Its a gasoline pump. Pay with your credit or debit card at the pump so you don't have to go inside. And you put in the zip code to verify your billing address on the credit card.
Pay at Pump
Postal and Pin
Presidential Preventions
Possibly Precautionary
I haven't gone inside to pay for gas in ages haha But my town also has full service so there's always a gas station attendant.
Every gas station in my state is full service. And we also say Hoagie
In Canada I don't think we put our Postal Code in when paying by card at the pump
I've never had to enter my zip code.
In American English, to grill is to provide heat from UNDER whatever is being cooked. To broil is to provide heat from ABOVE. The photo shows something under the broiler to melt the cheese (I think). There is a special position on the oven knob called “Broil”. When that is turned on, only the top element in the oven heats.
There is one caveat to that. When done inside an Oven they don't call it grilling it's called Baking. This gets even more confusing because we call a Barbeque a Grill (and a condiment) and Baking is also used for when making breads and doughs.
I don’t get calling a cut of meet a “London Broil” either. In the US, I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a cut of meat called London Broil at the meat counter, and I have no idea what cut it is. Something thick 🤷♀️
@@kbaylor123 That's just how nomenclature works. They used the name to try and appeal more toward British people. Idk it's all weird.
@@kbaylor123
You probably wouldn't find fresh meat labeled as London Broil, because it's really flank steak, top round and a couple of other cuts. The chef seasoned, cooked and cut these meats differently (cut against the grain) than others, and decided to give it a name from outside the US that would pique curiosity and they'd be more willing to pay a higher price.
@DeadStretch I remember my parents having a gas oven with a separate compartment below it which is where the flames were. That compartment was called a broiler. Meats were broiled close to the flame from above. Baking was done in the oven where the heat came from below.
Yes, we put a Zip Code in, as well as our Card Code. He has it correct.
Its common for gas station pumps to ask for a zip code in addition to a pin number especially if you are using a credit card vs a debit card. I guess they never do this in the UK but is common in Washington State. I guess it must be easier to achieve uniformity across the UK than it is across 50 united but independent states.
@@a00141799 It's common? Where? I've lived in 5 different states and travel often. I've never once had to enter in my Zip code when physically using my card. With keyloggers using your zip code is far to sensitive info for them to gather. You can also get a new card and pin number. You can't change your zip code.
@@TheDeadStretch Lots of commenters on here have used their zip at the pump, especially in cities where there are multiple zipcodes as opposed to towns where there may be just one. As far as you traveling often.....when you gas up at those highway pitstops.....those are usually small towns hence my one zipcode point. Im not going to steal/find a debit card and conveniently wait until I just so happen to travel out of state to use it at a random BP.
@@scitizenkane1 What? The Zip code has nothing to do with how far from it you fuel up at. That was the dumbest take ever.
@@TheDeadStretch zip code is for credit cards and pin is for debit cards. This is how it is every state/county/city I’ve been to in recent years. If you primarily use debit then that’s why you never have to enter your zip. Could also be linked to brand of the bank or gas station. Small local banks may not require this.
Putting in the zip code at the pump is for a credit card charge. Putting your PIN in is a debit.( for my cards anyway)
this makes the most sense to me due to I use debit all the time and only have to enter pin, never had to enter my zip at the gas station.
"Cot" in the USA means a folding temporary bed for guests- It is usually just a folding metal frame with a tarp or heavy fabric that you would put your sleeping bag or sheets on top of.
Jail gets referred to two hots and a cot. Meaning they give you two hot meals and small bed to sleep on.
@@briankirchhoefer in most civilized jails, it’s 3 hots and a cot.😜
@@pacmanc8103 yeah you're right. Somehow is missed the jail experience.
Yes. The kids in the daycare sleeps on cots.
also commonly used when camping
The term “hoagie” was more of an east coast regional thing. My buddy was from Connecticut and called them grinders. They were always submarine sandwiches (subs) where I grew up (Midwest). We do enter our zip code when using a charge card at the gas station to verify identity. If your card was stolen the thief would probably not not know the zip code associated with the actual card owner. The broiler cooks with a heat source from above.
