When we run out of them upstairs, I've been known to appropriate some from our greenroom, pocketing a few with one hand as I smile and greet our guests with the other. One time, Dave Zinczenko of 'Eat this, Not That!' fame, busted me in the act. The cookies apparently fall in the 'not that' category. I made a note of it.

WHAT DOES GREENROOM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

greenroom

Green room

The green room functions as a waiting room and lounge for performers before and after a performance, and during the show when they are not engaged onstage. The origin of the term is often ascribed to such rooms historically being painted green, yet the modern "green room" is usually not green at all.
