Susan and I spend a lot of time talking about business on the podcast. This week, we put all that aside and found out how many ways two people can confuse each other while speaking English.

What would you call it?

We looked at pictures of everyday things and took turns saying what we’d call them. There were toques, sneakers, pencil crayons and chicken burgers. It’s funny how certain you can be that everyone calls something by the same name until someone across the border looks at you like you made it up.

Then we got to the snacks

Somehow we made our way to bagged milk, ketchup chips and Smarties. If you’ve ever tried to explain why Smarties need a little more context in a conversation between a Canadian and an American, this part is for you.

Grab a coffee and play along. If you’re watching, you’ll be able to see the pictures we’re reacting to and decide what you’d call each one.

Susan Larimer (00:00)

This is just a fun episode. So I hope you enjoy it as much as we’re going to, which I know we’re going to.

Welcome back to another episode of the Other 99% Podcast, where each week we bring you practical tips, honest conversations, and real stories to help you build a business that you truly love. So come on in, grab a coffee, get comfy, and let’s chat.

Lisa Duck (00:25)

Hey everyone, it is me, Lisa, and welcome back to another episode of the other 99%. I’m here with our co-host Susan Larimer, and we have something a little fun for you today. We we decided that after weeks of email marketing and weeks of customer talking about customers, we would put a little giggle into your day. And I I I think this is gonna be funny because, and I’m just

gonna say,

If you could watch this on YouTube, I would highly recommend jumping onto YouTube and watching this because we’re gonna be showing some pictures and to get the full experience, you’re still gonna get a chuckle if you listen on Spotify and Apple, but to get the full experience, YouTube is the place to be. Um, but today we’re gonna be telling you the differences between Susan and I through pictures. So just it’s it sounds funny, but you’ll you’ll get what we mean.

Susan Larimer (01:18)

Mm.

Lisa Duck (01:19)

Um, so just a little bit about me. If you don’t know um much about me, I’m Lisa Duck. I am from uh a town probably about 45 minutes away from big downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. and I was basically I was born and raised in Toronto. I like I haven’t really moved, so I’ve I’ve moved maybe an hour away from my birthplace in my entire lifetime.

And so am a Canadian and yeah, apparently we say things funny. So that’s how this came about. So Susan, tell them a little bit about you and where you are.

Susan Larimer (01:58)

Yeah, and I don’t think, you know, you don’t think about what other people say because you’re like, this is normal. Whatever my I say and my people say, that’s normal. But as Lisa and I are working together, you know, sometimes we come across words and I’m like, what? What does that even mean? So we thought it would be fun. You know, she’s from Canada. I am originally from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, known as the Christmas City. Um, lived in Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio, for 17 years.

Spent a year in Mexico, in La Paz, Mexico, and now our family has been living in New Jersey for the last four years. and it’s interesting because even from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey, there are different words being used. And we’re

Lisa Duck (02:43)

yeah.

Susan Larimer (02:43)

all like within, you know, a little tri-state area except for Ohio’s Midwest. Um, but but we thought it would be fun and we went to ChatGPT and we said,

Okay, give us some pictures of words that Canadians and Americans say very differently. We said, don’t

Lisa Duck (03:02)

Yeah.

Susan Larimer (03:03)

tell us the words, because we didn’t want to be like influenced or see ahead of time. So this is very raw. Um, what I’m gonna do is show, yeah.

Lisa Duck (03:12)

Even looked at the pictures yet, so I don’t even know what’s coming. And

I just want to say, I might be influenced because I talk to a lot of Americans every day.

Susan Larimer (03:20)

Right.

Lisa Duck (03:21)

So I might not be your true, like you know, Canadian. That doing this with my son, you probably would get a totally different response. But I’m just gonna be me, I’m gonna say the first thing that pops to my head, and like I said, I haven’t even seen these pictures, so I don’t know what’s coming.

Susan Larimer (03:36)

Yeah.

