Standard British English vs. Standard American English

"[If] I write "The clerk gave a biscuit to the solicitor," he will imagine something precise, if a little odd. The trouble is that, however lively his imagination, what he imagines may be precise but is bound to be wrong. For he is confronted with three nouns which mean different things in the United States and in England."

– H.L. Mencken

The following shortlist serves as a brief but effective illustration of the unexpected differences between Standard British English (SBE) and Standard American English (SAE). Take a look at some common SBE terms and their decidedly unlikely counterpart in SAE:

assistant in SBE would be a 'salesclerk' in SAE
bill is what you ask the waiter for in SBE, while in SAE you ask for a 'check'
biscuit is a 'cookie' and not the salty, flaky baked rolls
boot is your car's 'trunk'
cashier is a 'teller' in a bank
cupboard is not just in the kitchen, it's a 'closet' in SAE
diary is your 'calendar/date or appointment book', and not where you jot down intimacies
first floor is the 'second-floor' in the US
Fleet Street is a nickname for 'the Press'
garden is the front or back yard, and not necessarily where you grow your vegetables
glass is crystal, and not the common stuff
have no time for means to 'have a low opinion of someone', rather than its literal SAE meaning
High Street preceded by 'the', is 'Main Street'
ice on menus means 'ice-cream' in SBE
joint (of meat) is 'a piece of roast meat' and not the cartilage section of the bone
jumper is a 'sweater' (or woolly, or jersey)
lorry is a 'truck'
lounge suit is a 'business suit' and not clothes for lounging in
off his rocker is 'out to lunch' in SBE, but crazy in SAE.
provision is 'accrual'
queue, the verb, means 'to stand or wait in line'
surgery is a 'doctor's office'
theatre in a hospital is the 'operating room'
trainers are 'sneakers'
wc stands for "water closet" which is the 'toilet' in SAE
zebra crossing is a striped pedestrian 'crosswalk'
