On the subject of weird names for things...we used to have a CTO from New Zealand, and he taught us all kinds of things about different words. We had major discussions about crisps, chips, and crackers...

One of the weirdest differences I have come across is that what Americans call 'graham crackers' we call digestive biscuits!
