Here in Aussie/Oz (whatever) we tend to call them 'whitegoods' rather than whiteware.

JO!
You get to iron Tom Cruise's clothes??? (He's from here,
incidentally.) What does his under'wear' look like? I
take it back about not wanting to know what anyone
has in their drawers! Yee-ee-haw! (Oh, now I'm taking a
discussion downhill myself! Oh, the shame!)

lusy said <I fear that glass is in great danger of becoming synonymous with "transparent drink container" as in the phrase "plastic glasses", which I heard used just the other day.>


In Indonesian "gelas" already means just that. Glass the substance is "kaca".

for italics, try using square brackets instead; markup is enabled here instead of HTML.

We also call spectacles glasses and these days they are often made of plastic, so that's another kind of plastic glasses.

I have no knowledge of Tom Cruise's underwear (Jackie, I'm shocked, I thought you were such a nice girl).
