I don't think there'd be a problem if you all (y'all?) agreed that what you speak is American, or even American English. The issue comes when you just call it English and then correct Brits for speaking it 'wrong' or 'weird'. In the same way that you call 'American' football, 'football' - when it's actually a modern variant of rugby union. The failure to recognise any difference in so many things just appears as arrogance.

@@paulgreen758Ah, you mean what they refer to a “Faucet”, which is a word from late Middle English originally French. Late Middle English (denoting a bung for the vent hole of a cask, or a tap for drawing liquid from a container): from Old French fausset, from Provençal falset, from falsar ‘to bore’. The current sense dates from the mid 19th century. However, faucet was used in common English speech at the time English people emigrated to the New World as they called it then. It is just that we English reverted to the shorter more specific word “tap” after they left. They stayed with the semi obsolete faucet. Tap comes from Old English tæppa ‘peg for the vent-hole of a cask’, tæppian ‘provide (a cask) with a stopper’, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch tap and German Zapfen (nouns). As always there is no right or wrong with word origins just different.
Gasoline etymology is pretty interesting. It's actually a brand name with a British and Irish connection that was particularly popular in the US. Nothing to do with gas. Check out John Cassell. Cazeline became Gasolene became Gasoline.

Roast is meat and veg meal usually for lunch at the weekend. Possibly with Yorkshire puddings. It is a serious business and nothing to do with taking the piss out of someone.
There is more than an ocean dividing the USA and Europe. The British have a sense of irony whereas the Americans tend to have an irony deficiency. (See, that was an example!). The British sense of humour is based on what we colloquially call, 'taking the piss'. Mostly we take the piss out of ourselves or each other, but not in a nasty or malicious way. We take the piss out of our best friends, lovers and even close relatives. That's just how it is! The British take the piss out of pretty much every other nation on Earth too, that's just what we do, but it's not meant to be offensive. It's actually a sign of affection. Irony. Maybe Americans take themselves a bit too seriously and are unable to comprehend the idea of self-mockery. I don't know. Anyway, don't be offended, take it as a compliment. Love and peace.
Joke or not, this is why the American education system is getting worse. They're continually lowering the standards required for a pass rate, which is increasing the rate of unintelligent Americans overall.
That comedian is Michael MacIntyre. The show he was first on,was The Jonathan Ross Show.He's the host behind the desk.When Michael was interviewing Jerermy Clarkson,it wa son his own show.
Yeah, but it is also time we get a bit more serious and remind them that the last time an insurrectionist were given keys to highest office were in Germany and result WW2. It were when the German people bend their heads in silence, as laws were broken, atrocities really took off. US constitutions 14th amendment section 3 allows to demand a vote in both chambers to prevent an insurrectionist from being sworn in as president. Such a vote would demand 2/3 pro votes for Trump to be sworn in! Time we remind Americans to uphold their constitution, so as not to repeat the German peoples fatal mistake in the 1930´s.
Fun fact; When merchandise to the third Harry Potter movie came out on the market, one of the item was a plastic broomstick "Nimbus 2000". It was battery operated and had sound and vibration as features. They were sued almost instantly for being an "Improper toy". There were a fantastic news interview with a woman that bought the toy for her 9yr old daughter, problem were that she could never use it. Her 17 yr old big sister loved the vibrating function very, very much, and was really reluctant to share..
Same goes for road signs, we simply have universally understood symbols in Europe. Idk why the US have most of them written. And it's even more baffling knowing that the US don't have an official language.
Ryan love watching your reactions. Remember the Brit"s and Aussie's and Kiwi's humour uses a great deal of self-deprication. This is often misconstrued as being taken as merely negative, however, and here is the irony, this doesn't mean that it is intended to insult it is contextual and used as a sign of friendship / 'mateship'. You would know is it was said as a serious comment. Clarkson however does insult a great deal, and means it.
Brits generally have a roast dinner every Sunday , what Americans consider to be the roast of ….whoever, we do daily and have been doing since the beginning of time.

