mas, I hate those, but they are sometimes needed.
Dragon do they call them yard sales in Oz? I think in Britian they are called car boot sales, at least that is what they call them on a show on BBC America.

OK mas..why? I see that on Cash In The Attic, I think that is the show, all the time, but I can't figure out its origin. I love language.

I'm not sure of the official reason, but when i lived there, you'd see people gather in their cars and their boot (trunk) would be open. Inside would be the junk they wanted to sell.

Ahhhh ok, now that makes sense to me. I was thinking perhaps because you could sell anything from a car to a boot!! LOL

Dragon I don't know if a separate space is needed, we seem to cover it when it comes up.

I find it entertaining being thoroughly confused by the slang sometimes. I feel more cultured as a result.
