I have absolutely no idea what you could possibly mean, Daydream. However, on a similar note...
I was the breakfast announcer on a community radio station for a couple of years and one morning a woman phoned in (off air) and asked if I thought she should shave. I played dumb and said, "I think shaved legs look very nice." She pointed out that she didn't mean her legs. "Oh, well yes. Hairy armpits can be a turn-off. You should certainly shave there." No, she didn't mean her armpits. I was aghast! "You don't mean you're a bearded lady?"
When I was a kid, about 1950, cars were so cheap that everybody who wanted one could have one. In a family of ten persons, we owned eight cars.
In Russia they showed "Grapes Of Wrath" to the proletarians so they could see how the working class was oppressed in America. What the people saw was that in America even the poorest family could own a car.
Now, for some reason, a car is expensive, even aside from the purchase price. Insurance, permits, and repairs typically cost a considerable fraction of a car's value every year, even if you don't drive much.
There were a lot of lies told about lifestyles in the West (and in the USSR for that matter) but they don't stand up to exposure in the movies, do they?
OK, we've earmarked your coffee pot for the scrap heap. But you don't have to do with your porn allowance in the woods. Haven't you ever heard of bear porn?

Crockpot can be handy. Ours died about 20 years ago and we never bothered to replace it. Must think about that -- they can turn out some interesting meals.
Wireless or wired net connection Didge, I used to be a book worm....I would read bulky books in no time but now this net addiction is more of a hinderance it curtails my creativity. I try and be away from net too, sometimes it works...sometimes not!
Does the appliance have to be electrical, because I was given one of the most useless appliances imaginable a while back and I'm still uncomprehending of its uselessness :)
Essentially it was a reasonably sized bomb. It was supposed to be a pasta-cooking utensil which self-heated (pretty useless in itself) but the instructions thst came with this thing advised that you should be within close proximity to a hospital when you used it. Very odd.
