What are lorries?

[Booklover]

Trucks.

*Feels like an idiot for not realising this*

[Booklover]

Might be a British English/American English difference.

[Flib Bigboat]

I mean, I've been reading British English literature for years now, and never realised a lorry was a truck.

Took me a long time to work out what cotton candy (candyfloss) was, same for eggplant/aubergine.

I wonder why we have different names for things, even though we speak the same language (more or less).

[Ally046]

Because our respective areas had different languages contribute to their culture.

[Flib Bigboat]

Well it still isn't very logical.

Spelling differences are often because American newspapers removed letters so the ink was cheaper. Others it probably varies.

[Flib Bigboat]

Cotton candy takes up more room than candyfloss does.

Had to save money removing all the "pip pip cheerio"s and the such.

[Flib Bigboat]

A great shame.

I prefer to say 'Bi bi, guys!' or something along those lines.
