In my 30 years of life in Canada I have never heard the term "steep" used. I guess its a British thing?
It's like another language! Where is my Britishpod.com?
Some examples:
apartment - flat
argument - row
baby carriage - pram
band-aid - plaster
bathroom - loo or WC
can - tin
diaper - nappy
elevator - lift
eraser - rubber
flashlight - torch
etc..
