Usually we say donkey instead of ass. We do use ass to mean rear end, and we use it to mean someone who is being a jerk. At least where I live, it is frequently said as "What an asshole!" That probably varies across the US. Another difference, think you also call an Ass, as in animal, a Mule don't you? We refer to a donkey or an Ass and don't use Mule much as far as I know.

I don't think that there are many mules in my neck of the woods, but we do have a few donkeys. I think that ass is an old term.

Traditionally they are dried marrowfat peas (whatever they are!!) but I usually think of them as tinned peas that are soft and mushy.

I grew up in England, and I miss so many of those terms.

Interesting; that is another difference. I wonder if there are a lot of food/recipe terms that are different. I see that chips, crisps, and casseroles are.

I've never used the words muffler, cozzy, cheerio or zonked in my life! At school we used to use the term 'he/she is radged in the head' all the time. Anything cupcakey is referred to as a bun. I have to agree with Gar about mushy peas, my mum loves them drenched in vinegar which makes me gag just smelling it

Interesting about 'radged'. Would you feel you could share an approximate area of the UK you live in? I think some of those words are a little dated in many ways but, except for muffler, still used pretty frequently around here.

I'm really not sure how radged came to be part of the collective vocabulary at school, maybe I could blame Grange Hill?

And would you believe this......my son has just used the darned word out of the blue. He didn't know that is what we have been talking about and he hasn't used the word for years as far as I know. How random, as he would say!!

Between parts of UK or between UK and USA? Between the UK and the USA. And, just to confuse the issue further, the terminology can vary in the US from region to region as well. Things like coke, soda, and pop...icing/frosting, grill out, bbq and cook out, etc.

Yep; I never heard "butty" before this chart. Otherwise, yeah. (Must be my love of British bands, lol!)
My fave British word of all time, however, will be GOBSMACKED. It's just.awesome.
