Hahaha that's quite funny.
It must be my Australian linguistics, it is to my understanding that it's staff in America and other countries but since I was little it's always been stave.

I have no idea if you're American or not but hey.
Other words you might find confusing from the Australian dictionary:
Boot - Trunk (like in a car)
Biscuit - Cookie
G-banger - Thong
Thong - Sandal I think? like on your feet at the beach shah.
Then there's the many synonyms for beer, hello, friend, not-friend, urination and female significant other, which are all very.. inappropriate for an internet forum.

Thong meaning flip-flop is one that always weirds me out. DON'T CALL IT THAT PEOPLE

Flip flop! That's what I was thinking of. I dunno Toujours, I mean America thinks the Brits drive on the wrong side of the road even though America is the only country (to my knowledge) that drives on the right. I dunno if that's maybe saying something.. >_>

Yeah I have soft drink as well, or just the name of the beverage hah.

Nope, most people drive on the right. Look at the picture from Wikipedia!

Spoiler:


Red = right, blue = left.

I say "coke" (a lot of people do where I live) instead of soda or pop or cola...so it confuses a lot of people...idk I guess I just picked it up when I grew up. But when I say it I mean it broadly (like soda) instead of a coke specifically. Its weird. I know.

Oh wow, I didn't know that. I knew Europe and America drove on the right but since Australia and the UK drove on the left, I just thought the former two were odd ones out.

Yeah I figured the US was the odd one out till I looked it up too. My original post said "there are a few others, like" and then I looked it up and was like "holy crap we're actually in the majority on this one".

It's okay, you can still make fun of our imperial system of measurement.

Apparently they just put up signs and when you leave border patrol you leave on the opposite side. Kind of like an uncontrolled intersection I guess?

Wait what, they actually have countries right next to each other that drive on the opposite side of the road? O.o

I got to drive on the other side of the road once. I kept turning on the windshield wipers when I wanted to signal. I can't imagine switching sides mid-drive.

I have enough trouble driving in general, let alone driving on the other side of the road :(
