Hi My answers would be ... 1) Door-stop 2) Plug 3) Yes, I think you can call it a sink or a basin. Maybe, "sink" is more usual for the kitchen and "basin" for the bathroom 4) Pencil shavings 5) In the UK: I would say "pants" for men (but in the US this means trousers); for women, I think the word "knickers" is often used 6) Eye mask Dave

Hi all,
Thanks a lot for giving me these answers.
1. Is doorstopper a British usage?
2. I forgot to ask what is the thing you call that comes off an eraser when you rub it on a piece of paper.
Thanks

1. "Doorstopper" is not a word anywhere. It's "doorstop".
2. I don't know of a term for that. Crumbs, maybe.
An eyeshade is what the old bank tellers used to wear, a sort of headband with a tinted clear visor. It is not the blindfold you wear to bed.

Enoon in much of the US it is called an eye shade and they are sold under that name. I agree doorstop is correct, not doorstopper. As for the last question I've heard it called eraser dust, but I am not sure how common that is or if there is another term.
