Churchill was visiting the American south. The hostess inquired as to which part of the chicken he would prefer. Churchill replied, "The breast." He was set straight by her on the spot. He was informed that in polite company one said "White meat." Anyway, weeks later when he had returned to England, he sent her a thank you card and enclosed was a brooch. With it was the request that she pin it to her white meat. Such a language we have.
