People have wallets in Canada, and in the UK. No difference there. Never heard a female's purse being referred to as a wallet in Canada so I could be wrong. Also briefs and boxers are also common words for mens underwear in the UK, when they are briefs or boxers. Sweater and jumper ditto.

I will definitely give you fanny pack though. Hearing a north American refer to their fanny in the UK is quite frankly hilarious.

One word of warning for all you smokers in Canada though, never ask if you can bum a fag, you'll just get strange looks.
some people call purses wallets in Sask, mens underwear are gitchies or gotches, sweaters are fleeces, bunnyhugs are hoodies. a bin stores grain, a garbage can your trash not rubbish. supper is dinner.
