My wife calls an outlet an "electrical faucet".

Sounds appropriate. My grandmother called an automobile a machine.#2: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 3, 2025
charming!#3: Joanne Firla (JoFirla) on Oct 3, 2025 [SPOILER]
Well, the electrons do flow out of it... ;)#4: Meg Smith (mamadragonfreak) on Oct 3, 2025 [SPOILER]
and the translation is probably nowhere near the word outlet.#5: Jota (jota) on Oct 7, 2025
Clever!#6: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Oct 9, 2025 [SPOILER]
Related to what Norma said in comment 1: I am in some electric pasta machine groups on Facebook. When Facebook translates the term "pasta machine" from German to English, it calls it a "car." Once you're used to it it's easy to figure out, but the first few times you read "put the flour and water in your car" it is pretty startling!
