A little while back I had to deal with a missing person. In the course of this, I asked a teenaged friend for a telephone number of a friend who she might be staying with. She dutifully checked her cell/mobile phone and showed me the number which was listed as "Kelly (or whoever) Yard". I then said, "So she's called Kelly Yard is she?". Both the young lady and the young whipper-snapper officer I was with then collapsed into a fit of giggles and I learned that "Yard" means "home" apparently.
I then realised that I have become like "Jim's Dad" in "American Pie" - an old bloke who causes endless merriment when he tries to speak to the younger generation.
