Lover - you will in no way hear an Australian say "positioned yet another shrimp on the barbie" the two. We ROFL after we hear Yanks say that. EDIT: P'rushim - we don't call a pond a billabong. We call ponds, ponds. A billabong is the two an oxbow lake formed whilst a loop of a waterway is decrease off from the main significant circulate or a largish pool of water left whilst a waterway in part dries up. Samuel - Why is a contraction of the be conscious 'gas' extra the ideal option than a contraction of the be conscious 'petroleum'? it sort of feels to me that they are approximately equivalent. Evo741... - A trunk is an elephant's nostril (or a huge transportable carrying case) and a hood is likewise an merchandise of headwear - pilgrim headgear and an merchandise of trainers are no stranger than those words. My factor with any of the above isn't that the words we use are extra suitable than the yank ones, in simple terms that English audio equipment from distinctive international places have their very own sub-set of English and is no longer that a powerful element? it is not almost as boring as a lifeless language like Latin.

You are a typical European, you know. Gas, as we use it to describe "petrol" is short for gasoline, which is NOT the same as gas in the 'hydrogen' sense of the word. Unless you mean flatulence, then I might be wrong. Now you can share what you've learned with all your other retarded friends. Have a nice day.

"Gas."
