In American English, to grill is to provide heat from UNDER whatever is being cooked. To broil is to provide heat from ABOVE. The photo shows something under the broiler to melt the cheese (I think). There is a special position on the oven knob called “Broil”. When that is turned on, only the top element in the oven heats.
There is one caveat to that. When done inside an Oven they don't call it grilling it's called Baking. This gets even more confusing because we call a Barbeque a Grill (and a condiment) and Baking is also used for when making breads and doughs.
I don’t get calling a cut of meet a “London Broil” either. In the US, I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a cut of meat called London Broil at the meat counter, and I have no idea what cut it is. Something thick 🤷♀️
@@kbaylor123 You probably wouldn't find fresh meat labeled as London Broil, because it's really flank steak, top round and a couple of other cuts. The chef seasoned, cooked and cut these meats differently (cut against the grain) than others, and decided to give it a name from outside the US that would pique curiosity and they'd be more willing to pay a higher price.
@DeadStretch I remember my parents having a gas oven with a separate compartment below it which is where the flames were. That compartment was called a broiler. Meats were broiled close to the flame from above. Baking was done in the oven where the heat came from below.
Its common for gas station pumps to ask for a zip code in addition to a pin number especially if you are using a credit card vs a debit card. I guess they never do this in the UK but is common in Washington State. I guess it must be easier to achieve uniformity across the UK than it is across 50 united but independent states.

Hoagie is a regional dialect I mostly hear it in Pennsylvania most people would probably call it a sub We enter our zip code rather than using a pin it’s common for credit cards or if you run a debit card as credit.
No, they are not confused about the zip code. Here in the U.S., if you use your credit card, you need to enter the zip code, if you use your debit card then you enter the pin.
That portable, foldable bed you put in the back of your car is something we also call a cot. The military is probably best (though not exclusively) known for using cots. A crib is a bed with slatted sides solely for babies. In the US, preschool comes before kindergarten, and is private. The two terms refer to entirely different things. Kindergarten is the first level of the public schooling system, and is followed by "1st grade." Hoagie is strictly an East Coast US term for that kind of sandwich. West Coast, it's most often called a sub sandwich (from submarine). Other mostly regional synonyms for it in the uS? Grinder, Hero, Poor Boy, Torpedo, Subway (which is why the chain eatery is called "Subway." ). A few of the British terms are ones we use, too. Like Police, for example. "Cops," is mostly a casual term; you're more likely to hear the word police. There was a "defund the police" movement for a time in the US, not a "defund the cops." Nobody would say cops in that usage.
Different parts of the US say different things. Where I'm from we say ID'd, not carded. We also say Pharmacy when we're talking about perscription meds or anything you can't get over the counter. Drug stores are the places you get the basics like asprin and cold meds. Hoagie, Sub, or Grinder depending on where you live.
A security feature of gas pumps for using a credit card is placing your credit card and then they require your zip code. If someone stole your credit card they probably won't know your zip code. Entering your pin is usually reserved for debt or ATM cards associated with your checking or savings accounts.
The only time I ever have to enter my Zip code is when making an online purchase. Anytime I have to physically use my card it's the pin number. With keyloggers existing your zip code is a much more meaningful number than your pin number that you made up.
Here in the U.S. you often have to enter your zip code when using a credit card at the gas pump. It's so someone can't just find your card on the ground, they can't just insert it. They have to know the billing zip code that is associated with the credit card account.
Knew most of these differences. However there are major different names for objects in the different regions in the US. Simple example, soda, pop, Coke. Big place with tons of regional differences.
"Corn" was traditionally used for the most common grain in that country. It meant wheat in the UK and oats in Scotland. Recently I've heard Brits call maize "corn" or "sweet corn."
They got ZIP code right. If you use a credit card at the pump, it will usually ask for your ZIP for secondary identification. If you use a debit card where funds draft straight from your bank account. You use a PIN number
A, 'baguette'? For the whole sandwich? Here in my part of the US at least, a 'baguette' is just a kind of bread. The sandwich would either be called a, 'submarine' sandwich, or, 'sub', for short, or a 'hoagie'. Some folks call 'em, 'heroes'.
Usually the rest of the country calls it a sub, I've heard 'hero' from N. Yorkers. I'm from New Jersey and I call it a hoagie but because we're so close to the city, its usually a sub, hoagie, grinder, hero depending on the region.
