Even when I go to a non-DQ ice-cream store, I still order a 'blizzard'.

I don't have the desire to memorize which ice cream store calls them a flurry or a mixy-freeze or storm or an avalanche or whatever ... everyone knows what a "blizzard" is no matter what it's actually called.

When I tell people I'm eating a blizzard, I'm not trying to deceive them into thinking I went to DQ rather than mom & pops ice-cream store down the street. Furhtermore, no matter where I went when I say I am eating a "reese's cup blizzard" they know exactly what I'm getting at.

I don't see anyone ridiculing IMNA for using a football term, or by saying that IMNA is intentionally lying by trying to say that triathletes that finish their race are as tough as the "old school" football players that use to play "both ways" (offense and defense). maybe you should bring that issue up. =)

So if we just established that one group is knowledgeable, are you saying there is another group who is "not" knowledgeable?

Isn't that obvoius? How many people out of 100 could accurately label the distances of an IM race?
