Austin Man: Pot a squat. (said while pointing at an open seat next to him)
Me: Ha, ha. (sit down anyway)
AM: Sure is nice out. 
Me: Yup. 
===random awkward banter about the weather in Austin ===
Me: What are the winters like here?
AM: Well, yew ever have chicken soup?
Me: Yes. 
AM: Yew ever have bad chicken soup?
Me: Actually, no. 
AM: It's like the chicken jest walked through it. 
Me: I don't understand. 
AM: Yer used to winter being cold?
Me: Yes. 
AM: Folks are used to chicken soup that tastes like chicken. Austin winters are like if a chicken wore galoshes and walked through the soup. Doesn't really taste like chicken soup then. Ain't really winter here. 
Me: Oh.