@@Zodchi Lol Yep .Here is how it became known as a Hero Head over to New York City, and you'll see a similar sandwich referred to as a “hero.” The term likely comes from New York Herald Tribune columnist Clementine Paddleworth (yes, that was her name), who in 1936 described a sandwich so large “you had to be a hero to eat it.” More so than a sub, a hero can refer to both
At US gas stations, a person must type in their ZIP code of the person's home address when using a credit card at the pump. This is to ensure the credit card isn't stolen. If the person is paying with a debt card, the person types in his or her PIN.
I believe that is a gasoline pump at a service station. 11:33 Some machines ask for your ZIP code in order to verify it with your credit card billing address.
So i live in southern California and some of the things we say r what y'all say. For ex. here we say curtains but we also say drapes (we use them interchangeable). Also nobody sais hoagies, we say sub. So most of these r true, but there r regional differences.
Ovens in the US have a heating element at the top and one at the bottom. The bottom one is for baking and the top one is for broiling. Some recipes call for baking and some call for broiling. When we pay with a credit card the machine asks for your zip code too for extra verification.
I am an immigrant from Algeria since 1997 And a US citizen since 2008, and I can tell you from my personal experience living both in Florida and Boston Massachussets that I heard Americans use more than 80% of the British words here. For example I worked for Domino’s pizza and dunken donuts and workers there use both cash register and till. I think that many regions in the USA 🇺🇸 use British words where other regions don’t and vis versa. And that’s perhaps also true for the UK. I have also used both ID and other words …
I think there are times they overlap; as an American for example, to me the crib is the structure and the cot is the pad inside the structure, but you could say either when referring to the whole. The register is the storage and calculating mechanism, the till is the money and count of money inside the register, but you could say either when referring to the whole thing, and so on.
There's quite a few words in the video that I've heard used before in my day to day life a lot. In America we usually have multiple words for one thing, many of which align with British English.
lean and tough cut of meat such as flank steak, top round roast and top sirloin. What is this? London broil was originally made exclusively with flank steak, although through the years other cuts of beef are labeled as such at grocery stores..
The Zip Code Question -- What they are showing is a Petrol/Gas Station. When you put in your credit card to pay, the Gas/Petrol Pump will ask you to put in your zip code and if what you put in matches what registered on the card, then all's good. They're not showing a cash machine/ATM
In the USA we have a lot of chains so the pharmacy may be a department within a drugstore. The hours of operation aren’t the same. You can only get prescriptions in the pharmacy. Drugstores selll over the counter meds,makeup, hair products. We literally say drugstore shampoo or drugstore brand foundation.
When you use a credit card at the pump 💳 ⛽️...Oh, wait...there's already about 50 comments in this comment section mentioning this, I don't think I need to add another one.
London broil is not a specific cut of meat, it is method of preparation. You could have different cuts labeled as London broil, top round and flank stake are common ones. Best part is that you wouldn't use broiler, it is slow and low method (3hr at 350 F) so London roast would be more appropriate name.
Nope. A London Broil preparation is not low and slow. The only thing slow about it is a long marinade - typically overnight. Using a broiler is the classic technique, but some more recent recipes call for pan searing instead. In either case, the goal is a high-temperature sear and a rare or medium rare center.
@@markhamstra1083 I had it few times, prepared by same person and they did it low and slow in oven, it was rested and thinly sliced. we even had discussion why was it called broil if it is not broiled 😃😃
@@ObelixCMM What you were served, then, was simply not a London Broil even if the cut of meat may have been labeled as such and intended for the classic London Broil preparation.
There were a few of those that are the same for us that I think the girl who was doing the video just chose 1 version of the word. We use curtains as well(drapes I believe is the fancy word) for example and I’ve heard Moscow said both ways just depends on person I guess. The sandwich one depends on where you live. I would have said a sub like Subway. Hoagie. I believe is the east coast. I’ve also heard them called Blimpies again it just depends on what region your in. And the zip code was right at gas stations after your pin several stations will have u enter the zip code cause it’s another security step cause if it’s stolen more than likely the their doesn’t know your zip. Broil is usually used to brown or melt something on-top of a dish. There’s 2 different answers for highway it again depends on area. There are Highways and freeways
A lot of the British words mentioned we also use here. One thing about American English is that we have tons of words/names for the same object or idea.
9:16 - Basically we use both BROILED and GRILLED as well as BAKED. But here is the difference. - Baked: Heat coming from the BOTTOM of the oven. - Grilled: Involves an open FLAME under the food through a grill. - Broiled: Heat coming down from the TOP of the oven. You place the food on the top shelf about 1" from the top of the oven and cook it there. There's actually a setting on the oven called "BROIL".
