I'm not sure I've ever understood the difference between shrimp and prawns.

Not arguing. But I'll bet I could distinguish shrimp from prawns in a blindfold taste test.

Just thought: is this a competive entry in the worlds most useless superpower contest?

Is it bad form to kill a friend of the family (friend of parents, but friend of ours too) for sending email spam?

Yes. You're only allowed to kill International Lottery Employees from Japan, concerned lawyers from Kenya, and anyone involved in the porn promotion business.

Not personal acquaintances. Sorry.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Not at all. In fact I think the latest Emily Post insists on it.

Nope.

My cat is fucking cute. And the other one tries fucking but he doesn't have the parts. This doesn't seem to faze him.

I grew up eating crawdads (very occasionally. From the irrigation ditches! Which now that I think, freaks me out considering all the fertilizers and pesticides that get in there,) not shrimp or anything. So I thought prawns were just a fancy sea-dweller name for shrimp. I felt all grown up eating at the Double Eagle in Mesilla for my 14th birthday. I ordered prawns in garlic butter and filet mignon.

OK, so.... no different than crawdads in garlic butter and a side of beef.

It was still delish.

I attended crawfish boils in Texas. Also known as mudbugs. (It was a special treat to suck the heads.) Same critter I assume. Delish (as you say), and quite different from either shrimp or prawns. I swear you give me all three I can taste the difference blindfolded.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have never been exposed to a definition of "prawn" other than "big shrimp."

Pretty much the definition I use too. Big shrimp taste different than little shrimp - at least to me.
