Mutt is widely-used here too. But we are kind of Canadianised (*not* Americanised! LOL) because – well, one of us has spent half her adult life there, and the other has spent more than 3/4 of his life there… so can we be excused? ;-) We have flashlights and diapers here – though jelly is wobbly stuff and we wear trousers (with underpants under them though, not pants, because that was too confusing…)
