You might be right on this one tbh because by definition I think a trail would be more like footprints left behind.

Yes sidewalk! Ha footpath, that's a new one for me too. Also isn't pavement kinda broad since all kinds of ground can be considered pavement?

Do you have another word for street/road too?

I think of them as a cookie even though they're technically a sandwich biscuit but that's just me!

Based on google search this is an American scone:



Which I think would be a harder, sweet version of a biscuit if that's what I think it is.

So start and I'm warning you @TS

[RileyH]

[Crimson Dynamo]

most American words like pants and sidewalk were actually used here first and have changed but have stuck in America due to America being a much, much younger country

I only ever heard tailgate used as in to drive really close behind someone, is it the bumper or something?

Yeah it says:
A tailgate, or sometimes the hatch, is a hinged board or door at the rear of a vehicle that can be moved up or down during loading and unloading. Also called a tailboard, it is commonly found in pickup trucks or hatchback vehicles.
