serviettes
Dining lap cloths
Serviettes are table napkins—cloths or paper squares used to wipe hands and mouth during meals.
The term is standard in British, Canadian, and Australian English, where *napkin* may sound American or pretentious.
In American English, *serviette* sounds foreign or affected: Could you pass me a serviette?
