5 Shots at Starbucks

This morning I went to the one Starbucks in town that has a drive-up window. Now the reason I go to Starbucks is because I am an addict and they have the legal drug that I crave (for the illegal ones I have to go elsewhere) but as I was ordering and using the Starbucks lingo/language I had a fleeting thought of wishing I never knew the words Latte, 5 shots, soy, vanilla, and venti. Yes, I want the java jolt but I feel like I have lowered my IQ just by being there and saying those words. But then all junkies know they have a problem and just want the rush. I was pondering whether in the future we will all have special language just for shopping like debit card, charge card, pin number, plastic or paper, etc and actual paper money will be extinct.
