Vmode posted...These are essentially questions that have arisen after consuming a boatload of American media over the years, and drunken hearsay from friends and acquaintances, that I haven’t really thought to ask about (or did and forgot).So I figured this would be as good a place as any to get some answers.
Onto the questions!
-Do you wear shoes indoors? As in just walk right into the house from outside?
-Does the milk you buy at the grocery store really have added sugar in it? Regular cow’s milk I mean, not the flavored stuff.
-In baseball, does it mean anything in particular if someone catches the ball without it touching the ground? I ask because I’ve all I know about baseball is what I’ve seen in clips online and they usually seem to be in a big hurry to throw the ball back, except when they catch it.
-Are portion sizes really that big? The normal ones I mean (If you order the “supersize” that’s to be expected).
-Do students really have to pledge a loyalty oath to the country every morning when school starts?
-What exactly is “bail”? If you get arrested can you just pay some money and then wander of as best you please until you have to go to court?
-Do people really drive to bars? Can you drink so much and then legally drive to make it worth doing?
-Is “detention” in school actually a thing? Can the school actually prevent student from leaving is they so choose? What if they had something planned afterwards like if they got movie tickets or a doctor’s appointment?
-Do you really have to tip 25% at restaurants? Even if the service/food is bad?
-Is “Yank” an offensive term? Like if someone from another country said something like “I don’t know, ask the yank.”.
