How come the Brits dont clean their carpets?

[Mike Pailliotet]

Because the hoover them instead..

For the electrical appliance that cleans surfaces through suction, North Americans tend to use vacuum cleaner, or just vacuum, and Britons tend to use hoover. Both words also function as verbs, inflected vacuumed, vacuuming, hoovered, and hoovering.
