ColdChef, and CitrusFreak12, y'all need to work together from now on. Remember, there is no "I" in team.

I, who am white enough that Norwegians call me honkey, do not say "Neat."

I say "Spiffy," because I am that dangerous.

This kid has a lot to learn about the white man's habit of co-opting the cultures he subjugates.

I worked with an African-American lady who also had the habit of saying "Neat!"

And caught a fair amount of shit for it too.
