We all know that the west uses two different words for the same thing depending on where it is happening.

e.g. Secret Police vs Plainclothes Officer
Regime vs Government

Can we have a compilation thread of these words? I am probably using many of them unconsciously without critical examination.

Indeed we produce and consume comics that are pretty different from the US and Japanese ones, both in France and Belgium and other countries. France and Belgium used to have some pretty well-known ones but that's a bit old news

We say "Bandes dessinées"
