Part of the cultural adjustment here is learning different words for the same objects back in the States. Several years ago I posted a list of these linguistic jewels and I thought it might be time for a refresher course.
What is/are . . .
a cooker?
a recovery truck?
a trolley?
a dustbin?
a vacuum tanker?
a puncture?
a flyover?
a queue?
a mixer?
wires?
a torch?
serviettes?
a car park?
plasters?
a hosepipe?
a tipper truck?
pants?
lay by?
Answers~
stove
tow truck
shopping cart
trash can
septic system collection truck
flat tire
overpass
line of people waiting
faucet
clothes hangers
flashlight
napkins
parking lot
bandaids
water hose
dump truck
underwear
rest stop
How did you do?
