There is no differenceThey are interchangeable:
"I sat among the remains of the babies while my Dad watched and wanked"
Means the same as:
"I sat amongst the remains of the babies whilst my Dad watched and wanked"

I went to Google but define:[insert word here] doesn't seem to be working. How rare.Wikitionary defines whilst as simply 'while', noting that it's chiefly used in British English. It also defines among as a variant of amongst, not the other way around. Is OP's objection simply that it sounds poncy rather than it's wrong?
