Outside the US: Do you search online for a "flashlight" or a "torch"?
My friend from New Zeeland and I have been talking about "flashlights" for some time now. He is and awesome guy but always throws me off when he uses the word "torch" for what I call a "flashlight". In searching CPF and talking with him, I have learned that it is mostly us Yanks who use the term flashlight. So here is my question, If you live outside the US, when researching lights online, do you use the term "flashlight" or "torch"?
I have to laugh when I think about searching, "Surefire Torches".......LOL. But that is just because of where I am from- maybe searching "Flashlights" is just as weird to others.
Thanks for your input- trying to satisfy my curiosity......
