Reina Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 'Vacuuming' is such an Americanised word in my opinion. I always say 'hoovering' and I own a Dyson, so ner ner ner ner ner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centralparker Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) None of those compare to someone saying 'I'm just going to do the hoovering'. When they own a fucking Electrolux. But the word hoover has now passed into mainstream English and has thrown off its trademark shackles and used widely as a noun or verb to refer to any vacuum cleaner. The same thing happened to Trampoline. Google might go the same way. Edited May 29, 2007 by centralparker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz Killington Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Tippex - it's good fun this game. Just remember something about Tippex. Just after I started my job my boss called me up to discuss a job I was working on. Anyway one part of my notes for the partner to review he didn't think was necessary and so told me to "snowflake it out". I just stood there thinking what's this guy on about. It turns out he meant "Snow pake" (another make of correction fluid BTW). That was when I realised that the office was so stingy it wouldn't even buy "real Tippex". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
