Many object to the phrase "kill list" that is often used by people to
describe email which is automatically deleted upon reception. I once got
a very strong email for using the phrase "twit list". Apparently that
word is much stronger in other parts of the world than it is here in
Texas. So I use the fairly neutral phrase "autodelete list" any more. It
is more descriptive and less likely to be misunderstood.


I once got an adverse reaction when I described someone else as
penurious, even though I included myself in the same description.

Americans will need to do their homework on that, while some others can
have a good chuckle.
