Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I don't think I've ever heard peanuts referred to groundnut but it makes sense.
When I first came to US, and I first heard the word Peanut, I had no idea what it was and the word sounded so rude I was shocked! 🤣
I get it but it's hilarious to a girl that grew up with peanut fields almost out my back door. I can see how it might sound vulgar considering another name for male body parts is nuts🤣 The link has a photo of a peanut field. Deer love them as much as humans.

I've only had artichokes from a jar. I cook them sometimes. I should learn to cook when in season. Can't go wrong with butter. It's so expensive but I keep buying it. Every time I go to the store I get a box.
