I just have to tell you, I had this *exact* experience today! I
was talking to a new cow-orker of mine (no, actually she's quite
nice) about where she was from and I guessed she was from the
southern suburbs of Stockholm, which turned out to be true. I was just about to tell
her that "I could tell because..." when
my *other* co-worker (who has heard my linguaramblings before)
shouted out -- and I kid you not, these were her exact words:
"No, not again!"
