And I can't remember who here coined that.
I'm pretty sure it was Kat.

In Kathmandu, it's a constant chorus of "namaste." You make eye contact, accidental or not, and you must exchange it. It wasn't until the last few days that "motherfucker" didn't echo in my head. t /bad

ION, 6 clementines and pink lady are 2 clementines too many for my guts. Oops.

And sometimes we see an Indian dude walking out of a bank and say "Namaste," probably to make him feel nice, but instead we totally make him feel weird and Other-tastic. There is no winning!
Dude, you get so much random Othering. WTF, Humans?

True, true. I've been guilty of being the tool when I was thrilled to be able to use simple sentences in Spanish. Now, I generally wait to listen to a person before I make MYSELF feel cool by breaking out my sad little snippets of politesse.

My officemate frequently greets Jewish students with "Shalom!" I've tried to explain to him why that's not appropriate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But pink, Sue! Your kitchen is exactly like the apartment kitchen I had for 7 years, except I didn't have the little shelf thingie (love, and it was about 3 feet wide.
I love my new kitchen (new to me), avocado green walls and huge hole in the ceiling notwithstanding. I can TWIRL in it (and often do.)
