Parkay flooring what?

A friend of mine said that my 4 inch squares of multicolored batiks looked
like parkay flooring.
Does that mean the margarine side of the toast hit the kitchen tiles face
down?

"Butter!"

lifting the lid, "Parkay!"

But seriously folks, does anyone know what parkay flooring is?

It's really spelled parquet. Do a search for "parquet flooring" It's
where you have patterns on your floor made by setting squares, triangles,
rectangles, and other shapes of wood together to get a tiled appearance.

You guys!!! What a hoot! Parquet is a flooring made of wooden tiles;
Parkay is a brand name for margarine.

Parkay flooring is wood laid out in a tile-like pattern. Sometimes the
grain of the wood tiles is alternated giving it a quilot like appearance.

Parquet I think is the spelling. Over here it is usually small rectagonal
blocks of wood ie oak,mahogany,beech ,ash etc laid on the floor in a pattern
"rail fench" herringbone, a really expensive and classy way to cover the
floor! Estelle UK

It's a floor made from wood tiles. We had them through most of the house,
except bathroom and kitchen. We had strips of wood, with wire on the back to
hold them together and then put down like tile. They were a pain when there
was moisture in the air as they would buckle, and be a big lump on the floor
or under the rug. The people who put them in, just put them on the cement
floor with nothing under it and put them down with the wrong glue.We had
them in a fence rail pattern. When they were waxed and polished they did
look really nice.

Thank you all for your responses! The batiks I have are mostly striped sort
of, so I now understand where she got the parquet from. I still prefer
butter.
