Is the word āchatteringā somewhat offensive?
English is not my first language, but Iām very much willing to learn. So I watched this youtube short, and I completely missed the joke. Why was everyone baffled by him saying āare you ladies done chattering?ā Is it because of the word āchatteringā? I thought itās a normal looking, non-offensive word. Or maybe the moment when he said the word that made it offensive/irritating? One of the comment even pointed out that using the word āchatteringā instead of āchattingā made it infinitely funnier. I donāt get it, please help!

Fried vs deep fried
Sometimes, the word fried seems to mean deep fried, as in fried chicken. But fried eggs doesn't mean deep fried eggs. How can I tell in what cases fried means fried, and when it means deep fried? And what do you call chicken that is fried, but not deep fried? Meaning chicken that's cooked in a pan with a small amount of oil or butter, the same way you cook fried eggs... Is there another word for that cooking method? Thank you in advance for any help!
