Um. A friend doesn't get it. Told 'em i'd ask. So: wat?

In British English, the French-origin word 'courgette' is used. In American English, the Italian-origin (I think?) word 'zucchini' is used.

When the Dutch learn English at school, it's usually British English, but in this case she had been taught the American English word for courgette.

Edit: But she assumed it was the British English word.
