timepiececlockAmericans who don't live in the SF Bay Area:
Do you know what a "valley girl" is? Or, do you know what "valley girl talk" sounds like?
I'm curious, because I was chatting with my mom, and she thinks valley girl is a slang term that's fairly specific to the Santa Clara Valley and the South Bay. I was surprised... I hadn't thought that it might just be a local phrase, and not a more spread out one, because I'd heard it a lot growing up. I could certainly identify a valley girl stereotype in a movie or on tv. Which of course makes me California-centric, I admit, but hey I do live here.

The British Empire once had a 20 minute war with an Africian nation, but peace was decalred before any fighting. I'm not sure if that is the shortest ever war?
