While making french toast, I asked one of the kids to hand me a church key to open the can of milk and one child handed me the kitchen knife, the other just looked at me like I had two heads.  The housemate went to the utility drawer and came back with the "triangle punch things".  Both kids had to have the explaination as to why the triangular punch can opener was called a "church key".

!! It's the other end of the thing that is the 'church key'- the end 
that you use to open bottles with. And I learned the term from SCA 
friends here who are actually younger than I am (though we are getting 
to the age where 5-8 years difference really doesn't make much of a 
difference...).
