When someone cuts their finger and they need something to put on their bleeding, painful wound, what do they ask you for? A Band-Aid? Well, not to burst your bubble but, technically, that's just a brand although it's what everyone in America calls it. Over here they call them plasters! Who knew? I sure didn't. So when someone asks you for a plaster, don't think they want...well, who knows what you might think they want if you don't know what it means... They just have a boo-boo and need a Band-Aid.
Do they use the word bandage too?
ReplyDeletemmm I believe so. When I didn't know what a plaster was my friend might have said a bandage.
