I'm forever in your debt, you give me so much more than I am worthy of. *thinks to self, "what IS a paperclip, I've heard of them before..." but tries not to look stupid by showing the lack of knowledge about the gift*
*thinks, "... maybe the custom when recieving this gift is to EAT it... maybe he's expecting me to and it would show disrespect not to!"*
*nervously questioningly puts paperclip in mouth and chews noting your strange reaction*

im sorry...i shouldnt have assumed you knew what a paperclip was...i never once considered that maybe they dont have paperclips in tuvalu...
they're little bent metal wires that we americans use to hold multiple papers together...heres a picture:
paperclips they may seem worthless...but a special engraved paper clip is actually one of the most prestigious prizes you can recieve in america
