Kiwi's are not exempt from the brand name thing either, for example....

Adjustable Wench (USA)= Shifter (Aus) = Crescent (NZ)

Also, bandaids.

I laugh at the coke thing. It's a soda, or to be specific, the name of the brand. Not Coke or Pop lol.

I call them crescent wrenches too, hardly ever do I call them adjustable wrenches, but it seems like most others here do. I've never called them shifters though LOL.

And this whole time I thought we all spoke the same language LOL. Let's get England in here too and see how crazy it gets LOL.

I've never heard of them being called shifters either until I moved here to Australia.

A colleague recently said "pass me a sheefter" and I was like.....wtf?
