It varies too much from country to country, cafe to cafe. I can't think of a single term that describes a particular drink universally. Even 'espresso' or 'latte'.
Describe what you make and we can all have fun naming it!

I boil up my single shot stovetop with whatever ground coffee Tesco had on special, I did give the Pact offer a go, but just don't get through enough coffee for it to be worthwhile (though it was very nice, thanks Pact).
Whilst that's getting on with it's bad self I put the kettle on and warm a large cup with a splash of hot. Once the coffee's finished gushing I wang it into the cup and add boiling water before topping it up with cold milk, sometimes I make the milk frothy with a milk-mashing device like this
