They can have my hosepipe when they pry it from my cold, dead hands!

P.S. The Brits sure do speak funny. What’s a hosepipe?

🤔

"What’s a hosepipe?"

Brits always come up with crazy names for things. Bathroom = Loo; Car Trunk = Boot. Cookies = Biscuits. Food gift basket = Hamper. And the rest of the time they mispronounce normal words like aluminum, garage, privacy, vitamin.

We and the Brits are separated by a common language ;-) But “hosepipe” is one of the funniest words of all!
