Think of a breakfast muffin with sausage and egg.

Yep, that's the one.

You can see it, can't you?

Deep in your mind.

Sausage, egg, cheese, muffin.

I don't even need to say its name, do I?

Breakfast, done properly.

Served until 11 a.m.

Maybe it's just that you don't know how to use social courtesy.

Oh, that's all fashion.

Watch how busy post and damn post senate.

Act as host and hostess.

They know that courtesy means showing respect, thinking of the other person, real friendliness.

Hello!

And welcome to awesome etiquette, where we explore modern etiquette through the lens of consideration, respect, and honesty.

On today's show, we take your questions on asking guests to dress formally,

responding to touchy compliments, declining to host a party,

and politely asking people with accents to repeat themselves.

For awesome etiquette sustaining members, our question is about some tricky ex-wife new girlfriend dynamics.

Plus your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript on the cut and switch, zigzag, American style of dining.

All that's coming up.

Because it's nice to see you.
