I read Scott's post and was like - uhhh What? Then I checked the article.. then oh yeah this is the BBC, so it's probably like the word pissed so I googled it to make sure. yup..

OK all good now.

I thought that it was pretty standard. I didn't put the term in, though, that was the BBC.

yeah I thought it was you, then looked at the article.. nope.. not Scott - seriously never heard row used that way.

I read the title like "Hawaiian Airlines plane diverted over Blanket Row (as if Blanket Row was some part of some city)" I was thinking - where the hell is Blanket Row, and why is it called that?

Seems like more likely it would be a row of seats replaced with blankets and they were fighting over who got to fly in the blanket forts vs. in the normal seats.

LOL - truly I did actually think that at first, but that was absurd and instantly dismissed.

I'd have a row to be in that row myself!
