Yes, that word these days can get U in trouble. A man asked me at my dog park why I chose San Angelo's community to retire to. I said because I was being consevative in my approach (meaning monetarily), the guy threw a fit & called me all kinds of names and ran off. Jeeze louize!
Some people dont realize there are several different definitions in the Funk & Wagnals (spelling?), for a word.
Yes they do look nice tidy & fastidious dont they?
