Those handy cellphones

When I got a Swiss sim card for my cellphone, I sent Pim an SMS: "Ich habe ein handy."
His reply: "Das ist gut, oder handy."

Yes, 28 out of 32 of you knew the answer: a handy is a cellphone. Thanks for voting in the poll, or rather, answering the quiz question - I'll try to come up with a new one soonish.

In German-English, what does "beamer" mean?

Well 14 out of 24 of you guessed correctly: the answer is "a data projector". But my heart is with the maverick who said it was "a large grin" ;)

Thanks for all your votes, and keep reading: I´ll post another poll in the next couple of days.

Okay, it´s been rather longer than a month... But I thought it was kind of fitting to post the results of this highly pertinent poll on Super Tuesday. For those of you who´ve suspended your lives until you know the answer to this all-important linguistic question: it´s "a tumble-dryer".

Three out of ten people guessed correctly, so congratulations to you clever folk!
