Another glitch, so sorry guys! Not too long again, but will try and iron it iout!
Thought I was going crazy when I saw you guys spazzing out in the video.
@@doccshady3609 Yeah I thought there was something wrong with my phone. I always watch my videos before uploading, if there's something wrong I render again.
Haha! No worries! I thought my phone wasn't getting a good internet connection or something! Lol
There’s a glitch in the matrix….
i thought my graphics card was freaking out had to check the comments lol
For Americans, Grills are underneath the food and a broiler is above the food.
Yeah, a grill is something you put food on, not under.
That's an oven. Do people in UK not have ACTUAL grills? What do you cook with outside then?
@@TheSYPHERIA I believe they call grills barbecues
If a grill is a barbecue, then what is the social gathering called? Because, there are tons of other foods that can be involved that aren't prepared on a grill. Like fruit salads, green bean casseroles, corn dogs, cornbread, popsicles etc...
I get that the food cooked on the grill is the star of the foods, but a barbecue for us is the entire package. Not a cooking device.
@@AmyLovesYou Because people misuse words 😁. Barbecue is a style of cooking that is often done on a grill. (Used to be pretty much only on a grill, but smokers have gotten really popular.)
When you cook a burger or dog on a grill, you are not barbecuing, you're grilling (even if you're putting barbecue sauce on it). But because barbecuing was usually done on a grill, the two words became synonymous in common usage. That then got further twisted when people would say "we're barbecuing" when what they were really doing was just cooking outdoors on a grill. Other foods are always present at these parties, so "barbecue" quickly came to simply mean an outdoor party.
I'm not a grammar nazi and don't care how you use the word barbecue, but you asked so I explained.
Met my ex-wife in college when she asked to borrow my rubber... I said sure, but I don't want it back... Big difference in that term!
They use a ZIP (post) code at gas stations where there is no human contact as a security measure. If the code entered doesn't match the billing address associated with the card, it will freeze the account and prevent the transaction. So you would have to steal a card from someonw whose billing address you knew to make it work.
By the way ZIP code stands for Zone Imporvement Plan which was brought into the postal system in the 1940s and 50s for more efficiant delivery. It is completely numeric unlike the British system.
But ZIP codes didn't come into common use until later, I think the 1960s when it became a requirement
When I pay with a card at the pump, I usually have to enter my pin# or zip code.
@@valg.3270 For me on the gas station. Not all do.
@@jackhogston6119 Now some are asking for phone number. I refuse, or tell them I don't have a phone.
@@valg.3270 Pin with a debit card, zip code with a credit card.
In the US preschool is an optional 1-2 years of school before Kindergarten.
A settee is what we would sometimes call a love seat, only enough room for 2 people. A couch has room for 3.
I would still call a love seat a couch if I didn't feel the need to clarify "the one with two cushions".
There are also big differences between Korean spoken in the DPRK, and Korean spoken in the ROK. The two main dialects of Korea are the Pyongan dialect from the DPRK, and the Seoul dialect from the ROK. Thanks to American influence, the Seoul dialect evolved to include English words while the Pyongan dialect has stuck to its traditional roots but borrowed some Russian words. While someone from the South can understand someone from the North, someone from the North would not be able to understand one from the South because of the difference. For example:
Pyongan: 강냉이 (kangnaeng-i); Seoul: 옥수수 (oksusu) = corn
Pyongan: 머리물비누 (meorimulbinu); Seoul: 샴푸 (shampu) = shampoo
Pyongan: 얼음과자 (oleumgwaja); Seoul: 아이스크림 (aiseukeulim) = ice cream
It's the same for the Spanish language. Each country that speaks Spanish has its own dialect. Castilian Spanish is different from Dominican Spanish, Cuban Spanish is different from Chilean Spanish. "¿Que bola, asere?" for example, is a Cuban Spanish phrase and it's our way of saying "What's up?" but those who aren't Cubans wouldn't know what we're talking about. A way to tell where in Latin America someone is from is how they pronounce "ll". If they pronounce it like "sh", then they're from Argentina or Uruguay.
How come the man asking questions sounds like he is referring that everything she says is the wrong way. It’s not wrong , just our way😁
Yeah I’ve seen these videos before and I can’t stand this guy. He definitely comes across as arrogant and judgmental of American terminology. He might as well be saying, “You’re so stupid for calling it that” every time he asks her what she calls it.
She definitely doesn’t speak for all of America there were alot of them that I didn’t agree with I don’t call them drapes, curtains or blinds for me and many others

Re: Kindergarten. That refers to state provided first year of school for five year olds. Before that (depending upon exact situation) - it is daycare, preschool, nursery school, play group (usually informal) - and some other regional variations.
7 - looked like soap to me too. School erasers used to all be pink - and more of a parallelogram shape.
12 - it can be college or University. People often use the terms interchangeably even though there is a difference between colleges and universities. Universities (do research) may or may not include dependent colleges, but independent colleges aren't a university. (don't do research).
23 - couch or sofa are common. Some regions use/used to use davenport. Here - a settee refers to a two person structure that may or may not be upholstered. Smaller/more delicate than a sofa/couch/love-seat.
25 vomiting. throwing up, being sick. I generally only hear 'barfing' from teens/young adults. Some colloquial versions I've encountered are "up chucking", "blowing chunks", "worshipping the porcelain god".
27 - ID. That's how I'm asked too. e.g. Airline flights. I've heard Carded mostly in regard to alcohol or cigarettes.
31 Drug store OR pharmacy. Drug stores (and even some grocery stores) have a dept dedicated to pharmacy items. Free standing drugs stores carry first aid and OTC items, in addition to a selection of toiletries, personal hygiene items, candy, photo dept, miscellaneous supplies and even some toys and grocery items. True pharmacies - are only prescription drugs with a very few OTC drugs/first aide type items or other specialty medical assistance items. (My daughter works in a hospital pharmacy, and it is called the pharmacy.)
32. Sub sandwich. hoagie and po'boy (poor boy) are regional.
33. Grilling is done with direct heat from the bottom with a rack/grill, (not fried) - usually outside on a BBQ.
34. Drapes, curtains
40 - The zip code/post code is used when paying with your credit card to reduce fraud. A thief might get your card - but they likely won't know the zip/post code that is associated with the account.
A debit card - that takes money directly from your bank account - requires a pin code.
Puke
Technicolor yawn.

Some of us sometimes use the term "clocked" for getting ID'd for something.
upchuck, ralphing
The male voice often sounds very condescending. What I hear is (That's stupid) we call it X. Let the guy go first sometimes so the female voice can "correct" him. Also, it isn't always a binary option. In the US drapes and curtains are interchangeable. Just like an American could say something like, " I lived in the college/university dorms for two terms." Instead of using 'semester'. I think Lilo might be a brand name. In this video 'Bandaids' is the brand name of an 'adhesive bandage'. Or Crescent wrench is an adjustable spanner. Again, a brand name.
For "university", I think what they were getting at is calling the place by that name. I've heard people say "at college", but I've almost exclusively heard "university" prefaced with "my" or "the" in the US.
Multiverse confirmed! These Beesleys seem to be from another dimension and their molecules don't seem too happy to be in ours.
07:30 Hoagie is only a certain part of the US. The generic term in the US is sub, hence Subway restaurants. It is also known as hoagie, grinder, submarine sandwich, torpedo, and poor boy (po boy).
What you call a baguette not all Americans call a hoagie, it may be called a sub, submarine, a grinder, or in a very small region (Westchester, Yonkers, da Bronx and parts of Connecticut } we call it a wedge.
The baguette is the bread only, except they don't use baguettes for subs/hoagie, the term is for actual French style baguette.
In America, what you call a long sandwich is really regional. I have heard of hoagie, but I live in NY and we call it a hero. Other places say grinder, sub, etc., so it entirely depends on where you live.
Band-Aid is a company name and they pretty much own the market so all small bandages are called bandaids.
Same with Jell-O, a company name. All gelatin in the US is often called jello even when made by someone else. The company also makes pudding which causes some confusion.
Kleenex is another company name that's a catch all phrase for what we call tissue, that which is used to blow your nose.
In my part of the US we say Coke for almost all sodas.
@@G-grandma_Army Coke is not a company name. They are Coca-Cola.
It’s also funny to me the way that they say Heinz beans. We call them Pork n Beans. And we have many brands of the beans. We have vegetarian beans as well.
@@G-grandma_Army This is so odd to me. I lived in Georgia for 30 plus years and I never heard this until a UA-camr said it. Lol
for CREDIT cards at the gas station we put zipcodes
for DEBIT cards we use pin number
You two are so adorable!!!! Love from America!! We aren’t all as crazy as the media makes us look!!!
True! But they definitely are around. XD
Take it you've never been to fl! Lol
The media IS that crazy however.
@@StalloneSiciliano Georgia right there with ya. lol Watched 2 crakheds fight today in middle georgia and then loser of the 2 got pissd on by the other, recorded and all XD too funny.
@@d420guy9 fl man is a real thing!
I’ve never heard Tenerife pronounced with an "ah"or "ay" at the end. Settees are smaller than couches. As for most of the others, both options are commonly used, along with others. He was leading her to say certain things many times
Gas stations in America may ask for your zip code, then if it matches the zip code of the cardholder, your good to go. Otherwise, it’ll be refused, because it may be a stolen card.
Yeah that's for credit cards as well since debit cards offer the pin request.
It also gives the station data about where their business is coming from, which may help the company make decisions about adding more locations.
@@blindlite5264 Oh, I've had it ask for both.
I haven't been around a lot, so I wasn't sure why the gas station wouldn't already have its own ZIP code already set (since I assumed it was for calculating tax).
Post/zip code is used when using CREDIT cards..... PIN number is used when using DEBIT cards.
American here with some notes about some of these pictures
1) Handbag is sometimes used in the US, but purse is more widely used. Pocketbook is common as well
10) Band-Aid is a registered trademark. Of course doesn't matter the brand we call them all Band-Aids.
22) The package would say A-shirt, but the slang word is "wife-beater"
23) Sofa and Couch are interchangeable,
28) The whole machine is a cash register, the money and the tray on the inside is the till.
29) Pharmacy is used as well. But the pharmacy is where you pick up your prescriptions. The drug store is the entire store.
47) Dumpster is a registered trademark.
To add on to number 22 - "Tanktop" is another common term that we use to describe shirts in that style which leave the shoulders exposed.
Handbag and Purse are two different things but some do use them interchangeable...
@@michaelheath1194 We use muscle shirt a lot here
I don't know if we have any drug stores anymore. If you do a search for "drug stores near me", everything that comes up is listed as a pharmacy. For example: the whole store at CVS is called CVS Pharmacy even though the actual pharmacy is inside the store.
@@RickyForITZY You're right! I forgot about that one.
That hoagie may have been made out of a baguette, but that's just the bread.
If using a debit card at a gas station or pump, we have to enter a 4 digit pin. It also asks for our 5 digit zip or postcode. So on your example both answers are right.
So, on the gas station thing, you put in your PIN if you use a debit card, but you put in your zip code/post code when you use a credit card, generally, at least in the US.
Back when I was in school it went like this: Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st grade. It was just normal for boys and girls to be in the same classes. We never called it anything.
A better term for vacationers is tourists.
We call an undershirt a tank top or a sleeveless shirt.
We also call barf, vomit. I know some say regurgitate.
I have never heard anyone say "getting carded" here. Always ID'd.
For us, the till is inside the register, not the register itself.
We don't have hoagies in this area. We would call that a footlong sandwich.
For us, the grill is always outside.
We also call those curtains. Nobody says "drapes" here.
It really depends what kind of Light Rail that is, depending on if it is Light Rail and not Commuter Rail. If it is a Streetcar, we will call it that. If it is part of D.A.R.T., we will call it DART. DART has very few underground sections and some that are overhead, like a subway, but mostly at ground level.
