Addy: So I was thinking today about how weird it is that, no matter how long you study a foreign language, words can never have the same contextual meaning for you as they do native speakers.
Me: What do you mean?
Addy: Well, take this for example: I say the words "Red" and "Politics." What comes to your mind?
Me: Republican.
Addy: Really?
Me: Well, yeah. What were you thinking of?
Addy: Communism.
