I also stream on Twitch just for fun so be sure to hop on sometime.
See you in the next video!
Amy :)
"Runners" is so much more sensible, isn't it?
"Hey, I might need to go for a run"
vs.
"Hey, I might need to play tennis in these"
In Dublin we call a push chair a buggy! and a you give a baby a soother (pacifier).
Or a ‘doody’ haha
This was very informative Amy! I was surprised I knew some of the similarities. Aldi’s has that shopping cart system you enter a quarter and get it back when you return the shopping cart. You two are just soooo adorable together! 🥰🎊✨😃🎉🎊✨😃🥰
I would add that America's tipping culture is really not a nice gesture, but more a necessity due to it being legal to pay service staff under minimum wage.
A comforter is more fluffy than a quilt & can be used in a duvet cover. I agree that quilts are a handmade or sewn item. Euros are different sizes which makes it easy to know by feel which bills or coins (different edges) values, makes life easier on those with sight impairment. I used to live in SoCal, there are ALDI’s there now. You’ll need a quarter for the locking shopping cart or buggy if you’re in the south. Things are called different names depending on what part of the USA you are in.
Absolutely love this!!
Y'all both ROCK so much...🤘🤘
Thank y'all so much, for the smiles, from this Texas/Irish blooded FELLA! ❤❤
Sorry I missed the premiere. You two have an amazing rapport ♥️♥️♥️ Love your videos ♥️
i had a professor in college that's from Sweden and he said vitamin the same way as Amy!
I don't know when they started calling it a "Bachelor Party" and "Bachelorette Party". But in the 80's it was still called a "Stag Party" in the USA! (Oh, at Aldi's we do have the coin push to get a shopping cart and when you return it, you get your quarter back.)
We have Aldi here in America, and they have that shipping cart system, but it takes a quarter. IDK if it is all over America, but we have it here on the east coast.
As a Canadian I love to see which version I use here. Its a decent mix of the two. I use runners and ask for the bill at the end of a meal. Love this. Thanks for the laughs
15:00 I know a lot of people who put up their decorations for the toy show or somewhere around that but for me it’s between the 1st and the 8th of December
I'm Irish and my family would usually put up the Christmas decorations like two weeks and then the decorations come down on the 6th on Nollaig na mBan
I have heard some people call it the craper. Here in the south we call it a buggy we have a grocery store here it is Aldi it cost 25 cents.
When she was talking about shopping trolleys and getting the dollar coin back that’s the system here in oz .
Hysterical guys! It's a duvet, actually! And yes, tell hubby that it is a pram!
@21:50 - during the almost eight years that my wife and I lived in Belgium (1998-2006) we quickly figured out the shopping cart system they have, and the local grocery store even gave us one of their brand of coins to use in the cart, so you wouldn’t actually be forced to use real currency. That was also the first place where we bagged our own groceries, and where we had thick plastic reusable bags.
I’m from Pennsylvania and we for sure used to have a store that you had to put in a quarter in order to use the shopping cart. I can’t remember which store it was though but I also think that is a great idea because I can not stand when people leave their carts in the parking spots! Especially at places like Walmart where the parking lot is almost always fully packed!!
Well I just looked it up and the store is called ALDI
I mean, we do say pizza shop, soda shop, butcher shop, service shop etc.. However for merchandise we would say store. I've heard stag party use here in place of a bachelor party, but don't know in what context you'd use one over the other. For us runners are pieces of rug/carpet. Aldi has the whole coin system for their shopping carts.
I used to be a cart getter a lifetime ago and I have heard them all the rare one I only heard two or three times was wagon Yep Trolly, cart, buggy are mostly normal but wagon?
In NJ, we’ve recently been introduced to the deposit for a cart system, because Aldi is here now. And we call it the bathroom here. :-)
As an American guy familiar with a Mayo woman myself, I’m enjoying your videos a lot! :-)
We put our house key in to release it, then pull the key out. No need for coins.
There is aldi stores in the usa that do that coin and shopping carts.
Its not a Push Chair, it's a Buggy!
I know this is a year old but in the discussion of bill sizes and American money how do the blind figure out what bill they have? They are the same size and there is no feature that you can discriminate the demonetization by touch.
We had one christmas yes but what about a second christmas?
Y'all are so cute together
I call it a pram or a pushie and a doddy and nappy I'm from Dundalk!
It the south the “shopping cart “ is a buggy!
I went to my debs in a limo lmfao
Love you Amy and ash
Hey Ashton
Aluminum is the strangest thing that I'll just never accept. Why don't Americans also accordingly alter all the other -ium ending elements (which derive from Latin), like "potassum", "uranum", "sodum"?
