I hate when bathroom is called lav. We call it that in school, but nowhere else. It started in 6th grade and I thought it was laboratory so I was really confused. But it's easier to write lav on a pass than bathroom.

That's what we call it too. Is that weird? I've always called it a bubbler.

Yeah, water fountains, not hygienic. Although, in the US we don't clasp our mouths over the spout (at least, you're not supposed to...) I find it fun to call the bathroom the "facilities." It just sounds so proper. Or when I'm feeling crude I just say toilet as well. BTW, love your laugh at the US being killed at Rugby. There's a reason why the US is not famous for it.

You have a very awesome voice, Admirality. My voice fails. D:
You should do another slideshow about England sometime. Some Americans want to learn more about it. *coughmecough*
xD
Here's a American-English word:
Armor (American) -> Armour (English)
