I know most people don't know the difference. It's only a problem for me when a cop character or ex-con uses them interchangeably. Believe me, of all people, an ex-con would definitely be clear about the difference.
I agree with Dascoyne. I've known a few people who were/are ex-cons, and they definitely use the correct words to define whether they were in jail, or in prison. Also, none of them ever used terms like "cooler", "pen", or "slammer". :rolleyes
Which reminds me, "cooler" in WW2 films I think meant confinement in isolation - what folks think of as "solitary confinement." In California today we no longer use the term "solitary confinement". We use the more PC term, "administrative segregation." Also the state makes it clear that inmates aren't "prisoners" - they're "inmates." I guess "prisoner" implies victimhood.
I've never seen that with the brass still in place, but I've seen plenty of times when there's no riffling grooves on a spent round. That'd only be plausible if you're being shot at with a shotgun or smoothbore muzzleloader!
I don't eat Asian takeout so I don't know how people eat it, but yeah, you see that ALL the time in film, don't you?
I have heard both "Club Fed" and "Camp Snoopy" used to describe an extremely minimum security facility. But no, never "clink", "pokey", or "hoosegow". I did hear "The Gray Bar Hotel" once.
I've never actually seen Chinese take out in those little to go boxes, I've only seen them used for left overs, or, at most, small dishes, but for proper take out I've only seen restaurants use Styrofoam boxes of varying sizes. I've seen this in both fast Chinese places and in sit down restaurants that also offer food to go.
Rifling is the unavoidable reality of the bullet exiting the barrel. If it's caught in the teeth, then that's super-hero or comedy in effect.
I usually eat out of the container unless there is too much food or if sharing. Why dirty a plate or bowl?
