Comment on People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather?
Kiwi here. We have malls and shopping centers, but only mall Santas
You have malls and shopping centres? I thought they were the same thing. Whats the difference?
There’s no functional difference, we just use both terms. It’s a bit arbitrary, but generally once a mall is a mall we stick with that and vice versa. E.g. “Westfield St Lukes” is known as “St Lukes mall” colloquially by pretty much everyone.
