The Road Trip Glossary

An attempt to explain some of the terms used in our blog posts:

Boonying – To park on the side of the road for the night

Dinghy/Toad – The vehicle in tow

Go back – To lie in the bed while travelling, watching the world slide past

Jimmy – Our male in house voice operating system

Kroger – A large and surprisingly well stocked supermarket native to America

Maisy – Our female in house voice operating system

Pull-thru – Don’t even think about reversing out of that camp site

Rig – The entire vehicular assembly

RV – Recreational Vehicle

Settlers – Either: Malkie waxing lyrical about American history, or an enjoyable board or iPad game

Ten o’clock – Malkie’s bowel movement

TMI (when said by Ryan) – Too much information from Malkie about his bowel habit

Tude – Short for altitude (e.g. “can I have a tude check please” means “what height am I above sea level”)

Viz – Not a word (though Lucy tried to use it in Bananagrams)

Wall-mart – A large and surprisingly badly stocked supermarket native to America
