You know how there are basic words you don't

know...even when you speak english better than some english speakers? For example, I had to look up how to say "hard over egg"...(which means a sunny side up egg turned over and cooked till the yolk is hard) so lets have a thread of simple words we don't know! btw, i turned 18 today!

Are you sure that this idiom is used is all

English speaking countries and it is not just a local thing ? Because you know, in English people from differnent countries have local terms to describe the same object sometimes

any internal organs...

and generally just nouns you wouldn't normally use.... i can still remember a few years back that i was talking about a broom only to realise i had no clue what's the english word for broom...

Congrats!

But you still can't drink, right?

You can in Israel... Anyway, how does it feel all grown up? Do you feel closer to the ozone layer? More experienced? Good and ready to Lock&Load and charge on life? And for the difficult words, I'd have to say stuff like terms in medicine, gardening, carpentry, construction etc. Not that I'd know what they are called in Hebrew, but still.​

HAHAHA!

not that i know what's they're called in hebrew that was really funny! and about me turning 18, i can't drink cause of a small medical reason anyway. And technically, considering the fact i'm in rez, i can drink all i want

thanks for the congratulations,!