That sandwich has so many different terms across the country. I’m from NY and we call those “heroes”.
@@jordanmarcial3670 I'm also from NY, and we call them subs.
What a weird state.
Washingtonions mostly call them Subs. We used to have a chain called Hoagis corner. I miss that place.
Hoagie is Pennsylvania.
I don't know if people outside of Pennsylvania calls it.
@@jordanmarcial3670 Same. Long Island to be more exact and we called them Heroes. Even the shops used the name. EX: TJ's Heroes, Campus Heroes.
It’s very unlikely a thief would know the ZIP code of a stolen credit card so the ZIP code can be used as a verification, also to verify billing address as well
The thief would get your Zip code/or your Pin number in the same way. By recording your input presses.
Unless it is in a lost wallet with a drivers license. Where they usually are. I have asked my state rep to try to ban the zip code from our drivers licenses for exactly that reason.
@@TheDeadStretch a thief would simply take the whole wallet. The one with the Drivers license in it. Including an address.
@@wmason1961 I stand by my statement. It’s used for security and for billing verification
@@wmason1961 I lost a credit card after forgetting it in a restaurant and someone used it to buy gas. I didn’t loose my wallet. Also I never changed the address on my license from my parents address until I moved out of state although I had moved many times. So the address on the license isn’t necessarily the same as the billing address.
The interesting thing is that most of the American words are more specific whereas the British ones are more general and can have multiple meanings
When I was young they were grinders here in Southern California due to the influx of Midwesterners. Now they are mostly called subs although occasionally you run into an old school deli that uses the term grinders.
There are a ton of regional names for what she called a hoagie. Hoagie is a very small part of the US, the most common is sub
Sophie said that one American expression was "silly." I suppose "gobsmacked," "cheesed off," and "take the piss out of someone" are perfectly logical!
She is almost unbearable to watch. Im glad to have not seen her back. Her questioning our lingo is fine but the faces, awkwardness, and overall bleh, no thank you
It is common in the USA for the FUEL pump to require a Postal Code when using a Credit Card. Though it varies from company to company many ask for a Pin number.
A roll, in that context, is a list of names. It's called a "roll call" because the teacher goes down the roll and calls out each name then waits for a response.
Never understood why it is called a windscreen. A screen is porous, keeps bugs out and lets light in. A Windshield blocks the wind from coming through and shields you from bugs and rocks and dust and much more a screen would let through.
We have preschool and then we have kindergarten and then we have first grade.
The baguette we call a sub sandwich unless you're from some east coast cities.
Also that kind of bus specifically we call a coach bus. It's different than a city bus or a school bus.
In NY we call them Heros.
I heard them as subs, hoagies, grinders, heroes, long roll, French bread, Italian bread or baguette. It depends on where you're at in the US.
@@briankirchhoefer Eh, the last 4 you mentioned only reference the bread type.
I think I’d call that type of bus a charter bus, more likely just bus though
@@kbaylor123 I don’t just say bus unless it’s a public bus. Maybe sometimes a school bus. I say charter bus or coach bus depending on the situation. My family and I say charter bus like if we are traveling in a group and we all pay the organization/company that is hiring the bus. We say coach bus if we pay the bus company directly and we aren’t really traveling “with” the other people on the bus although we are all going from point a to b. Same with plane. I differentiate between a plane and a charter plane.
Attendance is used much more often than roll call.
So i live in southern California and some of the things we say r what y'all say. For ex. here we say curtains but we also say drapes (we use them interchangeable). Also nobody sais hoagies, we say sub. So most of these r true, but there r regional differences.
I’m from WA state and use mostly the same words as CA. There are definitely some east vs west differences
That portable, foldable bed you put in the back of your car is something we also call a cot. The military is probably best (though not exclusively) known for using cots. A crib is a bed with slatted sides solely for babies. In the US, preschool comes before kindergarten, and is private. The two terms refer to entirely different things. Kindergarten is the first level of the public schooling system, and is followed by "1st grade." Hoagie is strictly an East Coast US term for that kind of sandwich. West Coast, it's most often called a sub sandwich (from submarine). Other mostly regional synonyms for it in the uS? Grinder, Hero, Poor Boy, Torpedo, Subway (which is why the chain eatery is called "Subway." ).
