Just a short, simple blog for Bob to share his thoughts.

A colleague recently reminded me of George Bernard Shaw's famous quote that "England and America are two countries separated by a common language." I have lived through many situations where I have experienced that sentiment firsthand. And with that in mind, I'd like to share a story about a conversation that I had when I was working with the British RAF:
RAF: "You troffing today?"
ME: O_o
RAF: "Yamming?"
ME: O_o
RAF: "Nose-bagging?"
ME: O_o
RAF: "Scoffing?"
ME: O_o
RAF: "Bucking & gagging?"
ME: O_o
RAF: "Are you eating lunch?"
ME: "Yes."
