Re: Largest amount of cash you\'ve ever had on your person?
I'm an NYC native and I always say "on line", I didn't realize that other people didn't. I also spent a bunch of time in the south and have started to say "y'all" sometimes.
I don't get what is so bad about saying "on line", there imagine a one dimensional line of people, you are somewhere on it.
