How you perceive that is entirely up to you.

That's probably my least favorite way of refusing to take responsibility for your own words.

I wasn't very confident about the bits and pieces, so I looked it up, and calling it hot dog leather is accurate.

It's actually a technical term disguised as common language.

Most people think genuine means "as real as you can get". Which is true in everyday language.

But when it comes to leather, "Genuine" is a quality grade that means "The lowest quality of leather that technically includes actual animal hide." Usually it's bits and pieces glued together.

Consider it the hot dog of leather.

I'm no expert, but I've only experienced fishiness after sex or a few days without a shower.

I did twice. First right after high school, and many years later, my work offered to pay for a master's program.

After three months, we're ready for them to go.

Honestly, I don't know how I would react if one of my kids told me something like that. I obviously would want to prevent it, but I don't think it would be an angry reaction. Mom might just not know how to deal with problems without fighting them aggressively.
