I might have confused some of you. I meant what are braces called in the US, not trousers.

You can all have another try if you have an idea of the answer....

Brace

caliper

Braces

suspenders

Suspenders

Braces had many senses, which one you looking for ?

Yes, that's very confusing.

There are also braces for teeth.

pucker up

I think you should make it clear which word you are asking for.

i think if you read the question carefuly you will know..it is something to do with trouser which i think 'suspender' is the correct one..

teeth is notthing to do with trouser...LOL



realist is with correct answer...i can show you the proof at end of the contest...if you wish..

Galluses

Why do you laugh? Are you laughing at yourself?



No need, I already edited my post smart one.

Yes he is correct but the question is confusing. We've all thought he asking for TROUSERS.

chill out jessica..we are here for a little fun..cant i laugh??

not sure am i laughing for myself..but i am laughing because teeth maybe needed to hang the trouser..

Why do you bother responding to that fool (thebigone)? thebigone is just a joke on this board who is always present every minute in the MMG cash giveaways folder. ha ha ha.

I'm cool it's just frustrating that the question wasn't clear. I thought he was asking for trousers. But you don't need to laugh to others mistake because you aren't perfect too.

HEY !!!

Calm down guys, we are passing a fun time here ... NO need for offensive posts !!!

Support you, and it is not that much money
The world do not dissaper under your feets if you do not win

jessica sorry if your feel offended i am really sorry..i not really LOL..but it is just a expression i often use at the end of my sentence though..i apologise for that..dont be so serious ok??

berrylicious;

i dont know why you call me a fool(you can call me that if you are genius though or if you can beat me)??because i always present every minute in the MMG cash giveaways folder???if you are not here every minutes then how would you know that??LOL

is that only me present here everytime??i had seen many ppl do appear here every time for contest...

PS:i do agree with you 'LOL' is not appropriate sometimes..but i do apologies...is calling someone a fool you called better than LOL??do you apologise to me??
fyi,i just speak out that realist question is not wrong but just confusing just now..

we are all having fun but bigone is a little bit annoying. i find this guy always laughs at somebody's mistake which is not appropriate in my opinion.

I'm okay it's just that I thought I've already won the last question that got me frustrated when I found out that it wasn't the word realist was asking for LOL!

see,you use 'LOL' also..LOL..sometimes it can make a sentence to be more casual rather than serious..

i dont know how other out there interpreted it..but me as a teenager which always use MSN to chat use LOL really really often..at least i dont call someone fool..i am really frust on this..how high of education the person said so when calling someone that??funny.

If you look at posts 17 then 21 it should have been obvious which `braces` I was looking for..

noob-investor got it right, suspenders

Final question of this contest.
