Seriously, you look like sisters.
I was thinking that the whole time I was watching it lol
"Twin Daughters of Different Mothers." 😉
or at least cousins
Their mother gave birth to the blond one in the states and she grew up there. Then the dark haired one was born in Scotland and grew up there. Then one day they found out about each other and they have been together ever since. The End? Not really.
For some reason, I'm reminded of Parent Trap.
Could you do Scottish vs. American traditions? Maybe you could see if you know what the other country does on certain holidays or something?
MadSwedishGamer OMG yes! Scotland vs America traditions
Scottish vs American Hallowe'en might be a good choice for the next one?
One of the interesting things about American culture is the integration of so many separate cultures that, we have slang from one part of the country to another that we don't even know half the time. For example: a "whip" is a car to some, so is a ride, so is a low rider, likewise a lemon, POS and beater. All different names for different cars. It's a tough one sometimes.
The Dutch thing is really old. It refers to the Amish or the Pennsylvanian Dutch in America. Both cultures are known for being very frugal.
Eric Montford it may be that, but I read it about Dutch doors, they split in half.
Audra Sargent
Well it might be one of those things with most good slang and it might be based on multiple different sources. **shrugs** 8-)
Eric Montford oooh Slytherin...
OLD!? Really? I still use it and I thought I was still rather hip for being in my 30s. XD
No it is not that old and has nothing to do with Amish...but rather than give you a history lesson read this
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_Dutch
Is it bad that I'm American and have never heard these terms? 😂 could be because I'm on the east coast though
im from the great lake state and heard a couple of those terms
East siiiiiddde
Kaysee Brabb I live in vs, and I only knew the first one.
Kaysee Brabb I'm from the West coast and I agree lol
Kaysee Brabb I think it depends on where you're from. People just make stuff up and it catches on. When i travel not so far they say some stuff that i don't understand. It depends on culture and not all states are the same.
I'm American and I haven't heard half of the slang your friend uses.
Jim Roberts exactly!!
Yea me neither
Jim Roberts yes
Aye. Some of it seems to be unknown. And her explanation and meaning for "yuppie" is different from what I have heard, which it is the only American slang word here I am familiar with.
Perhaps it's the slang of her state or something? I've never heard of any of them at either :P
We usually say 'flip a bitch' for a u-turn where I'm from. Lol
I drive a big rig for a living so I call it "flipping a big ol' bitch".
FIRST!
Also sorry for the obnoxious auto focus on my camera that was clearly desperate for it's internet fame the day we were filming.
ISNT SARAH AWESOME!?!
WeeScottishLass SECONDDD
Scottish music vs American music
Your friend Alex is a very lucky guy!
That's a tuff one. There is traditional Scottish music, which has influenced American Music, but any thing more contemporary has been influenced by American Music. Mosco did have on a Scottish musician and if My memory is correct he is a Bob Dayan fan. So a lot of Scottish music will sound the same a American Music and it will come down to just comparing Music Artist and bands. Not so much countries.
Yeah SARAH AWESOME!
An American phrase I like to use on Scotland when appropriate: "I don't give a rat's ass."
You two look like you're kin to each other.
I've never heard Kludgy pronounced like "Klooogy" before. It's always had more of an "uh" sound.
The origin of the phrase "to go Dutch"
is traced back to the 17th century when England and the Netherlands
fought constantly over trade routes and political boundaries. The
British use of the term "Dutch" had a negative connotation for the Netherlanders were said to be stingy.
Paulo Ferreira here I thought it was a reference to Dutch doors
That's why Yankee is actually a derogatory term. The Dutch called us Jan Keis, which translates to John Cheese, a derogatory slang term for Americans.
FOURTH!!! lol
I love stuff like this. Also, I'm American and hadn't heard some of the American terms myself. haha
Scottish vs. American curse words?
I think they're the same words, just a different arrangement. ; )
+Zombie-Process wot un de blootae fok arh yeh fokkin talkn bout ye cheeky cont
Ahh right ya wee fockin fanny boy ye canny even try and tooch me mate.
