Some of these I don't have any idea of what they are/mean [milk-toast?] and
I think I'm better off.  Some things are offensive in today's social arena.
For example, mentioning that someone has a vanagon at a Porsche Club
meeting.  And then some things have been taken to the ridiculous.  More
examples than I care to mention, but hyphenated Americans comes immediately
to mind.
