Not just things that are different, but things we hear about through American media and have no clue what they really are, such as:
-bake sale
-slushie
-prom
-drive in movie
-burrito
-wallmart
-seven eleven
-nine eleven (just because we'd call it twelve nine)
-bases (first base etc... I understand the general concept but no clue on the one-to-one mapping)
-democrat/republican (probably more because I have no clue about the difference between a democracy and a republic)
-The constitution, first amendment etc.
-the civil war (or any american history including references to tea and slavery etc :P )
-president,govenor,senator.
