what are the things americans most used on a daily basis

[stuey]

Spongeffect, are you absorbing any of this?

[Svejk]

it ain't an atlas, that's for sure. ;)

[jno]

you might as well ask what's the most commonly used item in Britain. I have no idea either way. OG may well be right to say "pen".

[ummmm]

Kettle.

[mazie]

Laptop/tablet/PC ?

[-Talbot-]

I think it would be a phone. (same as here)

[The Builder]

Lawyers

[Zacs-Master]

I would again pint out the word the OP used is 'used'. Past tense.

[atalanta]

Their fingers. They have so much fast food, for a start.

[SeaJayPea]

Reinforced chairs and beds, nowadays, to be sure.

[Canary42]

Mouths

[anneasquith]

disposable cutlery/crockery/napkins

[jomifl]

Knife, fork and spoon

[janbee]

use of the word DUDE

[stuey]

Teflon-coated vests so that British insults will slide off:)

[jomifl]

Zacs, nothing wrong with the past tense in the question, people only know about the past, you can't know about something that hasn't yet happened other than it hasn't yet happened.

[Svejk]

aww, we're only jealous, stuey. ;-)

[pastafreak]

@ stuey...I just knew I forgot to put mine on this morning!! ;-)

[stuey]

Hey, man, dude, like it's a joke, innit:) (An interesting thread)
