Ah it's great to see the word lorry used -last night when we were at our Pastor's house and said about the speed the lorries went on the #1 Highway, they just stared at us blankly.

Finally they understood - SEMI'S

I had to explain to my 5 year old what a Lorry was when we were back in Ireland for Christmas. Granda kept confusing him with his funny words for things

Elaine B.

Oh yeah and who ever heard of a Bin Lorry everyone knows it's a Garbage Truck!

daft batty

semi?? not a truck?

manghams

I always thought a semi was a house?

That's a half duplex.

Jay Bird

You're kidding, right? Articulation as in manner of speaking, remarks, utterances etc. But then you knew this.....
Apologies beforehand if this sounds snooty....don't mean it to

So did I, so I checked with a Canadian friend last night,
"Whats a semi? said I,
" A house" said she,
"Anything else?" said I
"Halfway between a floppy and an erect" said she

So not a lorry or a truck
