From the Holy Gospels:

DENNIS:
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR:
Be quiet!
DENNIS:
Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR:
Shut up!
DENNIS:
I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
ARTHUR: Shut up! Shut up!

that's surprising to me; it's certainly not the case in the states. A "swimming pool" could be either indoor or outdoor, but indoor is less common, so we would usually say "indoor swimming pool." So, you have different words for indoor and outdoor swimming pools? That's efficient!

Speak for your own part of The States :lol: in Michigan, unless it's midsummer, it's obvious the pool is going to be indoors

Maybe for schools or the YMCA, but of the millions of people with home pools, very few are indoors.

For a pedant, you're awfully sloppy. Here, the "millions" of backyards pool owners would call them just that -pools- not swimming pools. Swimming pool implies large implies indoors in Michigan, which was the terminology being discussed even though I abbreviated it in my post. which was a lighthearted comment anyway. ymmv, ysohmbb :rolleyes:

Gee, my High School had a sign that said "POOL". :p

Crocodile horsey doover trays.

I had to read it twice, but then I :biglaugha

Why?

Eco friendly? Huh, how many mahogany stained plywood trees had to die to make that deck?

The one at camp said

OOL: Note there is no P in it.
Please keep it that way.

Alternately:

"It's spelled PSWIMMING."

"What? I can't hear any P in swimming."

"Right, the pee in swimming is silent."
