Huh I was not aware of that. Very different from how that term is used in the US.

Yeah. It confused me at first too.

It's not too bad when they use some word that we never use at all. I had no trouble figuring out what a "bellend" is.

It's more of an issue when they use a word differently.
Me: "Yo blondie, that's not how you're supposed to wear condoms."

I thought "rubber" meant "eraser."

"Fanny" is my favorite. Both referring to anatomy, but one is on the back and everyone has one while the other is on the front and only one sex has one.

I almost forgot "pants".
