<Dad, asking jokingly> "What are you going to give up for Lent?"

...The fuck is "Lent"? I've never heard of this until just now

It's a period of fasting/sacrifice between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. I'm not sure if only Catholics/people from Catholic-related denominations celebrate it or if all Christians do... an ignorance I blame on being mostly irreligious myself and coming from a state where less than 50% of people are religious also.

Must be a Catholic thing. My family is Baptist, and I've never heard of this before

[Chocofreak13]

yeah, lent is a catholic thing. my grandparents used to try to encourage me to participate in lent, and i think when i was little i tried one year, but i wasn't raised with any sort of religion so it didn't stick. these days i only celebrate religious holidays in the commercial sense, like easter for candy, eggs, and rabbits. :\
