I Am British You Are American, Poem by gnrao rao

I call it a holiday,
You call it a vacation.

I call it a boot,
You call it trunk.

Trunk has the elephant,
Trunk has the tree,
Trunk is where
you keep the things.

I call the transport
Lorry.
You call it a truck.

I call the water tap,
as Tap,
You call it a faucet.

I walk on the pavement,
You walk on the sidewalk.

I eat crisps
You eat chips.

I wear trousers,
You wear pants.

I go to the film,
You go to the movie.


I receive my mail,
You receive your post.

I call it a cheque,
You call it a check
But I care for the Spelling
You care for the pronunciation.

I pass through the underground,
You use the subway.

I eat biscuit
you eat cookie.

I put my child in the cot,
You him in the crib.

I use nappy for my infant,
you use diaper.

I use lift to go up,
you use elevator.

Leaves fall in autumn,
Winston Churchill
used the lines
: : Before the leaves
of the autumn fall'
you call it a Fall.

I use the torch
in the dark,
You use flashlight.

I buy chips
for my son,
You buy french fries.

I throw the rubbish
You throw the garbage
or trash.

I put petrol in my car,
You put gas in your car
at the gas station.

I drive my car in the
main road,
You drive it in the
highway.

Motorway is convenient
for me,
Freeway you find it
convenient.

I open the bonnet of my car,
you open the hood.

I stop at the cross-roads,
You stop at the inter-section.

I use the W.C. or toilet,
You call that as restroom.
