Hi Mary Ann,
ReplyDeleteThe only one of your words I know, is 'Lanyard' and that is only because of our many visits to Disney World, Florida, where they are almost compulsory accessories!
'Masa' is also quite a friendly sounding word, whereas I really don't like the sound of 'Berm'.
An interesting post, thanks for sharing,
Yvonne
I knew lanyard - they were quite popular when my son was in high school - kids used them to hook things on their backpacks.
ReplyDeleteLanyard has come into quite common usage in Australia in the past few years, lots of people are burdened with them for IDs at work. I know I've seen masa before
