I remember, dog's years ago, trying to figure out what the hell a "jumper" was, as it appeared to be quite different than the jumpers we ourselves wore, here in the USA, as kids (a sort of girl's overall, with a skirt bottom rather than pants like work overalls). Man, this one is really dating me....anyway, I think the first time I went looking for that...I wasn't even a teen yet, I'm pretty sure, b/c the jumper thing confused me, due to context.
