What kind of rubbers?
I know that is the term you use for condoms, but here in Australia, we call an eraser a "rubber"....so when we send our kids off to school we send them with pencils, pencil sharpener and rubbers.
And there are all different shapes, sizes and colours of rubbers so a lot of kids collect them too.

well we all know you Aussies are rebellous bunch that just do things your way anyhoo! ;) ;)
MY favorite thing that we have different names for is a 'crush'....we call them 'stocks' over here, so the first time I heard someone say they were gonna build a crush for their horses, I was appalled...Why would you crush your horses!!??
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
(for those that dont' know what either of those are: They are a metal cage resembling the gates race horses get into to start a race except they have metal panels around the bottom you can open to get to different parts of the horse. You use them when you need to restrain the horse for medical procedures usually)

Here in Pennsylvania we call rubber boots ... boots.
The low-cut things that just cover up a pair of low shoes we call rubbers.
