Forget my post, the forum doesn’t like this persons 1st name which is actually a name, short for Richard
Slim, he’s 2nd name was Emery not Henry, iPad smell checker for ya
Now this is very interesting rob
This is a funny conversation. Over the years, and after watching many British films and TV shows, I've come across some words that you might routinely use in the UK that have a completely different meaning in the USA.
In American English:
Bum - a homeless person
Bin - something that you throw your dirty clothes into
Lift - giving a ride to someone
Bonnet - a hat that girls wear during the Easter parade
Pound = 16 ounces
Sod - A patch of pre-grown grass
Punter - An "American" football kicker
Knob - something one turns to open a door.
You can probably guess which movie genres I prefer...
Definitely got different meanings here in the uk.
Homeless people = homeless people
Bin = where you put your rubbish, you guys call it “trash”
Lift = same as your above answer or a lift to get to another floor “elevator”
Bonnet = front of car that covers the engine, think you guys call it a “hood”
Pound = £
Sod = a name (slang) for someone who’s been naughty
Punter = a customer
Knob = same as your above answer, can’t give you the other answer cos I’ll be banned from the forum

The British words that always confuse me are pudding, jelly, and chips. Can never remember what the hell they're referring to when they use these words. Just know it's nothing close to what Americans use them for.
I can now understand why I always get this blank look while talking to Americans on my hols they ain’t got a clue what I’m talking about.
