Amazing. Wonder if we have any equivalent esoterica? Other than 'poke' for 'bag' or 'sack' in the American South, I can't think of a single one in U.S. English.

On a less exotic note but still distinct from us, an English couple the other day told me that over there our 'sidewalk' is your 'pavement' and our 'pavement' is your 'tarmac'. Our 'tarmac' is the concrete or asphalt-surfaced idling section of a runway for a plane about to take off- what do you call that?
