bucket, faucet, semi. (with the trucks, the more someone knows about them, the more specific their name, but most people around here just say semi)
The ones that come up the most here, my family coming from a different part of the country, are
sofa - couch - davenport?
lunch - dinner - supper
soda - pop - sodapop - coke
I love reading books from elsewhere and the different terms, such as flat, pitch, lorry etc.
Did you know the Harry Potter books were "translated" for American audiences?
