Maybe you’ll actually dig the rooms in my grandma's old house:
1. the kitchen
2. the bathroom
3. the pantry
4. the bedroom
5. the living room

I can't remember if she had some fancy name for the living area—we always just called it the "parlor," kinda classy I guess.

np Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
I can't listen to this track without thinking about that pure dread I felt back in Las Vegas.

I see you grabbed the latest Uncut: Bo Diddley is a legend... and The Clash, obviously.😁

4. the closet

I can't recall if she had a specific name for the living room; we always just called it the "parlor." Quite sophisticated, really.

Anyway, Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
I find it impossible to listen to that track without being reminded of strah i prijezir u LV.

😁
I assume the breakdown is:
1. hallway
2. bedroom
3. pantry/storage
4. ?
5. basement??

A Schlafzimmer is just a bedroom—you know, from "schlafen" meaning to sleep—and a Badezimmer is a bathroom. Think Baden Baden. Now you’ve got number 4 figured out. As for what "rumpl" means, I haven't got a clue...

But I do know what that old-school classic expression "anjpidekl" means.😁

Wait, isn't it Uncle Bernie and not Uncle Pernie?

Anyway, here's the directions to the gyro joint:
"The easiest way is to take the rotor toward San Antonio
then just hop off the highway toward the harbor
and honestly, you basically just drive straight
hit the first light
pass the second light
and then about 150 meters after that second one, hang a left
and you're there"
Good luck, enjoy🙂

The nightstand and the psyche aren't the same thing. That first one doesn't even have a mirror; it’s just a basic-ass nightstand, plain as its name implies.

Yup. Just a regular little cabinet.😁

In our house, the junk drawer was basically just a catch-all for everything that didn't have a home—from Dad’s old toolset to random childhood toys. It's like a storage bin, but without the food. I always had this hunch my grandma just made the whole concept up.
My aunt used to tell me I had "mauldiaree." Subtly, of course. (It's some twisted slang for having spit all over your face or just being an unstoppable chatterbox.)
like denvnik

Oh, and the ashtray isn't just a little smoking nook—it's also an ash holder. A literal vessel for soot.

Dana Anderson4 said:but at least I actually know what that old-school slang term means.😁

For years, I was dead certain that thing was just some terrycloth bib used for babies during mealtime, right up until someone finally enlightened me that the actual word is bib chin guard.

The Top 5 words my grandmother used to swear by:

1. soap
2. address
3. sweetie pie (my personal favorite)
4. siphon (you can tell she had that fancy French influence)
5. to take a spill (just for a simple trip or fall without hitting a hole)

What do you mean by some black locker?🤔 A locker is just a locker, much like how a simple desk is just a desk.😛

I haven't even seen the movie—not yet, anyway. But that scene? It’s pretty intense in the book, too... if you can call it that.

Yeah, totally—it’s like some old-school slang term. A total relic. Honestly, language is dying. I was just packing my kids' gym clothes for tomorrow when my late grandma’s ghost basically popped up in my head asking: "Did you guys do any gymnastics at school today?" And like... yeah, gymnastics...

redcrane28 said:I haven't actually sat down to watch the movie yet. I'll probably get to it eventually, though that specific scene is just as vivid in the book as you say.

It’s just as visceral on screen, 😬 if I do say so myself, but I honestly think this might be the finest example of a book being brought to life on film. Aside from maybe *City of God*, it stands out as my absolute favorite adaptation by Terry Gilliam. It feels almost as if he filmed it frame by frame straight from the pages, yet it flows with such a seamless, cohesive, and convincing energy. Everything about it just works perfectly 🙂—it remains every bit as gritty and intense as the original novel, of course.

It was like a junk drawer, but for the whole house. I always had this sneaking suspicion my grandma just made the term up.

