Bacon vs. prosciutto
Mommyo, passing the plate of appetizers around the table: “The Seven-Year-Old, would you like some prosciutto? It’s like bacon, but doesn’t need to be cooked.”
Daddyo, correctly: “It’s like bacon but is already cooked.”
Mommyo, huffily: “Well, I suppose you could say that if you wanted to be technically correct.”
Daddyo, assuredly: “I say that because it’s true.”
Mommyo, pointedly: “The Seven-Year-Old, your Daddyo is so semantical.”

Being technically correct is overrated, unless, of course, you’re the one who’s correct.
