Two stories on not having another meaning for a word. One is my own, the other is from someone else. To protect the innocent, I won't say who. ;)
I was in S.E Idaho as a volunteer, and while visiting a couple, I overheard the gentleman talking to another on the phone. He was talking about how his son got a new outfit, how happy he was, etc. I was amused. I thought just women got all excited about new clothes. Come to find out he was talking about a TRUCK!
This next story also took place in Idaho. A San Francisco bay area young lady was attending a church college and went to a local dance when she spied a young man she was interested in. When he finally asked her to dance, they went through the usual questions you do in that situation; where are you from? (Idaho) What is your major?
When asked if he came with his roommates he said: "Nah, they're gay." "That's OK, I used to be gay too." You can imagine what this meant to the girl from the San Francisco area!
She later found out he meant they just were not interested in dating at the time.
They are married with 5 kids now.
