I feel like chewing with your mouth open and talking with your mouth full must not be considered rude or gross in Indiana because everyone here does it. It's like working with a bunch of cartoon gluttons.

In china they talk with their mouth full because the slight discomfort from seeing chewed food is outweighed by the overwhelming value of conversing with your friends. After putting a full 15 seconds of thought into this, I agree.

It's definitely more of an auditory thing than a visual one. I guess Chinese naturally sounds pretty awful so it's not as much of an issue for them. It's also actually quite easy to carry on a conversation while eating a meal without talking with food in your mouth. Try it some time!

I hate the phrase "on the go". People always use it when talking about some product they like and it sounds like they're reading ad copy.

I was the sick child. Even threw up in a gift shop. My dad made me go even though I had stomach flu and bronchitis, because "we paid a lot for this trip and you're not just going to sleep in the hotel!"

Great family times.

A little thing that makes me angry is that I have a roughly 50% chance of coming down with a nasty, fever inducing cold or flu every time I use air travel. So half the time I go on vacation I'm "putting on a brave face" and wishing I could just lay in bed in the hotel.

Funny though, there seems to be a LOT of kids out there named Sissy now. I hear it at least once a week.

Sissy is southern hick slang for sister. E.g. Go find your sister becomes go find sissy. But maybe there actually are a lot of kids named sissy, I dunno.

The male equivalent is bubba or bub, but that doesn't seem as common.
