You guys: you are amazing. Virtual cookies and/or biscuits for all. You are not only prompt, you are unanimous; the internets agree with each other. Uneven bars or uneven parallel bars is American usage and always has been; asymmetric bars is British.

At least, it was British. Until now. And I would very much like to know who decided to change it. On the BBC, damn it! I love variations in usage, transatlantic or otherwise; I hate creeping homogenisation.

Bah, humbug. To the barricades! Who's with me?
