When my mom was growing up, her parents would speak to each other in Yiddish when they didn't want the kids to know what they were saying. My dad somehow grew up with parents who switched between German and English all the time, and a grandmother who lived with them who spoke only German, and he can still barely put a sentence together.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I didn't know what a whipit was until I was in my thirties.
When I did one with a Buffista...
Um...

When I was in high school, getting high from spray air or other spray stuff was called huffing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
made your voice sound like it does if you inhaled helium.
If it's nitrous oxide like it used to be, it actually makes your voice deeper. Bigger molecules.

$20 seems worthwhile. 9 hours??
Where does SW even go that takes 9 hours?
they will still speak in Farsi even if he's around, thus excluding him from the conversation. That does strike me as rude.
My aunt's family will do this sometimes (Tagalog, not Farsi) but it's more when they're all in a big group (and there's usually about 20 of them on holidays) it's just more natural and they forget. It's funny because they'll catch themselves and someone will bring the conversation to a screeching halt and they restart in English. When I'm there anyway. My uncle I probably think could honestly care less so it may just be that he's conditioned them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm still traumatized from the duster girl on Intervention. She's got to be one of the most fucked-up people ever on that show.

East coast to west. Via Ohio and Nevada.
Duster? Someone wanna dust for me? It's kinda grossing me out and yet I can't be arsed.

The computer cleaner spray-can stuff. She just sucked on it constantly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I had NO IDEA what a whippet was (though I was fairly sure it was not a big skinny dog), nor that anyone would suck on pressurized noxious vapors in a can. Are there any kids left with traditional values who just smoke good old-fashioned joints in the bathroom during study hall?

Dude, whippets are old school.
