Yeah, something like that.
I've been buying an olive-based hand made soap from Greece for years.....
...can't get it any more....the company went bankrupt. :angry:

The Greek community around here have no sympathy for them.....
....economically, they ain't been minding their Ps and Cues....or is that Ps and Styx?


:)

Congratulations on the three Gs in posts, BTW.....motormouth...:D

For God's Sake, I hate hearing pool cues called "Sticks". If you're new to pool, I get it, but it's especially bad when someone who's been around the game, or even builds cues calls it a "stick". It's a purpose built instrument. It's a tool, an implement, an extension of your arm. It's not some broken branch you found on the ground. People who call pool cues, "sticks" should be limited to playing bumper pool. No 8, 9, 10 ball, 1p, or 14.1 for you. I know many of you will disagree, but I had to get this minor rant off my chest... Thanks for listening.

Do you call fishing rods, fishing poles?

Heh-heh...When I order soda I sometimes ask for 'pop', unless I ask for 'soda' or 'soda pop', but I always get a fizzy beverage...except for that one time when I got a box of salty tasting white powder, but that guy knew I wasn't at the restaurant to do any baking.

I'll admit, I always forget whether I am supposed to call my bullet-holders 'clips' or 'magazines', so I just scratched actual names on each of them (my 1911's get masculine names, the 40sw get feminine names) and simply ask someone to hand me 'Carla' or 'Jason'.
 
A similar thing happened when I was working at a fabric shop and I said I needed a bolt. The owner asked, 'what pattern?'

I replied, 'I don't care, something with threads.'

We started to get frustrated after that.
 
Once when I was taping drywall in new construction with my dad he told me to go get some mud. He was pissed when the concrete truck showed up a few hours later.
 
I was helping my plumber friend one day and he asked me to grab some dope for him. I told him it was a bad idea to smoke weed when we didn't even have a medical marijuana card.
 
When I visited tijuana, some guy was laughing and telling me that I had tiny 'huevos'...I finally said, 'Sir, I don't know what you are talking about, I haven't any eggs at all!'

Everybody laughed then. Apparently it is odd to go out in public in Mexico without a couple of eggs.

He was probably making a yolk....:cool:

But since a pool cue is known there as a 'taco'....you could've told him to eat your stick.

Some guys play with sticks on felt; others use cues on cloth. Whatever. The object sliding through your bridge hand should be doing the talking. :grin-square:
