...drive on a parkway, and park on a driveway?

What gives?

Yes, yes I know all that - I just think it humorous that we park in driveways, and drive on parkways!

You mean the sidewalk?

Ah the American band 'Pavement'?

Without wiki or googling it'll have to be a guess as I know nothing of that band.

They started out as a bunch of homeless people? They started out busking on the sidewalk and thought pavement sounded better (as Americans would think it was 'cute' like they think all British words and phrases are)?

Out with it!

Ah, so I wasn't far off with the 'Americans think our phrases are cute' guess.

I'll remember that bit of trivia if I'm ever on 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'.
