There's plenty of chow, and the drinks are in the cooler.

Chow is also a breed of dog --

Ciao or ciao ( rhymes with chow ) is an Italian word frequently used by English speakers, meaning good-bye or hello --
See you at work tomorrow. Ciao!
Ciao! I didn't expect to see a familiar face!

Now that you know that, you can say--
"Let's meet for some chow after work on Friday. Ciao!"
