Kitt, are you the only Brit we have onboard? I have been very interested in your comments because, while I knew that there is a kitty-corner/catty-corner debate, I had not realized that the terms were North American ones.

An inchworm is also known as a “looper” and an outdoor faucet is also known as a “sillcock.” When my dad replaced mine, he used that term and I thought he was being obscene. Lastly, a locker is called a “closet” in some locales.

Today’s What Do You Call...it?

beach/shore What do you call the sandy place beside the sea?

suitcase/valise What do you call this storage item for travel?

stiltsjohnnywalkers What is this gal walking on that makes her taller?

wishbonepullyboneluckybone What do you call this prize from the turkey/chicken that all children fight over because whoever gets the largest part gets whatever s/he hoped for?

waitingonin What term do you use instead of “queued” for what these folks are doing?

Depends on how I'm saying it...generally 99% of the time I say beach but I may say "shore" now and then.

Suitcase

Stilts

Wishbone

Standing in line, or waiting in line. And wow, that's a long line. i hope whatever they're waiting for in the picture is worth it!
