The British are a country full of people whom can only communicate in baby-speak and somehow have not realized that. They call whipped cream "squirty cream", for example. How sad.

Wow, see how my freedom of speech gets stifled when I disagree with the very obviously incorrect British people. It would be sad if it weren't so predictable. https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/anchor-aerosol-cream-250g
Look at this shit. You cannot deny the truth forever.

British people will live in towns named Cunton-over-Cockshire and eat foods like mashed peas on bread and visit their museum of shit they stole from other cultures while eating food distinctly not using spices they invaded other countries for.

Other UKBritish companies and people also call it "squirty cream". I wish this were not true.

Which country is it being sold in? They change the name of the product they are selling to fit the market. It would never be called "squirty cream" in the U.S. of USAmerikkka.

I would have to say "dish soap" is the ridiculous one here as modern dish washing detergents are not soap (soap is the salt of a fatty acid). "Washing-up liquid" both accurately describes the products use and is not mislabeling its contents.

The one murcan word I really don't get is "turnpike" for main toll road. Why? The turnpike/turnstile is the barrier, not the road.

I've explained the sidewalk/pavement thing before. I think American English has the better term in that case and there is simply no good case for "pavement".
I'm not anti-British English, I just like good English. Sometimes the Americans get it better and sometimes the British do. Sometimes (like lift/elevator) they're both equally good and neither is better than the other. I don't see what's so controversial about "Okay the British are wrong about this word but they're right about this other word".

I mean if you are actually using the sodium or potassium salt of a fatty acid to clean your dishes, call it dish soap. You have a bottle of Dr Bronners by the sink, I'm not gonna argue.
But if you calling detergent "soap" I'm sorry but you are a retard.
"Dish detergent" or "Dish cleaner" would also be perfectly satisfactory if you want brevity.

There's a Dawn dish soap that comes in a spray bottle. I really like it, it works better for caked-on stuff and spraying down one dish gives me enough soap to wash a decent amount of dishes.