Usage its a guess but I bet Scott's swear more
please no. the use of bad language is so prevalent here in Scotland that many folk seem not to know they do it and for the rest of us it's uncomfortable to be in public spaces where we are forced to hear it all the time. I love your enthusiastic and friendly presentations with one reservation- The plural of "you" is "you". Yooze is wrong in Standard English , Scots, or American English.
Both totally have a certain cuteness to them.
I'm from Italy and here we say "doing it Roman" for sharing the bill
You two are so adorable!
Too Cute!
In our part of Texas the term for u turn is "flip a bitch" lol. I've never heard most of the words y'all used so that was funny. :)
Dang I feel like the Midwest misses out on so many fun slang words we just call it pulling a u turn or taking a uturn.
I'm from Ohio and I use, flip a bitch, pop/bust a 'u'y, and pop/bust a uturn.
the intro is the cutest !!
2nd video I have seen of yours, I'm subscribing and I think you should do a video on hot wings and different styles and then a Scottish version of food ate in similar manner.
That was a cute video! I'm from the U.S. as well and I also only knew about half of them though LOL. I guess I'm just getting old. I loved learning some of the Scottish ones though!
I'm Scottish and I knew all of these words apart from "shoogly'
Lovely chemistry you two have, keep it up!
YES! Food challenges for American/Scottish foods! I'd love to see fried chicken, traditional southern cornbread like my mother made, etc on the menu. lol
I am from Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh and I never heard half these slang words, but we also have slang here no one else in the US uses unless they are from here, just like Philadelphia on the opposite side of pa uses different slang....i enjoy your videos, keep them coming😉
I'm in Texas and I knew most of the Scottish words but not all of the American ones. LOL! Slang ranges from city-to-city and then throughout the States. What fun video! Loved it!
Excited to have found your channel today. Greetings from Alaska, USA 🇺🇸
She isn't American , she's Californian .
L.E. Batte Which is in America therefore they are American.
1 out of every 8 Americans lives in California. Don't hate us cuz you ain't us.
The joke literally went over everyones heads, fucking trogladytes.
I was born and lived 48 years in California and I cant wait for it to slide into the ocean and take the nuts with it!
@@ExtremeDream360 if they can get through the homeless towns and shit and needles on streets
I am Scottish as well and u light up my day you re so funny and the patter is great keep on making videos you are my favourite TH-cam
When I heard "Shoogly" the first thing that popped into my head was "shoogly-woogly" which lead me to "wibbly-wobbly" and the obligatory "timey-wimey"
I had to keep pausing this one cause i was laughing to hard to hear what you were saying!
Wasn't Yuppie a London saying back in the 80's? I remember the term when people in suits started walking around with their bricks (mobile phones) and Filofaxes. I've heard going dutch before.
Congrats on 12k subs!
I can see the dichotomy so fluidly between the both accents, and the Scottish one puts more emphasis on certain letters, but people can say the same for the American one.
This was so fun to watch.
Shoogali! I have heard it before but always thought he was saying sugary! Awesome :)
Y'all look like y'all could be related. Y'all are so similar . You should do a video on slang on different areas of Scotland and the US. I'm from Louisiana and we speak completely different than the rest of the US. Great video by the way.
wtf is clugey?
Rgsouth84, IT people use it all the time. Clugey programs are a way of life. (Not a good one.)
In north east Scotland a lot of us say a similar word cludgie (pronounced “clud-jee”) meaning toilet
At first that's what I thought she said... LOL
Thinking about visiting Scotland soon. Maybe next month.
Don't feel bad. "Bangin' a Uey" is not only slang, but from one particular city. Go to California, and that's a whole other world of slang. I worked with a dude from India who spoke beautiful, grammatical English. Every day I had to explain slang terms I used to him.
she has a heavy California accent did you notice that, Mosco ?
Yeah I hear the California accent. living in the California its not the uniquest. Though many people think we in L.A. All sound like suffers. I remember my EX from Houston Texas telling me that I sound like a suffer.