A few of the British terms are ones we use, too. Like Police, for example. "Cops," is mostly a casual term; you're more likely to hear the word police. There was a "defund the police" movement for a time in the US, not a "defund the cops." Nobody would say cops in that usage.
In NY #33 we call a Hero . I've also heard it called a grinder lol
Or a sub
Usually the rest of the country calls it a sub, I've heard 'hero' from N. Yorkers. I'm from New Jersey and I call it a hoagie but because we're so close to the city, its usually a sub, hoagie, grinder, hero depending on the region.
@@Zodchi Lol Yep .Here is how it became known as a Hero
Head over to New York City, and you'll see a similar sandwich referred to as a “hero.” The term likely comes from New York Herald Tribune columnist Clementine Paddleworth (yes, that was her name), who in 1936 described a sandwich so large “you had to be a hero to eat it.” More so than a sub, a hero can refer to both
A security feature of gas pumps for using a credit card is placing your credit card and then they require your zip code. If someone stole your credit card they probably won't know your zip code. Entering your pin is usually reserved for debt or ATM cards associated with your checking or savings accounts.
The only time I ever have to enter my Zip code is when making an online purchase. Anytime I have to physically use my card it's the pin number. With keyloggers existing your zip code is a much more meaningful number than your pin number that you made up.
During the whole "zip/post code" part of the video, that's a gas(petrol) pump. Sometimes when you are traveling and you stop for gas and pay at the pump with your card they require you to enter your card's billing zip/post code before accepting payment. This is to try to guard against a thief using your card to pay for gas.
In America, an eraser is made of rubber, and preschool is before kindergarten
Here in the U.S. you often have to enter your zip code when using a credit card at the gas pump. It's so someone can't just find your card on the ground, they can't just insert it. They have to know the billing zip code that is associated with the credit card account.
Knew most of these differences. However there are major different names for objects in the different regions in the US. Simple example, soda, pop, Coke. Big place with tons of regional differences.
As a New Yorker, I call it "Soda"
Too true. I don't use many of the words the girl did.
Hoagie is used in Pennsylvania.
In NY area it’s a Hero or Sub ( short for submarine sandwich.
In parts of New England it’s also called a grinder.
They got ZIP code right. If you use a credit card at the pump, it will usually ask for your ZIP for secondary identification. If you use a debit card where funds draft straight from your bank account. You use a PIN number
The gas station one is a gas pump not a cash machine. The zip verifies the payment card.
A long sandwich has completely different names in different parts of the country.
No, they are not confused about the zip code. Here in the U.S., if you use your credit card, you need to enter the zip code, if you use your debit card then you enter the pin.
At US gas stations, a person must type in their ZIP code of the person's home address when using a credit card at the pump. This is to ensure the credit card isn't stolen. If the person is paying with a debt card, the person types in his or her PIN.
Grilling is done by heat or flame from below while broil is heating from above.
We definitely say “Take attendance”, but I think Gaynor was thinking of “roster”.
Yes, I’d say take attendance (US)
In the USA Broiling is cooking at a high direct heat from above. Grilling here is high direct heat from the below.
Ovens in the US have a heating element at the top and one at the bottom. The bottom one is for baking and the top one is for broiling. Some recipes call for baking and some call for broiling. When we pay with a credit card the machine asks for your zip code too for extra verification.
Hoagie is a regional dialect I mostly hear it in Pennsylvania most people would probably call it a sub
We enter our zip code rather than using a pin it’s common for credit cards or if you run a debit card as credit.
Flank steak or top round is what meat is used for a london broil
Here in the States we use the Zip code when we us the CC to pay for gas for the Car at the pump.
The term you're looking for - the one that describes a sheet listing all of a group's members names - it's a nominal roll.
I believe that is a gasoline pump at a service station. 11:33 Some machines ask for your ZIP code in order to verify it with your credit card billing address.
