Same Thing, Different Names
1. Kleenex or tissue? Tissue. I used to say Kleenex, but 5 years with Gusto changed that long ago!
2. Soda or pop (or tonic or whatever)? Soda, although most people here say, "Pop."
3. A sandwich on a long roll: sub or hero (or hoagie or grinder, etc)? Sub.
4. Glasses or spectacles? Glasses.
5. TV or television (or boob-tube, or telly, for our friends across the pond)? Telebitchin' or TV.
6. Movie or film? Movie. Film is for antiquated cameras, like 35mm.
7. Sofa or couch? Couch.
8. Stove or range? Stove. The "range" is where my husband shoots his gun.
9. Remote control or clicker? Neither. I call it, "That Damn Thing" because it is usually a mad search to find either of them. We could use an alarm, but then again, we have so many remotes, including 3 for our couch and recliner, that it would be a moot effort.
10. Supermarket or grocery store? Neither. I tend to use the store's name, which lets everyone in on which direction I am going. If I have a few places to hit, like WalMart and Meijer and Kroger, etc. I just simply say, "The Store."