@berndbaasner7445 I was using the word American the same way that the host of this channel does. As an Australian, I am perfectly aware of the fact that American doesn't only refer to citizens of the USA.
"Waste paper basket" isn't the trash can: it's the little "bin" you have in the office, by your desk, where you toss the "waste paper" in. It's not the same routine. In the first one, Michael McIntyre was the guest on Jonathan Ross's Show. In the second one, Jeremy Clarkson is the guest on Michael McIntyre's show.
The best Clarkson roast was : “If you're thinking of coming to America, this is what it's like: you've got your Comfort Inn, you've got your Best Western, and you've got your Red Lobster where you eat. Everybody's very fat, everybody's very stupid and everybody's very rude - it's not a holiday programme, it's the truth.”
I love these videos XD. Honestly Ryan is so entertaining and I've been binging his videos because I discovered his channel recently. Absolutely brilliant. Love from Australia
Same here, still catching up. And his brother has a channel/ stream too- slightly different style but I like to hear other people's take and learn stuff about other places also. His ' aussie' channel ifs great and a good vibe.
I love how even a member of the audience joined in in the second video 😂. Loved this reaction. Jeremy Clarkson roasts everyone,so hopefully it wasn't taken too personally 🙂✌.
The reason American English is like that is because it needed to be simple, easy to understand and easy to learn quickly. The USA have no official language even today because when the colonies became independent, there were not only English speakers there, but also a lot of French, German, Swedish and Dutch. Then the French Louisiana and the Spanish Florida were purchased, and there were a lot of non English speakers. When the US won the war with Mexico, a lot of Spanish speakers all of a sudden were citizens. Also, a lot of Chinese and Japanese went to America to work on the railroad and in the 19th century there was still a large indigenous population with several different languages. Then Cuba, Guam, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Hawaii and other territories were conquered or acquired. Then you have all the Irish, Polish, German and Italian immigrants. All the refugees from all over southeast Asia and the Middle East. The language evolved because it needed to be simple and especially the English speaking elites needed to communicate with the workers and those with each other. And in the last few decades it's the product of a bad education system and increasingly learning through the media.
@@PersonalAccount-w2f We just watched them say thats what they call it in America, we probably need to talk to you're teachers about why they let you out.
If you really want roasting then watch Al Murray vs America, and witness a master at work 😂 Al Murray is a very intelligent and talented comedian who plays a very patriotic British character called The Pub Landlord.

