In Passing...

I thought I'd pass along a favorite Berkeley web site, In Passing... that chronicles those snippets of conversation you overhear, e.g.:

"Apparently he had to talk her out of naming the baby Nintafiv."
"Is that... Norwegian?"
"No, Nintafiv -- like, "nine to five", I think. But then it was a boy, and he convinced her that would be too cruel."
"Isn't she actually Norwegian, though?"
--Two women talking outside Thai House

Also: Overheard in New York.

And take some time to read Pippa Passes about how the overheard snippet can change everything.

Merry Christmas!