And the fun thing about this is we could not prepare and like, you know, do research on this topic. Like this was just like a we came up with the idea yesterday, got some pictures, and we’re like, okay, that’s it. Like we’re just gonna I’m very casual today. This is just a fun episode. So I hope you enjoy it as much as we’re going to, which I know we’re going to.

Lisa Duck (03:57)

Ha ha.

Susan Larimer (03:57)

All right, so Lisa, are you ready for the per first picture?

Lisa Duck (04:00)

Think so.

Susan Larimer (04:01)

Okay, so Lisa’s gonna say what they call it in

Um, Canada first and then I will say what we call it in the United States, at least in New Jersey. Okay, here’s our first picture.

Lisa Duck (04:12)

So that’s a two.

Susan Larimer (04:13)

Okay, so in America we call this like a knit hat or a winter hat.

Lisa Duck (04:18)

That’s so that’s so like long a knit hat, a winter hat. That’s that’s like a a toque. You put the toque on your head That’s a pom pom. Okay.

Susan Larimer (04:25)

What do you call the thing on top? Okay, that’s a pom pom. Okay, good.

We can agree on pom pom.

Lisa Duck (04:33)

My son actually has a different word, so it would be funny to have him here. We should we should have done this with the family. That that would have been even fun.

Susan Larimer (04:39)

Yes.

Lisa Duck (04:40)

Maybe we’ll have to do a version two, but yeah, this would this would be funny. And this came about because

Susan Larimer (04:44)

The sons.

Lisa Duck (04:45)

my my son always says, like, he listens to me when I’m on these calls and he gets off. He goes, Do your friends even know what you’re talking about? Like, they don’t know that word. I’m like, What do you mean they don’t know that word? And then I’ll message Susan, Do you know what this means? She goes, No, and I’m like, Okay.

Susan Larimer (05:02)

Like a foreign language. Okay, are you ready for the next one? Okay.

Lisa Duck (05:05)

Those I call runners.

Susan Larimer (05:07)

Okay, we call sneakers. Or running shoes.

Lisa Duck (05:11)

Runners.

Susan Larimer (05:12)

Yeah, okay. Runners, never heard of that.

All right, here comes our next one.

Lisa Duck (05:17)

That’s like pop.

Susan Larimer (05:18)

Pop and we called it pop in the Midwest, but here we call it soda. Or specifically like Coke, Dr. Pepper. Like whatever it is. But I guess soda.

Lisa Duck (05:28)

and y up

here, I don’t know, is it the same down there? But if you want a Coke, you and somebody says is Pepsi okay, you’re like, No, I wanted a Coke. Like, don’t give me a Pepsi.

Susan Larimer (05:36)

Oh yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So like when we go to restaurants, they’ll say, um, you know, we have coke products or we have Pepsi products. But interesting thing, when our family loves cherry cherry coke or cherry Pepsi. And when we

Lisa Duck (05:50)

Okay.

Susan Larimer (05:50)

went on vacation to the Outer Banks, we were at a restaurant and we’re like, Do you have cherry coke? And the guy’s like, No. And I’m like, Well, it there’s a bar here, like, can you put grenadine in it? And he’s like, That sounds amazing. And I’m like

Are you serious? He’s like, Do you have those in your like soda machines? We’re like, Yeah, we do.

Lisa Duck (06:10)

Soda machines.

Yeah.

Susan Larimer (06:13)

See.

Lisa Duck (06:13)

And then I saying,

Susan Larimer (06:14)

A pop machine.

Lisa Duck (06:15)

so this, like, I grew up, so my parents, they always used to buy no name pop, like not coke, not Pepsi. And in our house, and I don’t know how many other people say, it’s like pseudopop. And I could not drink pseudopop. Pseudopop like tastes disgusting. It’s like

It’s not Coke, it’s not Pepsi, it’s pseudo, it’s like fake pop. So it’s

Susan Larimer (06:43)

Yeah.

