Rollerboard or Foll-Aboard? The Luggage Debate is Finally Settled.

크리스틴쌤: There was a time. When there were only two rollers.
카메론쌤: Two rollers?
크리스틴쌤: Two rollers on one piece of luggage. And you’d have to take out the handle. You’d roll it.
카메론쌤: It couldn’t be verticle. You had to drag it.
크리스틴쌤: Now, you’ve got people kind of pushing their luggage around because of those four rollers. And so, there’s a name for them.
카메론쌤: Oh really?
크리스틴쌤: Yeah. So the debate today is “Is it rollerboard or roll aboard?”
카메론쌤: I don’t know which it is. We have to find out.
크리스틴쌤: Okay, the rollerboard is one word. The second one is roll-aboard.
카메론쌤: roll it and go on to the plane, essentially.

[Article] Rollerboard or Roll-Aboard? The Luggage Debate is Finally Settled. Rollerboard 혹은 Roll-Aboard? Luggage 논쟁이 마침내 해결됐다.  If you are like most people, you’ve been calling your small carry-on suitcase a rollerboard. In fact, I hear that flight attendance say it all the time. Most of us follow suit when travel professionals say something. I was surprised when a friend corrected me and told me the proper name was roll-aboard. I always fancied myself as a travel expert so I had to investigate. It turns out the term roll-aboard was used by luggage companies as early as 1985 and wasn't trademarked in 1991. The term rollerboard was in use much until in mid-1990s.
** carry-on 기내 수화물
** fancy 좋아하다; 관심을 가지다;신경쓰다. care for; like
여러분이 대부분의 사람들과 같다면, 작은 기내용 수화물 가방을 rollerboard라고 한다. 사실, 비행기 승무원들이 항상 그렇게 말하는 걸 들었다. 우리들 대부분은 여행을 직업으로 하는 사람들이 뭔가를 말하면 그냥 따라한다. 내 친구가 적합한 명칭이 roll-aboard라고 말하고 수정해줬을 때 나는 놀랐다. 나 자신을 여행전문가라고 생각했기에 나는 조사해야 했다. “roll-aboard”라는 용어는 일찍이 1985년 많은 여행가방(luggage)회사들이 사용했고, 1991년에 트레이드마크(상표) 등록이 된 것으로 나타났다. “rollerboard”라는 용어는 1990년대 중반까지 많이 사용되지 않았다.

카메론쌤: When I first came to Korea, I didn’t know what to do when I went to a restaurant. So I just looked around, oh people are getting them water themselves, oh people are getting Kimchi by themselves. So I did the same. I followed suit by watching the other customer.
크리스틴쌤: And sometimes you got the hidden spoons and chopsticks.
카메론쌤: Another thing, 목욕탕, the public bath. What do I do? I haver no clothes on. I have no idea what to do. Just look around and follow suit. Okay we take a shower and we put the towel on head.
크리스틴쌤: So, obviously, you follow suit. Basically you follow the people who seem to know what they’re doing. That’s basically the idea to follow suit. I think when you’re travelling, this is really good thing to do sometimes. Sometimes instead of asking, you can not ask anybody and your English is not good enough.
