I have thought about this, and here are the Brit words that America needs to start using.
Bin - this can be a free exchange with "dumpster". It's far more elegant than "trashcan" or "garbage can". What I especially like about this one is its migration into a verb ("bin it"), something that only the best words get to do.
Torch - much more colorful than our "flashlight", especially since the light is almost never intended to flash.
Plaster - to avoid the proper noun Band-Aid.
