OP 'Member that post about how Britspeakers giggle at the name Randy? Well, two of those type persons have lately referred to a car as a saloon. So--it is my turn to giggle, 'cause over on this side of the pond, a saloon is pretty much the equivalent of a pub. So, I get a mental image of y'all drivin' a bar around...
Now: how did a car come to be called a saloon, anyway? I can make a guess at how a sedan came to be called a sedan, but I'd rather hear from somebody who really knows.
