What is the most common colloquial name for the lifebuoy?

What's the first word that comes to your mind when you see this? Also, please mention if British, US or another variant.

As someone who didn't grow up in an English-speaking country, I really have no idea what to call these, and Wikipedia lists altogether too many names for them.

    The website of the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institute) returned results for lifebuoy (not hyphenated); life ring, and life belt. It did not return any results for life preserver, which I think should be considered American. if I'm ever drowning I shall not be the least concerned about what anyone calls it, so long as they throw me one!

    "lifesaver". MD, USA. Almost always heard with "throw", as in "She threw him a lifesaver". Also, hence the name of the candy. (To me, "life preserver" = "life jacket" = a thing you put on as a precaution, not something that generally gets tossed to you after the fact.)

A lifebelt is a common way to call it:





  • A life preserver worn like a belt.




also:





  • A lifebuoy, ring buoy, lifering, lifesaver, life donut, life preserver or lifebelt, also known as a "kisby ring" or "perry buoy", is a life saving buoy designed to be thrown to a person in the water, to provide buoyancy and prevent drowning. Some modern lifebuoys are fitted with one or more seawater-activated lights, to aid rescue at night.




Lifebelt is more common in BrE while life preserver in more common in AmE (see Ngram).

    It is a bit complicated, and no doubt varies from region to region. In the US, I'd expect it to most often be called a lifebuoy, though life ring might also be used, as well as life preserver.



    But life preserver is also commonly used to refer to a life jacket (see image below) and if you're wearing a life jacket you don't have such an urgent need for a lifebuoy.

      It must be regional (within the US); I've never in my life heard lifebuoy. I'm frankly not even 100% sure how to say it—boo-ee? Bwoy? Boy? I've only heard life preserver, and would not use that term for a life jacket. Fwiw, I'm from Michigan (also lived in LA for a decade, and now live in a plains state, but probably have mostly used these terms in Michigan).

    • @1006a - "Lifebuoy" is quite simply "life" followed by "buoy". (I've lived in Kentucky, Ohio, New Jersey, and Minnesota. Quite a lot of sailing for about 15 years in Minnesota.)
      – Hot Licks
      Jan 17 '17 at 1:53










    • @1006a There is a transatlantic difference in the pronunciation of the word 'buoy'. Over here we pronounce it as 'boy' (it is related to the word 'buoyant') but you guys seem to prefer 'booy'. By the way there has been from 1895 a carbolic soap called lifebuoy originally made in the UK. I think more people in the UK (at least of a certain age) would think of the soap than the lifebelt when faced with the word 'lifebuoy' which we seem to have replaced by 'lifebelt'.

    • Thanks, @BoldBen, I think that's probably the source of my confusion. I know I looked up the pronunciation at one point years ago, but there were enough variants listed that it didn't help much, and I haven't used/heard it in conversation consistently enough to have a natural default.

              • @1006a There is a transatlantic difference in the pronunciation of the word 'buoy'. Over here we pronounce it as 'boy' (it is related to the word 'buoyant') but you guys seem to prefer 'booy'. By the way there has been from 1895 a carbolic soap called lifebuoy originally made in the UK. I think more people in the UK (at least of a certain age) would think of the soap than the lifebelt when faced with the word 'lifebuoy' which we seem to have replaced by 'lifebelt'.

              • Thanks, @BoldBen, I think that's probably the source of my confusion. I know I looked up the pronunciation at one point years ago, but there were enough variants listed that it didn't help much, and I haven't used/heard it in conversation consistently enough to have a natural default.

                It must be regional (within the US); I've never in my life heard lifebuoy. I'm frankly not even 100% sure how to say it—boo-ee? Bwoy? Boy? I've only heard life preserver, and would not use that term for a life jacket. Fwiw, I'm from Michigan (also lived in LA for a decade, and now live in a plains state, but probably have mostly used these terms in Michigan).
