Divash Quote: erm... Dragon! Dragons are what we call cars up here. Though I know it's a fairly common bit of slang, it irritates me. People in the Middle Ages did not travel and carry things in dragons, they carried them in WAGONS. Calling a car a dragon just isn't Period. It's been over a decade since I attended my last SCA event. At the time, I called my car a wagon. Now I'm about to go to my first event this very weekend, and I think I'll be calling my car "the camels."
A car. |

Now I'm about to go to my first event this very weekend, and I think I'll be calling my car "the camels." I've already mentioned this, but rather than direct you to the post I'm going to repeat the period word for a wagon or cart meant for transporting people. A car.
Yes, I read it the first time. I just didn't care to comment, because when I refer to my automobile as a camel, I'm not talking about a method of transport for people. I'm referring to a method of transport for equipment.
The method of transport I use for transporting people, or at least person (myself), is FEET. |
