Results: Where is my whatchamacallit?
Published on 04/12/2016
I have known of many regional differences such as while driving, what I call a circle others call a roundabout.
While making pancakes. I asked for what I call a "pancake turner." A friend told me it was a "spatula."
I always knew a spatula as the utensil for scraping a bowl, but this was new to me.
