I'm amused, but you misunderstood what I was asking.  It's okay.  Thanks.

OK, let me clarify for you!

When I wrote the word "we", I did not mean the word "we" to mean the
royal we.

What I should have written was "the word upchuck means the same in the
UK as it does in the U.S>.

And like the U.s>, people in the UK and around the world, have a
number of expressions for the same action in their respective
languages.

Although, having said that, my father was a navy man and through him I
met many people from different navies from around the world.  The one
expression they all used, no matter how it was said in their own
language was, "the head, meaning the bathroom, usually on board ships.

Sincerely:

Dave Durber
