The Joys of Language

One of the profs who works here recounted a story worth repeating. His girlfriend is Russian. She is fluent in Russian, Mandarin, and English. Even though she speaks English beautifully, she occasionally says things that a native English speaker would not. The other day, she and Adam were walking through the city and she said, "Adam, can we please stop soon? My urine bubble is about to burst!"

I've decided that "urine bubble" is a far more apt (and fun) description of a bladder. From now on, all bladders shall be referred to as "urine bubbles."
