I did not.

Oh it is not. Who told you that??? Who says boot here?

I say boot. I also call a 'hood' a bonnet. I think bonnet is a cute word.

And also something you put your spare tire in.

Putting a spare tire in your footwear would just be silly.
Stop being silly.

Lets not get too silly

I spilled coffee on my crumpets earlier, how silly is that? And it tasted bad. Ruined my lovely breakfast.

That aint no bonnet, that's a hat.

A bonnet is an 18th century (ish) fabric hat worn around the whole back of the head, with frills round the face. Like you see in period dramas and ye olde English films

Boot

i.e. 'trunk' in American. Did you know that?

i like to think I've got a good vocabulary.


that being said, I also notice when people are saying (or writing) big words just to "sound smart". my bro's site www.mentalmagma.com (shameless plug) is FULL of his buddies who try and one-up the others continually. gets boring, tired.


THAT being said, there are words that convey the EXACT meaning of what you're trying to say. my teen's mom would accuse my mom of "using big words to make her feel dumb" when really my mom just is an insatiable reader with a great vocab. she still says stuff to me I've no idea what she means.


shally out.

When I think Shally, the first thought that comes to mind is his extensive vocabulary.
