	Many Americans don't know blinker is a turn signal. Many if not most use the latter.

	Some of these should accept alternates - some Americans call an indicator a directional - Knickers should also accept underwear and panties - and Bogies should accept boogies and snot - other than that not a bad quiz, only missed 2 of them.

	Underwear, turn signal (directional is only a regional variant, all Americans should know blinker or turn signal), a great many Americans use the word tap, leading me to believe that you were looking for something very different. Also, assuming you meant the police for cop/bobbie, that would be a better answer, as cop is in it of itself a slang term.

	Some Americans also use the word lead for leash.

	Only the London system is usually called the Tube. Everywhere else it's just the "underground", at least that's what I'd say. I thought you wanted panties for knickers and also tried underwear.. I don't think I've ever known an American say "underpants". Had no idea what you wanted with "lead", I was thinking the other kind of lead (Metal, or pencil lead.)

	we say tap in america too, and no one says underpants unless they are trying to be funny, its underwear.

	Americans do say "underpants," as a Google search will quickly reveal.
