Yesterday:
My boss: How do you spell 'zucchini'?
Me: C-O-U-R-G-E-T-T-E.
My boss: No, zucchini. It's what Americans call courgettes.

Courgette? I have to admit to never having even heard of that one.
Zucchini? Never heard of it... ;)
I've never heard of a courgette, either. We call those yummy veggies zucchini on this side of the pond! :)
