    GOMs rule!

    People who refer to saw stools ( the ones with the flat top ' T ' to lay timber on ) as saw horses ( the ones with the saddle ' X ' to place logs in )

    Yep, there must be some rather odd breeds of horses in some parts of the world.
    Their saddles must be uncomfortable also .

    Similarly, lawn bowls. Often described as "old men's marbles."
