I refer to them as soft drinks personally.

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 don't say pop or soda, I say fizzy drink or just the name of it! XD​

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.
 
Finally, something where I actually am the majority xD

Then again, most of what I watch originates in Japan so maybe that's why I see so much driving on the left xD
 
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.

Imagine crossing a border between two countries that drove on the opposite sides. That would be quite interesting.

I call it a eighty-way front-end car accident.

And whatever, I just go with whatever. See, like not complaining about mm and mL in China
 
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?
 
Yup! Rwanda and Uganda were the two I was reading about.
 
I have enough trouble driving in general, let alone driving on the other side of the road :(
 
People have said that I drive slow, like a little old lady. Which kinda makes sense, since I'm a big fan of the big old cars that are popular with little old ladies :P
