answer:The pronunciation of words we share can also be different. For example, Americans would say LAB-or-tory and the Brits would say La-BOR-atory. Well, at least they would in London. Sometimes we all use the same word, but it means different things depending on where we are. In the US, “fanny” is a more polite way to say “butt”, however, in the UK, “fanny” means a woman’s, er, front-facing nether bits. And Brits say “bits” a lot more than we do.
