It’s from the UK’s Daily Mail. The British have a number of terms that are slightly different from the one we use in the USA, e.g. car terms “bonnet” instead of “hood” and “boot” instead of “trunk”. You buy a “return” ticket instead of a “round trip” ticket, etc.

Wasn’t there a thing years back when the Chicago Bears played in London, and instead of calling William Perry “The Refrigerator” they called him “the Pantry”?
