Too much informationRakky writes "A friend of mine, when quizzed why she was late to the pub, announced 'I was at accident and emergency, having a stuck tampon removed. They had to have a right old dig around for it.' Suffice to say, no one was interested in their Scampi Fries after that."
When have you shared just that little too much?

During the American Revolution / War of Independencethe British army was trained to fight standing in ranks. The Americans, being woodsmen/hunter types, would hide behind trees and snipe at them. Some of the British realised that the Americans' tactics were more practical, and so copied them - and often the British officers would order them to get back into line, presumably telling them off for skulking behind bushes like damn cowards. Given that the Americans won, that would be too much in formation.
(btw this is apparently an actual true story)
