I've been on the list for a minute and around former brits for a while but I 
have YET to get use to the different terms we use, for example:

Bushes are what are in front of the house and not on the car,
Bonnets are on a lady's head not over my engine,
Boots are on my feet and not hiding my luggage (I don't have a rack, I'm not 
female).

But then I guess the brits could say a Hood is what you find in the seedy 
part of town.
