From Australia I uploaded a post
about Australianisms. I mentioned that what Americans call speed bumps,
Australians call sleeping policemen. Apparently Brits use the same term.
Yesterday I found this photo on a Russian website. Go figure.
Kiwis call speed bumps judder bars. Mexicans call them topes. Here is a photograph of some topes.
OK. That’s a cheap shot. Lest we leap to a generalization that only Mexican policemen slack off while on duty, here’s a photo taken in Washington.
