British vs American English - another strange difference

So I discovered another term that the Brits use differently than us.  I mentioned before for Halloween we wear costumes.  The British call it fancy dress.  When I hear fancy dress, I think formal attire so if I was invited to a fancy dress party, I would be totally wearing a cocktail dress instead of a zombie outfit.  Now I found out they call bathing suits and swim trunks a swimming costume thanks to watching Peppa Pig with my son.  Interesting!