She definitely didn't make it up! In German, there's actually a word, 'rumpelzimmer,' which means exactly what you described.😉

Dana Anderson4 said:But I do know what that classic old expression "anjpidekl" means!😁

Isn't it supposed to be a-j-n-pidekl? Anyway, I used to absolutely love saying that word. 😁

And that little thing they hang by the door for babies? I always just called it a "partihlić"—I've always loved how that sounds.😛

I won't bother quoting anyone directly:

a) I think "rumpel" would just mean a mess, right? Like a heap of junk or something.
b) We used to call those little door draft stoppers "bavorinich" back home. Honestly, I once tried to compile an exhaustive list of every single term for that specific item of clothing (? 🙂), and I’m convinced it might actually hold the record for having the most synonyms in the entire American language.
c) To me, it sounds more like "cikopernica," though I was still saying "paz" duh not too long ago, so who knows... 😵
d) When it comes to Gilliam, *Twelve Monkeys* remains my absolute favorite.

Around here, we usually call that hair under the chin a goatee, or maybe even just a little "goateelet" if it's on the smaller side...

@ user:

a) Yeah, total chaos.
c) Honestly, I was convinced until I was about 16 that that animal was called a flossy 😵

Here are my top 6 "popular" foods that I absolutely can't stand:

1. Jam
2. Mayonnaise
3. Ketchup
4. Mustard
5. Marzipan
6. Dill sauce

miss l on the road said:Here are six things that most people seem to absolutely crave, but honestly? I can't stand them:

It’s like jam. Thick, sweet, and usually a mess to clean up if you aren't careful.
The second jar of mayo.
The third thing to consider? Ketchup. It’s easy to overlook, but if you aren't paying attention to what's in that bottle, you're essentially inviting a chemistry experiment onto your burger. Most of the stuff sitting on grocery store shelves in America isn't even food; it's a high-fructose corn syrup slurry masquerading as a condiment. You look at the labels and it’s just a list of additives designed to keep that red color looking "natural" while ensuring it lasts longer than most of our relationships. If you want to actually taste something decent, you have to be willing to do a little legwork and find the brands that actually use real tomatoes instead of industrial sludge. Otherwise, you might as well be eating flavored paint.
4. mustard
5. Marzipan
Coriander sauce. It’s one of those things that people either absolutely adore or find completely baffling. There isn't much middle ground. I’ve been thinking about how much we rely on these specific flavor profiles to carry a dish. You can have the most perfectly seared steak in Chicago, but if the sauce is off—if that coriander hit is too aggressive or too muted—the whole experience collapses. It’s like a high-stakes legal argument: you can have all the facts on your side, but if your delivery is clumsy, you've lost the jury. It’s a delicate balance. Too much, and you’re eating soap. Too little, and you’re just eating uninspired protein. It requires a certain level of precision that most quick-fix recipes tend to ignore.

Ugh, I’m with you there. I can’t stand mayonnaise, mustard, or marzipan. I honestly have no idea why. It's strange because I usually have a massive sweet tooth, but marzipan is a hard pass for me. And don't even get me started on those black gummy candies—I can't recall the exact name, but I know Haribo makes a version of them.

So, here’s where we stand right now:
babajol
I suppose I should address this matter before it spirals any further. There’s a certain predictable pattern to these things—a slow slide from order into chaos that everyone sees coming but nobody bothers to stop. It reminds me of watching a massive corporate merger go south because someone forgot to check the basic math; you can see the cracks forming in the foundation, yet everyone keeps acting like the building isn't leaning. It’s the same old story. We pretend to be surprised when the inevitable happens, as if reality owes us a favor by following our expectations. It doesn't. Life isn't a scripted drama; it's more like a poorly managed project at a firm in Chicago where the deadlines were missed before the first meeting even ended. You just have to decide whether you're going to fight the tide or just grab a seat and watch the wreckage.
The term "partihlich" or "partihlek" doesn't carry much weight in standard American English. It sounds like one of those linguistic oddities—a bit of slang or perhaps a misheard fragment that hasn't quite found its footing in the dictionary yet. If you're trying to pin down a specific meaning, you might be looking at a niche colloquialism or just a typo that’s been circling the digital drain. Without more context, it’s hard to tell if we're dealing with a genuine piece of jargon or just noise in the signal.

I haven't seen any posts from bavorinich lately. It’s been quiet on that front.
I refuse to engage with such low-level gutter talk. It’s beneath the dignity of this forum.

Now, which one was it? I’ve lost track. Let’s keep going, then. Let’s see just how many of them actually show up. 🙂

So, what’s the actual official American term for this thing?
Is it just "double chin"? 😁
