Post subject:  The CHiF type guide to not be "out of town stupid" thread
I was flipping to ESPN 1000 today because I cannot handle Teddy Greenstein and his horrible sounding phone, nor do I like the Fantasy Football Island or whatever it is.....about the only time I tune out of Mac and Spiegs. So I switched up the dial and heard Carmen say San Fran or Frisco or something similar..........

When I was there, a tour guide said to NEVER say San Fran or Frisco while you're in San Francisco......EVER, apparently frowned upon.


Anybody else got any tourist faux pas? C'mon, C Howitt Fealz :P

Don't order a Black and Tan at a pub in Ireland outside of Dublin.

I could see how that might not be a good idea.

Black and Tans were a group of British soldiers that committed violence against the Irish civilians. They were originally supposed to suppress the revolution and fight the IRA, but they would also kill civilians.

Don't feel bad Eaglo. I had no idea what it was about, but was too afraid to ask considering I've showed off my immense stupidity enough already today.

:thumright:
