I have always wondered why Americans call the garden the yard!! A yard in the UK is usually a rather untidy and rough place like a builders yard, or a scrap metal yard!! We have gardener to come and tend our garden, what do you call someone who comes to tend your Yard....a yardner????🤔🤔🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I think the idea of people in a single country using lots of terms for one thing is fairly universal . To take your example of bathroom- in Australia we could ask for the bathroom, toilet, the facilities, ladies / men’s room, loo, dunny, little boys/girls room, the pisser, the shithouse, bogger, brasco, john..
I take your point about 'eye glasses' (though there's very few situations/contexts where there would be ambiguity over the term), but that still means there was a point when you guys decided that the ocular variety was the one that got the prefix, rather than the other. You could have kept just "glasses" for your shades and bifocals but gone with 'mouth glasses' to describe the thing you drink from instead :D
The road is called the carriageway and is normally made of tarmac (never heard of asphalt) and the pedestrian areas are the pavements. If you drive on the pavement there would be casualties 😂
Gor blimey Mary Poppins ! Loved the accents , interestingly there is a Taskmaster task involving glasses of you could find it . We used to have waste paper baskets in our school in the 60's - they were actually made of wicker .
Didn't trashcan become popular from computer desktops. Before then it was Waste Paper Basket in an office. Of course you have a cast system, it's based on wealth and celebrity.
American English is very simplified version of English. And since English is the most spread second or third language people learn, it's not that hard to learn basic English. Ps I'm terrible speller no matter what language
I enjoy your reactions. I think you have probably seen enough British humour by now to realise that at least part of the reason this humour works is because Americans (to mean people from the United States) do not have a good reputation in most of the rest of the world. The fairly isolated nature of American society in some respects and the cultural impact of having been the global hegemon for about a century means people in other countries consider poking fun at Americans to be fair game. It's rarely personal towards individuals.
You're showing your French origins... Vestibule is a French term from the 17th century for a small entrance. It's not English it's adopted American from your heavy yet hidden French ties. It's where your pants definition comes from.
Obviously as you are USA-ians you speak USA-ian not English(neither American English, America is a continent not a country, there are more than 20 countries in America).
Terrible English accent love, also best not to say British accent that is really offensive tbh, you’re trying and not pulling off an English accent England and Britain is very different ❤❤😂😂😂😂
Squash and racquetball are slightly different, to be fair. Different size racquet and ball, for starters. A squash ball is smaller and doesn’t bounce as much. You really have to smack it.
Yes!! I remember as a kid my sister was really good at squash. I’d get dragged along every weekend and eventually they made me try it. I was so bad at it, they decided to “demote” me to racquetball as the ball was much bigger and so was the racquet!! 😂
What an achievement- Jodie managed to do all English based accents across the world simultaneously
Definitely heard some South African coming in there at the end :)
I'm here for it

Waste Paper Basket is the bin you have in your office.
Pavement is the large blocks of stone slabs we have in the UK for the bit we walk on whereas the road surface is asphalt.
The pavement can also be made of asphalt. Pavement regardless of it construction material is the area next to a road where pedestrians walk.
idk where you grew up but inthe midlands we say pavement, and tarmac
Got help the kids in school who you teach😂😂👍🇬🇧

Calling liquid fuel ‘gas’ is like calling hot cold
Nice one i enjoyed that! Great reaction as always

english is such a difficult langauage to learn...laughing in german.
If jodi did that voice in the UK, people would think she was european and struggling with the language. Not judging it though.

Jodi is hilarious 😂
Being a little biased as I'm Scottish, but the best tap water you can drink is here in Scotland 🏴
Thanks guys
Let me guess Jodi was that the accent of an Irish born Traveller who attended an English public school ? So good.
That intro went from an English accent to Scottish then to Irish 😂😂
Aww Liam Payne was there 😢❤
Its almosr even less eords in the UK, you'd normally just go Riding, not even horse riding, or horse back riding.
Nick always wears cool shirts.
I noticed in yesterday's video Jodi said horseback riding 😂
Tarmac rather than asphalt over here
It is a great South African accent that Jodie does 👍🏻
that was the best scullery maid accent ive ever heard haha
It's not water. I'm from London and it's pronounced warter
I think what you call things has a lot to do with what your parents call things, or say things.... to a certain degree.
Jeremy Clarkson has a similar type about words Americans use
Jodie went into Eliza Doolittle at one point. 😂 ❤
Look up an old Carlsberg ad. Search for “The water in Majorca” all time British classic
In South Africa they call traffic lights "Robots"!
water has foul smell in Florida
Don't worry Jodi, I can't do a British accent either!
Blimey Jodie, you sounded eastern European 😂

The accent was half English Irish slash south African... but the right volume.

Good effort.
7:57 code switching :)
Also, I find horse riding to be needlessly long in Engling. In Danish, it's just 'riding', and if it's not on a horse, you specify the animal.
We don't have a cast system
I has English by taught Senor Lara.

Roads are not paved. Paving is done with slabs.
The word I cringe at with Americans is "aluminum." It is an alloy, invented in England and is aluminium. You haven't changed other alloys so ...WHY?
it's too difficult for them to say
shall we was said very english
accents are not Jodis strong point
I don't know about that. I've rarely heard so many different accents in such a short amount of time - including several brand new ones.
Jodie: not a bad selection of accents but you have a mild speech impediment sometimes ending words, kind of a Katherine Hepburn sound to it...
Ho ello.
You're showing your French origins... Vestibule is a French term from the 17th century for a small entrance. It's not English it's adopted American from your heavy yet hidden French ties. It's where your pants definition comes from.
For the love of god Jodi, never attempt a “British” accent again (as though there is only one in the entire place).
Obviously as you are USA-ians you speak USA-ian not English(neither American English, America is a continent not a country, there are more than 20 countries in America).
Terrible English accent love, also best not to say British accent that is really offensive tbh, you’re trying and not pulling off an English accent England and Britain is very different ❤❤😂😂😂😂
Please stop the accents. They are just offensive. For furture reference, water gas an a in it, not an o.