So my very limited research tells me that the usual cut used in a London Broil would be called the Top Round in the US, and may be the Topside or Silverside in the UK. It's behind the sirloin (aka rump).
This is at an outdoor gas pump where you can run your debit/credit card. If you run it as a credit card, it will ask for the zip code. Instead of a pin.
Cash Register and Till are both used here, Till is just older. Drapes are heavy curtains that insulate and shut out more light while curtains are more to look good. That is a gas pump, you have to put in your zip code using a credit card.
Zip Code: That's a gas pump, and when you use a credit card to buy gas (petrol) it will ask you to verify with your card's billing address, usually with only your zip code
At gas stations in the US if you pay at the pump with a credit card it will ask you for your zip code sometimes. I feel like this is a fairly recent thing.
The best is "to table" and it almost caused a big fight during WWII when the British and American leaders were discussing a situation and one wanted to table the discussion.
Almost every gas station makes you enter your zip code here, it's goofy and one extra step that takes 10 seconds, but it's just a way of preventing thieves using stolen debit/credit cards at gas pumps
Credit cards don’t usually or haven’t usually had pin codes in the US. So if you’re using credit to pay at the pump for gas it asks for your ZIP code to check if it matches the billing address.
In my part of the midwest U.S., I generally must enter my ZIP (postal) code when paying by card at the pump. It is a security measure meant to deter theft as most people who can obtain your card won't know your ZIP code. Yes, it should be called a 'postal code' but, back in the 50s when it was introduced, it was called the Zone Improvement Plan..so the acronym ZIP became a abbreviation.
Wikipedia says: London broil, is a beef dish made by broiling marinated beef, then cutting it across the grain into thin strips. Despite its name, the dish and the terminology are North American, not British "London broil" originally referred to broiled flank steak, although modern butchers may label top round, coulotte, or other cuts as "London broil", and the term has come to refer more to a method of preparation and cookery than to a specific cut of meat.
It is a thing at some service stations for the pump to ask for your zip code. When the transaction is being processed, if the zip code doesn't match the billing account of the cardholder, the transaction will be declined. It's far from highly secure, but it is another hurdle that must be cleared if/when such is requested.
Which is really silly considering that most credit cards are stored in a wallet with a driver's license having a full address. It is the most insecure form of ID possible. But we use it.
@@wmason1961 Granted, but few automated pumps are set up to read the QR codes on driver's licenses, even though they easily could. It's more a matter with the credit/debit card processing companies that handle the transactions from the pumps.
@@wmason1961 Some states use QR and some don't. PDF417 barcodes are now on all newly issued or renewed licenses in all states, though. So, they could be used instead. A visual scan would be more secure than a zip code, but less secure than PDF417 or QR codes. Regardless, it is the companies processing the transactions that sometimes opt to require a person to enter their zip code. Whether it makes any sense or not is beside the point. They can require what they choose or refuse to process the transaction.
In the US it depends on the company, but some gas stations ask for a zip code at the pumps when you use your card. Some just ask for a pin number. Most ask for a pin number to be honest.
In America, a lot of gas stations or petrol stations I believe you call them, if you are paying at the pump instead of going inside, if your using a bank debit card then you normally would use your PIN number, but if you're using a credit card then you would use your ZIP code as proof of card ownership. Also, yes to heat something from above is to broil it, to heat from below in an enclosed space like an oven is to bake and to heat from below in an open or closed outdoor setting is to grill. Some people have grills built in as an appliance in their kitchen where they cook with heat from below but in an open setting as opposed to an oven. We would never call an outdoor grill a Bar-B-Q as that is used to reference a piece of meat usually cooked with different types of sauce or rubs or both.
American gas stations will often require you enter your zip code tied to the address on file for your bank along with the 4 digit pin number. It's a security measure to prevent transactions on a stolen card.
12:00 Gas pumps (petrol) in the US give you the choice to use credit or debit as the pump doesn't know which card you're using. Most of our bank cards may have VISA or Master Card on them. If we choose debit, we enter our PIN but if we prefer to use credit, it asks for our billing zip (postal) code. I don't know why this is, as it still just takes it right out of our checking account.
Some things go by multiple names: some are shared in whole or in part between the U.S. & the U.K. - & some are not. An example of 'shared in part'... Bachelor Party which you call a Stag Do is also sometimes referred to as a Stag Party here in the U.S.
