suspenders are things they sell in victoria's secret

It’s a good thing I have an IQ of more than, say, 70. I mean, some less clever people might find having to relearn the English language a task. They might be constantly chided for asking if anyone wants to “go to the movies” or telling people their “cell phone number.” They might have people mocking them for their curious mid-Atlantic twang and pronounciation of certain words. And they certainly might be a little embarrassed if they asked a male assistant at TopShop where the “suspenders” were, when they actually meant “braces” [the things that hold your trousers up], and got a raised eyebrow in return.
