Aussie vs American Words

Christi and I share the differences in words between Australia and America

As an American I think the Aussie words sound more fun. Any Australians on here that feel the opposite?

I know how to say Foster's Lager in Aussie.

Horse Piss.

But if you order one in a pub they might serve you American beer, because that name works for both.

Most of these words are the difference between North American (including Canada) English and UK English and its Non-North American Colonies. Although there are some distinctly Australian words.

Interestingly, most of the differences come from the fact that a lot of these words were invented after the US Revolution and the differences between adoption standards of the Oxford English Dictionary and Websters.

Never understand why people take issue with shower urination.

It goes down the drain that has a trap like every other drain in the house.
