Chaps...now there's an Americanism...not all "youse blokes or geezers"
but rather those leather pants with the holes in the crotch and ar$e!
Here in Oz, they're heavily associated with those things the Poms puff on!
I don't think I have ever seen a motorcyclist in Oz wearing them.

Darth -.I self-exiled myself from The Playhouse a while back after everything seemed to go nuts with name calling, a lot of ill-feelings and what looked like plain old hatred.
I am back in the Playhouse after self-exile, but I just post things involving BOOBIES! (I stick to Doug's guidelines) You should just lurk for that reason alone!

Maybe my hypersensitivity is malfunctioning, but I don't see how that would make them feel subordinate?nor would I make my wait-person feel subordinate by stating, "I'll have...".
Serious question, you're going to illuminate something for me on this one.
So many waitstaff lead off with "What'll ya have?" that I just assumed "I'll have..." was a normal response?
