Are you crazy? The safety will be on, clip in.
This is going to get so Florida, so I'm sorry. Most of the people I know who carry daily carry guns without safeties, so that just wouldn't work. Also, it's literally a mark of distinction between "responsible gun owners" and irresponsible ones that before the alcohol comes out all the guns are made conspicuously safe, unless the person is a designated non drinker. They would take on the unspoken responsibility of being armed and vigilant for the rest of the group. This will happen discreetly in mixed company, but likely conspicuously if everyone present carries a gun.
And anyone committing the faux pas of calling a magazine a clip would get a polite correction, and if repeated they wouldn't be invited next time.
The toast is wrong for Florida though, we'd have Cuban bread.
The bacon though - we went to La Teresita here for breakfast, my kids ordered bacon and they brought them a whole bowl full of bacon to share.
They glory in the bounty of food. I went to a Cuban restaurant with a friend who was vegetarian. The staff just flat couldn't understand the concept. Why wouldn't you eat meat if it was available?
Constantokra? Could you have a word with my okra plants? They have not flowered yet, are flourishing in the heat but no okra. I planted fewer because in years past we couldn't keep up with them, but this year they hesitate? We want constant okra.
Everyone wants constantokra, but only a select few can achieve it.
Army here. After getting out, it took me a VERY long time and a lot of mental struggle to start calling magazines "clips" in passing conversation, just to troll everyone at the range.
I went to edit the post and fat-finger deleted it. Basically I said I'm not that far from Florida and regional differences are wild. More than that, but I just finished dinner after a brisk walk in not-as-hot but thick-with-humidity-and-mosquitos air and I'm going to be lazy while I enjoy cold water.
