Necking

When I walk to work I hear a lot of bits of conversations. Most are boring work stuff, which can be entertaining if I walk in front of the same people for a few blocks. Most of the time it's the same conversation but different people are having it, complaining about people at work.

Today I heard one bit of one half of a conversation that made me chuckle. It was a young lady, I'm guessing in her mid to low 20's. She was on the phone. This was all I heard.

"I didn't see him, but I did see Biden...Biden and his wife. I didn't like her dress at all!"

She pronounced Biden like Bidden as in forbidden. You should go back and read the sentence again using her pronunciation. So this girl has clearly seen some coverage of these events, but some how missed the proper pronunciation of our Vice President, whose name has probably been said over 1,000 times in the last couple of days.

The best conversation I ever heard was between two older men. I would say in their late 50's maybe early 60's. This was all I heard.

Man#1 "Were they necking?"
Man#2 "Necking and a lot more!"
