for my self, I work in a hard ware store and being retail I over hear a lot of conversations. most of which being related to the merchandise so often nothing I hear is boring. However, several weeks ago there was a lady and her husband looking at tiki torches. She said "I like these, they are authentic." which puzzled me enough that I wanted to interrupt and ask And what would an unauthentic tiki torch be? To her I suppose it was because they were made out of bamboo instead of plastic. but the way she said authentic was the same way some one would use the word in context to a famous painting.
alright, I am interested to hear what others have heard.
