Here in *Australia*, ******........ we call them Capsicums.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsicum

The name given to the fruits varies between English-speaking countries.

In Australia and New Zealand, heatless species are called "capsicums"
while hot ones are called "chilli/chillies" (two L's). The term "bell
peppers" is rarely used, usually in reference to C. annuum and other
varieties which look like a "capsicum" or bell but are fairly hot. A
common Australian mispronunciation is "capsicun."

In the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Canada, the heatless varieties are
called "peppers" or "sweet peppers" (or "green peppers," "red peppers,"
etc) while the hot ones are "chilli/chillies" (two L's) or "chilli
peppers".

In the United States, the common heatless species is referred to as
"bell peppers," "sweet peppers," "red/green/etc peppers," or simply
"peppers", while the hot species are collectively called
"chile/chiles," "chili/chilies," or "chili/chile peppers" (one L only).
In many midwestern regions of the United States the Sweet Bell Pepper is
commonly called a mango. Merriam-Webster Definition With the modern
advent of fresh tropical fruit importers exposing a wider latitude of
individuals to the tropical fruit variety of the Mango, this definition
is becoming archaic. However many menus still call a stuffed Bell Pepper
a Mango.

So go get a Red Savina Habanero and chew on it.
