    Most of people in Japan haven't referred to the English air conditioner as "Cooler" recently. They refer to it as "aircon".
    I prefer to say "Fried potato" than "Potato fry", but usually refer to it as just "Potato".
    "Decoration cake" is also a little old word in Japan. All cakes in a showcase are fancy enough today!

    I'm surprised they didn't mention the
    stove / heater / gas-コロ / stove conundrum.
    ：P
