It's a good first-pass for other types of neurological impairment, too - head injuries, strokes, etc.
Despite this paper (and most forms) clearly specifying "three objects", I've always seen this taught as three random/arbitrary words of different "types" - adjective/noun/verb, person/place/thing - or just "two common objects" instead of exactly a pen and a watch.
It's always fascinating to me when patients come up with incorrect-but-clever words for common items: "cutters" for scissors, "timeclock" for watch, "cigarette starter" for a lighter, etc.
In my early 20's, I briefly considered getting a new car, or maybe leasing.
Insurance would have been more than the monthly car payment, and when I expressed that $400/mo wasn't awful, but $1,000/mo for a car was a non-starter, the guy was seriously like "Well, do you want to eat food, or have a car (with lighted cup holders) to get to work?" and "If you can't afford rent, you can sleep in the car!"
That's still one of the dumbest conversations I've ever had.
Once upon a time, I was staying at a friend's house; her dad was something of an amateur military historian - two rooms full of wall-to-wall bookcases on military history, some SciFi, and all kinds of other stuff. Not much light reading.
Stoned and bored, I picked one off the shelf at random (Mother Night). I'm not sure how I missed Vonnegut's name on the cover, but I mistook it for one of his legitimate history books and read it cover-to-cover in one sitting. Woah, we definitely never learned about this in school!
I'm apparently in a minority here, but I've only known one guy to use it as a term of address (vs. how I just used it), and he notably did it with everyone, a la "dude" (so much that "Guy" became his nickname).
Chief, on the other hand, I've only heard directed at males.
Yeah, I grew up in PA and that's pretty common there, but when talking to one person, it's usually "Hey dude" or "Hey man" (also mostly gender-agnostic)
Only that one guy would use it for one person, sometimes similar to whatchamacallit: "Guy! Whaddareya doin up there?!" "C'mon, guy! We're gonna be late!" "Any of you guys see my toolbox? Did guy take it again?" (Which guy, man? Dude, there's like ten guys here. Bro, you gotta be more specific.)
I think this is really interesting - I've heard "guys" used to address a group of mixed genders ("how are you guys?") but it sounds much more gendered when used to refer to a group ("how many guys are in there?" or even "are you looking for those guys?").
Perhaps because addressing people comes with more implications and possible angles for communication with those people. So "guys" fits the bill for one desired nuance that became more popular in culture (the "laid back" nuances the article mentions). Previous generations were a lot more formal.
You are talking about shooting police officers, judges, law enforcement, and the people who support the law, as well as as their families.
I'm not going to pretend to be surprised - many American conservatives have expressed the same sentiments to me. However, I am surprised you post it in a public forum.
>Another way that insider trading can occur is if non-company employees—such as those from government regulators or accounting firms, law firms, or brokerages—gain material nonpublic information from their clients and use that information for their personal gain.
I know it's sarcasm, but you don't have to have "big secrets" in order to want privacy. Everyone knows what you're doing in the restroom, doesn't mean you're ok to going to a see-through public restroom.
