    Common language

    Even though we both speak the same language, it's amazing how there are some subtle differences between American-English and proper English:

    They say "sidewalk" we say "pavement"

    They say "pants" we say "trousers"

    They say "buried at sea" we say "naked and chained to a metal bed frame with a car battery connected to his .......s whilst being beaten for answers".
