a "Kitchen Pass"

[+meralgia]

Many cachers I've run into claim that they got a "Kitchen Pass" to go out caching. Who coined the term, and what exactly does it mean? That you did enough dishes to be "allowed" to play?

According to urban dictionary (the best source for slang terms): http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?...=kitchen%20pass

 

kitchen pass

Getting permission from your wife/girlfriend to go out.

"Hey man, did you get a kitchen pass for Friday? "

 

 

According to http://www.wordspy.com/words/kitchenpass.asp , the term has been in use since the 1970s at least.

probably a little old fashioned as it assumes the wife/girlfriend is always in the kitchen. probably barefoot and pregnant too!

LOL, I took it to mean that wife/girlfriend told him they could have a few hours before he needed to be home to cook supper.

My wife always lets me go if she can also come along - It's the only time she gets her shoes back.

Wow, I thought it meant he could come with me --instead of having to stay home and cook and do the dishes while I went alone!

Here's my pass, awarded to me many moons ago at my 1K presentation.

Now that's the funniest thing I've heard all day. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face. That's great. I'm going to ask the wife for a kitchen pass now.

Well I've been a Chef for a long time and never have heard of the phrase Kitchen Pass. So this sounds like something that I need to do some research on.

But here is a cute story or so I think. After I got married way way back in the 70's I fixed an elegant Thanksgiving Dinner for my Bride. Well being a chef if made this dish, that dish, this sauce, etc. etc.

And I was informed that I made a mess out of her KITCHEN. So since then I've stayed out of HER KITCHEN, and she can bring me a cold one to my Chair, less I mess up her Kitchen.

So I guess I was given a Kiitchen Pass.

that's a lifetime pass!

I would have thought a kitchen pass was when you have done enough work in the kitchen (around the house) to be allowed to spend time out geocaching with out being nagged at when you got home for being away too long cause the taps still dripping or the lawn still hasn't been mowed sort of thing.

no, that would be a Honey-do pass...completely different and / or the same.
