So you can - I obviously have a problem with drop-down menus because it took me months on Tumblr to realise you could type into the 'search tags and blogs' box. D'oh.
My preferred arguing technique is the Benton Fraser school of incremental eyebrow raises What I wanna know is why the hell doesn't this work for me as well as it does for Fraser. I must not be Canadian enough.
Maybe it depends who you're arguing with? Me and Spanish Husband nicely fit the cultural stereotypes that Fraser and Ray represent, so he can be counted upon to be much more excitable than me. This makes passive aggressive eyebrow arguing a useful approach to ensure our rows don't reach nuclear meltdown - it's gotten ugly the few times I shouted back. So perhaps it's not that you aren't Canadian enough, it's that the people available to argue with are themselves TOO Canadian?