Al Jolson's movie "Hallelujah, I'm a Bum" was retitled "Hallelujah, I'm a Tramp" for British release, for obvious reasons.
Different parts of the US say different things. Where I'm from we say ID'd, not carded. We also say Pharmacy when we're talking about perscription meds or anything you can't get over the counter. Drug stores are the places you get the basics like asprin and cold meds. Hoagie, Sub, or Grinder depending on where you live.
in america, if u pay for gas and hit credit..u then enter the zip code(postcode) , u only use a pin number if you choose debit
I am an immigrant from Algeria since 1997 And a US citizen since 2008, and I can tell you from my personal experience living both in Florida and Boston Massachussets that I heard Americans use more than 80% of the British words here. For example I worked for Domino’s pizza and dunken donuts and workers there use both cash register and till. I think that many regions in the USA 🇺🇸 use British words where other regions don’t and vis versa. And that’s perhaps also true for the UK. I have also used both ID and other words …
I think there are times they overlap; as an American for example, to me the crib is the structure and the cot is the pad inside the structure, but you could say either when referring to the whole. The register is the storage and calculating mechanism, the till is the money and count of money inside the register, but you could say either when referring to the whole thing, and so on.
We Americans use cot and crib as well as cash register and till but we don’t mean the same things by it.
Roll Call is a military term
See, in the US, a "college", and, a "university" are two different things. Universities are, generally, schools that have both undergraduate, AND, post-graduate programs. Where colleges are primarily undergraduate only, or, technical, community, or, state institutions.
It's a pin if using as a debit card and a zip code when used as a credit card.
lean and tough cut of meat such as flank steak, top round roast and top sirloin. What is this? London broil was originally made exclusively with flank steak, although through the years other cuts of beef are labeled as such at grocery stores..
There's quite a few words in the video that I've heard used before in my day to day life a lot. In America we usually have multiple words for one thing, many of which align with British English.
A, 'baguette'? For the whole sandwich? Here in my part of the US at least, a 'baguette' is just a kind of bread. The sandwich would either be called a, 'submarine' sandwich, or, 'sub', for short, or a 'hoagie'. Some folks call 'em, 'heroes'.
Grinder is also an appropriate term, but it is very regional.
@@RLKmedic0315 Oh, yeah - grinders! I nearly forgot about those. Thanks for reminding me.
If I'm correct, in Britain "corn" is a general term for grain; in the U. S, it specifically refers to maize, excluding wheat, oats, barley, et. al.
"Corn" was traditionally used for the most common grain in that country. It meant wheat in the UK and oats in Scotland. Recently I've heard Brits call maize "corn" or "sweet corn."
Both are wrong
Maize is tooth shape, eaten by roasting it
Corn is round shape used for popcorn
Gas station “credit card” payment system asks for zip code.
PIN codes are used for “debit cards”.
London broil is not a specific cut of meat, it is method of preparation. You could have different cuts labeled as London broil, top round and flank stake are common ones. Best part is that you wouldn't use broiler, it is slow and low method (3hr at 350 F) so London roast would be more appropriate name.
Nope. A London Broil preparation is not low and slow. The only thing slow about it is a long marinade - typically overnight. Using a broiler is the classic technique, but some more recent recipes call for pan searing instead. In either case, the goal is a high-temperature sear and a rare or medium rare center.
@@markhamstra1083 I had it few times, prepared by same person and they did it low and slow in oven, it was rested and thinly sliced. we even had discussion why was it called broil if it is not broiled 😃😃
@@ObelixCMM What you were served, then, was simply not a London Broil even if the cut of meat may have been labeled as such and intended for the classic London Broil preparation.
In the USA we have a lot of chains so the pharmacy may be a department within a drugstore. The hours of operation aren’t the same. You can only get prescriptions in the pharmacy. Drugstores selll over the counter meds,makeup, hair products. We literally say drugstore shampoo or drugstore brand foundation.
Cash Register and Till are both used here, Till is just older.
Drapes are heavy curtains that insulate and shut out more light while curtains are more to look good.
