From upthread - a stroller is a buggy or pushchair, not a pram.
Wrt tap and faucet - a tap can be what you stick into a keg or into a maple tree or a watermelon, basically a tube with a valve to control flow. You can use a tap when there isn't piping/plumbing.
For domestic plumbing, I hear tap and faucet used interchangeably for the controls, with spigot used to refer to the part of the fixture that water comes out of. There are probably regional variations. Spigot is also used to refer to the entire controls and outlet pipe on an outside 'tap' that you would attach your garden hose to (as opposed to your panty hose).
I have heard 'noodles' used for 'pasta' in the Chicago area. The phrase 'lasagna noodles' doesn't disturb me at all, but maybe 'noodles' used to refer to spaghetti would be a different matter.
Pop is what fizzy drinks are called here.
Suggestions for the 'Americans say it better' lexicon:
'Gapers' delay' - when traffic slows to a crawl to allow drivers to gape at a distraction on the road.
Nosebleed seats - the seats that are high enough up in a stadium to worry about low flying aircraft, and closer to the carpark than the stage or the playing field.
Kitty corner - diagonally across from. This is a regional thing.
Podunk town - small, boring town.
