Always a bit off-putting to hear an English person use American slang. I can imagine it’s 10x as bad when it’s the opposite.

@emptywheel what would the Irish call it? -
@p2wy Glove box. And this goes back to when I worked in industry w/AmericanESL speakers, which made it kind of a problem. -
@emptywheel interesting, i’ve always used glove box from birth (Texan of 18th century English immigrants). -
@p2wy Huh. I had never used it before, and these Taiwanese folks used Compartment. -
@emptywheel *to the googles* -
@p2wy In any case glove compartment is stupid and SHOULD be replaced w/glove box, which is why I can't remember the former anymore. -
@emptywheel of course the search GLOVE BOX TEXAS returns mostly results about guns.
