    Sharpener
    Certainly a topper with us.
    If we ever had a teacher that started on about a pencil sharpener. You’d know she was from a city or she had notions about herself.
    We had one teacher who use always start talking about here sharpener/eraser but she also called play school Kindergarten.

    Topper
    Was always a pencil parer for me growing up in Meath. Didn't hear the term "topper" till someone from Cork used it in college.

    Topper
    It's a parer but you're not meant to ever actually see the word written down.
