Oh, State and Main...If memory serves, the movie was filmed in Manchester-by-the-Sea as a stand-in for Vermont? I've seen the movie and have been to Manchester, MA a few times as a teenager, probably around the time of the filming/your wedding.

Interesting perspective. But what if your wealthy friends from a wealthy uni and town were all in entertainment and on talk shows, concerts, tv, etc? If they were regularly on the auditioning couch in their 20's and trying to hang on to their looks in their 30's/40's- the years they're having or raising kids- I…

I don't know why the end part of your story really struck a nerve, heh. I'm all....A head pat? Really? Your friend has never been in a situation where there was a term or slang for something that was unfamiliar to him? I guess he doesn't travel much.