Lisa Duck (06:44)

like that’s that’s what I would ask. As long as it’s not pseudo pop, I’m I’m good with Coke or Pepsi. Um, but yeah.

Susan Larimer (06:51)

Yeah, and if you said that to me,

I’d be like, I don’t know what pseudopop is. We call it like generic or off-brand.

Lisa Duck (06:58)

You guys you guys put too much effort into things, pseudo or generic?

Susan Larimer (07:04)

Okay.

Okay, here’s our next one.

Lisa Duck (07:07)

Susan Larimer (07:25)

Then I was like, Well you’re not just washing.

So

Lisa Duck (11:49)

Okay. I don’t know what else it would be. I’m like, I’m just trying to think of other things. Trash can? Trash can? Yeah. That’s

why I said I’m like, I’m looking at some pictures yesterday. I’m like, how could these be different? So

Susan Larimer (12:06)

Yeah. Well and there’s

one animal coming up and I’m like, we can’t change the name of an animal.

Lisa Duck (12:10)

Well, and then if it doesn’t come up,

I’m gonna ask you a question about something at the end and see what you say, but w I’ll wait to see if it comes up.

Susan Larimer (12:15)

Okay.

Okay, now this is kind of like a I don’t know, this reminds me of like the eighties, but can you tell what that is?

Lisa Duck (12:23)

An ATM.

Susan Larimer (12:23)

Yeah. ATM machine? Yeah. Yeah.

Lisa Duck (12:25)

Yeah, cash machine, ATM, sure.

Susan Larimer (12:28)

Okay. Here’s a food.

Lisa Duck (12:29)

But again, I might be influenced too, because it was funny because I had

Susan Larimer (12:33)

Yeah.

Lisa Duck (12:33)

a conversation with someone today or yesterday, and there was a Canadian who was responding to them and told them to you could send an e-transfer. And then this went to an American and they’re like, um, do you know what an e-transfer is? And I’m like, Yeah, that’s how we send our money. Like,

Susan Larimer (12:55)

Like

PayPal or Venmo or something?

Lisa Duck (12:57)

Well, I go to my bank, my bank app, and I put your email

Susan Larimer (13:00)

Yeah.

Lisa Duck (13:01)

in and I send you an e transfer, an electronic transfer of the money.

So it goes right from in my bank to your bank. I don’t have to go through a separate like PayPal or Vim Venmo or

Susan Larimer (13:14)

Through

an email?

Lisa Duck (13:16)

It goes through or text. Text or email. Yeah. But it’s an easy way. There’s no we don’t pay for it. There’s no

Susan Larimer (13:18)

Really? Okay, I don’t think we have that. Yeah.

Lisa Duck (13:24)

fees or anything and it’s just bank to bank. So it’s an e transfer. Yeah.

Susan Larimer (13:28)

Um

interesting. All right, here’s a food.

Lisa Duck (13:32)

Getty? Yeah. I don’t know.

Susan Larimer (13:34)

Yeah. Okay. Spaghetti.

Lisa Duck (13:39)

I’m expecting there’s something we’re missing in these pictures. They they must be.

Susan Larimer (13:43)

Maybe.

Lisa Duck (13:43)

What are we looking at? Like the flowers or the vase or the

Susan Larimer (13:47)

I I don’t I would call it like a bouquet of flowers.

Lisa Duck (13:50)

Yeah, I I would just probably just say flowers. I wouldn’t put

Susan Larimer (13:53)

Okay.

Lisa Duck (13:53)

the bouquet, but flowers.

Susan Larimer (13:55)

Okay.

All right. This is part of your house.

Lisa Duck (13:57)

Garage?

Susan Larimer (13:58)

Yeah.

Alright, I th

Lisa Duck (14:00)

Maybe they’re thinking car park there, I don’t know.

Susan Larimer (14:03)

I think this is what they’re doing. Yeah. Or using.

Lisa Duck (14:08)

Scissors?

Susan Larimer (14:09)

Yeah. Okay. Cutting on the

Lisa Duck (14:12)

Died lane.

