Damn autocorrect.

Actually I was sitting here picking icicles out of my nose hairs when a thought occurred to me; you don’t really get snow over in the UK, so I don’t think you get to claim ownership over any terminology related to snow vehicles.

Come to think of it, my parents are both from the UK, I don’t remember them ever using any specific words related to toboggans. They didn’t them toboggans, and they certainly didn’t call them sledges or sleds. Hmm.

Unless yer parents were called Liz and Philip and lots of lovely big houses paid for by taxpayers it doesn’t really count.
