I know this is anal, but since I collect South African insults, it bugs me when American material is reproduced as South African without the slightest effort being made to localise it (okay, this one does get credit for mentioning Wimpy). Thing is, here, we do not talk about tires, or hoods, or quarts (except in shebeens), or yard sales. And we spell neighbor “neighbour”.
