> I don't think I do that, but I was realizing the other day that in the U.S., water that comes out of any faucet -- indoor or outdoor -- is "tap water." Maybe that's why Americans know what "tap" means, even if they say "faucet." Then again, we know what "boot" means, with respect to a car, too.


I'm not sure how many people on the West Coast would know what a "boot" is and the term, "car boot sale," would probably befuddle most residents out here. But I could be wrong.
