Are we talking about the same here?

Remember, when you talk to somebody, always ask about the context of the conversation.

One of the local television stations in South Louisiana actually aired an interview with a woman of color from New Orleans. The interviewer was woman from a Boston affiliate. She asked the interviewee how such total and complete devastation of the churches in the area had affected their lives. The woman replied," I don't know about all those other peoples but we gets our chicken from Popeye's". The look on the interviewer's face was priceless.
