I dunno, I've always thought about it as "Liberal" meaning the same thing, but the US and the UK being on the opposite ends of this thing. So the Liberal parties of the US strive in one direction to achieve, and Liberal parties in the UK go the other way way.
I mean, there are some obvious differences in concepts, but one example would be the decentralisation. The UK is far more centralised than the US, and the Liberals have a certain idea of what it should be, which is in the middle of the US and UK. This would mean that Liberals in the UK would be moving towards decentralisation, whilst Liberals in the US will be moving towards Centralisation, and both stopping at that middle ground.
This is obviously wrong, but it's how it plays out in my head.
