Roach Vs Cockroach?

Re: Roach Vs Cockroach?

man, some of you folks have wayyy too much free time.. maybe you guys should take a look at becoming linguists or something :)

but yeah, its the same thing..

a whole other topic is... the issue of "false friends".. two words that mean different things but sound alike (or are the same, as in the case of American and British English)... like a "lift".. in British terms, it means an elevator. In American terms, it means picking someone up and giving them a ride in your car.
