    I think boot (you could also say bonnet/hood, lift/elevator, etc), pants, and knob all do have the same meaning between US and UK, they just have additional slang meanings, but those slang meanings are based on their real meanings.

    Chips and Biscuit are better examples of having truly different meaning IMO.
