No one could possibly deserve it more!@ Nancy,I know you were being generous and even handed when you said today's society is more sophisticated, but I'm not sure I agree. The coarseness of the culture is real though. And a problem. It's everywhere of course, but just look at Scaramucci and his foul mouthed rant to the New Yorker. He truly believed that's how serious, sober people with huge responsibilities speak. Because, in his circles, they DO speak that way. More's the pity. That cowboy Wall Street braggadoccio is just one example, the frat boy, backward baseball hat wearing bro culture is another. I'll take civility, Cole Porter and clean shaven men over the shorts wearing, two days of stubble, foul mouthed feminists any day yeah, I'm looking at you SharpSince the expression "to hunker down" is fairly new, I guess it will mean whatever people choose it to mean, at least for a while. 11D defined hunkered down as "hid out. " Posts added nuances: Loren: "settle in and get serious"; Anon.
