peer agreement (net): +4tankstation and benzintank Explanation: - Both mean gas station. - "Tankstation" is the more technical term and not much used by its users. - "Tank" is what users normally say. - "Benzintank" is becoming obsolete. It dates back to the time when gas stations were much smaller and often had only one pump. (There i a Danish movie from 1960 called "Baronessen fra benzintanken", which means "The baroness from the gas station". Reference: http://www.danskefilm.dk/index2.html |
