Moe Szyslak on Garage

[AndrewP]

Not sure if this has come up before, but Moe thought the word garage was too French.

Anyone (other than Moe) prefer the term 'Car Hold'?

I always thought it was "car hole"...

I think you're right, this script of the episode also says 'Car Hole'.

Looks like I had it wrong for the last 20 years

"Car Hole Journal" just doesn't have quite the same ring to it...

I use "car home" sometimes.

Carriage house comes up too...the old timers use to park their horse carriages in building resembling garages and most carriage houses were converted to garages when the horseless carriage was invented.
Me...since I own a Mustang pony convertible, the terms, stall, barn, and unbridled have been said...so soon we will be full circle as long as they keep naming automobiles after animals. Does that mean you park your Boxster in a dog house?

Some very interesting thoughts there.

As my car is a Falcon, then perhaps my garage could be referred to as a nest?

Lair for my Cougar?

Just "my hole" as my wife calls it.

 

[WVBrady]

When I was a kid, I called it a "grage". That doesn't sound very French.

Boxter

Boxer

 

[Lippyp]

Isn't it pronounced "Garidge"? not "Garaaarge"

 

[58Yeoman]

Okay, I'll park my Yeoman on a ship, my Galaxie in the sky, my Ford Ranger and Subie Forester in the woods. That will give me so much more room in the garage and shop.

I didn't watch the clip, but across the pond don't they pronounce garage like the word "carriage", whereas we in the States pronounce it "grrrraaajj"?
