The very proper hosts with very proper British accents paused for a few seconds and then very politely asked "...a what?" And I stammered something like "uhhh... a lorry? Is that a lorry?"

And then they cut in me saying "lorry" in a different tone of voice over "semi truck" and it doesn't even make sense. Wish me luck with my English words today!
