In Australia cars have Boots and Bonnets, none of this Trunk and Hood nonsense, even though that would probably make more sense

In this one the Americans do make more sense especially if you think about clothing.
Hood = head = front of car
Boot = booty = ass of car
p.s. when people with english/aussy accents say booty it's the funniest sounding thing ever..

And then all those measures... when I've just learned that a pint is a bit more than half a liter there comes an American and tells that actually it's a bit less, like
