ice block (noun):
- Flavoured ice on a small wooden stick; in Canada is called a popsicle.
- Flavoured ice in a long, narrow, clear, plastic bag; in Canada is called a freezie.
In these hot summer months this word has come to frustrate me. There doesn't seem to be separate terms for these two items. If we have both of these things in the freezer and Gavin asks if I would like an ice block there always has to be a clarification of what I actually want. This clarification is always followed by a tirade (by me) about the need for two different terms for these fairly different things. Now we just keep one or the other item in the freezer.