It is, but its like Jello, Hoover and other similar names where the brand name or term for a product has now become the generic name for that product . Plenty of examples like this exist, such as Google, Zipper, Scotchtape, Sellotape, Roller Blade, Photoshop, Breathalyser, Xerox, Kleenex, Heroin, Band-Aid, Crock-Pot, Taser etc have all become nouns (and some also verbs) that are synonyms associated with those type of products, regardless of who the manufacturer is. Interestingly, both 'Gasoline' (or 'Gazeline' as it originated) and 'Petrol' were both used as different brand names from rival companies, for the product that is commonly known as liquid petroleum, ironically, both were British brands, and even had different uses until the motorcar became common, but eventually, Gasoline was a more popular product in America, while Petrol was more popular in Britain, and the brand names then stuck as the generic term for liquid petroleum in the respective countries.
Don't sweat it Ryan. The Poms have been making fun of themselves for a very long time & they don't mind taking the piss out of us Down Under either. However you should write to congress to get the day put before the month when displaying the date...pleeease! Cheers from Australia mate.👍👍
@@paulaz5009 Or even less direct they “go to the rest room”. This made me laugh when I first heard it. I am English born and bred and it is never used by Brits (the word not the location!). When I first heard it I thought Americans must be so tired all day long that they needed dedicated rooms to rest in. Ha ha! Really!
@ I know. Its not like we all dont know what happens there. I am still surprised how prudish America is in regard to linguistics. Europeans are way more direct and rarely employ euphemisms for such things. I doubt that Americans use the word “Urinal” because of it’s direct reference to “urine”. The French happily use the terms “Pissoir” which no doubt cause Americans to blush because it contains the English word “piss”, a derivative of “pissier” the French verb for “to piss”. Of course “piss” has been a common word in English since Shakespeares usage of it in his plays but it actually cone from the Latín root “pissiare”.
even in french we say "toilette" bathroom is for shower or bath but i think it maybe because their toilet is always in their bathroom, they don't have separated toilet in their "paper" home for what i know 😂
If it's anything like me, he's heard the term, but in normal everyday language almost nobody actually calls it that. It's usually just "the trash(can)", maybe different in different places
@Savag3174 Because us British don't generally use the word trash we say rubbish and we don't use the word can we say bin our full version of trash can is rubbish bin usually shortened to just bin.
1:54 I love he completely proves Michael’s point right here 😂 he even says yea but the sidewalk is specifically where we walk, completely gone over his head 😂
The serious answer is it's short for gasoline, which is more accurate than petrol (petroleum). Gasoline is what is refined from petroleum, you're not literally putting raw petroleum in the car.
According to google: In the United States, the term "sidewalk" is more commonly used than "pavement" to refer to a paved path for people to walk along the side of a road. However, "pavement" is more common in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth of Nations countries, as well as in some parts of the Mid-Atlantic United States. What is the meaning of the word pavement? PAVEMENT definition and meaning | Collins English Dictionary A pavement is a path with a hard surface, usually by the side of a road.

We speak proper English whereas you speak American English - which is like English for beginners😁. I blame Webster who hated the British so much he made his own dictionary and changed all the spellings to phonetic ones - presumably because he thought the proper spellings were too complicated for the American population.🤔🤣🤣🤣 To be fair phonetic spellings are more logical, but it's not English. N.B. When it comes to words that exactly describe what you do the Germans are the masters and is why a paragraph in German is far longer than the same paragraph in other languages.😀
Easier for literacy rates and ESL learners, I feel like English still has a lot of mess though. But like with simplifications done with Chinese hanzi and Japanese kanji, what can happen is just having two forms to learn instead of one (to an extent). Also like the UK and US have going on with measurement systems. Also, English has changed a lot before it came to what it is, so with that logic you could argue against British English, too. Notably with how it changed the R's, and everyone thinks America is weird for sticking to how it was originally, as imported from England (often not realizing this). It seems both have diverged, just in different ways, from the common source. (Just not dramatically.)
@@cindz4618 As an English teacher, I prefer to think of it as the offspring of the strongest breeds. The merging and mutation of Germanic and Romance linguistics have produced an extraordinarily rich and precise language.

One thing that slightly bothers me is what we call Spaghetti or pasta they call noodles... why? Perhaps other parts of the world other than America also uses the word, idk.
It is odd, especially with so many Italuan descendants living there. Anywhere else Spaghetti is Italian pasta, and Noodles are SE Asian I dint get it because they have different tastes and textures, despite being very similar 🤷♀️
BOO-ee. One wonders how they pronounce "buoyant"--"BOO-ee-ant?" Presumably they are differentiating floating navigation markers from juvenile males, though one wonders about the necessity.
Your brother just reacted to "worst British biscuits" but was stumped by the concept of 'soggy biscuit'. Since you are the more worldly and experienced of the family, you might want to have a private word with him to explain.
The only real American thing that bugs me is when they put month before day and year.
Agreed. Counter-logical.
It makes a kind of sense because when one says the date it follows that order. Writing it in that order doesn't make the same kind of sense.