I'm close to 100% sure that "aluminum" just started with someone's typo and other people continued to be too proud to admit the mistake.🤣
Paper towels get used all over the house for us, all kinds of cleaning, so it doesn’t make sense to specify for a kitchen to me... Also a dummy!! I’m dyinggg these poor kids... It’s used to pacify a crying child, so I think that makes more sense than dummy, but I’d love to know why it’s called that! Shopping Center definitely makes sense over mall to me, even though I would definitely say the mall more. Push-chair to me would sound like a wheelchair for adults, but stroller isn’t the most specific, either. Pill/tablet kinda makes sense to me... The euro thing with different sizes would drive me crazy! Holiday as vacation to me would be so confusing! There are just a few set holidays, so calling them the same things is weird to me! Both prom/debs make sense to me, promenade/debutante. But yes, people definitely do fancy cars for prom! I had a convertible. Lift/elevator both make sense. A&E definitely makes more sense to me than ER. Toilet to me is a bit weird but I can understand it. Shopping cart to me makes a lot more sense than trolley since a trolley is such a different thing for us! We do have a store called Aldi that has the quarter shopping cart system and people will keep quarters in their car just for an Aldi cart! More stores should have that! I would say both “can we get the bill” or “can we get the check”, I don’t know exactly why, though. This was very fascinating, and I agreed with some on both sides!
Its called a dummy, because it is a fake nipple. You use a dummy in place of a real item or person. Its not like "dumb"
Push chair? I'm from cork and I've never heard of a push chair it's a buggy
How do blind people know what notes they are using
Aldi has thay system
Wonderful videos, a mixture of your obviously loving relationship and good humour. Btw, I'm from Kilkenny and we use both pushchair and buggy. Otherwise, love you Ash, but you are completely wrong about everything. 😇
Nothing worse than working in a shop in Ireland and some arsehole walks up throws a big pile of coins on the counter for ya😂
Been there! Nothing worse 😂
... I'm Canadian and we say Badminton but wtf why is he saying badmitton?
its also pronounced vit-a-min not vite-a min.
Why doesn’t your husband ever look at you directly? Strange.
Because we're filming a video so he's looking at the camera?
The "runners" "tennis shoes/sneakers"
England call it Trainers.
SO many similarities with Ireland but there's some differences
Lol you commented like I do
We have stag parties in Pennsylvania. The stag party is when you and your guy friends get together for drinks, food, and give some cash or a gift to the bachelor. A bachelor party is when you get blackout fucked up in New Orleans and wake up and take shots of penicillin.
For me a shop is a small store, and a store is a big corporate place to shop. Like Macy's or Target are stores and my favorite local retail businesses are shops. You know, like the local gift shop or book shop
A comforter is something babies have (can be a blanket, a Teddy ect) something that comforts a baby when crying or sleeping
Not to aussies it isn’t it’s another word for a quilt or the like
I like how Americans keep saying there was is correct when they use the English language. When the English language is older therfore correct.
How about pram as literal. It's an abbreviation of perambulator, literally a stroller.
You guys are awesome. Love these videos with you two. Looking forwards to seeing more.
In Australia we call these:
* Aluminium is how Amy pronounced it.
* Paper towels.
* Nappy not diaper.
* It’s not pacifier it’s a dummy.
* Quilt or Doona not comforter.
* It’s a shopping centre and a cinema.
* It’s a pram or stroller for older children.
* Tablet or pill depending on what you’re taking.
* Vitamin is how Ashton pronounced it.
* Going to the shop.
* Candy is lollies.
* We have 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 coin and $2 coin. Then $5 note, $10 note, $20 note, $50 note and $100 note. All different size notes and coins. Coins are silver and $1 and $2 are gold. All notes are plastic not paper.
* Holiday not vacation. School holidays. Christmas holidays. Public holidays. Going on a holiday.
* old tradition was Christmas tree and decorations up 12 days before and down 12 days after Christmas. My tradition is beginning December til early January.
* Bucks night and hen party.
*. It’s not a prom..it’s a school ball.
* Lift or elevator.
* Ground floor in Australia too.
* Sneakers or runners.
* Badminton is how Amy pronounced it.
* Emergency Department at the hospital.
* Toilet or bathroom.
* Trolley in the shops. People leave the trolleys everywhere too. Including in the side of your car. Most shops let you use trolleys for free. We do have trolley bays to put the trolleys in but people are ignorant.
* It’s a bill not a cheque.
Check means correct not a paper written cheque.
Pram is short for perambulator, which means to stroll etc.
