It's a wok

My grandmother took us shopping for a special pan. We got into the shop - a big department store - and found a sale assistant. Grandma - "I want to buy a yak."
At this point instead of being helpful, my sister, aunt, father and me all burst into laughter.
The sales assistant just stands there gawping.
Eventually we get it sorted out and it goes down in the family memoirs. Now whenever anyone in the family needs to use a wok - we ask for a yak. My parents recently visited and wanted to buy us a new wok - we couldn't decide which one we wanted during their visit so instead, we got a yak!
