Or is that Americaneze?
I've found the international talkboards quite educational over the years, linguistically. I've learned that the British don't have yards but, rather, gardens; they wear their pants under their trowsers and paraffin is not a wax, but kerosene. And don't even think of asking a Brit to fetch your fanny pack.
In Australia Utes are not native Americans, but cars.
Anyone else have any examples of the peculiar expressions these strange foreigners use?
