From the "yeah, they knew what they were doing" files, marketing campaign for coffee chain tells customers to flick the bean.

Costa Coffee have been forced to apologise for leaving customers stunned by a 'rude' advert that urged students to 'flick the bean' to 'fuel wild nights out'.

Costa Coffee customers are shocked by VERY 'rude' advert

Richard Hards, 39, from London, initially thought the risqué Facebook post was a fake cooked up by an prankster, but was stunned when he discovered it was created by Costa Coffee.

Reads like they had a person in charge that wasn’t familiar with that particular slang term.

I guess that happens often in international corporations.

I'm confused by "rude". How is it rude? Crude? Perhaps. A little naughty? Sure. But "rude"? Is that more a British / non-American use of the word? Do I just need to grab my torch, head out to the car park and get my English-English translation book from the boot of my saloon?

I'd love to see them go to Voodoo Donuts next to get something to go with that coffee. That's the place where "good things come in pink boxes" and "the magic is in the hole". They might just implode.

Maybe Apple should offer an Outrage ring as an additional watch health metric for some people. Haven’t been upset enough today? Close your outrage ring.

I checked with my wife who’s from Canada, she was immediately familiar with the term and said that it probably be too much for some British sensibilities.

You ain't be goin' around judging people for their hobbies, be you?

As for the latter, I reckon it all depends up on what kinda masturbatin' you be doin', and what tools be involved. A sand blaster and a concrete mixer in your self-lovin' be makin' for all kinds of for wild nights.

My daughter had a French teacher in HS who for sake of being as nice as I can, was an idiot. She actually told her students one Friday to go home and "Netflix and Chill". When another teacher clued her in on what she said, she actually lectured the kids for letting her say it. SMH.
