One time, I heard a hippie say, “The Cherokee called turkey vultures ‘peace eagles’,” and honestly there has never been a more American (derogatory) experience in my entire life. Because of this, even though it made no sense to anybody, I would sometimes say, “The Powhatan called eagles ‘war vultures’,” when I could slip it in, usually in a larger conversation with people only partially paying attention to each other, mostly just waiting for their chance to tell the thing they thought of seven minutes ago that they can’t let go of to stay in pace with the actual conversation. In those instances, even though what I’ve said is entirely confusing, they don’t really wanna go into what the fuck did I mean because they’re actually not trying to listen, but talk, and not necessarily to you but at you. Anyways, I got bored with that even after doing it a few times, so now I say, “Over in Powhatan County, they call eagles ‘war vultures’.” This is especially funny to me because of what a shitty place Powhatan County is.
