While talking about which household chore they dislike the most:
Boy (Australian): "I hate going outside and brushing."
Other kids (grown up in Spain): "Brushing?!"
Boy: "Yes, brushing, you know, brushing the leaves."
Kids: "Oh! Sweeping!"
My brain: "Oh! What? Oh. Raking. Right."

Wait...was he removing leaves from grass, or literally "sweeping" them like from a path?
Nope, he was talking about raking them. But I've been wondering how much those two overlap (at least linguistically).
