Different names for the same object

Post by **Melana** » Sun Jul 11, 2004 12:54 am

every country seems to have a different name for different things... and that's excluding the whole different lanuage thing

Toasted sandwiches for instance - toasties, jaffles, hot pockets etc.

Juice boxes - Prima's, puffa's, tetrapacks

Thongs (of the shoe variety) - Flipflops

So what is an odd name someone has called something you know?

Also just wierd names for things in general... the other day I was laughing because one of my eyeshadows is called "Centrefold" and another is called "door bitch".

If I owned a cosmestic company i'd give my stuff fucked up names like that.
