I'm sure grandparents would have alot to say about the youth of today. And much of it you probably wouldnt want to hear.

You're right. I could just ask. Just didn't feel like calling/texting her, but I will.

I also wanted to get a sort of survey about the word "show" because I've heard it occasionally and wondered. It hasn't been used in my immediate social circle.

To the several of you who are asking why we were texting... She was at work and has a long commute. That takes into account 12 hours of her day. It was either text or nothing.

If/when I know she is free to talk on the phone I will call.

To me a "show" is a play but then again I live in the UK. Though admitedly not many people do go the theatre nowadays ( I am one of those oddballs).

Surely the best thing is simply to ask the young Lady in question ? Direct, to the point and a few seconds later the problem is solved and the question answered...

Nobody says "show" anymore when they mean a movie. A show to me would most likely mean a play, not a concert. Just ask her!

It depends on your scene really.

If you're involved in local art or music culture, the term "show" definitely does not mean movie!

God, and he still hasn't found out...the suspense is killing me!

I hate it when that happens. Not only does it keep you from enjoying the show but it disturbs people seated nearby too.