For us, coach is a certain area on a bus, train, or plane.
Sleet or hail might be the same thing for us, but might also be different. I'm not sure. We say both anyway.
I rarely hear anyone say "high beams", for your headlights here. We call them "brights".
Long sandwiches can be called a hoagie, grinder, po'boy, submarine sandwich, or sub in America. This one depends on region. Hoagie is only a regional word.
Old term used in the U.S. for a couch/sofa is a "davenport"
Where I live we say couch, but we also would say sofa or chesterfield
Hoagie is much more common in the North East. That type of sandwich has a TON of different names depending on where you are in America. Hoagie, hero, sub, etc. I think “sub” is the most common/widespread.
grinder is another commonly used word for it in certain regions of the US too, but agree "sub" is likely most common, I imagine because "Subway" restaurants are everywhere in America.
@@calebwilliams7659 True. I've heard grinder refer to sub sandwiches, and in some regions I believe it refers specifically to meatball subs.
It's funny because we call it a cash register but we say we have to count the til which is so funny
The till is _inside_ the cash register.
Each region in the US tends to call a sub sandwich by a different name - sub, hoagie, grinder, hero, etc... And a _baguette_ would be one of the many types of bread used.
Technically, some parts of the US would say it's a Coach style bus, or Coach bus. There are several styles of busses.
I am used to hearing it called a Coach when it is a privately contracted bus used for a long trip. Usually they are set up specifically for longer trips, with fewer seats for more leg room, seats that are more comfortable than your average bus, and an on-board restroom.
@@RealzFoSho Same. I remember in middle school I would take coach busses all the time on field trips.
Yeah, here in New England they are grinders.
@@RealzFoSho Yeah, I consider a coach bus to be the nicer ones, not like a tour bus or school bus, but ones used for commuters or for longer travel rides.
@@L3M0N4NDCH3RRYZZ
Vermont here and my mom bounces back and forth but I've mostly heard "sub" around me.
Usually I'll call the rolls "grinder rolls" when I'm shopping at the grocery store, though.
Americans definitely say curtains more often than they say drapes.
She calls it a hoagie others call it a sub.
"ZIP code"..".Zone Improvement Program"
in the us if you are traveling and you use you ATM/ Bank/ debit, or credit card some time after using your pin it will request your zip/postal code for a second authorization form
Hey guys... Your video is glitching a lot lately. I thought it was my phone but others are having the same issue.
Hope you guys are staying cool over there today! I hope you guys have a great week and be safe.
In the states at some machines you will enter the zip/postal code if using the card in Credit mode......
Lady Bird was a 1960s FLOTUS.
What is wrong with your video it is jumping around
I think "chunder" is more prevalent in Australia
Puke, heave, vomit, barf, hurl, upchuck, toss cookies. and many more. 🤮🤮🤮🤡
Typically you enter your Zip Code (Post Code) if you're running your card as credit. If you're using your debit card and running it as such (because you can run it as credit as well), then you would enter your PIN.
So many of these things are regionalisms. The US is a huge country and there are generalizations that can be made but there are so many exceptions.
If you are outside of your area where your normal area using a card (debit or credity), the pumps will ask for the zip code on the card's billing address as an added safety precaution when you are traveling.
The problem with these is it can be vastly different depending on the region of the US. Many of these are things I hear said both ways.
I'd say more people in the US say curtains rather than drapes. For vomiting we have lots of colorful terms: Blow Chunks, Hurl, Puke, Throw Up, Call Ralph on the Big White Phone, Make an Offering to the Porcelain God. They overlooked the difference on the Chinese Takeaway. While we both say Chinese, we don't say takeaway in the US, we say take out. Take away is used pretty much just for subtraction in math, not maths.
Great video. I’m American and the American lady is answering honestly but some have multiple answers especially depending on where you live. Handbag and police are words we use. And some people pronounce Moscow like there is no w. Hoagie, sub, poboy, and all regional words. barf, vomit, up chuck, hurl, throw up, pray to the porcelain god. 😂
In America we also have preschool. It’s the school you go to before kindergarten.
