    IDK if Mia is aware, but in Australia the word for swimming costume varies depending on which state you're from. It could be swimmers, togs, cossies or bathers. Same with icy poles - in my home state we call them ice blocks. Also, we call markers 'textas' because that used to be a brand name for that type of item (same as we often say Kleenex for tissue, regardless of the actual brand.)

      @@Alexosauruus Hi Alexandra, this is a very sensitive topic, (if you are South African then you would know why...blah blah blah), because, white people who originate from Dutch (and German, to a lesser extent, French (Huguenots), etc, are actually called AFRIKANERS and not AFRIKAAN. Charlize Theron, Minki vd Westhuizen, Steve Hofmeyer...those people. There were also the Khoi and the San (bushmen), who apparently spoke the language too and contributed to what it is today. Without them, it would have never developed into a stand-alone language called AFRIKAANS. Afrikaans does not solely come from Dutch but has a vast language family, including German, KhoiSan languages.
      Although yes: "Afrikaans" fundamentally means "African" in the Dutch language.
      AFRIKAANS is the language spoken, not only by them (AFRIKANERS), but also by COLOURED PEOPLE (multiracial/multicultural group, predominantly found in the Western Cape, but all over South Africa, and to a lesser extent, other Southern African countries).
      There is a fine line between Afrikaans (the language), Afrikaners (the race/ethnicity), and Afrikaans culture (which refers to all the arts and culture, media, etc).
      And yes, the language is still spoken today, and I must mention this: not mostly by white people (AFRIKANERS), BUT by COLOURED people and other black, or mixed races. Very sensitive topic

    Pants. Occasionally trousers or (old-school women’s) slacks.

    Flip-Flops are also called "plakkies" (plural; the singular is "plakkie") in Afrikaans, cuz they sound like they are sticking to your feet (sticky/to stick = plak). The term is also widely used by English speaking South Africans, but like she said, there is so many languages down here. "Broek" is a generalization similar to how the Americans use the word "pants", in Afrikaans we do often specify the type of "broek" as either a: kortbroek (short-shorts); langbroek (long pants/trousers) and a Drie-kwart Broek (3 quarter pants, iow long shorts).

    It's funny, my grandmother (American) called braids plaits too. She was a beautician and owned her own shop. I've never heard any other American use the term plaits except for older people. Also, the term thongs for flip flops is probably used about 15% of the the time in the US. Panty thongs were mostly called g-string in the US when I was growing up in '80's-90's, but I think it's more called thong now. I use the term lip balm as an American, not chapstick. That's a name brand that I don't like. I remember using lip balm since the 90's. I think a lot of these words are commonly used in each country, but the popularity changes over time, like with most words.

    pants
    togs, swimmers, just depends what i feel like saying lmao
    jumper (sweater)
    Ice block is a water-based treat, ice cream is a milk based treat, and icy poles are a brand of ice block.
    textas, or whiteboard marker for a whiteboard, and i just usually call permanent parkers sharpies, no matter the brand.

    bathers- but on websites they're known as swimwear but if you're from other states, it could be a different name
    jumper- but if it's knitted i call it a sweater
    ice block- but mainly zooper doopers since everyone loves them
    texta- but you would have to specify what one since it could be one for colouring, whiteboard but if i wanted a sharpie i'd ask for a sharpie

    You can't generalise though. For example in the north of England UK, "pants" is also used to describe "trousers", (used interchangeably with 'trousers' , 'jeans', etc) and it's perfectly acceptable to say that, whereas in the south of England they typically use "pants" to describe underwear, as discussed in this video.
    Regional dialect differences are a big thing in England actually 😂. Take this example - we have so many words to describe a bread bun (think plain empty burger bun) - people say "bread roll" "bread bun" "bap" "barm cake" "cob", and it can be that different regions prefer different terms, but also people use different terms within the same town 😂, its so interesting!

      Yes but would have been better to have got a South Africa English speaker, This girl tended to use words from one of our other official languages or American words that we rarely use in South Africa. Safas woud say pavement rather than footpath and trousers rather than pants. I think she is just trying to be "with it" and use Americanisms.

    I always feel like Canadians are left out language comparisons. e.g Bathing suits/swim trunks, hoodies/bunny hugs, gitch/gotchies.. American slang is different than Canadian. I think we get left out because it's assumed we share similarities in language, which we do, but not always.

    I can't entirely agree with the ponytail part. In South Africa, we call hair tied back in one place a ponytail. We say plaits (Although braid is becoming more popular) for a braid and pigtails if there are two. We don't call pigtails or braids a ponytail. As for the flip-flops, some people also say slops. Many South Africans don't say footpaths (Have yet to meet someone in SA who says this), we use pavement for the sidewalk next to a road and normally I hear just a path if it's like at a park etc.
