Hello all!
Here’s another example of a term that’s only used in the UK. I also found this quote in a song by the Sex Pistols (Anarchy in the U.K.).
A dog’s body in American parlance is gofer. This word is pronounced the same as the word gopher (a rodent), but is spelled with an f because it really means go for (i.e. the errand boy who goes here and there doing your errands and who remains at your beckon call, as we say).
