Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.
You've translated but original question of what a cheeky Nandos is remains. So cheeky translates to naughty? And naughty is a type of Nandos food? Is there non-naughty Nandos? Or are they eating it in a naughty way? Or is Nandos somehow naughtier than curry from Wetherspoons?
My apologies no it isn't a type of food there, it is naughty in the terms of being indulgent or impulsive and is more of a turn of phrase that is often used in "lad culture" over here, which is sort of like a parallel to a "frat bro" in US culture. Think obnoxious, loud sometimes aggressive groups of guys.
Cheeky in this sense was in the past more often used in terms of alcoholic beverages so often people would use it to say things like "Do you fancy getting a cheeky pint after work". More modern usage it is often used to refer to food as well as drink and in the case of "cheeky nandos" will quite often be used by aforementioned "lads" when they have already had a few drinks and want to go and indulge in some chicken before going out and getting shit faced for the night.
Tldr: It is a turn of phrase used to mean indulging in an impulsive meal from the restaurant chain "Nandos"
Oh, so it's like kebab, something solid to fill you fast so you can get properly shitfaced.
Yeh pretty much -
I really hate this menu. Decimals should never be implied. I'm not paying £149 for a chicken.
That isn't an English menu, the prices are in R which I think is South African Rand and not Pounds. It was more to illustrate the type of food available.
It is in fact Rand, and TIL .za is the TLD for South Africa
Or zeros left off...
I assume it means 14.90. ?
Is there some kind of spice level:naughtiness correlation?
A cheeky monkey would be some sort of bum-looker, I reckon.
