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..?

Is inserting an apostrophe where it doesn't belong an American thing? It's certainly not a British thing.

The word for tap is FAUCET (not "fawcet").

We only use the word "bathroom" to describe a room that has a bath in it. If it has just a toilet and no bath, please explain in a logical manner how it can be called a bathroom.
