One thing that has really annoyed me is the use of the word "toilet" in Europe, as in, "Where is the toilet located?" I dunno... that just seems so... coarse. Vulgar maybe? I much prefer "bathroom" or "restroom" or "powder room;" it places a little bit of distance between the person you are conversing with and the bodily function you are about to perform.
There is also:
aubergine = eggplant
courgette = zucchini
boot = car trunk
jumper = sweater
bloke = dude
chemist = pharmacy
underground = subway
lift = elevator
rubbish = garbage
car park = garage
cheeky = sassy
tits up = messed up
I also think the British women tend to call each other "cows" for some reason. Is that tantamount to the "b" word?
An
Irish person called me a "ride" the other day. I have
no idea what that means.
