English: American vs British

So here is going to be a face off of various words I like/ hate of each language.
I am not poking fun at either nationality but I thought it could be enjoyable to see how people feel about each word :)

Here's 4 words for now :)

1: Sidewalk vs Pavement :- I prefer pavement here, I dunno why exactly I just think it sounds nicer and sidewalk sounds like what prostitutes do while waiting for customers :/

2: Garbage vs Rubbish :- I am more used to the word rubbish and prefer it in the context of calling actual rubbish but if I am saying "you look (rubbish or like garbage)" then I prefer to use garbage even though I am a Brit and people look at me weird xD

3: Faucet vs Tap :- TAP!!!!  Faucet sounds crazy and even though it's used I have never heard the use of faucet water but you hear tap water all the time hence why it's better.

4: Cell vs Mobile :- Neither really... I normally just call it a phone lol but if I HAVE to I will call it a mobile
