not so accurate with the present occupant of the Oval Office, but this thread reminded me of:

Americans have different ways of saying things. They say 'elevator', we say 'lift'...they say 'President', we say 'stupid psychopathic git'

I meant to post this for you yesterday:

In a man’s quest to dress well, there remains one nagging concern: looking like a fancy boy.

Boots make the man.

Those are some really nice boots....I won't say how much I paid for some nice Paul Smith boots then if they were saying they were pricey boots

Though I wear my Timberland pair the most in the end and I got them in Freeport for $30, down from $200

Boots = boots... but ALSO Boots the Chemist

How could I forget?! I would be nowhere without my Boots Curling Cream (of which I still have a most excellent stash... )

The implement used just for picking up and throwing loose material--snow, coal, grain, whatever- is a "scoop".

Corridor - Hallway
Car Park - Parking lot
Babys Dummy - Binky
Nappy - Diaper
Fringe - Bangs
Bungalow - Ranch

Sandwich Shop - Subway

Torch = flashlight
skirting board = baseboard
hair clip = barrette (sp?)
curling tongs = curling iron
tap = faucet
pad of paper (for writing on etc) = tablet
scrap paper = scratch paper
windscreen = windshield

Not sure if all those have been mentioned already.

Pudding = Dessert! A desert is an entirely other thing!

going out to party- twisting off (almost sounds rude!)

Also, I was using what looked like a long garden hoe in work last week to scrape the floor- turns out it's called a spudder- cue alot of puzzled faces when I started jabbering on about growing potatoes.....apparantly it's for scraping roofs

Never heard that one - haven't been asked to twist off

Garage = Gas station
Wing [of a car] = Fender
Lucked out = Got really lucky [this one always baffled me]
Lobby = Reception area
Jack stand = Axle stands
Ear buds = Headphones
Pick up game = Kick about
Laundry = Washing
Drapes = Curtains
Butt = Ass
Fall = Autumn
Freeway = Motorway
Soda = Pop
Zip code = Postcode
Gasoline = Petrol

Good luck with the wiki

I thought Fender = Bumper

I thought that, like boats, but it was wrong - I had to get my fender repaired.

Talking of the lobby, I still get confused with storeys of a building, as 1st floor=ground floor.

Here's an easy one:

UK arse = US ass