Susan Larimer (14:14)

I don’t know what they’re getting at. Like I said, we couldn’t practice these ahead of time because we didn’t want to spoil what the other word was.

Lisa Duck (14:24)

So I

exactly so when if you guys are listening to this and you’re playing along, if you have a different word for what we’re saying,

Susan Larimer (14:32)

Yes.

Lisa Duck (14:33)

we’d love to hear about it. Yeah. ‘Cause this is I think this

Susan Larimer (14:35)

Yes, yes.

Lisa Duck (14:36)

is funny.

Susan Larimer (14:37)

All right.

Lisa Duck (14:37)

Map.

Susan Larimer (14:37)

Yeah.

Lisa Duck (14:38)

Okay.

Susan Larimer (14:39)

Map.

Lisa Duck (14:39)

Nothing special about the map?

Susan Larimer (14:40)

Okay, this is the one that I’m like, what else would you call?

Lisa Duck (14:42)

Are we gonna do the Lake Ontario, the Lake America?

Susan Larimer (14:46)

gosh. No, we are not.

Lisa Duck (14:48)

Let’s not.

Susan Larimer (14:49)

We’re not gonna go there.

All right.

Lisa Duck (14:53)

Zebra?

Susan Larimer (14:53)

Yeah. I don’t know why this one came up.

Lisa Duck (14:56)

Did you expect me

to say Zed bro?

Susan Larimer (14:58)

No.

Okay, now you have to say why you said that.

Lisa Duck (15:02)

No, it’s like the it’s A B C D E F G H I it’s Z. You end it with

Susan Larimer (15:07)

Yeah.

Lisa Duck (15:07)

the letter Z.

Susan Larimer (15:09)

So when you go through the alphabet, like you actually say Z at the end?

Lisa Duck (15:13)

Mm-hmm. ‘Cause that’s the letter Zed.

Susan Larimer (15:14)

Are there any other letters

you say differently? We might

Lisa Duck (15:17)

Don’t think so.

Susan Larimer (15:18)

need to go through the whole alphabet.

Lisa Duck (15:20)

think so but I we only came across well I mean it’s a known thing but I mean I said something like oh it was hit Command Z and you’re like what and I’m like

Susan Larimer (15:29)

Yeah. I’m like looking

for Zed on my keyboard. Like I don’t have anything that says Zed.

Lisa Duck (15:34)

I’m like I’m like

Z the the the like the Z right by the A and you’re

Susan Larimer (15:40)

Yeah.

Lisa Duck (15:40)

Z and I’m like okay Z

Susan Larimer (15:46)

You use all like normal letters and then at the end you you go Greek or whatever it is.

Lisa Duck (15:52)

Know where it came from. I don’t know why

Susan Larimer (15:54)

Mm.

Lisa Duck (15:54)

we do things. This is just how we were taught.

Susan Larimer (15:56)

All right. Let’s try this one.

Lisa Duck (15:58)

But I think

Susan Larimer (16:00)

Yeah. I’ve heard pecan

or pecan. I think

Lisa Duck (16:03)

That might be

maybe do you know butter tarts?

Susan Larimer (16:08)

no.

Lisa Duck (16:08)

Butter Tarts is just a basically a pecan pie without so many pecans.

Susan Larimer (16:13)

Okay.

Lisa Duck (16:13)

That’s probably what they’re going for. Because I know you guys don’t know butter tarts, because when Epicure brought

Susan Larimer (16:16)

But there I could I didn’t know if it was No.

Lisa Duck (16:20)

out Butter Tarts, True North Butter Tarts, the Americans were like, No, it was because it was delicious,

Susan Larimer (16:23)

Wasn’t a big seller.

Lisa Duck (16:26)

but the the Americans are like, What is this? So we had to say it’s

Susan Larimer (16:29)

Yeah.

Lisa Duck (16:29)

pecan pie. Like

Susan Larimer (16:31)

Interesting.

