I once read a book on exactly that. One of my favorite sections:

What we call the bonnet, Americans call the hood.
What we call the hood, they call the roof.
What we call the boot, they call the trunk.

And when visiting, never, NEVER tell an American woman "I'll come 'round tomorrow and knock you up."
