Urgh I FINALLY finished writing my practice essay to standards I wanted myself to achieve. I hate doing things without a deadline, it just means I look at it and then go back and keep deleting it and starting again until it's "perfect" and it still isn't. Fml.

Oh well, moar meme time.

Say These Words:

Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting Image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught

Now answer these questions:

What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, curls into a ball?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you change the TV channel with?

Haha, I wondered about the drinks too... My immediate response was 'fizzy'... takes less time to say than 'bubbly carbonated'. Not as in "Do you want a can of fizzy", though. :/

As for the gym shoes, depends on the type... trainers, sneakers or plimsolls, according to the style. For me, 'converses' with laces = sneakers, without laces = plimsolls (like we wore in P.E in primary school).

...Huh? I think Daddy-Long-Legs has got six legs and wings - it's not a spider. I think it's also called a Crane Fly... The spiders that look a bit like them are Harvestmen / Harvest Spiders... although actually, some do cal them Daddy Long Legs too... Oh, bleh, never mind....


... With apparently over 40 different words for different forms of rain, someone Welsh-speaking should able to answer that rain/sunshine one... Well, seeing as FT's Wales is back in action - "DARREN! HELP, PLEASE!"
