That's really funny that you posted this as I taught my daughter the universal sign for telling someone in another car to put their window down is to mime rolling down a window. She had to ask why that gesture since she's never seen a car with a hand crank on the windows!
ReplyDeleteYup, it's happening! Thanks, Helen.
ReplyDeleteSo, what can we say about the car windows?
ReplyDelete"Button down the windows?" (a button is doing the action, but most of us will think of a different type of button and button-ing action)
Just make the sound?? "ZZZZ down the window?" -- Though some cars are more quiet than others.
What do people say other than "roll down"???
wow... this got me thinking more than necessary. I must really be putting off John Wesley work. ☺

Debra, overthinking is a time-honored way of avoiding anything you should be doing.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Debra, I've thought about it and have come up with a simple alternative:
ReplyDelete"Open the window."
Hi Bonnie, I am a first-time visitor who thought of a couple of oldies:
ReplyDeleteSpin the 45s
Close the ice box
Hang up the phone
And, how about "turn off the radio" cause so few folks listen anymore, but we STILL do...listen.
