Exclamation American and British Vocabulary!
There are differences between British and American English - but there are also regional differences in British and American dialects. If you spot something that you think is strange, or if you have an alternative for any of the words, please let us know!

In the list below, the first expression is always British English.
Houses
Washing up liquid = Dish soap
Hoover = Vacuum cleaner
Washing powder = Laundry soap
Clothes peg = Clothes pin
Fridge = Fridge / Refrigerator
Living room / lounge = Living room / Den
Chest of drawers = Bureau
Wardrobe = Closet
Armchair = Easy chair
Larder / pantry = Pantry
Oven = Oven / stove
Cars
Mirror = Rear view mirror
Wing mirror = Side mirror
Indicators = Blinkers
Bonnet = Hood
Boot = Trunk
Windscreen = Windshield
Put your foot down = Step on the gas
(To drive fast)
Motor / wheels = Wheels
(Informal expressions for your car)

"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." Anonymous

RE: American and British Vocabulary!
thanks exclusive.
can we use " put our foot down" in normal life?
for example " put your foot down Ali, we don't have much time to finish that work"