The Midwest (Ohio(my state) Illinois Indiana Michigan) have the same accent as California. So too in Florida. Basically costal states talk that way. The more inland and bulk of the south speak with the other major accent
The term "going Dutch" or 50/50 stems from the Dutch style door, which is a door with a top and bottom half that can be opened together as a solid door. Or apart and opened individually top or bottom.
Hello there from Pennsylvania. You ladies look so much alike!! You could be sisters!! love this.
Scottish vs American candy
I'll pay you $20 to say- Captain, if I push the engines any harder they'll blow!
Hey... She's already "giving it all she's got".
We say "hang a youey" Never heard bang a youey but it's close enough
Axel Trainwagon I say make or do a youey
heard both hang and bang a u-y
Axel Trainwagon I say flip a bitch but okay
Pop a u-y, hang a u-y, do a u-y, flip a bitch. All the same and interchangeable depending on present company
It really depends on where you are in the US. We say "pull a U-y" in Southeast Missouri
lol, "going Dutch" came from the Dutch immigrants who would haggle over who bought what and would spend time debating among each other about who owed how much as they were making their way west. In time, the phrase became a slang for "you pay yours and I'll pay mine"
It's called "going Dutch" because In the Netherlands it's customary for both people on a date to pay for themselves, where as in the states, usually the man pays the whole check. Love your videos by the way! 🙂
Great Video! I Found This So Funny!
Just came across your channel, very fun videos. gotta new subscriber kiddo ;)
PS I love your accent, I could listen to you read a phone book or be the voice of my GPS lol
HAHA thank you so much =D that means a lot to me!
I’m American and I’ve never heard any of the American slang xD loved the video tho!
Others have different thoughts on this, going dutch meaning to split the check came from the split doors called dutch doors. Those kitchen doors where you could open the top completely while leaving the bottom half closed, many had a little shelf built on the bottom half for cooling bake goods.
both of your laughs are awesome...haha
Loved this! I love confusing my American pals haha
I know! It's tons of fun. 8-)
I have a video suggestion: Best Scottish Metal Bands. That would be epic!
The Dutch in "going Dutch" is actually "Dutch treat", which means to split a cost between you, just as a Dutch style door is split in two halves. Rather than one person "treating" the other person/people to the meal/etc by paying the whole bill, the split bill is a split "treat" between the whole party.
Yea, there's a lot of California specific slang she's using. Clookey sounds like a reimagined 'Clunky' which is a common term here. (might be in Scotland as well idk)
I think Going Dutch (meaning splitting the bill for a meal) comes from the past when Dutch meant double, or halves. There are Dutch doors, where you can open the top half of the door and leave the lower half shut.
You two look related. Also, not sure how I'm only now watching this when I've been subbed for a couple years.
I'm from middle of no where North Carolina and I've heard all the slang Sarah mentioned. The most confusing American slang comes from south east like y'all, yonder, supper, and a lot other ones could mention.
"Blew my ass" 🤣 in America we would say "kicked my ass" seriously laughed so hard.
Nice!! Love it ladies!
Hey Mosco! "Going Dutch" or "doing a Dutch treat" originates from the reputation the Dutch had as traders. About the same is said from the Scottish by the way; both peoples are definetely not cheap but tend to keep their hands on their wallets.... So, going Dutch means that nobody of the company will have to pay more than the other, relatively speaking.
A "Dutch treat" can be a deal with no transfers of money but just a swap or something like that. It may feels as if you're given a huge present, but it has cost you an equal amount. A Dutch treat.
Please keep it up, I love those lingo-issues. For it's a braw brecht minlecht necht de necht. (that is a phrase only the Scots and the Dutch could pronounce properly.... never mind my spelling.. ;) )
With Sarah being from LA, it probably isn't feasible, but I would love to see a comparison between Scottish and Appalachian ("mountain talk"), since it was primarily the Scottish and Scot-Irish (as they were called) that settled those areas.
2:46 When we described a computer program in the 1980s that was sort of a patchwork ensemble instead of good structured code, we said it was a "kludge."
a pair of pure beauties
We use the term "flip a bitch" for a u-turn a lot.
i love your intro
Loved your video ❤️
Okay, as an American, I've haven't heard two or three of the slang words/phrases given by Sarah. The United States is a big country and slang varies from region to region, and often even within each region. It also changes frequently. So, while some slang is fairly consistent nationwide, a far greater portion isn't.
