What Do You Mean by That, Anyway?©

The Game:
Here’s the deal: I will supply an every day word or phrase used in England and known generally throughout the UK. Of course I understand that different parts of England and the UK have different slang for things and that one word or phrase might have various meanings depending where the word is said, but

oh, wait. I just remembered a pram is a baby cart, not a shopping cart.

I made a mistake... #12 was supposed to be "Lorry," not Larry, although there is a "Larry" and a "Lerry"...
Sorry bout that!

Also, 21 is not a feminine pad... at least I've never heard it called that.

[deadwolfbones]

in that case, lorry = truck

and sledge also means sled, but I figured you were going for the weirder answer.

Ok, I posted mine to you directly. I figured it wasn't fair for me to play, although I don't really know all of the terms.

I miss Britain though and this has reminded me how much I've missed it.

Re: why is lorry in bold?

[jackconure]

Because I changed it... I mistakenly said "Larry" instead of "Lorry."

Haha... Doggy style...

Your answers made my day. :)
