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.

    All cartoons are called anime in Japan. Same goes for comics and manga. It’s literally just the Japanese words for the media. People outside of Japan just use the words to refer to Japanese and Japanese-inspired animation and comics.
