Why is it in Britain that dessert is called pudding even when it is obviously something other than pudding?

What do you mean by 'U' term and 'non-U' term? Sorry, if I seem a bit thick on the subject, but what can I say? I am American.
This idea of U and non-U comes from an essay written in c.ca 1957 by one of the Mitford sisters (sorry, can't remember which one). U basically is short for Upper (Class) so the Upper Classes say pudding, and the non-Upper Classes say Dessert, etc.
