Other than that, we are in agreement. ^_^ Oh, also, what do you call the things you use to put your hair in a ponytail? I say "hair elastic" but apparently that's weird...

Date: 2008-04-12 12:13 am (UTC)5. Couch/sofa.
8. Juice, unless referring to a specific drink.
10. Deffinately not a sandwich, since it's not even made with bread! I guess the closest is a roll (though, more a baguette than a roll, but a baguette is a roll...).
12. Trainers. (Or, for those under, like, 12 - that's when we start high school here - gym shoes, with are basically just rubber soles and this weird semi-hard elastic material. Once we hit high school, gym shoes tend to get phased out for trainers.)
14. Firefly. But we don't get them here.
15. Umm... don't think we get these either. Though Wood Lice (singular, wood louse, in case you not know) are kinda similar in appearance (maybe they are the same? I dunno.)
17. Point first, no folding. Unless at restaraunt, then with knife and fork. Unless it's an oblong-shaped mini-pizza, in which case I cut in half then start from the left hand corner on the cut side.
18. Umm, car-boot-sale, I think, despite it being done in your garden. Unless it's a real car-boot-sale, which is basically a giant gathering of people who stuff their cars full of stuff and a table then go somewhere, set up the table, stick everything on it, and then try to hawk it to the people browsing.
20. ...furnace? You mean the hot-water heater/central heating system? That's in the back lobby cupboard. The only thing underneath our house is pipes and drafty air (no carpetting/lino/whatever in the kitchen... god the drafts).
21. Fountain. I think only the local high school has one. I think. But I haven't been in 4 years, so who knows.
22. Over there. That way (pointing). In the corner (if there is an actual corner).
23. The tap.

Rubber bands but my friend called them scrunchies one time which made me confused. To me rubber bands are the small thin ones and scrunchies are the things that are big and poofy, you can tie your hair with them but you can also put it over a rubber band. Also, I can't remember it exactly, but a regional thing is you call it ice tea in one place and in another you say iced coffee or something like that.
