Since I work in the medical field, white-out is a no-no. I needed to make a correction to a printed document before I made a billion copies, so I was on the hunt. Word on the street was that one of the managers upstairs had some. So I went into her office and the conversation went a little like this:
I’m pretty sure she thought I was speaking Chinese.
She says, "whyyyyt-at". Next time I will ask for, "liquid paper" or maybe "correction fluid"?
ME: Hi, do you have any white-out?
HER: What?
ME: Do you have any white-out?
HER: Do I have any what?
ME: White-out? Like the white stuff you put over mistakes on paper?
HER: Ooooh, White-out!
ME: Yeah!
HER: Honey, where are you from?!
