Oct. 17th, 2009 03:39 pmYet another peculiarity of Texans in general:
"Perfect."
They use that word a lot. "That'd be perfect." Or, "that's absolutely perfect." And they do it over the smallest things. If someone offers to fetch me a refill on my drink in a restaurant, I don't respond with "that would be perfect!" My response is generally "thank you!"
I come from the South, and we say "lovely" or "wonderful." There is very little perfection, in my small kitten brain. So I don't use the word, because it simply doesn't seem appropriate. I would rather save it for when the occasion merits the usage of such a word.
But that's just me.
