Differences inVocabulary Ask someone from England what a fag is andhe/she will tell you it's a cigarette. Asking an American the same question,however, could put you in a rather embarrasing situation. You see, in AmericanEnglish, a fag is a highly derogatory and offensive term forhomosexual. The above example shows that sometimes the sameword has different meanings in Englandand in the US.So, if you were in Englandand wanted to buy candy, you'd have to ask for sweets.In the United States, aperson asks for dessert after dinner, while a person in England may askfor a sweet or a dessert. There is a story about an Englishman visiting New York for the firsttime who stopped a man and asked how to get to the underground. The answer he receivedfrom the New Yorker was a very blunt and rude. "I don't know. Why don'tyou try killing yourself?" The New Yorker mistakenly thought that theEnglishman was interested in meeting Lucifer himself. Little did the New Yorkerknow that in British English, the underground (also called tube)is nothing more than the subway. Underground is a good example of the many wordsin Englandwhich are different from their American equivalents. Scholars interested inthose lexical differences have actually compiled British/American -American/British dictionaries. Observe a list of some of the most common wordswe offer you (see above).
