English language and USA culture questions for Ep 1 and 2

Ok, while Telltale release spanish subtitles (and french, german, italian... also) I would want to ask you, all english native (or not) speakers and USA residents, some questions:

- At Episode 1, Larry asks Lee about Lilly. I told her that she's fine. Does this mean that she's nice or that Lee thinks that Lilly it's pretty?:D When you tell this to Larry answer to Lee simply "F*ck you". :eek:

- What's the difference between a dairy farm and a normal farm? I know that a ranch have animals for meat. (Yeah, I'm urban and no, I don't know how to pick locks so don't ask. Even you're from Florida.)

Well, if I can remember more questions, I'll ask to you here.

To compensate your time, you can ask things about spanish culture or the language itself. :D

Thanks, guys!

    I was confused about the first point as well, but as for the Dairy Farm, there they use the cows and other animals byproducts to make, well, Dairy, like milk, chesse, etc; instead of using the animals for meat.

    1. In this context, Lee meant to say that Lily was "fine" in that Lee liked her, not necessarily that he thought her attractive. Larry was angry because Lee's tone didn't make him sound sincere.

    2. A dairy farm's main purpose is to raise cows for their milk in order to make dairy products (milk, butter, etc.), rather than for their meat like a ranch. A "normal" farm's main purpose is usually to grow crops and vegetables (grain, carrots, lettuce, etc.).

    3. I know you didn't ask this, and maybe you already understood, but Lee was angry because the term "urban" meant "black" in this context, which is a racist insinuation.

    Thank you for your answers!

    I didn't know that "urban" would be a racist word in any context. There are a lot and I didn't even know. I need to be careful when I speak in the US then. :o
