✔️ European Reacts to 5 Habits I've Picked Up Living in America - Reaction For the First Time
We drink coffee in the morning because we threw our tea into the harbor
Americans rejected tea 251 years ago. I smile that we still say...keep you're tea
Coffee every day.

01:07 In English, the traditional robes worn by Catholic nuns are called "habits" - he was making a pun
You shouldn't make it a habit, to make bad puns.... 😂
Touch Base derives from Baseball. When you hit the ball and run, you have to "touch Base" before the player on the opposing team does if he has already caught the ball. The expression means to make contact with someone.
Even before drive-thrus, we drank coffee on the way to work
Or tea.
And how many times did I see my mama pull out of the drive on her way to work, with her coffee cup still on top of the car. We went through a lot of coffee cups.
Our cats have been indoor only for decades. Cars & coyotes here.
Indoor cats can be very happy!!
Ours don't try to get out.
Oh ok, that makes a lot of sense 🙏
Outdoor cars are very bad for the bird population
We also have fishercats (really more like a the weasel or badger) and bald eagles in my area.
@@user-kg7co9vi5romg bald eagles can take dogs cats , I even saw a missing child case actually 2. 1 for sure a toddler was found with other bones of the bird .
There’s a case in which a couple left their toddler with their grandfather just out of view while fishing and the toddler disappeared without a trace and hasn’t been found . I think that was an eagle too .
I happened to see the cases back to back strangely , but they were so similar I think one shoe was found on one child and the other the pants were found inside out .
Nightmare fuel but I hope they get answers and it’s good to know they can really do that
@@susanwgallagher-wc6jnthat and for pretty much anything else! Lizards field mice certain insects. They're extremely destructive to the environment!
I live outside of Seattle which is considered the center of coffee culture in America. We have tons of regular sit down cafes and drive-thru coffee shops. Drinking coffee on the go is just normal to us. In my area largely because we have so much competition between coffee shops some drive thru coffee shops will be what we call bikini baristas and it is easy to guess how they're dressed.
"let's touch base next week to discuss this" -- meaning let's reconnect or make contact at a future time ( btw an SOW is a 'statement of work" a project document that describes expectations , tasks, timeline and costs, etc. of a project)
Ooo, Laurence is so young in this video. Before he was a UA-cam Sensation, perhaps?
Long time fan here!
Looks like lockdown Laurence
"Touch base" in baseball means you're vulnerable to be tagged-out if you neglect to touch a base while running from one base to another. Touching base is another way of making contact.
my morning coffee is the best!!! I love the smell of it brewing. you don't get that with tea.
It does smell wonderful, but it doesn't taste like it smells. I only drink tea. My afternoon tea is a strong cinnamon and I love to inhale the bag.
Circle Back = continuing or adding another point to a previous conversation. Touch base = talk about an issue soon but not now and figure out a plan. Get our ducks in a row = getting done all the steps of everything you have to do before a deadline.
I have a Catio. A screened in cat porch. They've been very happy with getting out just into the Catio.
I wake up an hour earlier than anyone else in the house so I can have that one cup of coffee in peace😂
My husband doesn't like coffee. But I really enjoy it. His cat is like my cat, before the break of dawn carrying on as soon as he hears the birds start chirping.
Not only are the cats in danger outdoors, but cats also can cause danger for other animals, mainly birds. In my city, it is illegal to let your cat run about the outdoors because they caused the extinction/endangerment of many native birds here. We used to have a ton of them. Now there’s barely any.
I've think touching bases, ties into baseball. When you touch all the bases you score.
Yes but there’s another game where they throw back and forth between two bases and have to touch them with the ball before they touch base . When you don’t have enough players or you’re practicing running bases .
Also we say touch base to mean solidify plans . You touch base meaning talk to them to both agree about how you’ll move forward so you don’t have any problems
We shelter a stray. She and her 1 kitten showed up in my yard. Another stray attacked her before I could get her to trust me, so I took her (half dead, thinking it was too late) for treatment. Her kitten left after I got him fixed (boy, was he mad) and she's lived on our enclosed porch, with a heated little house with blankets. I'm allergic, so she'll never be my inside cat, but she's the queen of the back yard and never leaves.
You are a nice person. It is so hard for people who are allergic to them. Thanks.
We've adopted many over the years. Our neighbor who was moving said they were going to take theirs to the pound. My husband built her a heated house with a enclosed porch. She would loudly protect her home from any cat she saw coming her way (there was a window too). She somehow was injured later, maybe by another animal and that ended her outdoor life. We kept her inside and she lived until she was 21. Luckily we're not allergic.

