Not only was it taken from Bob The Builder, but up here in New Zealand we even had a politician use it as a campaign catchphrase back around '05. Winston Piters, a horribly racist politician that relied on the grey vote. He's gone now. But the association with that sort of politics made more then a few people I know mutter about Obama for awhile.

The little reflective bumps on roads have always been known as Cat's Eyes to me.

Puggles were critters (stuffed toys) from the really cool but now gone store called the Lost Forest.

I always heard a Widget was the tab that you pull to crack open an aluminium can.

Send the police to the trades! The children must be protected!