Late Middle English (denoting a bung for the vent hole of a cask, or a tap for drawing liquid from a container): from Old French fausset, from Provençal falset, from falsar ‘to bore’. The current sense dates from the mid 19th century.
However, faucet was used in common English speech at the time English people emigrated to the New World as they called it then. It is just that we English reverted to the shorter more specific word “tap” after they left. They stayed with the semi obsolete faucet.
Tap comes from Old English tæppa ‘peg for the vent-hole of a cask’, tæppian ‘provide (a cask) with a stopper’, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch tap and German Zapfen (nouns).
As always there is no right or wrong with word origins just different.
"they call a liquid gas" that line will always be funny to me. i get its short for gasoline, but its still funny
If somebody says they got gas do they mean petrol or stomach issues?
@@elinahamalainen5867 - The only vehicles I know that "get gas" are the ones that run on LPG or natural gas. 😄
And they call it "football" but 99% of the time they're holding the ball in their hands...
Uk call it petrol or diesel depending on what your car runs on
Gasoline etymology is pretty interesting. It's actually a brand name with a British and Irish connection that was particularly popular in the US. Nothing to do with gas. Check out John Cassell. Cazeline became Gasolene became Gasoline.

You call it gas because it's short for gasolene. In other English speaking countries it's often called petrol which is short for petroleum.
Most of Europe call it benzin (bensene)
It took me so long to realise what 'roast' meant, but when I did it was what we Brits had been doing forever.
aka 'Taking the piss' out of someone.
ua-cam.com/video/ZblPwNLH6hg/v-deo.html
Aye, it's just banter.
@@Pandemonis well banter is usually something going both ways between 2 or more people.....roasting is just one sided xd
Roast is meat and veg meal usually for lunch at the weekend. Possibly with Yorkshire puddings. It is a serious business and nothing to do with taking the piss out of someone.
There is more than an ocean dividing the USA and Europe.
The British have a sense of irony whereas the Americans tend to have an irony deficiency. (See, that was an example!).
The British sense of humour is based on what we colloquially call, 'taking the piss'. Mostly we take the piss out of ourselves or each other, but not in a nasty or malicious way.
We take the piss out of our best friends, lovers and even close relatives. That's just how it is!
The British take the piss out of pretty much every other nation on Earth too, that's just what we do, but it's not meant to be offensive. It's actually a sign of affection. Irony.
Maybe Americans take themselves a bit too seriously and are unable to comprehend the idea of self-mockery. I don't know.
Anyway, don't be offended, take it as a compliment. Love and peace.
Americans don't have an Irony Deficiency...
They just think that Irony is like Goldy or Silvery, except it's made of iron...

So sorry, Ryan. We only roast our best friends
Yeah, but it is also time we get a bit more serious and remind them that the last time an insurrectionist were given keys to highest office were in Germany and result WW2. It were when the German people bend their heads in silence, as laws were broken, atrocities really took off. US constitutions 14th amendment section 3 allows to demand a vote in both chambers to prevent an insurrectionist from being sworn in as president. Such a vote would demand 2/3 pro votes for Trump to be sworn in! Time we remind Americans to uphold their constitution, so as not to repeat the German peoples fatal mistake in the 1930´s.
You could find only 2? For starters check Stephen Fry on Americans and american culture.
I don’t think he liked it that much to watch more…
I saw the vid already! Take that copyright claim! Also, while Clarkson is a debatable chap...his quips and sarcasm is phenomenal.
Fun fact; When merchandise to the third Harry Potter movie came out on the market, one of the item was a plastic broomstick "Nimbus 2000". It was battery operated and had sound and vibration as features. They were sued almost instantly for being an "Improper toy". There were a fantastic news interview with a woman that bought the toy for her 9yr old daughter, problem were that she could never use it. Her 17 yr old big sister loved the vibrating function very, very much, and was really reluctant to share..

