Here is one to get you started on strange experiences:
My husband said one day: "Hocks go cah, cah." I couldn't think for the
life of me what a hock was. After some explanations and
misunderstandings, it turned out it was a HAWK he was talking about.
Where I came from they said: "Caw, caw!"
He also mentioned that someone was a popper... again explanations were
needed... he meant PAUPER!
At least he can say my name properly, a bit long on the a, but that's
okaaaay.
Love, Hazel
