I started reading when The Goblet of Fire first came out and I still have no idea what a jumper is. I tried looking it up but only found these weird fleece skirts with suspenders in strange colors.

It's British for sweater.

Ayrt: Thank you! That makes sense. Now I suppose I can just be confused why the internet gave me suspender skirts when I did a search.

Because that is an American "jumper". They're like a cross between overalls and dresses. Like this one.

>:[ that is such a stupid thing to be called a jumper. /unexpected word rage

[meredith44]

I was curious, so I looked it up. here is one explanation. Here is another. I still am not entirely sure how it came to be like that though, as it seems odd to go from "short coat" to that kind of dress.

What about a sweater suggests anything involving jumping, though...? Neither of them seem like things you'd call a 'jumper'. "Sweater" at least makes sense.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's the same as a sweater, more or less.

Can we just use the British definition?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm American, but I lived in Jamaica as a child, so I use some Commonwealth English words because those were the words I learned, and I'm middle-aged now, and have lived in the USA for 30 years, and I still couldn't tell you what "jumper" means in the USA. It just makes no sense to me.
