"Nappy" refers to unkempt curly hair of black people. It's used by black people indicating that they need some work on their grooming, and is usually considered derogatory or offensive if whites use it. > Dummy - Pacifier "Dummy" refers to an idiot and is politically incorrect here. > Rubber or eraser - Eraser "Rubber" refers to a condom here. > Maths - Math Mathmatics, usually. > Biscuit - Cookie Yeah, we have both cookies and biscuits ... So, I'm adding this to your list: Scone - Biscuit > Jam - Jelly > Jelly - Jello We have marmalade, jam, jelly, and Jell-O ... Marmalade usually has rough cuttings of peel. Jam has fruit flesh, usually noticed as bits of seeds or skins, with thicker, rougher texture than Jelly. Jelly is just pectin from the juice, clear. Jell-O is commercial gelatin usually made from cartilage or bones of cows. If your jam is our jelly, and your jelly is our Jell-O, what is our jam? ... Primarily, apple and grape are jelly here, marmalade is orange, and most everything else is jam or preserves, sometimes called spreads, but we do also have fruit sauces and fruit butters. As you can see, you can get some berries as either jelly or jam, but they generally aren't as widely available as jelly. (types from a grocery store website) Jelly: grape apple concord grape strawberry blackberry Jam or Preserves: concord grape strawberry apricots blackberry raspberry peach cherry black cherry red plum Marmalade: orange (fruit) Sauce: applesauce (fruit) Butters: apple pumpkin > Courgette - Zucchini ??? > Fish (plural) - Fishes I think that one is "fish" here too ... Generally, most uses are plural. I.e., "a fish" would be singular, I think. "My fish" would be taken as singular also. It's likely that "group of" or "school of" would be added to "My fish" if it was meant to be plural, e.g., "My school of fish". Rod Pemberton
