Maybe you missed the irony Could also tie in with the differences between American and British English, when I was working in NYC in the mid 70s, periodically I'd notice these differences: "Move your ass" was evidently an acceptable way for a New Yorker to ask somebody to make room on a bench or sofa, but would be rude in London. "Oh, bloody hell, Martin!" as a response to a (work) request to use a different approach to a task is/was quite OK in London, but seemed to strike New Yorkers as quite out of order. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org
