utencil

今天大家都在写course evaluation的时候，有个人走过来，问我：can i use your writing utencil after you are done?

我愣了下，心想，what the hell is writing utencil? utencil不是叉子勺子的意思么？用来写字的叉子？是什么东西啊？

后来kate告诉我utencil其实就是用具的意思。

然后我就问：can i use your sleeping utencils?

kate就Y笑了起来。。

我说：what are you thinking? i am just saying pillows
