While accessing the internet in a computer lab, I couldn't help but
overhear some students having fun shooting the breeze.  (They clearly
didn't do any work while I was there, despite open textbooks, printed
journal articles, and the like.)  One person claimed that the world is
dividing between people who like sauerkraut and those who don't.  Another
conversation explored semantic and oral associations between maven,
macher, and a brand of a men's shaver (mach).  Later, they debated the
water quality in various cities in California.
