You know, trickson, like "Go get the torch, it's in the boot."

I understand (in both US and UK terms) everything except the torch part.

We call them flashlights here in the US.

And there you have given the perfect example. Well done.

Funny, my family calls them torches. At least my mother does, not sure about my dad since he isn't from the UK.

I believe Kreij was explaining the UK version of things... So the point has been missed by you and Dave.

Once upon a time, in a very far away place, there wasn't electricity, and they used this thing, called fire, to light their way. They held this thing, this fire, on a stick, and hence the torch was born.

I love technology.

That's simply not true and has nothing to do with prejudice. The vernacular, including slang and colloquialisms, of a region may be completely incomprehensible to someone from another country who was not raised using your native language.
It is always best to speak/write in the manner that is most effective for communication with someone who may not be familiar with what you consider "normal".

For instance, "Go get the torch", means something completely different in the UK than in the US, and we both use the same language (more or less).

I like when I need to use google translate, babelfish, thesaurus or urban dictionary to get colloquialism I'm not familiar with. That means I'll learn something new. You see, your native language does not have same international status as my native language.

Torch makes more sense to me.

Do flashlights flash? I don't want a flashlight flashing when I'm trying to get around in the dark.

Because they used torches for light before there were flashlights? :slap:

I know this! But a torch is FIRE on A FUCKING STICK! A flashlight is and always has been a battery operated light source.
