Okay. Now I'm curious.

Is it a regional thing? A generational thing? Why all the confusion?

Well, for that matter, I've never heard "incy wincy", except in that song...

This is one of those things that's far more fascinating than it's importance warrants. Like what people call soft drinks. I periodically have a discussion about that on my journal. Or start it with my friends. Or with people I barely know. I just...like to talk about it.

Speaking of which, I have a ton of new friends on my flist since the last time I had that discussion. Maybe I need to bring it up again....

Someday soon, I'm going to post lots of photos of stuff like Aussie lightswitches, and toilet bowls, and stuff - all the things I was not expecting to be different when I went to Germany. It really is fascinating how all the things we assume are the same usually aren't.

Oh, yes! I know what you mean! When I went to Europe, I was totally thrown by lots of little things (grocery stores. They're different everywhere you go, and it's always so weird). I would love to see that post! You should definitely do it!
