I can't find a picture of ferrets carrying tools to go with this post.

[randomness]

My favorite word in Castilian Spanish is ferretería. It means hardware in American, or ironmongery in British English. Because I think like a kid, I imagine ferrets carrying tools every time I see the word. That's pretty often, given how much I visit Home Depot and Lowe's.

(I know, it's all about ferrum. But I said I think like a kid, remember?)

How is it that I've never seen that? Is it different in Latin American Spanish? That word is AWESOME and I am very sad that I have never had the opportunity to think of carpenter ferrets before now :)
