OP Please tell me that you guys know what slovenly means.
I've just lost 20 $ to my hubby because of that word. Yesterday, he forgot to wear a tie when going off to work so I teased him and said, "oh sure, go to work all slovenly."
Well, he gave me that blank look again, and asked what on earth I meant. After I explained, he told me nobody but me would know what that word meant. He is French so I argued that English people would definitely know it - but we left it at that.
Today, he brought it up again and we bet on it. I said the English folks in our office would know what it meant - he said the majority would not.
Pssshhhhh...not only did the majority not know - - - nobody knew!! Dag nabbit!
He often tells me I use words nobody else would. Does that happen to you guys?
