English as a second language, Part 3

And now, words English people say that make Americans wince:

Toilet. What they call the bathroom. And let's face it -- it's a bit more accurate, because how often do we do this in there, compared to how often we use this? Still, you've got to giggle you ask, "Where's Bob?" and someone says "Oh, he's in the toilet."

Mate. A way more intimate meaning in American English than English English, nudge nudge wink wink say no more.

Scheme. What's a plan to promote nutrition to them is a plot to swindle to us.
