My dad is British. If he wants to be mean, he is mean. Also he hates the American imperial system and never uses American English. Edit: Okay he just uses stuff like "Meters"
Depends on context. If it starts raining "we'll that's just brilliant" is sarcastic or if someone says something stupid. But if it's like "should be able to drop your stuff off Wednesday" "ah brilliant. Cheers mate" then it's more just like "great" or "cool"
Don’t be dissing Henry now… he gets us all through the day And the “oh, sorry” one, well we don’t want to cause any fights or tension with others so we do that, but yes, we always want to be polite/the bigger person unless someone starts shit And another thing I think foreigners would find weird is that we thank the bus drivers getting off the bus, as far as I’m aware they don’t do that in America or anything like that
Australia has an equivalent of the “saying cheers to everything”, a lot do also say cheers to stuff, but everyone says “ta” more than you’d think. It’s taught as toddlers when they hand you smth or you want them to hand you something and so continuing to say it over small exchanges is a knee-jerk response as an informal “thank you” of sorts. It’s more frequent with small children but not at all weird for a grown adult to say “ta” when another adult cashier hands over some change
I swear I have a Henry the hoover, I'm Irish not British but we're very close anyway😂, and I love having it/him, he's so cute😂😂 Edit: when I said 'I swear' at the beginning I meant it as in 'I swear he's so cute'
mexican food is popular in the us because there are a lot of mexican immigrants, indian food is popular in the uk because there are a lot of indian immigrants. it makes a lot of sense lol
For the thing about the metric and imperial system: the Brit’s were the ones who created and used it, which is why it got brought to the Americas with the colonies. The UK uses the metric system for most measurements, but for some things like hight, the imperial system stuck. As for why America still uses the imperial system, during Jefferson’s tenure in office, there was talk about possibly switching to the metric system. While Jefferson was still waiting to see if the change would be approved, he had ordered the unit measurements for the metric system (weights and the such). However, the ship these unit measurements were on was commandeered by British privateers, leading to the measurements not making it to America. Now whether or not having the weights would’ve led to the metric system being adopted is up for debate, there is a possibility the lack of measurement led to the metric system not being implemented.
Take that Henry the Hoover & add your cat switching it on at 3am while you’re home alone. I must’ve looked ridiculous creeping around with a golf club as I made my over to that creepy little guy to switch him off! 😳
London England, and London, Canada sound almost identical. Except instead of saying "brilliant" we just say "Eh" but everything else pretty well lines up, eh.
Bro Americans are the weird ones for taking your card up to the front to pay. I’m not even British, I’m Canadian, but no one else does it the American way
Ikr, it's such a 1990s naïve way of handling your personal security and items relating to your bank account. If someone walked off with my card nowadays, even a waiter, I'd presume they were about to pull a fast one or overcharge me.
People in the uk do use both but overall metric is the norm unless talking about height of a person or walking for 5 miles other then that metric is the default People that work with measurements ect always use metric as it is just much easier to calculate compared to imperial
Most of the things americans say brits complain about are just full on made up by americans themselves. People across western Europe are very prone to taking the piss, so its hard for others to understand that nobody really cares.
Overall metric is the normal system we use, but we do use the imperial system occasionally. But the metric system is the one used in science and maths.
Is saying brilliant equivalent to us Southerners saying bless your heart or precious? If so then I'm stealing the phrase and working it into my everyday speech.
I work in customer service in the UK. My favourite thing to say to a customer at the moment who is having a go at me about something clearly out of my control is "sorry about that, have a good day!" Im not wasting my time with that
"How do you do?" is not a question but more like 'hi' - this pissed me off to no end. retrospectively, I feel like quite the peasant for having answered as may times as I did.
what's weird about moving to the uk is that a lot of em never really grow out of baby words, I once heard a man in his 40's who snorted cocaine at work daily say he has a ''tummy ache''
Fellas, allow me to channel my inner white girl and just say, words like ''tummy'' or ''yummy'' coming out of a 40-50 something yo's mouth give me the ick
The thing about the indecision with choosing to use the metric or imperial system honestly feels like a result of the influence social media can have on people
i lived in england for a few months for school and i come from the south so anytime it was clear they were being overly nice i was always a little suspicious bc in the south is someone is really, REALLY nice they’re secretly judging you. like “oh, bless your heart” is not a compliment. and i picked up saying “brilliant”, “cheers”, and “sorry” and now it’s just a part of my vocabulary
Arab food is to Australians as Mexican food is to Americans as Indian food is to British Idk about Canada. Maybe sushi. It is pretty north and therefore cold so fresh fish would probably slap there. Maybe Scandinavian food though.
The Indian thing is actually a historical thing from when Britain lost control of India. Some people just moved to Britain to continue in the culture. Food stuck
About the Indian restaurants, I'm an American woman engaged to an Indian man. I keep telling him I think India is to Asia as Mexico is to North America. I'm adding the restaurant thing to my list of reasons lolol
The Indian thing is true, there are a lot of Indians and people from places like Pakistan. (I am white but I know this because my sworn sister is Pakistani and like 60 smth % of her family lives in Britain.)
I'm not a British resident but according to heritage I'm British. Anyone something I find weird about Britain, personally, is that the British monarch own all of the dolphins that live in the British waters.
