ah, I'm sorry folks. we're obviously being taught some rather nonexistent names (or not in use?)
I've checked and there are rainworms - but it mainly refers to the earthworms driven out by a heavy rain.

I remember once someone here was talking about their element catching fire.
That one completely stumped me until I worked out they were talking about the burner on their stove.

Stove = cooker
we don't have a burner as it's not gas , it's an electric element under glass

as far as earthworms are concerned, we call them "gliste". burners on the stoves "plamenici"
but i'm never sure, for example, is it "ladybirds" or "ladybugs"?
