vs. 
I chatted with a few gals from the UK today. I found that even though we both speak English, they seem to have quite a few different words for things than we do. Here are a few I learned in the last few days and mostly today:
| United States English | United Kingdom English |
| Flyover (the road going over the freeways) | Carriageway |
| Truck | Lorry |
| Pants | Trousers |
| Underwear | Pants |
| Fanny-Pack | Bum Bag |
| Shopping Cart | Trolley |
| Stroller | Push-Chair or Buggy |
| Kindergarten | Year 1 |
| Trunk | Boot |
| Gas | Petrol |
| Suspenders | Braces |
| Diaper | Nappy |
| Appliances | White Goods |
| Vagina | Fanny |
Be careful what you say…..
