While on the airplane I asked one of the stewards to throw away my trash and he corrected me right away- it is rubbish not trash. Coop has been walking up and down the streets pointing at litter on the ground saying, "Rubbish. Rubbish."
It is rubbish, not trash.
It is a lift, not an elevator.
You go to the toilets, not a restroom.
m&ms are Smarties.
You hop on and hop off the train.
You mind your head/step instead of watch your head or watch your step.
They are sunnies not sunglasses.
It is brekky and breakfast.
Tucker rides in a pram, not a stroller.
The pound sign on the phone is a hash.
Takeout is takeaway.
It is a nappy, not a diaper.
The bus sets you down, it does not drop you off.
Store hours are trading hours.
A reservation is a booking.
Lollipops and other hard candies are lollies. You visit a lollishop.
Little ones are bubs.
You do not buy a round trip ticket, you buy one ticket and a return ticket.
You do not have refills of a prescription at the pharmacy, you have repeats.
Apartments/homes are not for rent, they are for let.