We can certainly learn from each other’s cultures. I believe the word ‘holiday’ comes from holy days. Like Christmas, Easter and the like. At one time these were the only periods that were given as breaks from work. But over the years more time was allowed and this period also was called ‘holiday’
There are stores at least in Pittsburgh where you need to put a quarter in the cart (or buggy as we call it) in order to use it. Includes a chain. Apparently the main store I'm thinking of is a German owned company though so that might be why.
I was looking for a comment like this. We have a store like this in Missouri called Aldis.
@@jamesmcirvin388 yes same store.
All servers do not get paid minimum wage in the US - when I was a server we were paid much lower than min wage and survived almost solely off tips. It's one of the few jobs that can legally get away with this for some reason (in many states)
OMG, what I wouldn't give to spend like a week with Amy! I wouldn't say a word, I would just sit and listen to her accent! I did Irish dancing for 3 years here in Minnesota and I recognize the tune you have playing in the background during the whole video, but what's the actual name of it? I am part Irish and I actually prefer that heritage of mine over the other three (German, English and French). However, I do NOT drink! Never have and never will so that doesn't make me Irish in the least! I would love to go to Ireland someday and just sit on a street corner and listen to them talk like all day! Maybe at the Temple Bar in Dublin would be cool cause then I could wave to the world on EarthCam cause they have a live camera outside the Temple Bar and it's SO fun watching those people...especially on St. Patrick's Day! Those folks are NUTS!!!!
But you won't meet anyone Irish in Temple bar.
It's also super expensive, tourist prices in temple bar
Dollars are a nightmare for anyone with impaired vision. Euros are much easier to use, because even the coins have distinctive sizes and ridges that tell blind people what value each coin has. The US just doesn't make an effort for accessibility. It's one of the advantages of Euros being a relatively recent money. It's only 20 years old after all.
This made me smile so much 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
According to my dad, some stores in America have the shopping cart you put a coin in. Only a few stores have this.
I’m sorry but as an Aussie I have to say that Ireland wins, Americans are saying everything incorrectly
I’ve been on grafton street several times when I have been to Ireland so I’d agree that is as close to a strip mall as you can get since their buildings are old school in compared to Canada and the USA.
I have paid for things in change especially if it’s less than $5 for businesses sometimes like change. I tip based on how many times the server come to refill my drink, the speed of service especially when it’s slow in the restaurant and if they see how my food is, etc..
Some people say holidays and some say vacation, and yes a holiday is considered Easter, thanksgiving etc. First time I heard lift was in Dublin and some places use M for main floor in apartments or business towers.
The loo, the John, or the military calls it the head. The dollar cart system is actually around in Canada but at times some places have got rid of it but then years later some businesses have brought it back but Some people have been able to break the dollar out without using the chain.
I’m glad to see these videos with you and Ashton since Ashton has been very busy at the office and we haven’t had much of both of y’all together. Hope to see more as it’s always fun to watch, much love and admiration, cheers.
Look up “Adam ruins everything tipping”and you’ll understand the history of how and why we started and continue to tip in America. It’s sad really
A lot of people in Ireland now put their Christmas tree up the day before the late late toy show
One of the words we use in UK is a ladies hand bag is not a purse in America and a ladies wallet is a ladies purse in UK.
I love these because I know most of the back and forth, and can see why some make more sense in America and some make more sense in Ireland. Also, in the shopping cart/shopping trolley debate, it wasn't mentioned, but in my area (New England) they're called carriages. People look at you like you're nuts if you call them shopping carts.
The US version of “aluminum “ came first
We also have the dollar system for shopping carts in Canada. You put it in to unlock and when you bring it back, you get your dollar back.
Amy, I think you would find more similarities between Irish and Canadian language, not just the words but also the spellings. 😊💚
Makes sense to me she’d also find similarities between Irish and Australian words I also use Irish slang as a nod to my heritage as well !!
Another fantastic video I love it
In Idaho we have a 1 than a star
We have the same “trolley” system at our Aldi stores here with the coin. I like it, except when when I forget to bring a quarter!
I was scrolling through to make sure someone mentioned ALDI!
Yeah in Australia tipping isn't a thing, like you don't do it at all. So tipping for me is so weird, like don't the people who hired them pay them or what.
Servers make less than half of minimum wage hourly. They are tipped according to performance.
Aldi's grocery store , I think it originated in Germany , uses the euro trolley system you were talking about with US quarter coins .