And this could be a difference between pecan and pecan.

Lisa Duck (16:36)

Yeah, no, I would say pecan. Yeah.

Susan Larimer (16:38)

Yeah. I think I say

pecan. I used to say pecan and then when I worked at the nursing homes, one of the residents yelled at me, like, It’s not a pecan. It’s pecan. So

Lisa Duck (16:48)

Pecan.

I couldn’t imagine saying pecan. Pecan?

Susan Larimer (16:51)

Pecan, pecan.

Pecan. Pecan. Okay.

Lisa Duck (16:55)

Shifter? Gear? What is it? Like

Susan Larimer (16:58)

I don’t know if they’re looking for like I would say a lever.

Lisa Duck (17:01)

Okay, I would say probably say lever. Lever, lever, yeah. Okay.

Susan Larimer (17:02)

Or someone says lever. I think that’s what they’re looking for. Yeah.

Um and I’m not okay, I’m not sure about this one.

Lisa Duck (17:09)

A decal.

Susan Larimer (17:10)

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay,

they’re probably saying Deckel Deckel. I’ve heard it called that before. Deckel. Yeah.

Susan Larimer (17:14)

Oh really? I’ve never heard that.

Okay. Um, and I I think I know what they’re saying here.

Lisa Duck (17:21)

Well, there’s some the some words that I think the older people say too, because my mother-in-law, she’ll she’ll actually say instead of going for a massage, she

Susan Larimer (24:08)

Mm.

Lisa Duck (24:08)

says she’s going to get a massage. And it drives me nuts. And it’s like, it’s massage. Massage. She is hard of hearing

Susan Larimer (24:12)

oh interesting. A massage? Like a J massage.

Lisa Duck (24:20)

though, so it could be like her, uh that’s what I think. I’m like, but

Susan Larimer (24:23)

Yes.

Lisa Duck (24:24)

like, no, it’s massage.

Só já, já, já.

Susan Larimer (24:26)

Yeah. Zhu. Alright,

what is this lady doing?

Lisa Duck (24:31)

Relaxing.

Susan Larimer (24:33)

Yeah, she is relaxing. Yeah.

Lisa Duck (24:35)

Or lounging.

Susan Larimer (24:37)

Oh, okay. We should have

Lisa Duck (24:40)

Mm-hmm.

Susan Larimer (24:41)

um we should have gone to get these because we did talk about this yesterday.

Lisa Duck (24:45)

I yes, and I didn’t buy one. I I

Susan Larimer (24:48)

Oh okay, okay.

Lisa Duck (24:50)

was gonna buy one, but well that that’s that’s a carton, but it’s not I know where you’re going. Yeah, so

Susan Larimer (24:55)

Yeah. So tell us about your milk.

Lisa Duck (24:58)

so our milk comes in a bag. Comes in a bag. So it’s like you get so we get four liter bags of milk. Let me see if I can find it.

Um, four liters uh in a bag, and it comes, yes, of course it is.

Susan Larimer (25:14)

Is your milk pasteurized? Okay, alright.

No, if they like squeezed it right from the udder into a bag and

Lisa Duck (25:21)

No,

no. So this is, can you see, like our our milk? Can you see it? Like that’s our milk that we buy. That’s two percent pasteurized milk. And

Susan Larimer (25:30)

Yeah. Okay.

Lisa Duck (25:32)

then inside there, inside there are three bags of milk. So this is four liters, I think. Do you guys have liters? Like, I don’t know. Do you guys that is that how you measure stuff?

Susan Larimer (25:43)

We have g gallons and half gallons.

Lisa Duck (25:45)

Yeah, so.

I don’t know what that is in gallons. There’s four liters.

Susan Larimer (25:48)

Yeah.

Lisa Duck (25:49)

But anyway, so inside there, there’s three bags of milk. You take out the bag

Susan Larimer (25:53)

Okay.

