Re: Help With U.S. Dialect/Slang Question
You just proved my point. Whether it was you or someone else who cut the conversation short, it doesn't matter. People in LA like to be on the run all the time and it is hard to have a long conversation with a stranger. And I'm only talking about around downtown LA and not the greater LA area which includes other suburban cities. Now I know I'm making a generalization here but I'm also making a comparison to a coffee shop in rural MO where you will find guys who spend 5-6 hours there with nowhere else to go which I highly doubt is the norm in LA.
