Don't think I've ever heard of the three I missed before so don't feel too bad. Iced lolly I got.. had an Egyptian-British girl spend the weekend with me in Dammam and I remember her whining about wanting one. Thought it sounded so ridiculous.
The best popsicle flavour ever was Blurple - lemonade with blackcurrant swirls. I remember eating Blurples at lunchtime at school in summer in the 1980s. We would return to class with purple mouths.
As ridiculous as it may sound to other peoples, Ice-lolly is the English word for flavoured ice on a stick. And as English happens to be a language from England, that undeniable fact allows them the right to call flavoured ice on a stick whatever they choose. They chose Ice-lolly, and therefore, it is the correct English word. Thank you.
You certainly have the right to be as ridiculous as you choose but that doesn't make you correct. If I was born on the same patch of land as someone else who hundreds or thousands of years ago invented something that doesn't make me an expert or authority on that thing by birthright.
As a Canadian, I cringe every time I see Ice Hockey. It's hockey. When played on other surfaces, you name it (i.e. road hockey/street hockey/field hockey). You don't say "horse polo" or "field golf."
I think you'll find Hockey (played on grass) was going long before Ice Hockey. It has written history going back several hundred years and certainly long before Canada was Canada. The rules were only finalised though a short time before the Ice Hockey rules were codified. Field hockey is, in fact, the second largest team sport in the world (after soccer) played in over 100 countries, whereas Ice Hockey, apart from the Big 7 nations, there are another 30+ affiliated, but some of these don't even have an ice-rink.
It really depends on the country, which sport is more popular and called just "hockey". But overall you're right, field hockey is for climate and financial reasons much more popular worldwide. Even the International Ice Hockey Federation includes ice in its name.
Sorry Pants, but in international sporting parlance (check, for instance, the list of Olympic sports), just “hockey” means field hockey, but ice hockey needs the “ice” in front of it. But don’t go and get all righteously indignant about Canadian sports until you can come up with a valid defense of curling! :-D
If you're referring to coast guard ice cutters, cutters are a type of boat aside from any use for ice breaking. Mind that coast guard cutters aren't even remotely actual cutters; they just retained the name out of habit.
Can you add ice castle as an answer for the Frozen question? I've seen Frozen a million times and when it wouldn't accept my answer, I was really confused as to what it could possibly be.
Isn't an 'ice floe' the same as an 'ice shelf?' I tried it, it didn't work, and I couldn't think of another term. I have heard of shelf though, should've got it.
(I'm also called 'lilipop' XD)
why are there so many rappers with ice?Sorry, I'll go back to my maple syrup now.
Too soon?
It's called 'cremolada' in Peru, doesn't mean we don't like it...
