But I think I've got it:
Spoiler:Your, uh, half caf double vanilla latte is getting cold over here, Francis."
Yes, that's the one.

BTW, can somebody please explain to me why Dean is calling Sam 'Francis'? I get 'Samantha', but this?

The joke here is that VERY few people in the U.S. use Francis for a boy's name any more because it is considered a very...sissy? Wussy? Girly-girl? Bullies-please-pick-on-me name. A name for a boy who would order something like, say, a half-caf double vanilla latte?

He then goes back to Dean and says, "Next time pick a gender appropriate alias."

I can imagine that name causing all kinds of trouble. In Germany it used to be customary to give boys the middle name 'Maria' (as in the poet Rainer Maria Rilke) but that's not done anymore either. As for my son, I went with the international version 'Nicolas' instead of the German 'Nikolaus'. I figure any name ending in 'louse' was just begging for abuse.
Okay, new riddle anybody?
