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.

Anime is a style of cartoon. The early 00's teen titans and the current "My Adventures with Superman" are in the anime style, but clearly western.

Weebs claim that, say, The Last Airbender and Wakfu aren't anime because of some mystical regional essentialism about where they were made. pathetic