You guys are so adorable! I love your videos! Besides being humorous, these videos are very educational! I'm learning a lot about a different culture and having a blast! Thanks for always making me smile! I love you guys! :)
Cool thing about Christmas is that traditionally it’s a whole season that starts on the 24th and goes through January 13th so you’re still going strong long after everyone else is back to the hum-drum of boring regular life
It's always been shopping cart for me. And the smaller basket I just call hand basket. Lol. Loved these video's. Looking forward to more! :)
Amy, at our prom some of the girls in my year arrived in a FIRE ENGINE.... lol hahaha
OMG I LOL'd at this comment! 😂
There are some stores here in new york where it's exactly the same as Ireland. Put a quarter in, get your cart. Put the cart back, get your quarter back lol
Drug companies aka Big Pharma I think prefer the word ‘tablet’ over ‘pill’.
You guys are soooo cute.....my parents and sister were born in Monaghan an they laughed at this..good craic! We moved to the South Bronx and lets just say we talk VERY DIFFERENTLY THAN my Irish cousins.....
You may like to take a trip to Canada at some point, our bills (all different colour though the same size) start at 5, and we have 1 & 2 dollar coins. As such we also have the same system with our shopping carts.
And your sweets are normal sweets, not weird American sweets!
I grew up in NYC. For me, Thanksigiving started with the Macy's T'giving Day Parade. Literally when Santa Claus comes to town because he would close every parade. After that, it's Christmas season. While everyone was there, for t'giving, some people would cook the Turkey Dinner, and others would begin putting up Christmas decorations. We tried to finish by the time the Football games started, if not, we decorated while we watched. Turkey naps never happened in my home during t'giving.
I love this because I living in Ireland go through this with family in America. But is so strange some of them don't have a laugh at the differences and just accept or respect it, they get REALLY ANNOYED with me and say, "Why don't you just say it the Right way!" Whose to say what right. They're both right. Even though they know what I am saying means, they get annoyed and angry if I don't change to their so called," RIGHT WAY", of saying it. Another difference, the way your hair has been trimmed on your forehead, in Ireland is called a FRINGE. In America they are called BANGS! I am not quite sure why they are called BANGS, which is a kind of discription word for a sound when you hit someting. Is BANG is a on a mona pia?
I just want to help clear up why we say toilet. Because originally in Europe, specifically starting in France, and, 'toilet', is a french word. Toilet means the room or space and items for where one would wash, bathe, put creams on, refresh, brush the hair and put purfume on. It or the room was called her toilet, but pronounced different. That is why there are some old perfumes and calones that say, "toilet water", on it. The room was the toilet, the place to wash/bathe and put makeup and all that, but also had the bowl in it, which is the toilet bowl. In fact in Ireland it, the item is still called the toilet BOWL! America has now taken the TOILET BOWL and call it the TOILET, and the room it is in, that was originally the toilet, is now the, "bathroom".
I was waiting for the aluminum/aluminium argument lol. I had that debate with an Australian friend of mine. A shopping cart is the thing you push on wheels. Shopping basket is like Amy said, the smaller thing that you carry. The meaning of basket is the same everywhere else, so why would it change in a grocery store? People in the South call it a "buggy" and it drives me nuts lol. For the shopping carts that are coin-locked, they actually use those at Ruler (Kroger) and Aldi stores.
I soooooo want to hang out with you guys for like a month just walking around asking you "what's this called?" I absolutely love Languages and cultures, so learning differences is like going to Disneyland for me! And then we can discuss the term differences by generations! 🤗🥳 you guys are adorable.
Why tip? What’s the psychology behind it? Surely the price you pay for the food, the service, the whole package, is the price quoted before. Why give more? The wages paid to the restaurant employee aren’t the business of the customer.
I’m from Newfoundland and for pacifier we say “dumb tit” !!! Very literal!
I worked in restaurants when I was younger and I found that when I had to serve Americans,they never tipped because they knew it was not expected.
Tinfoil ..kitchen roll, toilet roll, nappy or pull up, duggy bag I would say for nappy bag lol
another one for dummy is a soother, that's what I grew up calling it, and another one for push chair is a buggy
Different sized bank notes are better if you are visually impaired as you can more easily identify the different denominations
What about "minerals" for what Americans call pop or sodapop? 😂
Shopping buggy. The chain and coin system is what Aldi grocery store does
Try buggy for shopping cart. It’s a New England term
I love these videos never stop making these. 😅
There are shopping centers in the US that use the coin system to get your cart or trolley.
Pavement, sidewalks, footpaths
Don't worry. All the shapes fit into the square hole
I have seen a limousine at a Walmart and he gave me a sprite
In uk and e would tip taxi drivers and had person in pub.
Aldi store is only place i know that uses coin for the cart.
Ireland we call a stroller a buggy
There is a store chain, called Aldi, that uses the coin system to get the shopping cart (or trolley, or buggie if you're in the Southern U.S.).
I was just going to say that.
We have them in Ireland, the UK and Germany :)
In Germany a l l grocery shops/stores use the coin-system to get the shopping trolley/carts.
