So lately I've had poor communication skills. Especially when it comes to guy/girl communication. Not romance or crap like that, just straight up talking. I'll say something, they'll respond. But something happens in the transfer from their lips to my ears. It's like a different language.
Well, I did it again today. A friend of mine is graduating from high school and is going to college here in BR. So I went and bought her some stuff from her future school. I wanted to make a gift basket, but not something like a wicker basket (boring). I went to a few places and couldn't find whatever it was that I was looking for. I would know it once I saw it. I'm on my way to a craft store and epiphany! I know what I want. I'm going to get a fish bowl! Then I'll put all of her stuff in the fish bowl, wrap it in cellophane and tah-dah, a graduation gift!

I'm telling people about my fantastic idea and find myself having to explain the fish thing. Then someone tells me that they've only heard freshman being called fish in Texas. Is that true? Have none of you heard of freshman being called fish? I mean, really? What do y'all call freshman here?

Fresh meat.
For guys AND girls? The guys called the girls that in my neck of the woods...
we just called them freshmen. i've never heard of fish. "frosh" is big in the northeast, and i've heard of high school freshmen being called "greenies", but that's about it for the name calling.
