or is that just me?

As a Canadian who is Irish on one side and has an English Grandmother on the other...I also run into this problem a fair bit because this is the verbiage I grew up using in the format I grew up using it. I've adjusted my usage a fair bit as I found I was often being misunderstood, but still, this is usually what I mean when I say these things.

BTW I didn't make this - Source

I don't make fun of you guys saying "Lift" for elevator, or for calling underwear, pants. We've got nothing but love for you guys! :D
