  Format:
  Australian - American/other:

  Examples:
  Outback - prairie (without grass).
  Cocky - farmer.
  Dunny - toilet.
  Ute - pickup.
  Van - minibus.
  Truck - tractor.

  On that note, how could you Americans possibly think to begin calling trucks tractors? I mean really, a tractor has two small wheels at the front, two large wheels at the back, and a farmer up top on a seat with PTO controls and a hydraulic valve bank for the grader blade.
  ... Or something along those lines.
  Kenworth and Mack build trucks. Massey Ferguson and John Deere build tractors.
  Granted, International built trucks and tractors ... Maybe that's where you got confused ...

  We don't call trucks tractors... A tractor really does have two small wheels in front and two big wheels in back...
  Maybe you were talking to some city folk who just didn't know what they were talking about.
  Also, parkways -driveways.

  And driveways-parkways. We switch them around.

  According to my friend and her mother from England...
  Here "to jump" someone means to rob them, and perhaps a little stabby stab. Apparently in England, "to jump" mean to get horrible bested and raped"? Or something of the sort?

  They call the trucks, tractor trailers actually. So sometimes they just shorten it to tractor. Those are the big rigs that they are referring to.
  Also holiday vs vacation

  Jump is usually to mug, no stabby required... Or to jump ones bones is sexi time
  At least thats my understanding...
• dr p Apr 13, 2012

  Ass = arse
  Pants = trousers
  Panties = knickers

  The oddest is how Americans use fanny for arse whereas everyone else uses fanny for cunt. And fanny packs are tampons not bum bags