Lisa Duck (25:54)

of milk, and then you have a a milk container, which is like just an open container with a handle. And you put your bag of milk inside the container. You don’t pour it. You don’t cut it open and pour it because that would be gross. Your milk would be out there in the air.

So you you put the bag in and then you just snip off the tiny little end so that when you pour it, it doesn’t spill everywhere. But you just pour it where it needs to go and then you flip it back in and you put it back in the fridge. And usually that you have like a a milk cutter, like it’s this little thing with a cutter and you cut the end of the thing and then you clip it on side of the milk container.

Susan Larimer (26:34)

And that how do you close it? How do you close it?

Lisa Duck (26:37)

You don’t close it, you just put it in the fridge. It’s only a little tiny hole.

Susan Larimer (26:41)

Okay.

So in America

Lisa Duck (26:42)

I think there’s only

I think I don’t know what exactly, but I think there’s only two or three provinces that have bagged milk. The rest of them have like containers and stuff. A a jug.

Susan Larimer (26:53)

Like a jug like we have.

Lisa Duck (26:56)

We get jugs. I think the only place we can get jugs, but I could be wrong about this. It’s just I never buy it. Is like Max Milk, like the convenience store. Do you have can

Susan Larimer (27:06)

Mm.

Lisa Duck (27:07)

you that’s a word? Convenience store down there.

Susan Larimer (27:10)

Yeah, yeah. Like a quickie mart. Yeah. Yeah.

Lisa Duck (27:10)

Yeah, yeah. So it’s like our corner store. Corner store. But

yeah, so you go, but then you it’s the hassle because now you have this big jug that you gotta store and then you have to remember to take back with you to get your your deposit.

Susan Larimer (27:27)

No. No. No.

Lisa Duck (27:27)

D’ you don’t deposit? What do you do with them?

Susan Larimer (27:30)

We recycle them. So every week, every other week.

Lisa Duck (27:31)

No, we have to take them back to the store.

Susan Larimer (27:34)

Yeah, so we have our milk in a big jug. You can get a half gallon, you can get a gallon.

Lisa Duck (27:39)

Mm.

Susan Larimer (27:39)

And then, you know, it has a lid, so every time you want it, you open the lid, pour it out, put the lid back on. Cause I’m just thinking if I have like fish in the fridge, wouldn’t that like smell up your milk? Like if it were opened? Anyway.

Lisa Duck (27:52)

your milk

sitting in the fridge. I guess we drink maybe more milk than you guys do because your milk doesn’t last long. Like if we buy milk, it’s gone in like three days usually.

Susan Larimer (28:03)

Oh, like okay. Ours will last Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

Lisa Duck (28:06)

If you’re drinking milk, you’re drinking a lot of milk if you buy the four liters. If not, you’re buying the little the little cartons. Which

have your little screw toppy thing on.

Susan Larimer (28:17)

Yeah. Yeah. But when we finish ours, you

Lisa Duck (28:19)

Go ahead.

Susan Larimer (28:19)

rinse it out and then you smoosh it and then you put it in the recycle bin and then every other week, like all of our cardboard and paper and all of our recyclables, plastic and everything, gets recycled. Although my husband swears it goes in the same place that the garbage goes. We just do it to make us feel better. I know.

Lisa Duck (28:35)

That’s what my husband says too. He says, It’s the same truck. It’s the same truck.

Okay, what else you got?

Susan Larimer (28:44)

Anyway, okay I have one

more picture. This is our last one.

Lisa Duck (28:48)

Groceries.

Susan Larimer (28:48)

Yeah. What are they I don’t maybe they’re calling what’s what is what are they in?

Lisa Duck (28:52)

Paper bag.

Susan Larimer (28:53)

Yeah, like a brown paper bag. So at the grocery

Lisa Duck (28:55)

Sack, I don’t know.

Susan Larimer (28:56)

store, like do you have an option of paper or plastic or how do you

Lisa Duck (29:01)

We we don’t have you can’t get that anymore. You have to buy reusable bags.

