words that arent used in amerian but in england

there are so many words that are not used in america to describe objects or items that are used in england... ie lemonade = sprite, lift=elevator..

what can u come up with...

Loo, lorrie (sp?), telly...among others

trolly=shopping cart
chips=french fries
...

Spy glass=Magnifying glass (not sure on this)

mobile=cell
trousers=pants
pants=panties
fag=cigarette/cig/smoke
jelly=jello
bloke=guy

i think jello is more like jam than jelly

Bitish=American:

braces=suspenders
pavement=sidewalk
verge=median
windscreen=windshield
boot=trunk
bonnet=hood
toilet=bath/restroom
italian sandwich=sub sandwich
etc., etc., etc...

I thought the central reservation was the median Clark?

Andrew, maybe I am wrong. And now that I think about it, the verge is the thing that is on either side of the roads (I think).

British=American
tin=can
chin wag=chat(chatting)
bullocks=bullshit/f**k
wanker=f**ker/a**hole
mind=watch (ie., [Am]Watch your step! [Brit.] Mind your step!)

cardigan=sweater
biscuit=cookie
crisps=chips
dear=expensive
etc., etc., etc...

pissed=drunk
puf=gay

?????
I may be wrong...

All your other stuff Clark is perfect though!! :-)

Does anyone know what a "git" means in England?

Andrew, thanks.

Now, how about some Cockney Ryme and Slang?

apples and pairs=up the stairs
dog and bone=telephone
china plate=mate

...and I will have more in the future, as none of my relatives come from London :-P

I was just thinking of this one:

When using the telephone;

British=American

engaged=busy

A 'git' is just someone who gets in your way or is annoying, our teacher uses it a lot!!
