words/pronunciations i could see myself using if i ever moved to the UK, in decreasing order of likelihood:

lorry VS truck (a delightful word)
crisps VS chips (aussie english using the same word for potato chips and hot chips is dumb)
trousers VS pants (based and wallacepilled)
pants VS underpants (this is going to get confusing so i should probably adapt quickly)
whaʔ VS what (very fun to say)
/ˈpastə/ VS /ˈpɐːstə/ (unpleasant to my ears but i could maybe one day get used to it)
aubergine VS eggplant (removes the amusing mental imagery of a half-egg, half-plant hybrid)
dayta VS dahta (i am NOT calling it a daytabase.)
yoggert VS yo-ghurt (the british pronunciation sounds like a speech synthesiser that doesn't have a rule for yoghurt and is falling back to a flawed "default" mode)
tacko VS tahco (what? why)
flip-flops/sandals VS thongs (i don't care if people double-take when i tell them my thong fell off in the macca's parking lot. i will take this word with me to the grave)
speedos VS budgie smugglers (self explanatory)
lemon-lime beverage VS lemonade (why is australia the only country in the world to get this right?!)
