Asked me once to park my fanny. I did not know where to look or actually what to do.

I remember two Canadian tourists walking up kings cross in Sydney with t-shirts saying 'roots' a sportswear company logo i believe

Yanks root for their team.

Brits root anything that has a heartbeat.

War looking for peace,

is like fornication looking for virginity.

Oh My God (British ) is Now "What The FCUK"

Jesus (British) (when some one scares you from behind) is Now "FCUK"

Mr. (British) is now "DUDE"

Colour is COLOR

Two peoples seperated by a common language..

Good examples - "Rubber" and "Fanny"

"Americans call it a potato, Brits call it a murphy...or is that the Irish who call it a murphy?

"

Spud, Tater, Tattie, and we also call it a potato!

"Americans call him a policeman, I think Brits call him a bobby.

"

Pig, copper, razzer, fuzz, plod, narc, boys in blue.

"Americans call it the bathroom or toilet"

Also can & john while Brits use bog, khazi, shitter, pisser, lavvie, smallest room.

I think the Murphy thing for a potato may be Irish but I have never heared of it and a policeman is only called a bobby in pre 1960's films but good examples lady jane, we have a windscreen instead of a windsheild too

Keep them coming :-)

Keep Smiling :-) you never know who is looking

I learnt (and I only speak) ABC english. Meaning very basic one.

I learnt from work / working with foreigners all around the world: german, french, danish, finish, russian, etc...

So finally, as for all us the english is not our mother language, we share a very basic (and very technical) english with plain accent and no very difficult vocabulary.

xD

BTW - CNN, TV in general, series and movies are usefull too to learn.

Another different word: roundabout vs circle.

War looking for peace,

is like fornication looking for virginity.

...came to the US from Norwich, England, in 1914, I can think of a few: (Brits, please correct me if I get any of these wrong. Of course, some of them may be expressions from a time gone by.)

Americans call it a cookie, Brits call it a biscuit.

Americans call it a stroller, Brits call it a pram.

Americans call it the bathroom or toilet, Brits call it the loo.

'Spend a penny' in England also used to mean to go to the bathroom.

Brits call it a push chair, Americans call it a wheelchair or a stroller.

Americans call him a policeman, I think Brits call him a bobby.

Americans call it a potato, Brits call it a murphy...or is that the Irish who call it a murphy?

I'll think of some more.