I know this would be a big expense, but it would be WAY COOL if you two could take a road trip around Scotland, followed up with a road trip around the US...
If you have any east coast friends, you should do a second video because west coast slang is totally different.
Whyyyyy do you two look so much alike????? It's crazy!!!!
I'm American and I have only heard of two of the American terms. It must be a regional thing.
possibly generational too. Two weeks ago I was taking a load of kids somewhere and made a comment about doing a "chinese fire-drill" and they didn't have a clue what I was talking about.
Could be. She’s from Southern California. I’m from Northern California and we say, “Flip a u-ee” or “flip a b***h”. Janky and yuppie have been around 20+ years. The only one I’ve never heard was “cloogie”.
I'm from New Hampshire. The American slang words I didn't know were "clugey," (or however I'm supposed to spell that) and "yuppy" (though I've at least heard that one used before). Considering how close NH is to MA, it makes sense that I hear "bang a U-ey" as often as I do.
going Dutch...the Dutch part refers to a Dutch door which is cut in half (left to right) hence you can have 50% of it closed and 50% open
Funny video. I always find it interesting the slang which originates from different parts of the world, but different parts of our own countries. Same goes for accents, being from Southern California I/we often think we do not have an accent, until we go out of state and someone says "your not from here are you?". One thing we as Californians (Americans) tend to do is shorten things up or give them nicknames. Example: "Kentucky Fried Chicken" people started calling "KFC" and now the restaurant chain has changed their to KFC. The trend seems to be mostly restaurants but might apply to other places as well.
That was awesome and everyone already suggested what I would :P lol But yeah I didnt recognize some of those and Im American as well. Californians -_- haha
I love your zelda necklace
Yuppie. That's vintage. Didn't that start in the 80's?
great vid fourteenth! ! haha btw you gave her more hints
You should do one with Australian Slang it would be so awesome !
do Scottish vs American dating
you look so alike!! you could seriously be sisters!
In the South we say, 'yonder'. "Where is the oak tree?" "It's over yonder". "Where is the store?" "It's two miles up yonder". "Do you see that dog over yonder?" And it is pronounced, YAWN-DUH
love the zelda stuff
Im American and ive never heard of any of those slang words..
glaiket was pronounced wrong
Well they are american.
In Jersey/New York/PA we say bust a U-eee lol cool vid!
Going Dutch is originally from the Pennsylvania Dutch population, and is in reference to the split doors( able to open and close the top and bottom independently) that were popular with those immigrants.
I'm in the Midwest (of America) and have heard of or use most of the American slang she suggested. Exception: clugee???
Going Dutch is originally an English phrase from one of the Anglo - Dutch wars.
I learned this when I grew up in the Netherlands.
I think "going dutch" is more properly defined as "paying ones own expenses" than "splitting the bill." i.e. Sally agreed to go on the blind date as long as it was understood up front she did want to feel uncomfortable pressure and as such they would would be "going dutch."
Being from Oregon. I only got about 2-3 of the American slang words. But I'm 35 so slang I grew up with is now old school. Back to the Future stuff. Or 90s stuff.
is the the rowan tree or bonnie galloway in the intro? im doing them both in my pipe band
This has likely already been said, but "going dutch" comes from the dutch elm tree, which grows very evenly on all sides.
I've lived in America my entire life, never in Scotland, and I know what most of the Scottish slang. Thanks to my Scottish family.
ahhh mosco! you let down the side the american won! I loved hearing the contrat of the acents :3 shoogle and drookit what wonderful words. what about rowie or foos yur doos?
FYI- the term "Yuppy" is derived from "YUP", 'Young Upwardly Mobile' and is expressed by flaunting the wealth acquired (expensive stuff). The impression is that this state is only the beginning of the race to being rich.
US is a big place, slang differs as much as the topography does here in the states.
I think it depends where in America you are from. I'm central southern and didn't know any of it except the u turn.
