What word do people use for the following words? I'm getting different answers when I search online

  1. Sweatpants
  2. Pickles
  3. Braces (for teeth)
  4. Dull (opposite of shiny)
  5. To get gas

Feel free to answer only a few words if you don't know all of them! Any help would be appreciated.

There are a bunch of names for sweatpants. It depends where you are. here's a link to what is on SD.

sweatpants

Same with "pickles" In some areas they are called pepinillos in others, they use the English word "pickles." There are a few more. Here's the link.

Pickles

Braces for teeth are called either "llaves para los dientes" or "tirantes" para dientes.

"Dull" is "apagado"

To get gas (for the car) is "conseguir gasolina" o "comprar gasolina."
