      Not to be confused with the small elevator-like devices found in restaurants, hotels and such, dumb-waiter refers to the idiot - and there's always one - serving hors d'oeuvres to the bride and groom at a wedding who allows their tray to be pillaged of anything edible before they even get to the wedding party.
