I love analyzing my native language, American English, and helping non-native speakers make sense of it. I've been doing this for fun with friends who speak English as a second language for nearly 30 years. I would like to first thank A.D., C.F. and E.A., and now P.G., for inspiring me to finally write this stuff down!

Potluck
A 'potluck' is a party or gathering where everyone brings a dish (i.e., salad, entree or dessert) to share with everyone else.
Example:
-What are you going to take to the potluck next week?
-My usual -- my grandmother's potato salad.
