I guess the operative sports cliche would be "Ball don't lie" - why say anything at all, when all the context clues are already right there? Prompting somebody to get a fucking lobster is way more gauche than actually ordering the lobster.
Exactly! I think it'd be awkward as hell for someone to prompt me to order. Again, don't take me to an expensive restaurant if you don't want me to order an expensive dish.
