They also had a really tall (stainless?) sliding board that we'd sit on waxed paper to go faster.
Sliding board?
I mean, I would have guessed this was a UK term or something... I had to check where you are from. So now I'm confused about that. Is it an age thing?
I mean, we've always just called it a "slide". Assuming we're talking about the same thing, of course. I *think* my parents called it a slide, too, but I guess I can't be positive.
Hmm. Mysteries of life, I guess.

I think it is more of a regional term like pop, soda, coke type thing.

Man, that lap belt is way too high - it's gonna cause more damage than it prevents. It needs to be way down in your lap... I can't believe he would be walking around so dangerously. He needs to wear that correctly so all the people around him are safe!

Could be a regional thing. Maybe originals were wood? Caution - splinters:) Walmartians use the term:


EDIT No idea how that link above got named

Even here in PA we can confuse each other - gumband, pop, soda, y'ins, etc. Then we have different ideas about dinner and supper. Around here we might say "If you work on getting the front wheels off, I'll change the oil awhile". Others would probably say "While I change the oil, you could pull the front tires". Had a bud from Pittsburgh scratch his head when I ended a sentence in "awhile".
