Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's really "packie," short for Package Store, right?

Although, THAT reminds me of the time I said "paddy wagon" to my mother, and she FREAKED OUT. I didn't realize it was an Irish slur.

the time I said "paddy wagon" to my mother, and she FREAKED OUT. I didn't realize it was an Irish slur.

See, I had thought it was a wagon driven by Paddies. It took a while for me to get that white people were prejudiced against.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

A friend of mine from back home, and here sort of, was married to a Royal Marine and lived in England for a while. She used the term there, and everyone was pretty horrified.

Oh yeah, I know. But the same (pronounced) word is also a derogatory term for Pakistani, and I always get that initial ugly reaction and then consciously remind myself of what he's actually saying.
