If he is going to insist on getting you a driver, could you suggest a driver fitting...then you would get a club that fits you.

No - he won't insist although he has bought me clubs in the past without asking.
Are you his "baby" sister? I think buying clubs is a very personal thing.

I am younger. I'm not really into equipment so I'm not very picky.

I didn't pay attention to anything that was said after this because I'm irritated at myself for not thinking of this nickname for Diane, considering how perfect it is for here. And fun to say.

Gosh, Harry--he's been calling her that for weeks.
And here we thought you paid attention. :sad:

I have a little nickname for you, too, darling. I just keep it a secret.

You've certainly kept it a secret from me.
Edit: I'm not the type who gets nicknames, anyway.

It's a casual kind of sweat pants day in our home office. My Wife is sitting across from me in her long white comfortable old sweater, wearing her new glasses, with her hair pulled up in a Sarah Palin kind of bun.
I'm not sure whether I should start peppering her with political questions, laugh at her, praise her conservatism, or vote for her.
I wonder if she can see Russia.

I'm not sure if it's her, or Tina Fey's portrayal of her, but when I see her the word vacuous pops into my mind.

A word you'd never associate with Mrs. Esox. On pain of death.

I just finished reading a report she wrote. Vacuous she is not. I complimented her, but she's crabby due to Christmas cooking, cleaning, and shopping pressures. I'm steering clear for most of the rest of the day by doing my grocery shopping.

Is it wrong that I had to look the meaning of that word up?

Yes. I suppose you could try to pass it off as an American idiom, but that would be stretching.

Could I pretend that English isn't my first language?

You could claim Irish, I suppose. That's the current term for what we Yankees think of as Gaelic, isn't it?
One gathers you aren't majoring in the humanities.

Indeed. Irish gaelic.
Is fearr Gaeilge briste na Bearla cliste.
One would be correct in that assumption.

"Broken Irish is better than clever English"?
Did you feed it to the birds?
