compliments of Dr. S

Since she's originally from India, she sometimes forgets her English words or uses the wrong one entirely.
Tonight she was telling us about counseling in a prison setting. She said, "Now when you sit down to evaluate a primate... wait, that's not right. What do you call a person in prison?"

We all had a good laugh about that, and then she told us about a time right after she moved to America. She said it had rained really hard and the pond in her backyard flooded. There were slugs everywhere.
She started yelling for her husband, "Charlie! Come here, there are sluts everywhere! Oh my goodness, there are so many sluts! Charlie, get these horrible, disgusting sluts out of my yard!"
Her husband (who is American) ran outside and said, "Sangeeta, you're using the wrong word, quiet down or the neighbors will hear you!"

: )
Hope that brightened your day.
