vs 
And maybe any comments/ideas WHY this or that is named/called different?

Maybe I got what you want to say, but as not native English speaker, I probably would ask you to explain me it too 
Whatβs wrong with 
ββreach outββ?
Here we goβ¦
As a description of space, if you grab a catβs tail and start circling around quickly (like an Olympic hammer-thrower), if the cat hits the walls, itβs a small space.
EDIT: This is a theoretical comment. No cats were harmed in this production.

Living in Portsmouth, I of course get told repeatedly how many of these stock British phrases come from Royal Navy origins
Square meal is one example
So I am happy/sad to report that the cat in question is not one of our small feline friends, but in fact a cat oβ nine tails

A thing I noted when in the States is that some of the older cities, especially Philadelphia, have terms closer to the UK. For example they have a centre city rather than a downtown
Do they have lollipop ladies instead of crossing guards?
