Brick veneer or brick facade?

The woodworker in me can see where someone (not a professional mason) would call a veneer a thin top layer. I call typical brick walls constructed today a veneered wall.

Thanks, all. That fellow is a British subject, so there is a translation of terms issue, no doubt.

Brick veneer, meaning it is not structural. It has nothing to do with holding the building up but is supported independently by the foundation.
Lick-n-stick is fake veneer that is supported by the building itself much like any other siding product.
With the amount of damage described and pictured, removing, cleaning and reinstalling the brick may be a more worth while expenditure of resources.

Well, except that - at least here in the states - we have building codes, an industry association, and all manner of printed references that very completely define exactly what brick veneer is. You've got one mason who seems to think that "veneer" means "thin."
But then maybe it really is different in Canada. Don't you have a building code up there that defines the term?

Brick attached to a wall is brick veneer by our code as it is with yours. I was just feeling pangs of self doubt brought on by fear and anxiety ....... not.
