    Australians shorten everything because if we take too long to say something we have an increased chance of a swallowing a fly.

      I'd say "sandals" is the more generic term for summer footwear that doesn't completely cover the foot, while flip-flops are that specific type of sandal... probably because that's the noise they make when you walk in them.

      Well, Subway restaurants were named after the New York subway (tube) system. In an American city without underground trains, yes, you would be directed to the restaurant. However in downtown New York City they'd look at you like you're a dumb tourist, because the subway (tube) entrances are virtually everywhere. lol

      Well, nobody goes out of their way to get potato chips (or crisps) here in the USA. So yeah, in that context it would mean french fries. Nobody in the USA asks you “do you wanna go get some chips?”. They would ask "do you wanna go get a burger?" and a side of french fries would pretty much be a given. Chips and french fries are both side dishes here in the States. We normally have fries with a hamburger or chips with a cold sandwich.

      The better way to explain it is we hate a lot of syllables, if it has three we'll shorten it to two if it has two we'll shorten it to one if possible, but we'll also make a one syllable words two syllables because we also seem to love vowels particularly O.

      The word "Football" is quite a generalisation when speaking in global terms. there is Association Football, Rugby Football, Australian Football, Gaelic Football, Gridiron Football and probably a lot more around the world (which are all called "Football" in there respective countries)..... when football and rugby were in development they both existed as different variations of the same sport called "Football". To differentiate between the two variations of the sport they were unofficially named "Soccer" and "Rugger" then later officially named Association Football and Rugby Football (Rugby Football has now been split into two variations of the sport, Rugby Union and Rugby League). In the U.K the word "Soccer" was popular and widely used until the 1970's (in the late 70s the sport started to get more popular within American culture and the British for whatever reason didn't like this and therefor stopped using the word soccer)..........
      ...............anyway my point is that Soccer is and English word that Americans have adopted to be clear as to which sport they are talking about, so you cant really blame them.

    In the UK an 'Off-license' is a shop which is licensed to sell Alcohol 'off-premises' to be consumed away i.e off the premises vs. on-license which are all bars and restaurants licensed to sell Alcohol on-premises, they, in turn, are not allowed to sell alcohol to be consumed away from the the Bar or Restaurant.

      Close. It's not that you can take it off the premises but you must. Their license only allows them to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises which is why it's called an off licence.

    In America, ice lollies or icy-poles are called popsicles, combining the two words "pop" and "icicle." Also, I don't say "candies," I just say "candy." For example, instead of saying, "I have a bucket full of candies," I say, "I have a bucket full of candy." This also happens when American people pluralize "beer" into "beers." But, I think John was trying to fit in with the others, or it's an American regional difference.
