I've lived in California, Ohio, and Texas. Never heard of an ABC store.
Highway is a generally high speed road, but it may have side streets and even stoplights. Freeways have no stoplights or side entrances. Freeway entrances and exits have a ramp leading to either an underpass or overpass for the side streets.
I have also heard the more delicate, washroom, used for bathroom.
Tractor trailer seems to have been overtaken by 18-wheeler.
Chips is not descriptive enough. We have potato chips and corn chips.
In most of Texas, the letters HEB are synonymous with grocery store. HEB is a privately held grocery/drug store which is branching out with some experimenting with furniture. Their only competitor in their markets is Walmart.

In Australia, the choc-chip style cookies are still called cookies. We also use the word candy for hard candies like candy canes and rock candy. A bathroom is the actual room where you have a bathtub/shower/toilet. The toilets are called toilets or a restroom. A petrol station is also colloquially called a servo.

In the US we also call a store where you can by alcoholic beverages, a liquor store and in Massachusetts, it’s called a package store. Currently, these are the 17 control states where the state government controls at least some aspect of liquor sales: Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. The states of Alabama, Idaho, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah and Virginia all own the liquor stores directly. Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, Wyoming and West Virginia pull the strings from on high, selling a selection of spirits to all private vendors. The state sets minimum costs, essentially dictating prices on the consumer level. First of all, control states decide where you can shop. While in free-for-all states like California and Louisiana you can pick up a bottle of tequila with your shampoo at the drugstore, in a control state you have to go specifically to a state-run shop. Once there, you will typically see fewer brands than in stores in other states, with an especially glaring lack of craft brands, since small companies may lack the time and resources to navigate the legal system to get their products on the shelf. You may even find a store completely closed. While most states have moved to revoke blue laws (those that enforce religious standards like the sanctity of the Sabbath), state-run stores may be closed or limit hours on Sundays, like in Alabama where stores are closed until noon on Sundays. Closures and limited hours are also the norm on federal holidays. State-run stores conceivably generate income for the state, money that could be put towards education, infrastructure, you name it, in addition to standardized, effective training for liquor store workers (which states argue will help prevent workers from accidentally selling to people under the age of 21). Control states also dictate where people can buy booze, restricting the number of liquor stores and, state control advocates argue, preventing liquor stores from proliferating into every corner of society. Arguments for privatization of any industry almost always focus on lower consumer prices driven by competition. A 2014 study found that liquor in privatized states was $2.03 cheaper on average. If you’re anything like us, that savings adds up quick (if only to expand our collection of two-dollar bills). Private liquor stores also exercise much more freedom in what brands they stock, passing on more selection to drinkers. Finally, private stores benefit small craft distillers who can easily meet liquor regulations in other states but cannot run the obstacle course of ABC rules. What happens when a state privatizes? Washington state residents voted to privatize their liquor stores in 2012, providing a pretty clear case study. Over two years, prices actually rose under the new private system from an average of $21.19 to $24.39 per liter of liquor—but that’s only because legislators added license fees for retailers and distributors to recoup the lost revenue. Meanwhile, the number of liquor stores ballooned from 329 to 1, 400. While that sort of expanded market may seem like a good thing, many residents who voted for privatization expressed remorse for that decision a few years later, citing the massive surge in liquor stores. Highway is most common in the US, but freeway, and expressway are used as well.
