Swimming Costume vs Swimsuit
"Swimming Costume" is a generic term for all swimwear. "Swimsuit usually refers to the female apparel. "Trunks" refers to the male speedo-style apparel.
Quote:
Boots vs Shoes (specifically athletic)
Boots I think are the same, generally any footwear which covers the ankle or higher, shoes being anything lower.
Trainers v Sneakers (running shoes) is probably a more common difference
Also the word "fanny" should not be used in the UK, because it refers to a female's body part on the opposite side.
