Example:
Bob sashayed up to the bar and addressed the barkeep, "Pardon me, proprietor, please prepare me a particularly powerful potation; I'm parched. Pal, perchance you would partake; I will provide prerequisite pecuniary particulars?"
Bob gets thrown out of more bars than anyone he knows; he really doesn't mean to spit at the bartenders.
