Short story from work that I feel simultaneously a bit embarrassed about and proud.
The usual meeting, you know, when you're here with your boss and his boss. And then he says something like
-... we would be leading this topic. As we're on the lead.
And for some reason I decided that he meant something else and said out loud:
Me: Leash.
*pause and confused look of my boss*
Me: You meant "leash". Like with what you lead something.
*a minute of him and other boss confused comments which is which, and now I feel like I've done something stupid*
Cut to now, a couple hours later
And I decided to actually find the difference between two.
(as I'm not the native speaker)
Firstly, I thought that "lead" generally isn't used in the context of the thing with which you lead an animal. Secondly, the first associations with it are "to lead" - a verb - and "the metal that is lead"
Some part of the Internet says the difference is between British and American.
So, yeah
I think I might have been noisy.
But look. At least I've learned something new
