An Americanism dating back about a hundred years ??? I guess that explains why nobody cares much.
That's its first usage, not how long it's been since it's been used. Some people still use it actively today. But that's kinda the point - culturally, it's a word that we don't use here unless we're trying to be offensive. So, by "nobody cares much" you're talking about 300 million people (give or take) who constitute "nobody" - at a minimum. -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits
