Pantomime in the sense of Cinderella, Aladdin, etc. is a foreign concept to U.S. Americans. At least I never heard of it in that sense until I started watching the BBC.
Exactly that. Oh well, I learnt something today.
Hm, that doesn't look that weird to me, from where I sit in New Jersey, USA. Are you thinking of this meaning?
WeirdNET: 'a performance using gestures and body movements without words'.
Oh no it isn't! (Though a mime is.)
Edit: actually, Dictionary.com uses a similar primary definition. Is this a 'rest of the world' thing?