"Can we circle back" = can we come back to this subject later
"Can we touch base" = can we get together (through phone, video, or face to face) so that we can discus something I feel is important
"can we get our ducks in a row" = I would like for us to get everything involved with this project/work issue together so that it will run/work smoother/easier from this point on...
I never thought of "ducks in a row" as corporate jargon. It just means to make sure everything is organized. I've been saying that since grade school.
"Let's touch base" means we have to get together and discuss this. "Get your ducks in a row," means-lets prioritize what we need to get done." "Circle -back," Means let's return to a previous thought and discuss it more."
Circle back is a ranchers term also, circle around behind the livestock. In the past on horseback, now also with 4 wheelers.
'lets touch base' means to 'to reconnect later'. There are 1000s of corporate words in America like ASAP....Buy in...Table it...lay off....reorg...PTO....etc.
Touch bases: see what each other thinks about a given topic. We do this to make certain that we don’t oppose each other unknowingly.
oh, i never knew that was the reason. Hmm
Started drinking coffee every morning at age 9. And haven't stopped. And I can drink it all day.
"Touch base" comes from baseball. To touch base is to get in contact with, meet up, schedule a meeting. When I was younger, the lingo was a little different. How many times was I told to "think outside the box?" Ugh.
Touch base = To establish communication with someone on a certain topic. Originally from baseball, not corporations.
Get on the same page = Make sure you both have the same understanding of what's going on and/or needs to be done.
Get our ducks in a row = Make a plan, basically
Funny story I went to a bar in a tiny town in Minnesota. I thought I had written a tip on the receipt and realized I had the receipt still. So from home in Texas I wrote out a check with the waitress first name and mailed the check. She did cash it. 😁
Finns drink more coffee per Capita than any other nation in the world. My old boss used to drink nine cups per workday without eating absolutely anything.
Thats old school classy. Making certain she got her tip regardless of distance. Very nice!
Love the smell of coffee. Also love the smell of the beans being ground up. They smell so good.
I lived on a farm until I married and my favorite barn cats were always either hit in the road or just disappeared. I decided when I had my own home, My cats would never ever be allowed out. We have had many now, some living about 11-15 yrs and one who made it to 21.
Kidney problems are more common in male cats. If caught early it helps.
we drink a lot of tea over here also it's just most of us prefer coffee in the morning to get us going, on average brewed coffee has twice the amount of caffeine as tea. (Espresso and instant coffee have less caffeine.) but still more than tea.
I had a cat die of kidney failure many, many years ago. Turned out it was the cheap aXX food I was feeding her. I didn't know any better. Lesson learned.
Let's touch base means let's get together and discuss a particular topic. It comes from baseball meaning to touch the base or you are out. Getting your ducks in a row means to go over all your answers to a topic so everyone is clear on a subject. Can we circle back means, can we go back over a topic for clarification.
Touch base = meet up and talk about.
Circle back = revisit the conversation later.
SOW = statement of work
The first cup of coffee is the best! When I struck out on my own at the age of 17, I quickly developed the habit of napping every afternoon. I did it for one reason and one reason only: so I could have two first cups of coffee every day.
Out on the farm, cats are outside or barn cats.
Touching base with someone is a baseball reference. You’re touching the bases in a baseball game.
There are restaurants that take the tips and divide them up with the wait staff, cooks, and dishwashers.
American here. Every morning I have a cup of tea. I don’t like coffee.
Since I was a little kid I drank coffee. I have issues going to the bathroom and coffee helps me have regular bowel movements. So I drink coffee every day and all day from the time I wake up to the time I fall asleep.
If you think normal American jargon is a lot, try dealing with the military. They rename everything and then turn it into a acronym.
Cats kill so many songbirds when they go outside. It’s better for cats and wildlife when they stay out.
Enjoyed thanks
"Let's 'touch base'" simply means "Let's get together to compare notes." Or to just get together to see how one another is doing. It's also a baseball reference in a way. Which is probably why you're not familiar with the phrase. Baseball has 4 bases in which you run around to score points (or Runs) from, right? 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, and Home Plate. The phrase "Touch Base" is just simply a reference to those bases in a way that when you would arrive safely at each base, you would be touching the base, but in colloquial terminology it means like what I said above...it's getting together with whomever else is in that sentence.
