coldjam	Folklore: Slang words (71* d)	RE: Folklore: Slang words	13 Jul 05
From: manitas_at_work - PM Date: 13 Jul 05 - 11:27 AM We eat our crisps out of bags (usually foil) and our chips out of folded paper. On the other hand we do have fries in cardboard boxes. Oh you wiley Brits always trying to confuse us "Americans." I actually meant to say "chips". No matter, I was just trying to be flippant. Failure comes easily to me... I like Bill D's comments. If we are going to ever get along we have to have a common ground/language. To communicate. It's hard enough when we do speak the same language and everyone has their own understanding of what certain words mean. I see it over and over again on chat boards. People getting all riled up by some perceived slight. I see no problem with slang, but yeah, you should be able to tell the difference, AND speak it.
