English Vs. English

Was sent on a mission today. To find 'magic' pens. Got into this big long discussion with hubs on what a 'magic' pen was. Turns out he just wanted a biro.

Hubs: One of those crystal pens with black ink.
Suz: A biro?
H: No, a Bic.
S: Yeah, ok.
H: (gets dead pen) See, it says BIC right on it
S: So you want a biro?
H: No, I want a Bic.
S: (Rolls eyes)
H: Make sure it's a BIC.

So, we've got biros now.



Such an interesting life.
