All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

So after nearly 5 years of living and working in the UK and associated territories, I stubbornly cling to a number of terms from the land of Uncle Sam

So I will continue to take out the "trash", put "gas" in my car, pop its "hood", put stuff in it's "trunk". I'll continue to use the "restroom" and prefer the term "chick" to "bird", though I use neither and prefer lady myself

But! I find myself writing "colour" instead of color and "programme" instead of program so there may be hope for me yet!

You may take the piss with any other typical terms I haven't mentioned