Leaving your coffee on your car is one of the most American things i can think of
I’m not a server, I’m an electrician and I rarely get tips, but I received a $1000 tip for remodeling a house once
I am 48 and have lived my entire life with one or more cats and we always had cat/dog doors so they were in and out. I loved from CA to TX in 2004 and my neighbors told us we should not let them outside because of coyotes. Not kidding, that night were were sitting in the backyard and head one get a hold of a dog. It was horrible and that night took the door out and they have been indoor cats ever since. ❤️
I dont drink coffee but when I get up in the morning (at 5:45am), I start the coffee machine for my husband and make myself a hot tea while I get my day ready and then get my 6 yr old up for school at 6:15am
3:40 "Americans like to drive and drink... coffee."
I was so scared for a second!
I'm not a big coffee drinker and never smoked cigarettes. I have lived and worked and born in America
My first three cats were outdoor cats, and none of them made it past 6 years of age. My next two cats, I kept indoors, and they lived 12 and 18 years. Too many hazards outdoors here (cars, dogs, coyotes, and people that just hate cats for some reason).
The USA is really an English/German based culture, which accounts for many of the basic differences between it and the UK.
I'm with you on the coffee. As a matter of fact, I get up about 2:30 every morning and drink coffee. 😅 It's gotta be addictive. 😋
Most of our coffee mugs hold 3 cups of coffee and most of us need 3 or more mugs to get the day started.
There are plenty of Catio designs and kits available these days for keeping pets safe. Or simply add screening or hardware cloth to an open window. Pets depend on their owners to keep them safe and healthy, while allowing them to be happy too.
Lol, you saying to-may-toh to-mah-toh made me think about what we say in the south.
Don't be surprised if you hear a word with the first syllable cut off.
For example:
'mater - tomato
'tater - potato
Bless your little cotton socks lmao. I’m from the south here in America. Damn that was funny!
Louisiana drinks coffee and sweet tea rest of day
My cats go outside and inside as they wish. They are both 6 years old and very happy. I do not agree with keeping indoor only cats, but sometimes you have no choice(apartment, dangerous roads)
I think we speak directly because we don't have time for shenanigans. Everyone is getting up at 5 or 6 am to work all day and go home at 5 (or whenever they let you go home) to take care of kids, cook, clean, get ready for the next day. Although people claim that Americans are lazy, we're extremely busy and that's why we have so many drive-thrus, to keep it moving. There's only so many hours in the day. Also, it is ILLEGAL for a business owner to keep the tips of a worker here.
I’m an American and I absolutely loathe coffee. Ironically I very much prefer tea as of late. Chai is my favorite.
We used to drink alot of tea.i started drinking it at 3 yrs old with my grandmother and father.great memories. I Love you Alison 💓 farms save lives and so does self ,f corporate
"Let's touch base" means to stay in touch, either with each other, the home base, or the person/group you are talking to. Basically, it means to take a quick backstep to ensure you are doing what needs to be done. "Get our ducks in a row" means to stay on course, do what we need to do, step by step, before proceeding. This guy has a slow, funny sense of humor. I like it.
Touch base- see what each other thinks, ducks in a row - get our info correct, circle back around- get back to the point if the matter
Let's touch base is colloquial for let's get together or let's talk about this situation
Agreed! All I need is a cup of coffee in the morning and I am all set ☕️
Tow-may-tow. Tow-mah-tow. Po-tay-tow. Po-taw-tow...let's call the whole thing off.
I never drink tea because - one thing - I'm off sugar and tea without sugar and lemon is NO GOOD in my opinion. A cup of French vanilla coffee with French Vanilla powdered creamer - if you use the right brand of coffee. The very best - Walmart's brand, Great Value, is the best coffee I've found. And that includes the famous brand names - like Gevalia, etc. But I only drink 2 cups every morning. It's rare I have any at night. On the rare occasion I do, it doesn't keep me awake.
fun fact coffee is a natural laxative
Drinking a cup of coffee as I watch this. I will drink both and go thru binges going thru varieties but the one most is coffee.
That’s so true. The corporate jargon. 😂
Yeah. I think xiaomanyc has a video of corporate jargon at least him attempting it. He lives in nyc and teaches English to people at a school I think. I know he’s Jewish as he said he’s one but he married a Chinese woman. He literally learns languages as kinda a hobby and tries them out.
At least corporate American jargon isn’t Japanese business talk as that gets seriously complicated as it’s based on old Japanese which doesn’t exist anymore but it’s one giant roundabout way of saying things. There’s also male, female, and neutral ways of speaking then what rank you’re speaking to as it changes language so fast between people. Basically you speak one way to the ceo or president of the company but speak completely different to a coworker or section manager. It’s a complex web of what to say and when.
