I've been on both sides of this. I remember I was a supervisor working for a laboratory. I had to call this insurance company in the South. I was yakking to a co-worker while I was on hold about chit'lins and how I used to eat them when I was a kid, but I didn't understand how anyone could eat them now. I know I said something about southern people liking them, but I can't even paraphrase now, but the guy came back on the line at some point and was listening to me. He asked, "Do you eat those?" and my mind raced as I tried to recall all of what I'd said to navigate my foot out of my mouth.
