It is my understanding that a "terraced house" in England is what is called a "row house" in this country. When I first heard Herman's Hermits refer to a "terraced house" in their hit song No Milk Today (1967), I thought it was a reference to a multi-story mansion.

Or perhaps the little boy, not a native speaker of English, has trouble differentiating terraced from terrorist. Try saying terrorist and sometimes the middle syllable gets lost, sounding like ‘terr’ist.”
