- Dodgems = Bumper Cars
- Crumpet = this thing that is KIND OF like an english muffin but not really, and is made differently and isn't flaky. English muffins don't really exist here.
- crimbo = christmas
- biscuit = cookie. regular american flaky biscuits don't exist here.
- stag do = bachelor party
- hen party = bachelorette party
- drink driving = drunk driving
- fortnight = 2 weeks
- plaster = bandaid
- diary = calendar
- take away = take out
- rocket = Arugula, I think
- inverted commas = quotation marks. This one bothers me. They are not inverted commas in any way shape or form. Not only do they look different on the keyboard but a comma is singular and only goes one direction. That is why they have their own name, because they are nothing like inverted commas.
Other things:
Ranch dressing is not a thing here. Anywhere. Which means they are really missing out on "Ranch and chips" and by chips I mean fries :)
Flapjacks. Delicious little oat bar thingies. I could eat them always and forever if they are made right. The ones from Graze are especially delicious (note: you can get those from US Graze I believe).
The "V Hand Symbol," basically meaning a peace sign but palm facing you, is an insult to some people. I think that's going out of style but it's basically like "screw you."
