I noticed over the weekend that TV ads for Appleby's restaurants use "app" to mean 'appetizer' (possibly intending also a play on the name of the Appleby's chain).
Does "app" as an abbreviation for "appetizer" occur elsewhere? (It's hard to search.) Will it now find its way into the general lexicon?
