A couple I met, an American woman married to a South African man, told a story about how they were driving together one day when she stopped at an intersection. He made some comment about what "the robot" was doing. She was like, "Robot?! Where?!" She didn't realize that in South African English, robot means "traffic light."
It sounded like he said,
ReplyDelete"Gays upon the city of tomorrow...."
What a prediction!
