A quotation from Fussell, Paul:

«
Travelers learn not just foreign customs and curious cuisines and unfamiliar beliefs and novel forms of government. They learn, if they are lucky, humility. Experiencing on their senses a world different from their own, they realize their provincialism and recognize their ignorance.

"Carry-in" is another word for a potluck. I read on a website once that this word is a #regionalism centered in southern #Illinois, southern #Indiana, and southern #Ohio.

It was very common where I grew up, but I've met plenty of people who have never heard of the word. Have you?
