Brits and Americans have hundreds of different phrases for the same thing. Luckily it's usually a source of amusement rather than frustration. A flashlight by any other name is still a torch. My personal favourite is 'fairy lights ' which we boringly refer to as 'Christmas lights.'

On the whole I prefer Christmas as an adult than I did as a child.

I'll always prefer to play with women and hang out with women and I'll always be a feminist.

I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom.

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.

People always complain 'you never invited me to your wedding' but I prefer casual weddings.

I did frequently refer to my war record in World War II but not in any flamboyant way.

When I was a youngster growing up in South Dakota we never referred to the national debt it was always referred to as the war debt because it stemmed from World War I.
