this is a good of a thread as any for this, I guess my husband got me some colored pencils for christmas and I was like oh neat thanks but he called them 'map pencils' and apparently that's just what they're called in his part of texas? why????? every time he says it I have to take a second to figure out what the gently caress he said I'm an artist, we've been together for over four years, and this has only come up now, too

Yeah it seems there's no simple one word term for them in the US. Sometimes they'll be called a "parking ramp" or a "parking structure" or a "parking deck" . Parkade is universal for any sort of structure you park cars in that isn't a basic surface parking lot. So that 8 story tall above ground thing? Parkade. The single basement level under a condo with parking? Parkade. Sometimes you'll clarify saying "underground parkade" but generally just the single word is enough and people figure out the context. I guess it's a bit like lacking a single word for "woolen winter cap"

Where I'm from colored pencils are called leads and wool hats are called toques if they have a pompom on top, a beanie/cap otherwise.

I've always just heard pencil crayons or coloured pencil, but I really like "map pencils". This isn't for your Spiderman colouring book, this is for serious cartography work!!! The green hatching on the map indicates areas in my D&D campaign with majority orc demographics!!
