What has always gotten me, and I make every effort to correct...
Is why, in a restaurant, people ask for "the check"?
I have always asked for the bill. They aren't exactly writing me a check are they?

I think the little notepads wait staff used to use to write down your order was called a check pad, thus, asking for the check.

What do they call Brazil nuts in Brazil?

Nuts
