[Nfb-krafters-korner] the different way things are called.

[Henry Osborne]

Hi Catherine,
That reminds me of when I was going to college,I was waiting for the 
elevator,and a girl from England came up to me,and asked if I was waiting 
for a lift. I thanked her,and said that I had my car,but,if she needed a 
lift I'd be glad to give her one. She said that she had her laurie,I thought 
she meant that her name was Laurie,so I said that I was Henry,we both 
laughed,as she explained that a lift was the English way of saying 
elevator,and a laurie was her truck.
I sure learned some thing that day.
Let's share some other terms off list,if you have the time. I find the 
different ways that Australians,British,and Americans talk very interesting.
By the way,I have Cousins somewhere in Australia.
Hope to chat with you more later.
Henry

Hi All,

I so love the way things have different names in other countries.

I had a friend that went to the states.  She was on a bus tour on one of
there stops Audrey said to the bus driver can you tell me where I can buy a
sloppy joe.

The driver pointed to a door and said in there you will be able to get one.

So off she went and all she saw was food shops.

Back to the bus Audrey went and said to the driver there are only food shops
in there.  He scratched his head and said that is right that is where you
will get one.

I will tell you now the weather got a little cool so that is why she wanted
a sloppy joe.

Now in Australia a sloppy joe is a sweater that is not made of wool it is
made out of fleasy lined material  . But the driver was right by saying that
she could buy a sloppy joe in the food hall but Audrey wanted to get warm
with a sloppy joe which you ware over here lol.

I thought you may like to have a laugh.

Hugs Catherine.