American business jargon is very neutral with a very professional demeanor. It’s just get straight into business without any pretense. I know a little bit myself but mostly through high school as my school taught business classes and you could graduate with a head start in corporate America.
I dislike coffee but love tea. But I love orange juice when I wake up ice cold. Ok tipping this is how I do it. I tip how I was taken care of.. meaning great service great tip. Some restaurants have gratuity automatically added to the check if you have 8 or more people in your party.. also some restaurants and bars pull there tips every shift.. meaning they put all the tips on the shift you work and they split it with all the wait staff at the end of your shift.. but also food servers tip there bussers from there tips every day as well as bar staff if they happen to work where they have a bar/pub. At least when I was a server that's how it was.
Curious, as I haven't been to Portugal yet - is your coffee "instant" or is it brewed? I found that in the UK, the normal "coffee" was instant (mix with hot water). In the US, we much prefer "drip" or brewed coffee. Or Keurig. Maybe the instant is just a UK thing?
When fast food restaurants in the USA first started providing tea it was instant and awful. I had to ask each time whether it was brewed or not. Finally, they provided it brewed. I don't drink coffee but I imagine instant is not as good.
True story. I was a waitress at Bob Evans in Cincinnati OH in 1991 and Pete Rose stiffed me on a tip. I've hated the man ever since and I'm 53! Yeah we remember those who don't tip.
My husband doesn’t drink coffee nor tea only Spring water. I drink iced tea (no sugar) when it's over 100°F outside but when it's cold out coffee or warm tea with milk and spring water. People around me decide they don't want their so they just let them loose to go aroumd making babies in the alleys. They cause major issues cause they come into your yard using flowerbeds as a toilet. Not too many issues with them getting hit by cars. Cats are cute but I prefer dogs.
"Let's touch base" = let's keep in touch
I enjoy watching you on UA-cam. I have the pleasure of being born in the United States of America but I also have Portuguese blood running through my veins from 5 centuries ago. I can't wait until you visit our country to me you are an honorary American. God Bless you.🙏🇺🇸💕
we have to look out for eagles here in the northwest coastal areas. cats are on there menu.and small dog's.
I actually get up at 2:30 every morning ( work starts at 4:30 ) and Ive actually never started the day with coffee. Ive tried coffee before but, just dont care for it...
The second one: tum-ATE-ohs.
Let's touch base is "let's get/stay in touch"
Let's touch base means let's go over the major points. Like instead of rehashing the whole thing let's just go over the major point of a subject and move on lol
Cats can survive better in wild because they arent as tame as dogs rhey still have that crazy side
Cats trapped inside are not healthy. My cats come inside for bad weather or to sleep. They follow me around outside and will stay on my heels for walks in the woods. I got a housecat that was declawed and had never been outside in its 3 year life. I let Tinkerbell outside the first time and she became a killing machine. I had her another 10 years before she passed.
Also be direct when looking for wife. Skip the probationary dating period and get married.
i have no idea if you read this stuff or not . who cares heres one for your group.
i am driving my truck . pulling a trailer. and this lady goes by pretty fast. she has her knee hold the wheel one hand with holding a mirror and the other hand putting on makeup. now mind you. the speed limit in this area is 65. and she was passing me at 65. that is talent.
Coffee is liquid life!
Most people who serve food make a fraction of the hourly wage of everyone else I think it’s like 3$/hour +tips
Let’s touch base means we will meet or talk again later.
Yes 20%😊
in most of the U.S your cats will be taken by Coyotes . I saw a kitten swooped up by a Hawk. I keep my cat indoors.
Could be Mater depending on where you live
“Touch base” means let’s talk later.
Cats are not native to most the world keep them inside. They follow us because they evolved to be that way. Dogs are North American, we have many species of wild dog.
When food is delivered by UberEats or DoorDash, the tip is separate, and it goes into the driver's account. I'm not sure how it works if the driver works for the restaurant.
I live in a suburban neighborhood with a lot of nature and a nearby forest. I have to keep my cat inside because coyotes will eat them.
My experience is young cats will try hard to get out for a year or two, and then they'll gradually stop trying.
i'm canadian two cups of coffee then beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a special way of preparing coffee in Portugal?
Let's touch base is based on baseball.
What brand are your superman and joker action figures?
Outdoor cats can be killed by coyotes in the States.
It is against the law for anyone with hiring and firing powers to receive tips.
I drink 3 cups of coffee in the morning
Oh wow... And during the day zero?
