Also, Mr. Proper Brit, your sentence is grammatically incorrect. You should have used do instead of does. I **** when you guys butcher our language like that...

What have I complained about? I've not said anything against America (and subsequently Australia),
I've asked why a fried slice of potato is called a chip instead of a crisp, and somehow that is interpreted as being hostile?

Are you really that sensitive over what you happen to call a fried slice of potato? To me it was just a trivial question that happened to cross my mind.
Anyway, football, otherwise known as soccer is a ball game that you play with your feet. foot + ball = football
Why do you call it soccer?
The reason we drive on the opposite side over here is because we can tell the difference between left and right. Left side is the side you drive on to get somewhere and the right side is the side you use to come back the way you came. Quite simple really. Childs play!. Unless the driver has an IQ of a potato!. Which would mean they drive on the right side to go somewhere and then the left side to come back the way they came. Driving a pickup truck with hay in the back while wearing dungarees and a piece of hay in their mouths while driving.
Why do brits call a truck, a lorry?
Why do people in the Midwest call carbonated drinks, "pop"?
Why isn't cherry, strawberry, or tropical punch flavored Kool-Aid, simply called "red"?
Why am I asking these questions?
The best answer I can come up with is that its just so ingrained into the lexicon of the nation, region, or other subdivision that we never wonder about its origin.

Wait, what do you call "pop"?
The brand name of the ***** that I want. A **** is a ****, Pepsi; Pepsi, so on and so forth. That said, I hail from the South, where everything is ****.

Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today,
We touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from over the seas to the U. S. A.
New York, Los Angeles, oh, how I yearned for you
Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Let alone just to be at my home back in ol' St. Lou.
Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, till I got back to the U. S. A.
Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner cafe
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Yes. I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, we got right here in the U.S.A.

In addition: jam first or cream first
do you mean jelly?
larss
I'm watching some specialist videos
It is a thick yellow cream made by heating unpasteurised cow's milk and then leaving it in shallow pans for several hours. During this time, the cream content rises to the surface and forms clots.
This is usually served on Scones with strawberry jam (or strawberry jelly if you are an American - not to be confused with jello which we call jelly
), and is delicious.Why do Brits call an "exit" a "way out"? Why do you call an "ass" an "arse"? Why do you say "wanking" instead of "jacking off"? Why is the pope a catholic? Why does the bear....oops, don't want to offend my pal Bear.
You get the idea. It's just the way it is. We're different. Good thing too....makes it much more interesting.
We call Exits "exits" OR a Way out - which is what an exit is...
I just like wanking
Because if he was not catholic, he wouldn't be pope.
and, I'm sure that bears toiletry habits are well documented.
Agreed, it would be pretty ****** boring if we were all the same
Etymology of Arse
"buttocks," O.E. ærs "tail, rump," from P.Gmc. *arsoz (cf. O.N. ars, M.Du. ærs, Ger. Arsch "buttock"), cognate with Gk. orros "tail, rump, base of the spine," Hittite arrash, Arm. or "buttock," O.Ir. err "tail." Arsy-versy "backside foremost" first attested 1530s.
In plainer English, it comes from the German "Arcsh" meaning Buttock.
I think that Ass is a variant of Arse, not the other way around.
Never used the word ragging. I much prefer to fuck a woman in the arse. I think that the word arse has a much nicer, rounder sound than ass which is clipped and doesn't sound as soft.
We don't drive on the wrong side of the road, neither do the Japanese, Australians, Indians, New Zealanders or South Africans.
Governor is someone that governs - i.e. the Boss, usually pronounced Guv'na or just Guv.
No it means Brits Better than Colonists
Yes, all the time. More so the Scots, but also the Welsh, Irish, Northerners, Southerners, Scousers, Geordies, and anyone else that does not live within a 20 mile radius. :hatsoff:
We call them that because that is what George named them when he created them :thumbsup:

Soccer comes from Association Football, and distinguishes it from Rugby Football (aka Rugga). Soccer being the most popular popular game called football, worldwide, Football tends to be associated more with soccer than any other sport of the same name. However in USA, where gridiron is more popular, it tends to be called Soccer to easily differentiate the games. In Australia, there is yet another variant of Football, known as Aussie Rules, but just as Football in Australia. SO, football is
Soccer
Rugby (there are 2 variants of this as well in League and Union)
Gridiron
Aussie Rules
As much as I dislike the term, soccer is quite correct, and was coined in England in around 1889 when the first professional association football teams were formed - Aston Villa being the first in 1888.
