Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I sell them for a living, and there's almost no consensus on what they're called. There are a few terms that are popular overseas that we seem to avoid for some reason (I don't think I've heard whipper snipper or string trimmer for example), but everything else is fair game.

I believe "whipper snipper" is a West Island term.
