- Wellies = Rain Boots (I said "I need rain boots" the other day and a British person was like...you need what?!" They had no idea what I was talking about and didn't make the obvious connection until after I explained.)
- Pavement = Sidewalk
- Lorry = Truck (I had to google this one after seeing it in a local paper.)
- Coach = Bus that takes you a longer distance than a city bus
- Underground = Subway (if you say Subway they assume you mean the sandwich place, which apparently does exist here somewhere.)

- Jumper = Sweater
- Boot = Trunk of a car

- Half Ten/Half Twelve = 10:30/12:30. They don't say it like we do, "ten thirty" or "twelve thirty"
- "In a bad way" = not well, not feeling good, doing badly. Saw it in an article about a cyclist who got hit by a car. Also heard it being used to describe someone's drunken night out when they drank far too much.