That is a gas pump, you have to put in your zip code using a credit card.
The Zip Code Question -- What they are showing is a Petrol/Gas Station. When you put in your credit card to pay, the Gas/Petrol Pump will ask you to put in your zip code and if what you put in matches what registered on the card, then all's good.
They're not showing a cash machine/ATM
That's PAY AT THE PUMP.. you insert cc and enter zip code then choose the fuel you want and pump
Why do they need your zip code?
The best is "to table" and it almost caused a big fight during WWII when the British and American leaders were discussing a situation and one wanted to table the discussion.
In the US many gas pumps ask for your zip code after giving your PIN as an added security protection.
At some gas stations here when you use a credit card they require your Zip.
At our school they don't take a roll call,the take attendance
A lot of the British words mentioned we also use here. One thing about American English is that we have tons of words/names for the same object or idea.
In reference “roll call”, roll is short for enrollment. Roll, refers to enrollment list.
In America, a lot of gas stations or petrol stations I believe you call them, if you are paying at the pump instead of going inside, if your using a bank debit card then you normally would use your PIN number, but if you're using a credit card then you would use your ZIP code as proof of card ownership. Also, yes to heat something from above is to broil it, to heat from below in an enclosed space like an oven is to bake and to heat from below in an open or closed outdoor setting is to grill. Some people have grills built in as an appliance in their kitchen where they cook with heat from below but in an open setting as opposed to an oven. We would never call an outdoor grill a Bar-B-Q as that is used to reference a piece of meat usually cooked with different types of sauce or rubs or both.
gas stations often have pumps that ask for zip code on credit card purchases at the pump
12:00 Gas pumps (petrol) in the US give you the choice to use credit or debit as the pump doesn't know which card you're using. Most of our bank cards may have VISA or Master Card on them. If we choose debit, we enter our PIN but if we prefer to use credit, it asks for our billing zip (postal) code. I don't know why this is, as it still just takes it right out of our checking account.
Wikipedia says:
London broil, is a beef dish made by broiling marinated beef, then cutting it across the grain into thin strips. Despite its name, the dish and the terminology are North American, not British
"London broil" originally referred to broiled flank steak, although modern butchers may label top round, coulotte, or other cuts as "London broil", and the term has come to refer more to a method of preparation and cookery than to a specific cut of meat.
American gas stations will often require you enter your zip code tied to the address on file for your bank along with the 4 digit pin number. It's a security measure to prevent transactions on a stolen card.
Credit cards don’t usually or haven’t usually had pin codes in the US. So if you’re using credit to pay at the pump for gas it asks for your ZIP code to check if it matches the billing address.
In my part of the midwest U.S., I generally must enter my ZIP (postal) code when paying by card at the pump. It is a security measure meant to deter theft as most people who can obtain your card won't know your ZIP code. Yes, it should be called a 'postal code' but, back in the 50s when it was introduced, it was called the Zone Improvement Plan..so the acronym ZIP became a abbreviation.
We say ID'd and carded. Ive heard both and have used both
I've always said "brights," not high beam or full beam.
Yeah, I’d say brights as well
Some things go by multiple names: some are shared in whole or in part between the U.S. & the U.K. - & some are not.
An example of 'shared in part'...
Bachelor Party which you call a Stag Do is also sometimes referred to as a Stag Party here in the U.S.
At gas stations in the US if you pay at the pump with a credit card it will ask you for your zip code sometimes. I feel like this is a fairly recent thing.
We do say pre school in the USA. It’s before going to kindergarten. We pronounce Moscow two ways.
There were a few of those that are the same for us that I think the girl who was doing the video just chose 1 version of the word. We use curtains as well(drapes I believe is the fancy word) for example and I’ve heard Moscow said both ways just depends on person I guess. The sandwich one depends on where you live. I would have said a sub like Subway. Hoagie. I believe is the east coast. I’ve also heard them called Blimpies again it just depends on what region your in. And the zip code was right at gas stations after your pin several stations will have u enter the zip code cause it’s another security step cause if it’s stolen more than likely the their doesn’t know your zip. Broil is usually used to brown or melt something on-top of a dish. There’s 2 different answers for highway it again depends on area. There are Highways and freeways
So my very limited research tells me that the usual cut used in a London Broil would be called the Top Round in the US, and may be the Topside or Silverside in the UK. It's behind the sirloin (aka rump).
