@Mame,
rubbers are something you wear on your feet when it's raining

True.
And I have to buy the SUPER MAX size in order to get them not to tear as I pull them over the laces of my running shoes.
I have to buy a lot of them.
The cashier girls at the DrugStore are the friendliest!

@Mame,
Rubbers are what you erase pencils with.
Condoms...or phrangers.
Re sunbathing I was thinking of what I would call it nowadays.
It was sunbathing, it wasn't lounging, I filled in the blank, "I going to...."
Not saying yet what it is, I just separately asked a younger (27), and an older (55ish) coworker "what would you say you were doing if it was a sunny day, and you were going to put on your bathing/swimsuit and go over to the park or lake to um...you know...get a tan?
27 immediately said "lay out"
55 thought and said "well, sunbathing....I don't know, probably lay out, especially if it was by the pool"
That is what I first thought as to the above.
"I'm going to go lay out"
Growing up in NJ on the Shore, of course we mostly said "I'm going to the beach" But, if you were going to be in your backyard, I think we said lay out back then too.
glue or paste
in my mind, paste is something you used in primary grades (1 - 4) and you used glue after that

I've never heard of grinder before.
@djjd62,
I think of glue as fluid, and paste as something so viscous that it doesn't flow.
dinner or supper?
family room or living room?
@Mame,
a friends parents had a living room where they entertained guests, and a family room where they had a tv, book cases that kind of stuff, in our house we would have called that room a den
@djjd62,
you were raised by wolves, too?

I picture a den as a room that belongs to primarily one person, where he can go and behave like the rabid wolverine he is, and not destroy the rest of the house....I guess today it's called a man cave.
In my house, we have the living room and the library.
The library is separated from the living room by 2 small steps, and 2 faux pillars with lions on them. They are guarding the entrance.

I used to say dinner for the evening meal, when I was growing up.
Now I say supper.
Dinner is the mid-day meal (although I say lunch), supper is the evening meal.
Picture men going off to work with their dinner buckets.
Grinders are sold in Connecticut.
People in New Jersey lay out at the shore, everybody else goes to the beach.
