The standard British and Australian term for what Americans call Scotch tape or clear adhesive tape — the transparent, slightly shiny tape you grab for wrapping presents, fixing torn pages, or attaching notes. It's one of those quintessentially British vocabulary differences that catches Americans off guard: perfectly logical, perfectly descriptive, and utterly normal to anyone who grew up with it. Every British home has a roll of sticky tape rattling around somewhere in a kitchen drawer.
