There’s the whole purse/bag thing and chips/crisps. We say crisps, you call them chips. Our chips are something different, more like fries but generally thicker

Mens pants… UK would be trousers.
In the UK men’s pants are " shorts" as in underwear.
Also the US would use " slacks". In the UK that would be trousers for old guys. Lots of ball room , with very high waist band.

Definitely US uses “Ya’ll”. But for educational purposes it’s specifically a “southern” term. “Southern” being the southeast and south central US like Texas. Not sure if Florida is on the Ya’ll bandwagon or not

We don’t use sneakers, it was a bad example haha, they’re trainers here. Runners in Ireland too I believe, well that’s what my friend calls them.
We have biscuits and cookies here but biscuits in the US I think are something different! You definitely wouldn’t want UK biscuits with gravy!

US biscuits are basically scones

I’d probably try digestives dipped in gravy! US gravy is different too, not the average Bisto.
