Chips are crisps.
Diapers are nappies.
Cigarettes are fags.
Baby buggies are prams.
Trucks are lorries.
Girls are birds.
Fries are chips.
Fuel Air bombs are Vacuum bombs.

Those crazy Brits!

About a hundred years ago when I was a young Airman stationed at Mildenhall our slang expression for anything British was “Bloke.” So British beer was bloke beer, British money was Bloke money, and a British girlfriend was a Bloke Chic.
