Which is also an American acronym. And TV show with an "s" at the
end.

Not to mention it being "housewives" not "housewifes"

I have seen it used on many international Usenet groups.

We will be home by then. If you do come get ready for dinner and a
picture show. Leaving Seville tomorrow. Going to Flamenco tonight. Spain
is amazing.

This is an International Usenet group and I suspect that it is used only by
Americans.

I just want to pipe up to say that, IMHO, what wine or other
beverages are served free on an airline is not my criteria on
whether or not they are cheapskates. To me, it has more to
do with... condition + age of the fleet, comfort of the seats,
terminal service, and communication. Do well in those areas,
and I'm willing to spare a few nickels for a drink.

There's always someone intelligent coming along to wreck the whole
conversation.

A common assumption, and always incorrect.
