A PSA to help inbreds with basic speech>lorryFrom the ye olde word lurry. To lurry heavy objects around. Thats what it does. Lorry. >articA bigger lorry that is articulated in the middle. Shorten it down for simplicity. >gearboxIts a box full of gears.>bonnetThey almost got it with 'hood' but a bonnet actually comes over the front and covers in a more relevant place.>bootBoots go on the end of you.

Which is also a liquid btw.>Zebra crossingIt is where zebras cross the roadUse these terms and you will eventually stop sounding like a faggot
>>28929810Moto Guzzi engines look so good on those little pseudo-cars.
>>28929810>Zebra crossingMy favorite of the proper terminology.But "anti-clockwise" is wack to me.In Quebec instead of voiture we say char. Mon char. Comes from chariot apparently.

>>28929810Now explain pantechnicon to the unexpected imports that have a lifetime NCB.
>>28929810We mostly use the same terms in pozzstralia except lorry is a truck and artic (first time I've heard that one) is also a truck or a semi(-trailer).
>>28929915An artic is a B double in australia dumbass
>>28929915 tbf oz falls closer to the anglo tree than 'murica
>>28929819How hard is the french/english dialect difference in canada? Do you cross the border to quebec and everyone talks french or is it like a bit of both?

>>28929822I've used "smibbly bibbly" irl and people know I mean the TV remote.
>>28929946Yes. Until you get to Montreal, then it's a toss up between the two. Frequent greeting at stores is "bonjour hi".The further you get from Ontario and Montreal the more you'll hear. Quebec City is very french.
>>28930012See southerners would understand that but up norf theyd call it a twatstick
>>28929946you cross the border and no one knows how to use indicators

>>28929810>Petroleum:Petroleum is refined into fuels (gasoline, diesel), petrochemicals, and plastics. >Trunk:Vehicles originally had a rack to carry a trunk (luggagr) on the rear of the vehicle. This was later incorporated into a seperate, integral compartment.
>>28930823bongs call trunks chests. burgers introduced trunk as an alternative name.
>>28929999The one where you cried like little bitches begging for daddy America to save your jewish banker bussies
>>28930942LOL average american school education level.Shielded your ass from germany then you did what big churchill told you to like a good colony.

>>28929810>>gearbox>Its a box full of gears.So is the differential>petrolThe chemical compound is known as petroleum. Which is also a liquid btw.Which petrochemical? If I put diesel in your gasoline car you'd be upset wouldn't you? Gas is shorthand for gasoline.>articA bigger lorry that is articulated in the middle. Shorten it down for simplicity.I don't think we have those and therefore don't know what we'd call em. Artic sounds fine imo
>>28931149Can't relate, I always come out on top.
>>28931155>I don't think we have thoseHe's talking about a semi.
>>28929810>truckTrucking something is synonymous with lurrying it>trailerThey trail behind>transmissionIt transmits power from the mo'ur to the driveshaft>hoodIt goes over the head aka the front. Also sounds more mysterious and masculine than something a woman wears>trunkA trunk is a wooden box similar to a chest. When people would travel they'd carry their travelling gear in trunks which would be affixed to the rear of a carriage. >gasShort for gasoline. A refined petroleum product. Is gas so shitty in the UK that it's equivalent to putting sour crude in your tank? Or is it a chamber?>zebra crossingAight you got me good job anon
>>28930854Theyre two different types of container.A chest would be filled with linen or personal belongings at the foot of a bed or in a parlor.A trunk would be used for travelling, either wirh personal items on a vacation or as part of a profession filled with wares.They are not interchangable definitions.
>>28931194What's wrong with crosswalk?It's where you walk to cross the road.
>zebra crossing.Funny shit-There is no evidence zebra were ever domesticated by africans.But curious Europeans wondered if it was possible so they captured wild zebras and trained them to pull carriages.As it turned out- it was easier to capture wild zebras and successfully train them than it was to breed and raise zebras.
>>28931192Oh I thought he was talking about the bendy busses they have. Tbh I never liked calling them semi trucks because I'm too dum to know what a full truck is if they're semis lol
>>28931227semi trailers are trailers that load a portion of their weight onto the vehicle pulling them, hence a semi truck is a truck that pulls semi trailersit seems odd since most trailers are semi trailers these days, but in ye olde days trailers with wheels in all four corners were the standard
