Budgie-

Have you ever heard of a budgie?


Today my tutor-ee learned the British word "budgie." As we read through his vocab list, I came upon this word and to my knowledge believed it was not in our American vocab. So asking a fellow pastor here, he directed me online, believing it was the word for 'parakeet,' and sure enough it was. So then as we proceeded with our lesson, each time the word "budgie" came up, I'm pretty sure Nick wasn't quite sure why I was laughing, but I just could not help but find these random and few British words so different and so humorous. I still don't know if I pronounced it right, but regardless, we both learned a new word today:)
