Quiz of the day ....
Thursday, May 22, 2003 by eieio | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Here's an example to get started.
What's the real name of the symbol on your phone at the bottom right that is commonly referred to as the pound sign?

My best translation would be "carriage door".
It's an old term refering to when rich people stepped out of their carriage onto the red carpet.
