I say purse;pocket book really confuses me because I think of the check book sized wallet or writslet when someone says that, and most of my purses wouldn't come close to fitting in my pocket.

I just started a new job that says "called out" sick... which I found odd.

'cut out the lights" I've heard... but I think it's odd.


When I went to New York to be a counselor the children made fun of me for calling all athletic shoes "tennis" shoes instead of "sneakers" like they did.
