Comment on Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"?

Haha it’s true! When my Malaysian friend asked me for a torch, I was running around for five minutes looking for a lighter, like this one.

It’s all I could picture, no one ever asked me for a TORCH before. Like in Indiana Jones?? 😅

Until I stopped and asked, “Wait, what do you need it for?”

“To look at my car, something is wrong with the engine.”

…and that’s when I realized. We had a good laugh.