In the US it depends on the company, but some gas stations ask for a zip code at the pumps when you use your card. Some just ask for a pin number. Most ask for a pin number to be honest.
This is at an outdoor gas pump where you can run your debit/credit card. If you run it as a credit card, it will ask for the zip code. Instead of a pin.
Hoagie has a million alternatives depending on region. I’d call it a sub sandwich. Some places call them grinders. I’m positive there are even more
Zip Code: That's a gas pump, and when you use a credit card to buy gas (petrol) it will ask you to verify with your card's billing address, usually with only your zip code
According to Wikipedia, what is called "London broil" in North America "originally referred to broiled flank steak, although modern butchers may label top round, coulotte, or other cuts as 'London broil,' and the term has come to refer more to a method of preparation and cookery than to a specific cut of meat." It tastes and looks similar to more expensive cuts of steak (I've paid less than for ground/minced beef), but it's a tougher meat that's more difficult to chew. It's common to marinate the meat before broiling/grilling (my preference is teriyaki). I don't know why it's called "London" broil.
London broils are best for potato and vegetable roasts on a stove or in a crockpot. Yea I call it the pin
London broil we just cook in the oven, and I have never used the word hoagie in my life. Also, I say curtains and ID’d.
9:16 - Basically we use both BROILED and GRILLED as well as BAKED. But here is the difference.
- Baked: Heat coming from the BOTTOM of the oven.
- Grilled: Involves an open FLAME under the food through a grill.
- Broiled: Heat coming down from the TOP of the oven. You place the food on the top shelf about 1" from the top of the oven and cook it there. There's actually a setting on the oven called "BROIL".
the pin code/number is used for debit card. When you use a credit card, however, it asks for you zip or post code since credit cards don't have pin codes.
Roll Call comes from the days when paper was on a Scroll.
Credit cards don't have PIN's, so at a gas station if you use a credit card, to authenticate it, you enter your ZIP code.
For Credit Cards you use your Zip code, for a Debit Card you use your Pin Number
In the US, when you pay with a card at the pump you have to enter your zip code.
Also on the sandwich I would call it a submarine sandwich- or a sub- this changes in different areas of the country
We have Drugstore, but we also have Pharmacy but our local one is called Salem Apothecary.
It’s a gas pump so in the states you put in your zip code if it’s credit card or pin if your using your bank debit card. If your credit card was lost or stolen and a person finds it and tries to use it at a gas station, they likely wouldn’t know the zip code.
I think for the zip code thing you are charging or using credit for purchase. If you use your pin then you are using debit for the transaction with exception only for a dedicated credit card. with the pin the transaction is usually immediate but with credit the transaction may not show up until later, usually hours to days later.
Zip code are used for billing address at fuel sites
First floor U.S.=ground floor. First floor U. K.=first floor above the ground floor. If I'm correct. But American elevator (lift) buttons do distinguish between the two; you will see both a "G" and a "1" button.
biscuit=cookie
sweets=candy
candy floss=cotton candy
crisps=chips
takeaway=takeout
bits=pulp
When you use a credit card at the pump 💳 ⛽️...Oh, wait...there's already about 50 comments in this comment section mentioning this, I don't think I need to add another one.
Haha, you should say something about London Broil instead 😂
You actually do enter your ZIP code at a gas pump to verify your billing address, so that is correct as shown.
I have never had to enter my ZIP code (which is called that because it was something that the postal service here USPS implemented as marketing to get people to use it- "in a zip" would be "very quickly") at any gas station or ATM or anything that was not online...
Almost every gas station makes you enter your zip code here, it's goofy and one extra step that takes 10 seconds, but it's just a way of preventing thieves using stolen debit/credit cards at gas pumps
Entering one's ZIP code verifies that you didn't just find the card. Credit transactions always ask at gas stations.
