The other day Younger Daughter was watching an old Downton Abbey episode. (Yes, I've gotten her into it.) She said:
YD: "I like this scene, where Sybil walks down the stairs wearing her new frog."
Me (thinking hard): "What? ... It's not a frog, honey, it's a frock. It's just another word for a dress."
YD: "Oh, frock, OK ... actually, I was wondering why she would wear a new frog."
