What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

*Bourdain voice* How far are we from an actual dairy, let alone any cow?!?! Cheese it might be but that's like saying [CRINGE REDACTED UNDER WOKE 2]. And yes, the crackers are recognizably a wheat product, but WHAT wheat? Flour isn't as snooty as wine but we should at least know...
