June bugs don't fit in the bug zapper at the in-laws. We've tried. NS deck parties are the best!!

Do you say deck, patio or veranda in the US?

Yeah, but they are still pretty gross.

@Robyn: Aren't those three different things?

I say deck, but I'm biased? I think most people probably say patio around here.

Laurie, 'round here I've heard people of different ages refer to the same thing as all three. How would you define each?

Veranda and deck are closely related in my books, but when I hear "patio" I think of a stone/cement flooring or a deck attached to an eating establishment.

I like junebugs. They don't bite, they're soft and fuzzy, and their eyes light up when you shine a light into them. Basically, they're exactly like kittens, except disgusting.

@Robyn,

Yeah, a deck is a larger, wood thingy that is up off the ground. A patio is a slab of concrete the poor use to cook fatback and drink fortified wine.

@Roybn and @VA: Yeah, what Andrew said is pretty much what I was thinking. And a veranda is something to rich and fancy for me to understand.

where the poor cook, I should have said.

Laurie is correct. A veranda is where the rich hold their sinful bacchanals and pray to Satan.
