So before I continue to be bothered by what i think i s MIL's idiocracy - this an okay word to use?
I'm not interesting in a big flame throwing thread - I just want to know this is an acceptable use ofthis the word in our country.
It's not acceptable in Pittsburgh (leave us out of it, thanks) or anywhere else.
