This troper was talking to an American friend on MSN and we talked about new ideas. She said that she's a bit uneasy about change and all. I then asked her if she's a bit 'conversative' (with its original meaning of "opposing change or innovation"). She responded that she's not really conservative; her family is more liberal. That left me puzzled until I read the main page of this trope.

On a fine November Thursday evening, I asked an online friend if he knew anyone who enjoyed "day-after-Thanksgiving" sales, to which he responded that "Thanksgiving was last month." I'm in the United States; he's in Canada.
