Do You Know the Words We Know? -

Can someone tell me what these words mean? I know the answer, mind you.
The purpose of this thread is to show you that if you keep asking "What's the Japanese word for ~~~?" as a vocabulary-building method, you will never get to know many of the important words that every average Japanese knows and uses on a daily basis because you won't ever even wonder what the Japanese call something that is non-existent in your culture and/or language.
Consider my personal experience. It took me a decade since I started studying English to learn the simple, often-used English word "prom". Why? Because there is no such thing as a prom in Japan; therefore, I had never even wondered how to say it in English.
Anyway, enough ranting. Someone tell me what these words mean. You can use anything. Please pretend that I know little Japanese.
