I am still working on "jumper". Is it a little sleeveless overdress worn with a shirt, or is it a top that your Mom knits for you? 🤣🤣🤣

Isn’t there a famous quote about the US and U.K. being two countries separated by a common language! I like the differences but for me a trunk will always be attached to an elephant and never be anything to do with a car! Lol
I’m from UK and when I type in bonnet it’s still a hat.
There are lots of the same words for different meanings. Like bonnet which can also be car bonnet.
Your chips are our crisps and your fries are our chips, unless we’re talking in restaurants. Where we say fries.
Boot means shoes and can mean car boot.
We say arse but most will understand ass.
Also Southern English is different to northern English in England as well so it’s not just American English which is different. Like an alleyway is a ginnel up north, dinner is tea, cup of tea is a brew, mum is mam but some pronounce mom as like in America but it’s spelt mum.
A hood is a kind of hat actually, usually on a coat. Or a Robin. A trunk is a kind of box for travelling belongings. And a fanny is a vagina, not an arse! Jeez! 🙄🤭
