rashore Posted December 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2019 We have an international forum with a lot of terms for things depending on where you live. Here's a thread to share about it Game is one example of a thing that can have different words where you live.. please don't give lists of many things. The next person to reply needs to say what the word is for where they live and then give another example. Game play like this... Person 1: Tennis shoes or sneakers? Person 2: sneakers. Chips or fries? Person 3: chips... and so on. You can give more than two choices, but it has to be about the same object. So I'll kick off with my first example... Tennis shoes, tennies, sneakers, or other? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sorry about that. We were posting at the same time and it was messing up the replies, I thought if I removed my post it would put things back on track. At the time though I didn't see you'd already replied to the post I removed. 4 hours ago, eight bits said: Believe or not, soda pop. Boot or trunk?

rashore Posted December 12, 2019 Author #21 Share Posted December 12, 2019 On 12/10/2019 at 4:56 PM, Overdueleaf said: flip flops white trash or rudder I'm not quite sure what rudder means in this context, and please don't explain. White trash around here is derogatory enough that it should be left out of this thread please. So will qualify that I know the term white trash more than rudder. Football or Soccer? To describe the game where the round ball is kicked, not the game where the ovoid ball is usually held and occasionally kicked. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
