Not a different culture. Same in my country. It was a word game. And let me be clear: I was definitely offending Jay there. But let also be clear that it was the very first time I did this on purpose.

Here's another one for Jay (perhaps you can email him <g>): He's a loser because he apparently lost the discussion and stepped out by twitting me rather than saying sorry.
