Do brits actually call an elevator a "lift"?
Sounds sexual but what do they actually mean by that?
Daniel Powell

In Dutch we use lift too for elevators.

not really. in finland we call elevators "hissi" which is most closely equivalent to the english word "winch"
a literal translation of "lift" would be "nosturi" which means an industrial crane
also, the biggest elevator manufacturer in finland is KoneCranes, adding an extra level of confusion to which is which
Ryder Myers
That isn't British English, it's English. "fall" is simply the wrong word, not an alternative. Stop butchering the fucking language, you god damn mongrel.

Bangers and mash. In the olden days frying sausages used to spit fat out of the pan making a sound like firecrackers, hence the name. Sausages don't really do this any more though. I guess the humble sausage is evolving, but the name just stuck =).
