I was having an argument at work yesterday when I asked to borrow a rule and the woman said do you mean a ruler, to which I replied that I mean a rule and went on to explain that a ruler is a king, a rule is a measuring stick. She then looks in the dictionary and it says a ruler is a measuring stick which i then said must be a new addition to the dictionary to cater for the widely used term of ruler used by thick people. I am right aren't I.
