The locomotion mechanism stables
Also: "Roller Holder"
It's actually gay-raj.
Languidge or Languahge? Petition for consistency!
Lang Wedge.
Car coffin?
But gare-ij actually sound more like mispelled Indian English.
Gare idge is what OP was going for phonetically.
British accents are non-rhotic, so really it should be "ga-ridge", not "gare-ridge".
British accents are non-rhotic
Except the ones that aren't
True, albeit a very small minority.
Sure, but -ji is a commonly used honorific in Hindi and related languages.
Now that I think about it, I'm surprised that the British term for garage isn't "motor home."
A motor home is like a camper van, what you'd call an RV
lol when my kid was like three or four he’d watch some British cartoon called “gecko’s garage “ or something, and they’d pronounce it “garridge.” So my kid started saying it that way.
One day I’m driving him somewhere and he asks me “daddy, why didn’t you park the car in the garridge?”
“It’s a garage.”
“Garridge!”
“No. Say ga-raage.”
“Garridge!”
“GARAGE! We’re not British!”
“No! Garridge…”.
“Ugh! Whatever!”
“We’re having a quarrel! :-D “
Cromulent response.
Well, as long as you didn't get cross about it. :P
Carport.
Not objectively the same thing, tho. Potential intruders can peer into a carport, without even committing trespassing. If they want to see into your car-hole, they have to already commit themselves to breaking the law, before they even consider stealing your whip.
Garridge
Plain, simple Garridge.
