You forgot a big one.......

A rubber in England means Eraser in America

And a rubber in America means condom...

A girl from Germany who only took British English made a big mistake by asking for a rubber in the middle of class xD lol

@wildernesswandering2 it's the same; 'dropping out of school.'

[wildernesswandering2]

Another question: any chap may answer When a student "quits" school, do they say that they "drop out." Or, as I heard from a guy on the teli, say that he "walked out" and then later he said he "ran out" which is it mates?

[wildernesswandering2]

I was watching a John Lennon interview with Dick Cavet, and I was sure when he was talking to Dick Cavet he called him "hey love." Question 1: Do Brits still use that term? And question 2, do people say it to guys? Or do they only refer to them as mates.

I'm from Georgia and and I've never heard of a roundabout or a junction we just have red lights and stops sign lol. And we have jellie jam and jello jellie is somewhat artificial while jam has chunks of real fruit in it :)
