Peas Hold!

Finished Peas Hold around midnight and sent off. Mooch wrote back "this is the business". I love slang cooked up in the crockpot of another culture. When I've been abroad in the past I've been wary of my use of language. Not that I'm much of a slanger, but I didn't want to speak some witches brew that wouldn't be understood.

But foreigners here seem aware that slinging slang is charming and colorful.

Why can't I go abroad and put some slang here and there? Instead I talk like the President of the company. Clearly and businesslike as though the point of communication were absolutely fact based and bottom line. "I would like a glass of water." "Could you please tell me where the Eiffel Tower is?"

But that's a kind of difference between Americans and the rest of the world. We always want to communicate our needs whereas everyone else wants to communicate the idea of who they are.

N-E-W Peas Hold.
