What words and phrases do American's use that British people don't?

I'm thinking:

"Fawcet" - Tap

"Go to the bathroom" - Toilet

"Sidewalk" - pavement

"Handicap" - (offensive here; disabled spaces)

others..?

I wish the Americans would get the pronunciation of Buoy correct.
It is pronounced Boy, not Booee.
How do they pronounce Buoyancy?

@Gusman we speak American English and pronounce all our words correctly

@Gusman I have come to accept that British and American pronunciations differ, as do their spellings.

@Gusman Most Americans pronounce "buoy" & "bouyancy" as you would insist.
