I love watching cooking videos. Something that these videos usually account for is the different measurement systems and kitchen terminology between American and British audiences - cups vs ml, grill vs broiler, etc. But when dealing with cuts of meat, I've seen there's also a difference between American and British butchery terms - see this handy chart.

I can understand how languages can diverge over time, but I would think that butchery would be a more calcified institution - cows haven't changed much since 1776! I would assume that American butchers imported British butchery (like they did with a British legal system and other professions) and something changed along the way.

When did American and British butchery traditions diverge? How does butchery compare to other professions that diverged?