Ryan love watching your reactions. Remember the Brit"s and Aussie's and Kiwi's humour uses a great deal of self-deprication. This is often misconstrued as being taken as merely negative, however, and here is the irony, this doesn't mean that it is intended to insult it is contextual and used as a sign of friendship / 'mateship'.
You would know is it was said as a serious comment. Clarkson however does insult a great deal, and means it.
I agree. I think Ryan was a little uncomfortable with some of the "roasts".
Brits generally have a roast dinner every Sunday , what Americans consider to be the roast of ….whoever, we do daily and have been doing since the beginning of time.
NZ English:
Foot path
Bin or rubbish Bin
Glasses not eye glasses
Squash not racquet ball
Horse riding not horse back riding.
See, l can understand you mate.. plain and clear!
A footpath is where your feet go, as opposed to sidewalk (who walks in the centre of the road? Don't answer that, there's a few!!).
Keep the ANZAC spirit goin' fella.. we (Aussies and Kiwis) can dig at ea other all day... anyone else gets involved...

@berndbaasner7445 I was using the word American the same way that the host of this channel does. As an Australian, I am perfectly aware of the fact that American doesn't only refer to citizens of the USA.
"Waste paper basket" isn't the trash can: it's the little "bin" you have in the office, by your desk, where you toss the "waste paper" in. It's not the same routine. In the first one, Michael McIntyre was the guest on Jonathan Ross's Show. In the second one, Jeremy Clarkson is the guest on Michael McIntyre's show.
Truth hurts Ryan! 😅
In America they have a seeing eye dog and in the UK we call it a guide dog. It's a dog that helps a blind person to get around.
The best Clarkson roast was : “If you're thinking of coming to America, this is what it's like: you've got your Comfort Inn, you've got your Best Western, and you've got your Red Lobster where you eat. Everybody's very fat, everybody's very stupid and everybody's very rude - it's not a holiday programme, it's the truth.”
(this was during one of the American specials on Top Gear)

The reason American English is like that is because it needed to be simple, easy to understand and easy to learn quickly. The USA have no official language even today because when the colonies became independent, there were not only English speakers there, but also a lot of French, German, Swedish and Dutch. Then the French Louisiana and the Spanish Florida were purchased, and there were a lot of non English speakers. When the US won the war with Mexico, a lot of Spanish speakers all of a sudden were citizens. Also, a lot of Chinese and Japanese went to America to work on the railroad and in the 19th century there was still a large indigenous population with several different languages. Then Cuba, Guam, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Hawaii and other territories were conquered or acquired. Then you have all the Irish, Polish, German and Italian immigrants. All the refugees from all over southeast Asia and the Middle East. The language evolved because it needed to be simple and especially the English speaking elites needed to communicate with the workers and those with each other. And in the last few decades it's the product of a bad education system and increasingly learning through the media.
Nonono. A waste paper basket isn't a trash can. It's specifically for paper waste. Therfore the term. 😂😂😂