I never liked that British-American series because it sounds like the condescending British guy is talking to a 12 yr old girl. She couldn't even remember the word vomit.
Yeah, not a fan of these videos.
That's funny I posted the same thing, she sounds like a 12 year old girl 😂
Why the hell would it be a grill in the UK? Do you not have ACTUAL GRILLS?
I hate these kinds of videos. Several are inaccurate/incomplete/only regional for the US and you've pointed out some that are not that accurate for your corner of the UK. The two people in this video can't speak for 330 million and 65 million people. Sure if you are a country of 5 million I'm a lot more inclined to believe what you say represents what everyone does in your country but that's just not the case for countries as populated as the US and UK.
We say pharmacy a lot more often than drug store. At least in the areas of the US where I have lived (Massachusetts, Ohio, Florida).
I’ve always wondered why the Queens English is so backwards and repetitively Wrong. It has confused me for the longest time but I’ve just come to accept that it makes no sense anymore. But hey it’s still English 👍
when I see comments saying we are pronouncing the English word wrong, I usually go check to see if they are actually English word and if they are not, I post the page that says where the words are oirginally from, and sometimes I get blocked b/c they don't want to admit it is not an English word
A lot of these vary around the country. I answered the way you did for about 10 of them, and the rest were like the American lady.
Except for Hoagie. That has a bunch of words depending on where you get it and the ingredients. They can be subs, hoagies, grinders, heros, and with certain ingredients a po boy.
Sofa, setee, couch, CHESTERFIELD
This video depends on the region of the US that you’re from. I’m from Oklahoma and There were a lot that I disagreed with.
I know chunder as Australian slang.
Here in America I worked at Domino's Pizza and we used to say, "it's time count the till", all the time, as opposed to "register", but, only when the money needed to be counted. Otherwise it was usually referred to as a register.
As an assist manager at Taco Bell for a while, and being a big Mel Brooks fan, my favoriate way of occasionally telling people their shift was over was "Alright, come with me Count Da'money!" A few were old or cultured enough to say "It's De'Monae!" Little laughs go a long way in soul grinding jobs like food service tends to be.
Hoagie is a regional word. Most Americans call that a "sub" sandwich.
Short for "submarine sandwich" (the name comes from the shape).
Americansp say sofa, couch or davenport, depending on your area of the country.
Some objects in the US have regional differences. Take the hoagie. That's a term that's more common, or at least it originated, around Philadelphia. In other parts of the US, they might prefer submarine sandwich, or sub. In New England, they might call it a grinder. A variation of that type of sandwich in New Orleans is a po-boy.
I've probably gotten used to hearing "grinder", but I always call the sandwich a "large sub" (or a "foot-long"; probably thanks to Subway) when I'm ordering it. I've only ever referred to the _bread_ as a "grinder" roll, and most often at the grocery store.
-Vermont
I always thought “chunder” was mainly an Australian thing.
Chunder is short for watch under. When you're seasick you might need to tell people in a lower deck to look out below
Some of these depends on what ares of the u.s. you are from, things are different all over this country.
The face Millie makes when it's called an undershirt lol. No one tell her it's also called a "wife beater"
I have to put my zip code when I use my card at the gas station near me in NY
We put in zip code for credit card at gas stations
Since when do we americans say drapes. I say curtains weird.
My town in Kentucky is GLASGOW and we call it Glass coe not cow.
Here in the U.S. we say carded OR ID’d, and funny how you can have so many synonyms for vomiting, (barfing ,puking, upchucking, throwing up).
The police are police everywhere, but we call them cops depending on the situation and or the individual person that’s saying it.
Usually I hear "police" when referenced formally, or respectfully. Where "cops" is generally by people who don't trust them or don't want anything to do with them.
Seems like we have more names in common than what this video says. The guy is almost forcing or her to say what he wants her to call things.
