I'd quickly tyre of that. (British spelling)

LOL. The pun works even better with the American spelling, though, so I grant you permission to use "tire" in this case.😉

This brings to mind some other British words that we Americans decided for whatever reason not to use. Personally, I like the terms "bonnet" for "hood" and "windscreen" for "windshield". "Boot" for "trunk" has always sounded odd to me, though.

Let's not get in a "row" over the differences, though, or take the mickey for that matter.

Absolutely not! You'll have me typing color next and saying aluminum and nucular. Its a slippery slope. Then, instead of solder it will be sodder, trash can instad of bin, then square tubing instead of box section.

A few weeks ago I saw this British guy on the reality TV series Naked and Afraid call corrugated steel "wriggly tin".

What was really funny is that a couple of the Americans on the show started using that term, too, LOL.

Hmmm... we call it corrugated iron. Wriggly tin is a new one on me.
