I think a german colleague used the word “greenhorn” in a meeting today (with Norwegians, an Italian and me). Wow! I haven’t heard that word in a while. He must be reading Hardy Boys books or something 😀
I’m actually quite impressed.

As a foreigner who spends most of the last 4 years talking to non-native speakers I’ve learned to never use slang with them. If one does then one will be re-phrasing their sentence about 3 seconds after one finishes it.
