The world needs the word folk like I need a hole in my head.

I bit into a pear and my teeth clashed.  Now I think it's done something to the tooth - it hurts to drink cold water or open my mouth outside

I chipped off the tip of one of my incisors biting into a slice of pizza like that.

In what context? People say folks in America all the time.

As in the formulation, "One folk, one country, one leader."

Ney, Britain.
Was watching a documentary about George Formby and it showed some old interviews with him where he used the word folk in the sort of way you just don't hear it these days ("Of course some old folk"...)
People has just replaced folk wholesale these days except when folk is used to mean quaint old timey stuff (i.e. music, festival, etc...)

Yeah, I'm all booked for fire starting.  The Mind-Spiders have me working like hell these days.

"Folk" isn't the problem.  "Volk" usually has been.

I was just paraphrasing a song.

Went down to the bar after coming back from Okie's with my folks, an awesome Japanese restaurant. They cook on an habachi grill right in front of you, the food's expensive but the drinks are cheep.

At the bar they had the usual old guy rock band, manned by men in their late 40s to late 50s. They were serviceably good but nothing special. Then during their break a quartet of young guys who happened to be at the bar got permission to play. A couple of these guys were such stereotypical looking hipster douchebags it was all I could do to keep myself from punching their faces into paste.

Then they stared to play...it was like I was being flayed alive and purified by the power of their rock. They played obscure favorite of mine after obscure favorite and just destroyed it.

Jesus Christ...tie me to a whipping post...it was just incredible.
