2. Teeter-totter
3. Skunk (see below)
4. Boots? (we ain't got those here!)
5. Farmer's Market

I was on a cross country trip. We ran out of gas. Another woman and I decided to hike down to a gas station we could see from the freeway. One of the guys -- from the south -- is yelling "watch out for the polecat!" The other woman is hauling ass the other direction, and I'm standing there like a dork thinking "what the heck is a polecat?" Thank gawd I didn't get sprayed, but oh goodness, did they tease me about that for about the next dozen years! I now understand that the critter that *I* call a skunk is also called polecat!

This was fun! I liked reading all your comments about the taste value of cottage cheese or, as Lum called it, “quark.” Now she and I have discussed this before and I have forgotten the distinction. Anyway, loved the “college cheese” response from Cathie’s nieces. Cottage cheese is known as pot cheese, just as HP said. It is also known as Dutch cheese, smearcase (ewww), farmer’s cheese and, of course, let’s not forget curds and whey. So RG wasn’t so far off with her suggestion after all. And there are others, but I’ve lost my list.

Speaking of others—such a lovely lot of choices to call your rubbers the next time you use them!

Yes, a skunk is also known as a pole cat and, I’m not joking here, a woodpussy.

With regard to see-saws and teeter-totters, there are a few names that didn’t show up such as teedleboard, teeterboard, tilting board, dandleboard, and dangleboard. Perhaps that is why Julieboo asked or was that a demand... “Tell me where you can find one of these anymore.”

Coming in to the home stretch for me. Here are today’s selections for What Do You Call...it?

oatmealporridge What do you call this breakfast cereal?

inchwormlooper What do you call this insect that hitches itself along?

lockercloset What do you call this storage space for personal items located in school hallways and gyms?

catcorkitcor What do you call anything that is diagonal from the starting point? For example, in the photo one house is at a diagonal from the one in the foreground.

outdoorfaucet What do you call this outdoor source of water supply attached to the house?
