Carfield

Carfield: noun. Although it may seem like a quite rational assumption, a carfield is not a fat and orange cat that derives pleasure from eating lasagnes and kicking pesky dogs while riding or driving a car. Quite the contrary, a carfield is simply the word for “car park” or “parking lot.” The reason why this new word was invented is unknown, but anglolologists hypothesise that the word was sneakily sneaked into the vocabulary of native English speakers to prevent passionate arguments between the Brits and the Americans over which term is to be used.
