Another Britishism Uncloaked by Top Gear

OK, I'll fess up to not knowing what a "lorry" was until this past week's episode of the BBC2 series Top Gear. (Spoiler: It's a big truck.) And to think that I stumbled ignorantly through nearly 37 years of life without ever bothering to discover this detail... Furthering my personal shame is the realization that I've owned an LP by that band Red Lorry Yellow Lorry since high school. Oof.

Curse my ignorant and lazy ways, and then enjoy this clip of the latest Top Gear challenge. It easily ranks among the show's best and funniest ever.
