We're still in Scotland (currently Perth). Here are five Scottish expressions that differ from their American counterparts:
- "Mind the gap as you alight from the train." In the United States, we would say "Watch your step as you depart."
- "Takeaway" (on a restaurant sign). In the United States, we would say "takeout."
- "Lift." In the United States, we would say "elevator."
- "Toilet." In the United States, we would say "bathroom" or "restroom."
- "Way out" (on a rail-terminal sign, with the words followed by arrow). In the United States, we would say "exit."
There are many others, but this is a sample.
