I find it more embarrassing to watch when somebody flips like JRO did there (HOW many times did he spit out the word "kotex", as if that was some sort of insult? The funny thing is that I had no idea what a "kotex" was until I looked it up.

For all you online Sherlock Holmes', try this one
(Works for almost anything)
You hear a word/brand you don't know, say 'kotex'.
You open a browser and bang in 'www.kotex.com'
Voila!
Now if that doesn't return anything useful, try some searchengine.
Honestly, what ARE some people online for?
bickering?
