- True
We say "truck." They say "lorie."
We say "Semi-truck." They say "reticulated lorie."
- Not quite - What you call a truck, we would also call a truck, OR a Lorry (note the spelling). What you call a Semi, we call an ARTICULATED Lorry( which just means the cab moves seperately from the trailer). But nobody says articulated, everybody just says Lorry, whatever kind it is.
We say "french fries." They say "chips."
-True. And what you call chips, we call crisps
We say "soccer." They say "football."
Wrong. The name of the game is and always has been Footbal. YOU call it 'soccer'
We say "baby stroller." They say "pramulator."
-Not really. We call it a buggy or the old style ones like in the cartoons we would call that a Pram (which is short for Pramulator but nobody says that)
We say "gas station." They say "petrol station."
-True. We call it Petrol (short for Petroleum) while you guys call it Gas (short for gasoline)
We say "piece of paper." They say "piece of parchment."
Definitely wrong. We call it a piece of paper. What do you think England is? A time warp to the 1700s?
