Words Brits use that Americans don't?

Lots of foods, off the top of my head:

Aubergine
Corriander
Gherkin
Courgette
Spring Onion
Jam
Porridge

 

I don't think they say biscuit (?), -they say either cookies or crackers.


Also, a Cafetiere is called a French Press over the pond.

 

Big fat Willy came from behind me.

 

Twat

 

Bellend

 

Oh my lol

 

Was obvious to me

 

Do they not use it?
Nor arse. Lol

 

Scones. They have no scones.

 

Loo

 

Geezer

 

Lad

 

Ruckus

 

Naught

 

Bespoke

 

Kip

 

Bloke

 

I say both of these. Spring onions are the wild onions that come up in the spring (and for the last few years, through the winter too) and jam is like a chunkier jelly lol. Is it the same for you Brits?

 

for me, saying jam is the same as saying jelly.

 

I remember this word from the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but I haven't since I was very little referred to hot cereal as porridge. It's always been called oatmeal!
