NightWing BS: Language: 'I forgot my glasses at home.' (64* d) RE: BS: Language: 'I forgot my glasses at home.' 11 Jun 24


US here, I'm from the Mountain West (Colorado, Rocky Mountains) but now live in the Mountain East (panhandle of Virginia, Appalachian Mountains).

"I forgot my X at P." meaning "I forgot my [item X] and left them at [place P]."

I would call this moderately common phrasing for most items and places and completely understandable. To my ear, at any rate. (However, I don't think that forgetting one's Rottweiler would be common ... anyplace!)
