Kitchens are busy, loud and perilous.
Communication is paramount. "Behind you" ,"hot corner", "sharp left" etc are common verbiage so one doesn't spin around into a forehead full of hot bacon grease.
"Heard" is the correct response to any verbal communication, bit of instruction, or piece of information acknowledging receipt of information.
For instance... Chef- "I need table 2 the fuck out of my shop, there's a baby growing a beard"
Line cooks- "Heard! 2 has wings"
Edit- thinking about it a little more, it's a little more than an acknowledgement, it's a more a confirmation of understanding. I'll occasionally here, instead of "heard" a response of "callback in 3 please"
Essentially meaning "my head is full of the next 9 steps and I can't fit yours as the tenth because I'm terribly busy, please remind me in 3 minutes"

In my kitchen we say "yes please!" or "mmm that sounds tasty" when the orders are yelled out

We need it finely processed for pizza. It's a bitch to clean, but it goes on... well, like two pizzas, so is it worth it? Not from a dishwasher's standpoint. But the owner charges $2 a topping so for now it stays.

Heard. I haven't worked pizza in 12 years. I'll take note if I do it again.

I was going to say an AA meeting.
But AA is for people who want to stop drinking?
He means Advanced Alcoholics.
Going for the Bar exams?
Some folks get past the Bar exams in one go but I keep taking shot after shot...
AA is for quitters
