Indeed, but I would imagine everybody in the UK knows what that is slang for in “American” even though nobody here uses it for that.
When I was travelling a lot I used to notice these differences more. Usually the difference was immediately obvious, but I was thrown in a restaurant when the waitress said “I’ll be with you momentarily” when she brought the menu. At first I thought she was warning me that she was really busy and be sure I had made my choice so she didn’t need to hang around waiting. I found later that “momentarily” means “in a moment” in American. In England it means "for a moment”…
cheers,
Frank
