No you’re not, some of the poshest people I know REVEL in a bargain (I am British). They’re much more likely to tell you the price of something if it was ridiculously cheap than they are if they’ve actually dropped some real cash on something. Talking about (real) money is incredibly gauche.

All I have to pull from is my goat brethren.

I gotta say, I was not expecting that.

Each one of these from Rodrigue is that. Here’s the expensive, silly tradition, I hate it, eh, I’m gonna do it, too expensive, oh well.

To wait until the game was over and then to open up the gates to the…

The French Ambassador to the US had some strong words for Trump after his tweet. Gerard Araud seems like a quality guy.

You're right, of course, and I think the idea of contextual footnotes is a good one. It allows for reflection on the issue and opens discussion to understand racism and how it impacts people differently/the same way today.
