I offended a Californian recently. I've met him twice max at work. He waltzes into the office, walks straight up behind me and tries to give me a neck massage. Needless to say in true Scottish lilting tones I went. 'Aarrgh wituryedaen? Personal space man personal space'. He looked like I'd vomited on him (probably sounds the same to be fair). Hysterically everyone in the room looked stunned, turned to him and went - 'don't you know she's British?' So I felt less weird somehow. Being Californian he just shrugged and walked off. I feel a tad bad. (But only a tad).
He's since called me both uptight and old. I've called him a half arsehole half hippy.
I think I've made a new friend.

re Jonesing - your daughter is using drug speak. It means a strong craving but linked to drug use (like being muchied) originally linked to opiate use methinks. lock her up now!
p.s smoked is worse but since she is picking this up from 8 year olds maybe don't worry too much
