A few times it happens in the grocery that the cashier notices my accent and asks where I'm from. I usually make them guess three times, and after them saying "Germany... Slovakia" I say "you're getting closer"... and then I get "Spain" or "Sweden". "Ummm... that was in the wrong direction." "Oh I'm geographically challenged". Now my gripe is the abuse of the word "challenge".

Knight 1: "Geography!"
