We often put strawberries and whipped cream on ours. <em>Hmm... similar ingredients, but different end results, we have sponge cake too, with fruit and cream. Here's a pic of a trifle that's multiple layers: <img src="http://www.dianasdesserts.com/news/news2005-12/Festive-English-Trifle-Image.jpg" alt="Layered trifle" /> and one that I would call a more traditional trifle: <img src="http://www.gourmet-food-revolution.com/images/SherryTrifle.jpg" alt="Trifle" />. Wikipedia describes it a bit better than I did http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifle. Hope this helps clarify!</em> A trigle sort of sounds like what we call sponge cake.

Here’s a pic of a trifle that’s multiple layers: Layered trifle and one that I would call a more traditional trifle: Trifle.

Okay - so if I understand properly, your 'pegs' are what you attach the clothes to the line with, yes? If I'm assuming correctly, the only word I know for those here are 'clothespins'. As for trifle I know two meanings - one being a desert/treat and the other being a the verb meaning not to be messed with so to say. I am seeing here though per my dictionary widget it's first definition listed is "something of little value or importance." Now you see why I have a dictionary widget that's easily accessible. LOL! <em>That widget sounds like a great idea! I used to have a dictionary handy on my toolbar, but wasn't using it much cos it wasn't that great. Clothespins are the ones! Not a commonly used word in the movies, so I never picked up on that before lol. They are clothespegs in full I'd guess and 'pegs' for short here.</em> Now I get it!
