    (I hear panties where I live pretty frequently).

    Brits say "pissed".
    Americans say "drunk".
    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

    Never heard anyone call it a washroom in America. And I've heard pretty much everyone say panties.

    Brit - pram, American - baby carriage (?)
    Brit - Caravan park, American - I think trailer park?

    It's actually - love, not lover. "How do you do, love" etc.
