An example of a conversation I had at English Corner:
Student: But I have seen in movies that girls will often call each other "bitch" and it is not a mean word.

Student: But I have seen it in the movies.
Me: ............... You shouldn't believe everything you see in movies. People will always be offended if you call them bitch.
Sometimes, my response to these type of discussions is.... "Does everyone in China know kung fu? No? Well, not everyone in America lives in NYC....drives a Mercedes.....etc."
