No, a hoodie is a 'sweat jacket' with a hood on it. It is usually a fleece.
I realised that by now, thanks [8|] [:D]
damn lost in translation happened already in 2005 when I was out with my ex. I liked a heck of a lot a particular tea storage container (made from porcellaine) with a cat on it in a bit of a more expensive shop...and could not afford it (had to count my pennies wisely with 13.50 a week left for food)...so my ex whom I was dating at that time gave me a treat and wanted me to show it to him....that theme was already off their shelves by then and so he suggested to ask for it at the counter....I had named it "tea pot"....so needless to say, the friendly staff member came out with a tea pot....which of course was not what I meant [>:]
I then explained what I meant and my ex had a heck of a good laugh, apologising to him that I was lost in translation [8|]
He has his laugh about me sometimes in that respect, I refuse by now to say the word "dough balls" to him when we order that as starters as it was too mean how he laughed when I (tried to) pronounce it the first time [>:] Since then I just say "you know what to order..."
