"Well side-stepped....I was ashamed of myself for trying to lure you into slumdom"
As the Eagles said, "You can't take me anywhere I don't already know how to go!"
(slumdom) Perfectly good word that. Define: Metaphorically like a slum.
(very funny Spanish joke) Is that why the lollies my grandkids suck are called Chupa..I learn something new every day.
Yes, Mexicans seem to be somewhat remedial in that way. They appear to put things in these catchall categories somewhat more than we do in English. Of course we have the habit of calling a broad category by a brand name. Coke: to represent all sodas. Kleenex: equals all facial tissues.
