My Vocabulary has changed!

So I realized that with every culture, different words may be used to describe the same things. There are some words I used to use that may have different or little meaning over here in America.

Here are some of them


Petrol =========================================> Gas

Filling Station ===================================> Gas Station

Plain Rice ======================================> White Rice

Trousers =======================================> Pants

Soft Drink ======================================> Pop/Soda

Motorway ======================================> Freeway

Toffee =========================================> Candy

Take away ======================================> Take out

For example if someone hurts themselves( falls, hits something etc) don't say 'oh sorry', they would tell you that your don't have to apologize, and that it wasn't your fault

Also I remember when I was taking my driving test the instructor asked me to 'back-up' and I was like 'what?' I later found out she meant reverse
