I think it's funny how...

americans (yes possibly canadians too i'm just generalising) call them Bandaids, whereas us Brits call them plasters.

Obviously i'm easily amused.

Wow, I didn't know band-aids had another name!

*The More You Know*

I call them healing stickers.

No I don't.

They are Band Aids only because that's the brand name. Otherwise they are just... stick-on bandages.

"Plasters"?

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.:|

Plasters? Never knew that

Did you guys know that the Brits pronounce mom as mum?
They also call Nike just Nik
They call erasers rubber, while we call condoms rubbers:lol:

i call it Nike... and i say condoms just as much as any other name for them lol.

US - UK

Elevators - Lifts

French Fries - Chips

Chips - Crisps

Mom - Mum

Airplane - Aeroplane

can't think of any others right now.

pavement - sidewalk

biscut - cookie

crisps - chip

mum - mom

the list goes on

also, this topic has made me realize why I was calling them plasters. people always thought I was weird and I wondered where the hell my parents got that from, but I didn't know before this topic that British people call them that. makes sense now because of the British occupation of Egypt decades ago.

it's all coming together :o

The funniest difference, in my opinion, is that you call a fringe, (the front part of your hair)... bangs. It sounds so wrong. A bang is a loud noise. :PSolidSnake35

I call them bangs, lol. All black people I know call them bangs.

I also find funny how they say "bunk" when we say something along the lines of "bull."

Bonnet is the front of a car, boot is the back, but I do love a cuppa tea. I'm guessing that comes from cup of... and said with an accent it becomes cuppa, much like "innit" means isn't it.SolidSnake35

Yeah, but this isn't it. Maybe it isn't a British thing. . .but I have only heard British people say it.
