When I was around 8 or 9, we moved to a new place about 1500 miles away. (Interestingly, the schools were a good year behind the area we moved from.)
The move was from north to south. I was used to wearing rubbers up north when it was slushy outside or the like.
When I used that term in the new area I lived in, all of the kids who knew the alternate meaning (in my opinion, way too many for that age group) started laughing. I didn’t know the alternate meaning, so it was pretty confusing.
I’m glad a teacher backed me up on the only meaning I knew of the word.
