Dermit

Hi everyone,

When you misbehave at school, you get a dermit. I heard someone from The Big Bang Theory say it. I wonder if it could be used in British English as well.

If you were asked to estimate the value of a property and your appraisal would exceed the real worth of the property, what verb would you use? I suppose that 'overestimate' wouldn't quite work in this case.

Do you wear round toe or rounded toe shoes? Can I also say that the shoes have a rounded toe?

Thank you! Emotion: smile
