I still don't get it... whenever I ask someone for Juice/orange juice they bring me damn squash , even in fine establishments they usually look at me like I'm weird and they bring me the God damn disgusting squash even I would never ask for such thing...
When someone offers me tea/coffee or juice in their house I say sure to the juice= but they bring me the squash thing... frown
I'm confused...

Seriously wtf? How do you call 100% pure orange fruit juice for example? squeezed from actual fruit not some junk you mix up with tap water..

So let me get this straight - it's happened to you on several occasions yet you still haven't modified your vocabulary to stop it happening again? I see where the problem might be.

If you nip down the shop the hint is on the carton - "fresh orange" as we call it.
But WHY would you call that squash thing a Juice?
If I ask someone '' I want Juice'' , They bring me squash... wtf? I never asked for squash, I asked for Juice..
