:) Same Word, Same Language, Different Countries => Different Meaning

Q: In England, what’s the difference between a vest and a waistcoat?

 

A: An English vest is what Americans call an undershirt; a waistcoat is what Americans call a vest.

 

And I thought ‘football’ is the only word with different meaning in US and other countries? J
