Idioms

Even if English is the second language, there are still differences in terminology. Here are the ones I've learned (or, actually, figured out) so far.

To have a survey done of a piece of land (i.e.: to find the exact boundaries): locate

To research: canvas

Accent, as in speaking: slang

Rest room: comfort room or CR

Bathroom tissue: toilet paper
