“Jeopardy” is a TV game show where the show host gives the answer to a question, and the contestants say what the question was in the first place.

Re-tire-ment party — putting retread tires on a vehicle is obviously not what a retirement party is about, but thinking about it that way, and adding the “bubbas” in, just came to mind. If you want to know what a bubba is, you’ll have to Google it. I don’t want to get into too much trouble by explaining it.

Bubblers are only understood by Wisconsinites and people who have been there. The Cubs and the Brewers are friendly rival baseball teams in Chicago and Milwaukee, respectively.

Foggy Mountain Breakdown is a bluegrass tune that is well-known in the U.S., while Mountain Dew is both a high-caffeine soda and a hillbilly term for high-powered homemade liquor. The hillbilly thing connected to the bluegrass music, which is also a hillbilly thing.

It’s fun to see our cultural differences, even though we sort of speak the same language, isn’t it? U.K. people eat biscuits and we do, too, but we eat ours with pork sausage gravy all over them, while yours are what we call cookies, and we eat them with milk or coffee. From what I’m told, we wear “pants” as outerwear (slacks, trousers), but U.K. folks keep pants under their slacks. Just fun!
