Take this little quiz to see what our girl
Savvy was up against:
| If you hear someone say, “I lost half a stone," do you think: |
| A) |
Aren't you too old to be playing with pet rocks? |
| B) |
Are you helping your mom with yard work - again? |
| C) |
What? You're one a diet? |
| The answer is C. One stone equals 14 US pounds so if you lose half a stone you've lost 7 pounds! |
If you buy something and the salesperson says, “One pound, please,”
do you think: |
| A) |
Wait a minute, I thought you people weighed in stones. |
| B) |
I'll gladly give you one or even more if it will help me fit into my skinny jeans. |
| C) |
Okay, And then you hand over a one pound coin, which, in British currency, is equal to about $1.50 in US dollars. It has a nifty picture of Queen Elizabeth on it, too. |
| The answer is C. |
| If you rush in out of the rain and someone says, “Put your brolly in the bucket,” they: |
| A) |
Think you still play dolls and - a brolly would be the boy. |
| B) |
Have been out in the sun too long. |
| C) |
Want you to place your umbrella (“brolly”) in an umbrella stand by the door to keep it from dripping all over the floor. |
| The answer is C. |
| If your new British friend looks at your brother and says, “He's quite smart, isn't he?” you: |
| A) |
Think that she means he has a high IQ. You then know that she is referring to someone else. |
| B) |
Are tempted to insist that looks are deceiving. |
| C) |
Believe she means he is dressed nicely and looks good. You're now certain that she must be referring to someone else. |
| You're getting the pattern here, aren't you? The answer is C. |
| If your new friend says a guy is "dishy" she means: |
| A) |
He's gone to cooking school and can make a mean meal. |

He's texted her that he has to clean the kitchen, again. |

He's cute! |
