We have no other word in Polish to describe a bicycle, but ... rover (spelled rower). Is anybody here aware of similar phenomena in other languages with British brandnames serving as a starting point?
Also Electrolux is often substituted for vacuum cleaner (though vacuum cleaner in its Polish form also exists). Is (or was) Electrolux a British manufacturer?
