This is jokes because in the US, a"rubber" is condom."Rubber" is a cute word for when you're a kid asking to borrow your mate's stationery, but as an adult, I go for"eraser". It makes more sense and it avoids any confusion!Getty Images Both of these work, but I just think we need to get on the same page here... Cos we also have escalators, and that can be mighty confusing to some folk!There's a certain nostalgia to the word"flannel" for me, but truly, what does it mean???"Washcloth" is clearly the superior name here, and it doesn't also make you think of a plaid shirt!"Braces" can also mean those used on your teeth, and"suspenders" – once again – just makes more sense.
I am actually fond of the word"queue", but it is a nightmare to spell sometimes, and it doesn't really have much of a grounding in the English language anymore . I'm not totally advocating a change to"line", but it makes more sense, right?Again,"vest" is a French word, and"undershirt" is just far more descriptive.
