Must be hot in there. The walls are all 90 degrees.

They were in the closet making boulevards and I saw one of the boulevards and then the boulevard looked at me."

Does it come with dressing at least?

Does it come with a creamy, tangy, garlicky sauce that's somehow less satisfying than pure buttermilk?

Block of flats, or "flat block"

Source: bri'ish

flat(n.)

1801, "a story of a house," from Scottish flat "floor or story of a house," from Old English flett "a dwelling, hall; floor, ground," from Proto-Germanic *flatja-, from suffixed form of PIE root *plat- "to spread."

The meaning "floor or part of a floor set up as an apartment" is from 1824. Directly from flat (adj.) come the senses "level ground near water" (late 13c.; late 12c. in place-names); "a flat surface, the flat part of anything" (a sword, etc., late 14c.), and "low shoe" (1834).

Oi! Knock it off bruv!

I'll have you know that the u in colour is very important. It nake the other o sound more like a u. Furthermore, check is a perfectly good word, but you cant pay with it. For that you need a cheque, and you can't pay with those in most places now either. You car would have a bonnet and a boot, but a lorry would only have the former. Decending in a lift is no more unexpected than doing so in an elevator, and it significantly fewer letters too.

Now, having sorted out these minor linguistic quirks, would you care for a nice cup of tea and a chat about the weather?

As opposed to getting into an elevator to not get elevated? Or having a „roommate“ who doesn’t live in your room?

Hey, the rest of the English speakers in the world are able to handle proper spelling and don't need a simplified, reduced character count variation of the language to succeed

Hey, we stole some of our vocabulary from the French and we're gonna fuqueing use it! Besides, "check" already exists so we use "cheque". Simplified English is ironically complicating the language. But the 'u' in everything is silly

I mean, imagine getting into a ‘lift’ just to descend.

No different than an elevator. Imagine getting into an elevator to decrease your elevation.

Were the u's added to piss off the French? That would be very British.

when I was a child, I was sure all American cars had entirely different kinds of engines than ours, because they ran on gas, while ours used liquid fuel.

Not necessarily. The most extreme example being the Central Park Tower penthouse which is 3 stories. But in terms of ones that don't cost 250 million, even pretty small ones can have lofts, and there are multi-level ones that don't actually span the entirety of any of the stories they're on and end up being normal sized for a single family.

That is, unless the British "flat" has a different definition from the American "apartment" or, say, the Estonian "korter", which is "one unit in a building containing multiple units of housing"
