The word I need to use for this is banned, so I'll have to use a roundabout description.
What Americans call going to the bathroom (to do "number 1") British use to describe someone who is drunk.

Hm, I thought aubergine was a french word?
We always use aubergine in the uk. I've never heard our tv chefs using the term "egg plant" It probably stems from Arabic (Wikipedia) not French though they probably used it more in cooking.
Americans have chocolate called Dove, whereas in the UK, it's called Galaxy.
Dove is a toiletries company here that sell soaps, moisturisers and deodorants.
Dove chocolate is made/distributed by Mars Inc. - the same company that makes M&M's. We also have Dove soap, moisturizers, etc. which is made/distributed by Unilever.

My grandfather uses a lot of British colloquialisms for...reasons (I think it's just the field he studied/his circle of friends) so most of the terms aren't new to me. The television is the telly and it's a flat, not an apartment.
But of someone can describe the type of vehicle a lorry is, that would be awesome. Everyone says it's what we call a truck in America, but we call a lot of things trucks.

It's a truck front, usually with a really long back. I'll try and get a picture
In the UK some people say my name as 'emmo' (it sounds like emmoh pronounced lazily) instead of emma. It should be pronounced properly as emma with a soft smooth dnd on the ~ma (second half)
