A Lesson in International Relations

This is an email conversation that unfolded between Steven Corfe and I:

Moye: (in response to something Steven was late on)

I already did, SLOW POKE!

Steven:

What’s SLOW POKE? I like it.

Moye:

OMG are you serious? it’s what we used to say on the playground. stop being a slowpoke!

Steven:

do you mean slowcoach? slow poke sounds rude

Moye:

What’s a slowcoach?

Steven:

What’s a slow poke?

And then we realized…

THEY’RE THE SAME THING.
