A 67 year old lady at my job keeps calling the binder we share a tablet and every time she asks for it, I’m like, “what tablet?”. Yesterday I told her it’s a binder and she said it was called a tablet before my time. But all my grandparents are around the same age and they all call them binders. Was it a regional thing maybe? We’re in the US by the way.
Binder as in the thing that holds papers?
Yeah, we use an empty binder as a door stopper.
With no paper involved, “tablet” makes even less sense. I’m quite old, it’s not an age thing.
Given how you’re using it, you could further confuse her by calling it a “chock.”
Gotcha. Well, I’ve never heard it called a tablet around where I live, so that’s a new thing for me. To me a tablet is flat and most binders (three ring binders) have a sort of triangular profile so I would have been confused too lol
