Spot on. He didn't ask you to keep a copy for him by chance?

Just one of those things that come up in conversation in the MAXXX household
What do YOU call it? Crayon or coloured pencil - or something else?

We're posh and have both. Coloured pencils are just that, pencils with a coloured 'lead'. Crayons are the wax things that get trodden into the good carpets and can never be fully removed.

I agree.
Except I don't have any good carpets.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

That's my take, too (although we don't have carpets, living in a posh Queenslander with wooden floorboards, but Mrs. Maxxx called them crayons in her youth, not coloured pencils.

I wouldn't want to be the one to tell her she's wrong - good luck !

I would say something about being uncouth, but taking into account that you're too far south, that would be considered socially insensitive.

I seem to remember my mother calling them both something along the lines of [snip - Decency Police]. It took sometime for my youthful self to work out that that was the only name of crayons/pencils when used to create impromptu murals in the living room!

I've known coloured pencils to also be called 'pencil crayons' but never just 'crayons', which are the waxy things.
|

Crayons were always the coloured wax.
Pencil crayons or coloured pencils were interchangeable terms for the wood encased coloured 'lead'.

'something else'
|
|
|
|

In English, in my experience, a crayon is a wax pencil (TM crayola) wrapped in paper and a pencil is a led core encased in wood (black or colored).
In french, crayon can be both led (and colored) pencil and if you want to specify was, then it is a "wax crayon" (crayon de cire)
I'd rather be phishing!

The ones that the dog eats are crayons, the ones that the cat eat are the colored pencils. In either case the gastric after effects are somewhat colorful.

They're completely different things. These[^] are colored pencils and these[^] are crayons. Colored pencils are made out of graphite ("lead"), while crayons are made from a wax based material.

I think you forgot the joke icon. Either that or you're thinking of ordinary grey-leads.
How It's made - Colored Pencils[^]
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

It depends on which I'm talking about; the two are entirely different products. Crayons are wax-based markers which carry colorants, while colored pencils are more like chalk, as in sintered, finely powdered colorants. No relation.
