This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.

P.S. Great series of tips BTW
I'll add a name to the list. I knew a mom whose kids referred to anyone they didn't like as "stinky lady", which is endlessly funny in any application.
(See? HEE-larious.)
I will however, point out that this is Jason's topic. I only get in trouble for commenting on eye brows.
Is this bad? I've only ever heard "white" and "black" used as terms - both which are normal and not taboo. i.e. "black babies are so cute," "white people can't dance"
Example: in the seventh grade, I about got the crap kicked out of me. In the locker room after gym some other kids were being loud. I said in passing, "I wish those girls would shut up". However, when the offending party thought I said, "I wish those (black) girls would shut up" - WOW - major drama. And I can see why. If I had really said what they thought I had, I would have been insinuating that their whole race was a nuisance and should adapt its behavior to fit whatever restrictions my race preferred. Luckily, a friend came to my defense and affirmed that I was not, in fact, a bigoted creep but merely a kid with a headache. Tragedy averted.
They used to laugh about how they were always featured in Taylor's admissions material.
