A joke caused by the difference between American English and British English

..... pants, pants: It was a tragedy when the British boy who just returned from America praised the British MM for "nice pants". MM thinks he has a perspective eye ... the usage of these two words should be paid special attention to. Pants refer to underwear in Britain and pants in America. In Britain, pants are pants. So, when a foreigner says pants, you should get them.

Elevator: An American is in England. He asks, "How can I get to the 20th floor?" The Englishman said, "Take the elevator." The American went crazy: "OK, but who can be so strong to lift me to the 20th floor?" In England, if you don't want to climb stairs, you can take the elevator. If you are in America, you must take the elevator. No one will help you up!

Gasoline/natural gas: An Englishman was hitchhiking in the United States. He said, "Can I get a ride to new york?" Americans are very enthusiastic. They say, "Of course, my car is full of gas." The English boy was afraid: "Well, no thanks. I still want to live. " Here, in British English, gasoline means "oil" and gas means "gas, gas". No wonder English boys are afraid. He doesn't want to sit on the "death" that is about to explode.

Film/Movie:film is British English, which means pictures/photos in addition to movies.

You can go to the movie (USA) or go to the cinema (UK), but never go to the movie, otherwise.
