Confusing Commercials

I know it looks like a lot of fun on television, but slamming your forkful of lobster into your ramekin of butter, causing the butter to fly all over the table, is frowned upon in most dining situations.

Confusing Terminology, Part 2

"Tailgating" is not a literal expression. You can enjoy your pre-football-game hibachi just as well if you drive a sedan!

Confusing Terminology

Don't be embarrassed by the term "dust jacket." It's something that comes standard on all books!

Avoiding Embarrassment

"Worcestershire" is very tricky to pronounce. Spare yourself the faux pas and just ask for "steak sauce."

Fireworks

It is usually considered rude to set of fireworks indoors. Yes, even sparklers.

Music

The two "classiest" genres of music are generally considered to be Jazz and "classical." You may be familiar with these genres and not even know it! An example of Jazz is Bobby McFerrin, and an example of "classical" music is the theme to The Lone Ranger!

Suspender Tip

Suspenders can sometimes be confusing. If your suspenders cross straps on one side, that side should be worn across the back, not across the chest.

A Hat Time in the Old Town Tonight!

Nothing classes up a social outing like a brand-new fedora. There are extensive hat sections in the men's department of most Target stores.

Packet In!

When throwing a dinner party, it is never acceptable to serve guests their condiments in packets. Don't be fooled by misleading terms like "fancy".

Charity

Donating to a good cause is a great way to spend that extra money. My favorite charities are "The Ronald McDonald House" and poker.
