Don't call them....

So, I've learned a few vocabulary words since I've been here. Among them:

bobbys - yes, if you call a police office a "bobby," everyone will know what you are talking about, but its a pretty outdated term, so they will probably guess that you are a foreigner (if your accent didn't already give you away).

Also, an English muffin is a "crumpet." I guess that goes along the same lines as that age-old question of what is Chinese food called in China?
