The undomesticated female
Revealed I was a drop out from Woman 101 again last night. Went out running with two workmates (great fun and plan to do again), but along the way the other two got to discussing past christmas presents. One said that her mother had given her some [Name]* knives. I'd never heard of that kind of knife, and I was envisioning carving, linocutting and throwing knives, or some martial art. It took a good few yards - panting along, with energetic Border Collie keeping the pace - for it to be established that these were a particular, and reasonably famous, make of kitchen knives. Never occurred to me that kitchen knives might be known by their makes. Thought any adjective attached would donate function.
*Can't recall name.

Then there are the days when one feels one has failed Human 101, and it really is time the landing party came back and retrieved one, because you don't know how much longer you are going to be able to be convincing.