Everytime I fill up at the gas station I have to put in my zip code
7:50 in my experience, curtains is said far more often than drapes.
04:45 Settees are different from couches/sofas. The item pictured is not a settee.
That was eye opening. I would have called the sandwich a foot-long sandwich or submarine sandwich… and we also say police as much as we say Cops.
When we get gas, if we pay with a Debit card, we enter our PIN #, but if we pay with a credit card, it asks for your zip code. :)
Seems like most countries and languages use one word for several similar things, but in the US we have separate words for everything and normally more than one.
Oh, you sweet summer child *laughsinGerman*
It would be interesting to see a reaction of how folks from the Appalachian mountains pronounce words. To say we have an accent is an understatement. Nice and thick.
Or Cajuns in Louisiana.
Many of us have accents from whatever part of the country we hail from. It doesn’t have to be seen as a bad thing. Many seem to take offense when someone says that they have an accent. It can be the particular sound of the way you pronounce words it doesn’t have to come with a twang or thick sounding draw etc. It’s still an accent. Lol
Preschool is before Kindergarten, in the US.
8:43 that is an American fuel pump and is exhibiting the last classic security measure used for magstripe credit cards, before chips came along.

Guys you been glitchy lately
When I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath, I would get into the differences of how we say things with my British counterparts. Good laughs on both sides of how we say things
I graduated from Lakenheath...class of 79
Zip code of where the gas credit card is billed it's a safety check
Me: ladybug, well cuz it's a bug not bird...😅
When identified as a class of beetle, though, it’s still called the “ladybird beetle.”
We enter our zip code at the gas station to insure our credit card company we are the card holder. Considering how far away from home we travel in the US.
The wallet and purse one is a lie. He says bc it’s to carry money. That’s the definition of a wallet. A purse on the other hand is to carry everyday items. Such as a brush that time of the month items anything really that it can fit. Yes money counts in that I would say but you can’t put a hair brush in the wallet
A couch or sofa has 3 cushions, a loveseat has only 2 cushions.
We have several for getting sick. Throw up, vomit, puke, barf, upchuck and ralph.Ralph.
Drapes in some parts of the US and curtains in others. Typically though, I think drapes are more formal and curtains are more casual.
I have had card readers ask for my zip/post code. In the US it's fairly common.
I've always said "exclamation mark" & "question mark"
I consider love seats a form of couch.
I've never heard "drapes" outside of _Amelia Bedelia_ .
I usually say "exclamation point" but wouldn't think twice of the alternative.
-Vermont
Great video. Hello from New York. Hope you have a great day.
Millie The finger nails look good.
The couch at 5 minutes...
I'd call a loveseat.
Generally, a couch is 3 cushions or more (for 3 or more people). A loveseat is 2 cushions (for exactly and only 2 people)
@@AL-jb1mh that's why I used the word "generally" and then literally in parentheses stated how many persons it seats.
But thanks for the unnecessary diatribe.
I would say ID’d too tbh
2:45 Abuse of prescription adderall is a bad idea
To my knowledge "Chunder" is Australian.
Some words that are used in the UK and other parts of Europe are words we used to use but have been replaced, like sofa. It was always a sofa when I was young, then somewhere it turned into couch. So many things you guys and others say are things that were the same here but have changed. I know because I’m older. The younger generation really doesn’t know these things. After all, our ancestry is from over the pond. I was raised with Italian grandparents and others had grandparents from other countries so I always enjoy watching things from other countries. I learn where so much of what we say or do comes from at times. My Father was of Irish ancestry and watching some people on UA-cam gives me perspective on some of his language and thought processes. The rest is Hollywood.
I think I'd still say "sofa" if it looked very cartoon-y, like the ones you'd see with wavy backs in, like, _The Fairly Oddparents_ .
"Chunder" is Australian.
If the person from US was older, you'd get different responses...
Like vomit, curtains, etc....
Motorway may be more common there but highway is a British English word.
Throwing up and puking are the most common terms for it in the US.
Vomiting is the most common word for it in the US.
