So some of the everyday vocabulary I am accustomed to using is just a tad bit different here. And sometimes when different words are used, I perceive a different version of the story...
For example, today Ian was telling me about how he played with a cat while visiting his friend's house...
...While I would call a cat by saying "Here kitty, kitty", Ian simply says "Come".
...And whereas I say "cat", Ian says "pussy".
Heh.
So the whole time Ian tells me these (like) stories, it takes my all to suppress the urge to say "That's what He/She said!"
(Actually, one time, I did say "That's what she said!" and was met with total confusion. "What? Who said what?")
Oh, and did I mention they call roosters "cocks". And yes, I have heard more than one reference to a rooster since I've been here. ...Truth be told, I've heard more than one reference to one today!
