Debutantes curtsy to the Beaux Arts King at the initial ball of the season when presented by their father. The Debutante Ball ended in 2022 here in Oklahoma City—a pity since it was such a good fund raiser for the fine arts.
I had a sophomore boy in a physical science class twenty years ago whose insult du jour was “you’re such a d**che bag”. I called him into my office, and asked him if he knew what that was. He said “Sure. It’s that bag on airplanes you throw up in.” So I explained that was called a barf bag, and then explained what the other was. Poor kid turned absolutely white and said “OMG, that’s gross!” I reached up, patted him on the shoulder, walked him to the hall and gave him a note for his next teacher to excuse the tardy.
Business away.
