(no subject)
I thought I was going to be blocked on the current CoL chapter, but I've got a good way into it. Yay me! (And thank you, little miss muse, for soldiering on.)
It's been a fairly productive day. Laundry done, house cleaned--swept, mopped, and the kitchen and bathroom sinks and stove scrubbed--and food cooked for the week, including a batch of granola and a big batch of pasta which was lunch today. (Also, yay back to regular food. Cheese! Yoghurt! Pasta! Chicken! Lent was cool, but I've missed sinking my teeth into some of the good stuff.) And of course, church.
After all that, let's play some old memes, shall we?

Littering? (Or possibly vandalism, if I were in Singapore.)
What is the bug that when you touch it, curls into a ball?
Mealworm
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
Soft drink in Singapore, I think it's pop here? Or sparkling water.
What do you call gym shoes?
Shoes ... running shoes if I'm being specific.
What do you say to address a group of people?
Speech
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
Daddy long-legs? I dunno, I just say spider.

The honorific terms in Chinese, or more specifically the Hakka dialect. (Ah-da for my grandfather, Ah-neh for my grandmother.)

Trolley.

Shower.
What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
Remote.
And this one, with some repeats but mostly different questions, last done here.
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks.
Stream. Though there are canals as well if it's man made, I think. And I'm sure a creek must be something like that, too. And we have a brook in the town. So take your pick.
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called.
Trolley
3. A metal container to carry a meal in.
Mess tin
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in.
Frying pan
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people.
Couch. Or sofa. Could be a bench, too. This is pretty versatile ...
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof.
Gutter
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening.
Porch? Veranda? Or balcony if you live on in high rise, I suppose.
In Singapore it would be a void deck.

Pancake.
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself.
Subway! (sandwich)
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach.
Swimming trunks
12. Shoes worn for sports.
Sports shoes ...
13. Putting a room in order.
Tidying.
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark.
Glowworm. No wait, it flies, so firefly.
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball.
Mealworm
16. The children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down.
Seesaw (is there actually another term for this?)
17. How do you eat your pizza?
Depends how it's served and where I am. In a fancy restaurant, with knife and fork. Otherwise, slice-wise with my hands.
18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff?
Garage sale in Canada. Car boot sale over here. Illegal in Singapore.
19. What's the evening meal?
Dinner. Or tea if I'm at Congerstone.
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are?
Basement.
21. What do you call the thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places?
Water cooler, though I think it's water fountain here?
