Tell me, do you use "wire-nuts" or "Marrettes"?
Burl,
Marrettes is a trade name that never got any penetration into the US market. The only reason I know about it is because where I lived in Maine for a time, half of our hardware came over from New Brunswick.

That's what I mean. The first time an American engineer asked me for a wire-nut, he couldn't believe I'd never heard of them.
Of course, he had never heard of Marrettes, which is what everyone calls them here.
I think Fox & Hound are trademark names owned by Triplett, which makes electrical test equipment. I guess same idea as a hi-pot insulation tester being called a "Megger".
Burl,
This is not just a border issue. One can change localities in the US and then not be understood at all. While between jobs here in Michigan, I worked in refrigeration for a short time. I was a continual source of amusement that the local refrigeration parts house. Then, not just because of location, but also age. As this was work I had done in college, some of the things I went looking for were either out of date terms or now totally illegal.
One of my favorites between north and south was the southern use of "Cut off the light". I kept thinking I should get a saw.
