As an English teacher, I’d say it is the British exclusive words.
What are Brit-exclusive words?
Well…
These are known as ‘chips’, other places may call them ‘fries’.
These are known as ‘crisps’, other places may call them… ‘chips’. Such daunting chaps they are!
These are known as ‘trousers’, interesting word. Other places call them by their blander name, ‘pants’. Though also ‘chaps’, older chaps with their older words.
What are these? Some people call them ‘colors’, but Brits don’t fancy such short words! These are called ‘colours’. The world is more colourful with U in it!
Grrr! I’m so ‘angry’! No wait, I mean, I’m so ‘cross’!
Hey did you hear? Cross Birds 2 came out!
What is this? It’s a ‘soccer ball’. No, it’s a ‘football’. No, soccer ball. Football. Soccer ball! FOOTball! You shut that foul dirty mouth! No, you shut it ya bloody mongrel!
Boys and their balls.
‘Queue’ up in a line, or ‘line’ up in a queue? That is the question.
When treating your romantic lover, don’t ‘erase-her’, ‘rub-her’! Definitive proof that British people are the most romantic.
So on and so forth.
Nothing is more English than English English spoken by the English.
