Definition: a large vehicle, generally comprised of a cab and a good storage area. Generally used for delivery or transport of goods. In America these have up to 18 wheels. In England, not more than 12.*
Used in a sentence: It doesn't make me nearly as nervous to drive next to a lorrytruck in England as it does in America because they're smaller, which makes them seem friendly.
*The number 12 was based on a deeply researched and highly scientific google image search. In other words, it was mostly made up, but it sounds right...
I don't know about them being smaller... they sure look big on those narrow English country roads. I have to close my eyes when they approach.
