Maybe it's just me, but I think I missed the point you were trying to make.

Ah, I've not really been one to readily pick up on British humor, myself. I just plain don't get it most of the time. Monty Python's good though.

Here in America we pride ourselves in stupifying as many things as we can. It's not so much like we live by the scientific name of everything around us.
Person 1: Could you hand me that glass of hydrogen/oxygen compound?
Person 2: The what?
Person 1: Oh for the love of god, the water. Must we bastardize our language so?

I love it when we all start talking about cars.. lol.
I'm looking for cars to buy right now actually, I found an 86 toyota MR2 that looks pretty sick (the good kind of sick :p) but the guy is asking for $2500, and it blue books at around $1250 for good condition. plus it's an auto tranny... eww.. what's the point in having a car that redlines at 7500 if you'll never be able to rev that high? at least once, just for fun.. oh well.

It's short for gasoline. Nobody here calls it petrol.

Me neither.
I remember when I was in my teens, all my friends would suddenly go "WOW.. LOOK AT THAT!!!"
I'd be looking all over the place trying to figure out what the heck they were talking about.
"THAT CAR OVER THERE!!"
jeez.... who gives a crap. It's a car.
Then I'd wait for another car to drive by ...
"WOW...LOOK AT THAT!!!!....A VOLKSWAGON BUG!!!!... and it's BLUE!!!"
