August 20, 201412 yr Do you mow the yard? Mow the lawn? Cut the grass? Etc. At noon, do you eat lunch or dinner? In the evening, do you eat supper or dinner? Does the rear of a car have a boot or trunk? Do you drink pop or soda? (If any) Others welcome. I think you know my response. :lol2: I don't "take" a :poop:, I "leave" a :poop:.
August 20, 201412 yr Mow Lunch Dinner I'm 39 years old and have never heard anyone call it a boot. Who says that? I don't really drink soft drinks but normally call them by their brand name or soft drinks if speaking in general terms. I think the kind of people who take their tea at three.
August 20, 201412 yr Cut the grass. Lunch and dinner. Pop. Although years ago, it was a soda pop. Trunk.
August 20, 201412 yr My ex MIL used to say she had to go to the john. I always thought that sounded so unladylike. Women don't go to the john.
August 20, 201412 yr Bathroom, restroom, john, commode, water closet, toilet, or head? Depends on what im using it for.
August 20, 201412 yr My ex MIL used to say she had to go to the john. I always thought that sounded so unladylike. Women don't go to the john. That's usually the term that I use - unless I'm on a jobsite, in which case I generally refer to it as "the blue house". Interesting though, what you're saying about "john". I never thought of it as being more male than female...but now that I think about it, I can certainly see why you would see it that way.
August 20, 201412 yr Bathroom, restroom, john, commode, water closet, toilet, or head? I sometimes throw an Archie Bunker in there and call it the tur-lit.
August 20, 201412 yr My ex MIL used to say she had to go to the john. I always thought that sounded so unladylike. Women don't go to the john. They do if they're gettin' paid. Oh....wait...
August 21, 201412 yr Cut the grass Lunch Dinner Trunk (is the other a real thing?) Around the house I'll drink a Coke (generic term for pop/soda/etc.). when out I'll ask what kind of soft drinks are available.
August 21, 201412 yr Trunk (is the other a real thing?) The term "boot" being used for a car trunk is originally a British thing. Wierd? Yes. But of course, that's the same place where they call a car's hood the "bonnet", a car's convertible top a "hood", a sausage a "banger", a cookie a "biscuit", a yard a "garden", a truck a "lorrie", a baby stroller a "pram", a sweater a "jumper", a scarf a "muffler", underwear "pants", pants "trousers", liquor "spirits", and where the first floor is the first floor up the steps from the ground floor.
August 22, 201412 yr When I'm at my girlfriends parents house on the farm we have dinner as the second meal of the day and supper in the evening. At home, we have lunch then dinner. I could and have had dinner twice in one day. I never had supper until I visited my girlfriends parents house for the first time. I find that many country folk substitute the word ' yet' for 'still.' A feasible sentence describing a chore that someone needs to do may be "I have to sweep the floor yet" That make sense? I casually drink a pop. At a restaurant I am interested in what kind of soft drinks they have. I have no idea what a soda is. Like baking soda?
