It only just occurred to me...

It only just occurred to me…

I call it the Kontrol Zed 2, and half the people on here call it a Kontrol Zee 2.

Regional mind blower.

A man named Walter Summerford was struck by lightning 3 times in his life. After his death, his gravestone was also struck.

Is the letter “Z” pronounced “ZED” where you live?

In Milwaukee, they call drinking fountains bubblers.

And just to keep this DJ-related, I’m pretty sure if you put your controller/mixer under the bubbler, it would cause damage.

In the UK we would say ‘Zed’ - or at least that’s what I and anyone I speak with says. In fact I just asked my wife how she would pronounce ‘Kontrol Z2’ and she said “Zed”. I asked if she would ever say ‘Zee’ and she said “fuck no, this isn’t Sesame Street”.

Do my American cousins say “Zee” ?

In Australia they call Flip Flops, Thongs!!

And us Kiwis call them Jandals. Also, those aussies call Duvets “Doonas”

Southern hemisphere weirdness!!! :wink:

Makes it sound like a comfort blanket doesn’t it??!!

In South Africa, we call flip flops “slip slops”.

Thongs are those things girls wear.

And some call duvet’s comforters. Sounds a pacifier…or what we call a dummy!

:slight_smile:

flip flops are called slippers in dutch.

In NZ we don’t call it Kiwifruit, just fruit … which can get a little confusing.

How about them birds? Kiwibirds?

Just ‘Birds’.

In Cheddar, they call Chedder Cheese… Cheese.

Aw mate, you killed it… :disappointed:

So, what about when referring to citizens of NZ? Instead of “Kiwis,” do you just call them “”?

Idiots. For voting the Nats back in

Also, in Brazil they just call them testicles.

Here’s 2 for Tekki:

In the UK when a couple go out for a meal and they split the bill we call it ‘Going Dutch’.
What do Dutch people say?

In the UK when someone says or writes something that make no sense or is hard to read we say it’s “Double Dutch”.
What do the Dutch say?

In Holland, they just call them Ovens :stuck_out_tongue:
