Terminological trauma

At the brothers' reunion lunch we exchanged recipes. Eldest bro grows butternut squash in hundreds but surprisingly hasn't made the soup. I was reciting from memory my regular, super-easy recipe across the table. I came to a problem though when I had to describe the best way to liquidise the delicious broth. I didn't know what the gadget I use was called.

I tried "sticky thing" which raised quizzical looks. Then I tried "whizzer" with the same result.

Then I remembered what our mum had called anything electrical.

"Zodger!" I declared.

"Oh, zodger...", they all said in unison, knowingly.
