So to do my duty by the original thread, I'll offer the phrase 'wind chill factor'.

AFAIK it's a namericanism which has nowadays prolly spread all over the world. I remember recognising it as a strange term when I worked in Moo Joisey - and soon realising its udder uniqueness when beholding a calf with ears lost through frostbite!

A Britism heard on Radio 4 a few times is the delightful "organised rain", as in 'a period of showers will be follwed by MOR spreading in from the West later...'
