    You are correct, I wrote it as “steal” on purpose, because I am arrogant and I like to arrogantly impose my American vocabulary on British and other English speaking non-American people.
    You read it once, now you’ll be forced to say “steal” for the rest of your life. This is my master plan.

      Ah crap you got me, I don’t even remember the British term anymore.

      Possibly that’s related to me not knowing the term in the first place, because we don’t use British English here either. Or any English, for that matter.
