After reading Spinglish: The Definitive Dictionary of Deliberately Deceptive Language, you wont ask others if they hiked the Appalachian trail.
Some of the terms are very funny(actually you will start thinking twice while using the terms in the book - refer fun-loving in the book) for eg - engaging the enemy on all sides, many real estates terms like almost new like almost pregnant, with natural light..
Recently I read an article on affluenza but didnt appreciate the evolution of the word until I read of it in the book. That word was the inflection point for me to see how contemporary it is.
