The English deliberately pick different words for simple things just to annoy us I swear.
I took the lift to the car park and pub my mobile in the boot.

At least that way your mobile will stay on the motorway instead of ending up on your plate next to your chips.

The English deliberately pick different words for simple things just to annoy us I swear. Liberals everywhere do that. Nothing is ever good enough for them; especially if lots of regular folks adopt a catchphrase.
One of my pet peeves: First we had "speed bumps" here in the U.S.; now we have "speed humps" and "traffic calming." Grrrr.
