[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: geographical literacy

[Doreen]

  I personally feel that my relationship with my then-intended's father (we never did get married) was permanently marred when I laughed when he called a certain motel a "La /KWIN-tah/". I thought he was joking. 
  --Amanda, who actually has heard /ta-MALES/ (two syllables) for tamales, too. 


  My ex-mother-in-law was more forgiving than your intended father-in-law when she said, "Oh, there is a MER - deez BEENZ!" I must have flashed her a "no clue" look, because it dawned on her that that was not right. When she told me my father-in-law had told her that, I understood. The word, "git" defines him perfectly.
