Pacifiers are also called binkies, and in my family we called them "jajas" (with a hard j like judge)

We call condoms in America, ”rubbers” so it’s already used

"so brutal"

Literally what they do. Pacifiers pacify an angry baby.

And eraser literally erases mistakes lmao

What do IELTS have in your nation ? Some questions are boring and tricky intentionally, to be honest, I don't want to answer them in my language, you want to let us expand in English? some questions have been asked out of real life communication, what is the meaning of your IELTS speaking? take the exam more , you IELTS authority earn more money right ? want to make money go against conscience ? It's ridiculous !

So, true. There's nothing cute about the word pacifier. I still prefer Spanish "chupón" lol

Atleast we call a bundle of sticks 'a bundle of sticks' and not a slur
