I love how Brits call parking lots "car parks" it makes it sound so fun and playful for the cars.

Parking lot is more honest, thought "urban space use failure" would be even better. (at least in dense cities)

Looking at this thread, it is interesting how the different corners of English went in utterly different directions in only a hundred years.

It is notable that people who are way too into military crap use "parking lot" as a euphemism for the end result of bombing a region until nothing can live there. As in "we'll send the B-2s to turn nation X into a parking lot", where nation X is usually some majority non-white nation they probably can't find on a map, and yet are very sure needs bombing. Everyone knows cars need death zones.
