"Damn American's and their conversions!"

I'm sure you've all noticed how many different names for everyday items that American's have to us, so let's start a game! I'll get started. British on the left, and American on the right.

Bumper - Fender
Boot - Trunk
Bonnet - Hood
Video Recorder - VCR
Flat - Apartment
Dummy - Passifyer
Nappie - Diaper

Continue - see how many we can get :0)

Actually Edgy bum means more than just that.

e.g. Tramp - Bum

See?

big_slow, you missed what the Americans call a bum!

(note: It's a word beginning with F, that is used to describe female "private" areas in the UK)

So, in the USA, you don't buy a bum bag, you buy a f****-bag! (no joke!)
