Wife: He never pays attention to me. He always goes golfing.
Husband: She never wants to have sex. She's always complaining.

Friends (trying again):"Makeita."
Me: "Um, still doesn't sound familiar. Can you tell me the context? How are people using it?"
Friends: "They come to the drive through and they say 'Makeita #5' or "Makeita #1 with large fries."
Me: "Ohhh! They are saying 'Make it a'...!"
