My girlfriend just called salad dressing “leaf sauce” and I’m either going to trademark it or slam my head into a wall until I’m unconscious.

I couldn’t remember the words “Maple Syrup” so I called it “Pancake Sauce”... Now my mind is expanding…
It’s not milk… It’s Cereal Sauce.
It’s not half and half… It’s Coffee Syrup.
It’s not salad dressing… It’s Lettuce Sauce.
Good morning y’all.
