The fire hydrant one always annoyed me - in many countries stand-up fire hydrants are nonexistent or at least look very different. I guess they're banking on people having seen enough American movies/TV shows?

It's not like the word 'fire hydrant' exists in those countries either, so some kind of knowledge/learning/look-up is involved anyway, no?

In the UK we call them fire hydrants and they’re typically placed underground with a small metal cover in the middle of the road and a sign on the pavement (sidewalk for Americans) saying where it is.
