There's a mini thesis here regarding previous subjects of American /
English:
Elevator - lift
Cheese - is it orange?
Sausage - Spicy like pepperoni or genuine English pork banger?
Muffin - or scone, or biscuit?
Earl Grey Grande - Bit of latin influence here surely
Couch - sofa
Scotch - Pretty universal, but we'd be more likely to say "whisky" (without
the "e" of course). And, if it's single malt, definitely no ice - perhaps
just a splash of water.
I thought "Grande" just means "large" a la Starbucks.
