Day 305 -> British words that Mean something Different in the U.S.

     I've been dealing with the Engligh language - and, particularly, the American way of speaking -, for quite some time now, as a translator and teacher, but, these days, I came accross some words that have different meanings according to the country you're in. So here are some examples:

Cheers

• In the US: an expression used in celebration, usually when clinking glasses together

• In the UK: an expression of gratitude

Alright 

• In the US: an inquisitive gesture
  

• In the UK: a greeting

Cheeky

• In the US: disrespectful in speech or behavior

•  In the UK: behaving in a bold or rude manner, but in a funny way

Tutor

• In the US: someone who helps you with your homework

• In the UK: a formal instructor

Jumper

• In the US: Someone standing on the edge of a building prepared to jump

• In the UK: Sweater