8:11 probably short for gasoline but still
It is, but its like Jello, Hoover and other similar names where the brand name or term for a product has now become the generic name for that product .
Plenty of examples like this exist, such as Google, Zipper, Scotchtape, Sellotape, Roller Blade, Photoshop, Breathalyser, Xerox, Kleenex, Heroin, Band-Aid, Crock-Pot, Taser etc have all become nouns (and some also verbs) that are synonyms associated with those type of products, regardless of who the manufacturer is.
Interestingly, both 'Gasoline' (or 'Gazeline' as it originated) and 'Petrol' were both used as different brand names from rival companies, for the product that is commonly known as liquid petroleum, ironically, both were British brands, and even had different uses until the motorcar became common, but eventually, Gasoline was a more popular product in America, while Petrol was more popular in Britain, and the brand names then stuck as the generic term for liquid petroleum in the respective countries.
Even dumber because gasoline was a knock-brand copying Cazeline from the 1860s
Don't sweat it Ryan. The Poms have been making fun of themselves for a very long time & they don't mind taking the piss out of us Down Under either. However you should write to congress to get the day put before the month when displaying the date...pleeease! Cheers from Australia mate.👍👍
Americans don't like to use the word toilet, so they do their business in the bathroom. 😂
@@paulaz5009 Or even less direct they “go to the rest room”. This made me laugh when I first heard it. I am English born and bred and it is never used by Brits (the word not the location!). When I first heard it I thought Americans must be so tired all day long that they needed dedicated rooms to rest in. Ha ha! Really!
It's insane, restroom... bathroom. We just say toilet even if you're not gonna use the toilet! It's the opposite, they are so prude.
@ I know. Its not like we all dont know what happens there. I am still surprised how prudish America is in regard to linguistics. Europeans are way more direct and rarely employ euphemisms for such things. I doubt that Americans use the word “Urinal” because of it’s direct reference to “urine”. The French happily use the terms “Pissoir” which no doubt cause Americans to blush because it contains the English word “piss”, a derivative of “pissier” the French verb for “to piss”. Of course “piss” has been a common word in English since Shakespeares usage of it in his plays but it actually cone from the Latín root “pissiare”.
It's worse when they say "go potty"!
even in french we say "toilette" bathroom is for shower or bath but i think it maybe because their toilet is always in their bathroom, they don't have separated toilet in their "paper" home for what i know 😂
How can you have never heard of a waste paper basket? Every office has one
If it's anything like me, he's heard the term, but in normal everyday language almost nobody actually calls it that. It's usually just "the trash(can)", maybe different in different places
@ it is
why use such a complicated phrase xD , just call it trash can ffs

Jeremy got you there mate,,,, Why do you call it gas?? I've wondered that as an Aussie too 😝
short from gasoline.
short for gasoline. same way petrol is short for petroleum
The serious answer is it's short for gasoline, which is more accurate than petrol (petroleum). Gasoline is what is refined from petroleum, you're not literally putting raw petroleum in the car.
@Aeroxima and yet you still call it gas, which it isnt. It's a liquid 🤣
Michael Mcintyre is a British legend he also roasts himself the same way 😂
According to google:
In the United States, the term "sidewalk" is more commonly used than "pavement" to refer to a paved path for people to walk along the side of a road. However, "pavement" is more common in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth of Nations countries, as well as in some parts of the Mid-Atlantic United States.
What is the meaning of the word pavement?
PAVEMENT definition and meaning | Collins English Dictionary
A pavement is a path with a hard surface, usually by the side of a road. [British] He was hurrying along the pavement.
What is a pavement in the UK?
Footway is a modern legal term which refers to the part of the highway set aside for pedestrians. The footway is more commonly referred to as the pavement, however it should be noted that footways do not all have the same surface.
Why do British people call it a pavement?
Pavement refers to the paved area of the road that's designed exclusively for pedestrians. It's taken from the Latin pavimentum, which means “trodden down floor.” Trodden on because it's for pedestrians.

We speak proper English whereas you speak American English - which is like English for beginners😁.
I blame Webster who hated the British so much he made his own dictionary and changed all the spellings to phonetic ones - presumably because he thought the proper spellings were too complicated for the American population.🤔🤣🤣🤣
To be fair phonetic spellings are more logical, but it's not English.
N.B. When it comes to words that exactly describe what you do the Germans are the masters and is why a paragraph in German is far longer than the same paragraph in other languages.😀
English is a mongrel language anyway ! 😁
Easier for literacy rates and ESL learners, I feel like English still has a lot of mess though. But like with simplifications done with Chinese hanzi and Japanese kanji, what can happen is just having two forms to learn instead of one (to an extent). Also like the UK and US have going on with measurement systems.
Also, English has changed a lot before it came to what it is, so with that logic you could argue against British English, too. Notably with how it changed the R's, and everyone thinks America is weird for sticking to how it was originally, as imported from England (often not realizing this). It seems both have diverged, just in different ways, from the common source. (Just not dramatically.)
