* \\\"Old\\\": Ask a 4 - year old how old you have to be to be considered \\\"old\\\" and they might answer \\\"25\\\". Ask a 25 - year old, and they might tell you 50 or 65. Ask a 50 - year old, and they might say 70 or 80.
** So, what response do you get if you ask a 70- or 80-year-old?
***Dead.
* \\\"Yankee\\\", as explained by E. B. White:
-->To foreigners, a Yankee is an American. To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner. To Northerners, a Yankee is an Easterner. To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander. To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter. And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast.
** Today, Vermont residents would probably be more likely to think that a \\\"Yankee\\\" is a baseball player.
*** And the first American you asked would probably say \\\"northeast\\\" right from the start. No one lumps Montana with New Hampshire. The first \\\'\\\'[[HypocriticalHumor real]]\\\'\\\' [[HypocriticalHumor American]] anyway.
* [[http://wondermark.com/333/ This]] \\\'\\\'{{Wondermark}}\\\'\\\' strip is relevant.
* \\\"Anyone who drives slower than you is an idiot, and anyone who drives faster than you is a \\\'\\\'\\\'MANIAC!\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\" - GeorgeCarlin
** Along the same lines, \\\"Any culture less civilised than your own are barbarians. Any culture more civilised is decadent.\\\"