Susan Larimer (29:05)

Yeah, see that’s how New Jersey is, but the rest of the United States are not like that. Like in Pennsylvania and Ohio, they’ll say, Do you want paper

Lisa Duck (29:10)

Yeah, no, we we don’t

Susan Larimer (29:13)

or plastic?

Lisa Duck (29:13)

we don’t even have the option to buy plastic anymore here. I don’t know what it is

Susan Larimer (29:17)

Yeah, we don’t either.

Lisa Duck (29:18)

the rest of the country, but yeah, we can’t buy plastic. So

Susan Larimer (29:21)

Yeah. It was like

2018, like New Jersey banned all plastic bags. So now when I go to the grocery store, like I usually get a a pickup list. So I’ll order it online and then schedule a time to pick it up. They put it in my car and then I drive away. But every single time I go, I get like five or six new recycled bags. So then I accumulate all of these bags in my pantry and you know, it gets ridiculous.

‘Cause you can’t use them in your garbage can. Like I used to use my plastic bags like as garbage liners in my bathroom garbage cans. People used to use them to pick up animal byproducts.

Lisa Duck (29:59)

Mm-hmm.

Susan Larimer (30:00)

and now there’s no no plastic. So

Lisa Duck (30:04)

Okay. This was the one I was gonna ask you. What is this?

Susan Larimer (30:07)

Is it Is it like a chicken sandwich?

Lisa Duck (30:10)

It’s a chicken burger.

Susan Larimer (30:11)

Oh we call it a chicken sandwich. Like would you have that out do you have Chick fil A?

Lisa Duck (30:15)

Only in certain places. I have never

Susan Larimer (30:18)

Okay.

Lisa Duck (30:18)

personally eaten at a Chick-fil-a because I it’s like, yeah, it’s not close by. But yeah, no. And then

Susan Larimer (30:21)

Okay. Okay. Okay, so another go ahead.

Lisa Duck (30:27)

yeah, I was gonna say ’cause I seen that and then I it’s like if that’s a chicken sandwich, what do you call a hot dog?

Susan Larimer (30:35)

Well, hot dog doesn’t have chicken in it.

Lisa Duck (30:36)

But it has a button, so

Susan Larimer (30:38)

So hot dog’s a hot dog.

Lisa Duck (30:39)

Okay, somebody’s like I don’t know. And do you what

Susan Larimer (30:43)

Bug.

Lisa Duck (30:43)

do you call a grilled cheese? Okay,

Susan Larimer (30:45)

Goodies.

Lisa Duck (30:47)

it’s not a cheese sandwich? I don’t call it a cheese sandwich, but I’m just thinking it’s like

Susan Larimer (30:49)

Nope. I think a cheese sandwich

would be like ungrilled, like just cold, you know, Swiss cheese and bread. Just not melted. That would be a cheese sandwich. Okay, so this is another picture that came up. It’s not

Lisa Duck (31:00)

Be kinda gross.

Susan Larimer (31:02)

Yeah, that is kind of gross. Another picture that came up that wasn’t on our list, but w do you have McDonald’s, right? Okay,

Lisa Duck (31:06)

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. oh

Susan Larimer (31:09)

Lisa Duck (31:27)

Susan Larimer (31:49)

One of you that lives north of the border.

a pom pom, but more like a knit hat, like a skull skull cap.

if you like to watch Ted Lasso, our family loves watching that show. Um and so we just started season four and in the first episode Ted is in the United States and his British friends are visiting him. So you know, major cultural differences. And um so the one guy, Leslie, he sa or no, I’m sorry, Ted Lasso says to them, You should check out my son’s soccer game today. And they’re like, Don’t you mean football?

And he said, Nope, we’re in America, my friend. He said, We call it soccer. I’ve got dollars in my pants, and we use elevators to go up to our apartments where we poop French fries in our diapers. So all of those words, I think it was like nappy French fries, I’m not maybe chips. Lift, yes. Apartment, flat,
