What do they say? Press the windows down?


Open the windows I'd imagine.


Lower the window? Applies to today and to the past...

Technically the fundamental mechanics of the window function have not changed i.e. it still uses a roller hence "roll the window down"

The mechanism inside the door is rolling to pull or push the window up or down.

Even if the kids don't understand old manual windows with a turn handle; they should understand that the motor function for most windows operates on gears that rolls the window pane up and down.

Mine does as well, and its a 2011, not like its ancient. Truck we use at work isn't much older and also has manual windows. I mean it isn't the norm these days but clearly not unheard of. >_>

Taking has multiple definitions. It doesn't always mean claiming possession. Some instances, such as this, it means performing an action. Taking a drive, for example is another incarnation of the word "take" being used to mean engaging in an specific action not associated with removal or some form of possession.


tak·ing
&#712;t&#257;kiNG/
noun
noun: taking; plural noun: takings


make, undertake, or perform (an action or task).
"Lucy took a deep breath"
synonyms:carry out, do, complete, write, conduct, perform, execute, discharge, accomplish, fulfill
"applicants must take a test"

If there was a dick in your mouth, would you take it or leave it.

Until 2 months ago my car had manually rolling windows. It's still very much a thing.

Some families have very old cars.

That's how you say it everywhere. That's the point. That and hang up the phone, etc. It's just how you say it, which prompts the question, why? It makes no sense? You can't blame a kid for not knowing how things used to be.
