What’s the Americanism* here? Different words for different animals, surely?

*Often Americanisms are older, and it’s the UK that changed (from reading the Bill Bryson book about US English).

I have read those books. Any use of English in America that is unique or predominant there is an Americanism surely? It doesn’t matter if it was an old term.

Maybe, I’m not sure tbh. To me, when (British) people use it is often with the assumption that the US version is a ‘corruption’, and therefore newer.

Decided Rocket is the second best song on the album after Hummer

The alternate version of Rocket is great too. Rearranged and kind of MCISified.

Think maybe this one should be locked to keep it all corralled in

Which one of you just offered me £200 on discogs for my Siamese Dream vinyl?

As if anyone in this thread would be that cheap…

Damn, in my poor-ass post uni days i sold mine for a tenner!

its interesting how MCISified it is as, I always think of mellon collie to be defined by its sounds, all the different styles and carefully crafted textures, but this for the most part is just distorted guitars banging out the song (think james has some kind of harmoniser delay thing going on in parts, but otherwise really basic), so it cool that they can conjure up that vibe just through how they play it