According to Wikipedia, what is called "London broil" in North America "originally referred to broiled flank steak, although modern butchers may label top round, coulotte, or other cuts as 'London broil,' and the term has come to refer more to a method of preparation and cookery than to a specific cut of meat." It tastes and looks similar to more expensive cuts of steak (I've paid less than for ground/minced beef), but it's a tougher meat that's more difficult to chew. It's common to marinate the meat before broiling/grilling (my preference is teriyaki). I don't know why it's called "London" broil.
I have never had to enter my ZIP code (which is called that because it was something that the postal service here USPS implemented as marketing to get people to use it- "in a zip" would be "very quickly") at any gas station or ATM or anything that was not online...
It’s a gas pump so in the states you put in your zip code if it’s credit card or pin if your using your bank debit card. If your credit card was lost or stolen and a person finds it and tries to use it at a gas station, they likely wouldn’t know the zip code.
the pin code/number is used for debit card. When you use a credit card, however, it asks for you zip or post code since credit cards don't have pin codes.
I've been requested to enter my zip code when paying at a fuel pump before. it must match the address registered to the account as a security measure. that may have been as a credit purchase as opposed to a debit purchase. not the only time I've been requested to enter my zip code for a card purchase

Grinder, Hero, Poor Boy, Torpedo, Subway (which is why the chain eatery is called "Subway." ).
A few of the British terms are ones we use, too. Like Police, for example. "Cops," is mostly a casual term; you're more likely to hear the word police. There was a "defund the police" movement for a time in the US, not a "defund the cops." Nobody would say cops in that usage.
Hoagie is used in Pennsylvania.
In NY area it’s a Hero or Sub ( short for submarine sandwich.
In parts of New England it’s also called a grinder.
Different parts of the US say different things. Where I'm from we say ID'd, not carded. We also say Pharmacy when we're talking about perscription meds or anything you can't get over the counter. Drug stores are the places you get the basics like asprin and cold meds. Hoagie, Sub, or Grinder depending on where you live.
A security feature of gas pumps for using a credit card is placing your credit card and then they require your zip code. If someone stole your credit card they probably won't know your zip code. Entering your pin is usually reserved for debt or ATM cards associated with your checking or savings accounts.
The only time I ever have to enter my Zip code is when making an online purchase. Anytime I have to physically use my card it's the pin number. With keyloggers existing your zip code is a much more meaningful number than your pin number that you made up.
Here in the U.S. you often have to enter your zip code when using a credit card at the gas pump. It's so someone can't just find your card on the ground, they can't just insert it. They have to know the billing zip code that is associated with the credit card account.
Knew most of these differences. However there are major different names for objects in the different regions in the US. Simple example, soda, pop, Coke. Big place with tons of regional differences.
As a New Yorker, I call it "Soda"
Too true. I don't use many of the words the girl did.
If I'm correct, in Britain "corn" is a general term for grain; in the U. S, it specifically refers to maize, excluding wheat, oats, barley, et. al.
"Corn" was traditionally used for the most common grain in that country. It meant wheat in the UK and oats in Scotland. Recently I've heard Brits call maize "corn" or "sweet corn."
Both are wrong
Maize is tooth shape, eaten by roasting it
Corn is round shape used for popcorn
They got ZIP code right. If you use a credit card at the pump, it will usually ask for your ZIP for secondary identification. If you use a debit card where funds draft straight from your bank account. You use a PIN number
A, 'baguette'? For the whole sandwich? Here in my part of the US at least, a 'baguette' is just a kind of bread. The sandwich would either be called a, 'submarine' sandwich, or, 'sub', for short, or a 'hoagie'. Some folks call 'em, 'heroes'.
Grinder is also an appropriate term, but it is very regional.
@@RLKmedic0315 Oh, yeah - grinders! I nearly forgot about those. Thanks for reminding me.
In NY #33 we call a Hero . I've also heard it called a grinder lol
Or a sub
Usually the rest of the country calls it a sub, I've heard 'hero' from N. Yorkers. I'm from New Jersey and I call it a hoagie but because we're so close to the city, its usually a sub, hoagie, grinder, hero depending on the region.
@@Zodchi Lol Yep .Here is how it became known as a Hero
Head over to New York City, and you'll see a similar sandwich referred to as a “hero.” The term likely comes from New York Herald Tribune columnist Clementine Paddleworth (yes, that was her name), who in 1936 described a sandwich so large “you had to be a hero to eat it.” More so than a sub, a hero can refer to both
At US gas stations, a person must type in their ZIP code of the person's home address when using a credit card at the pump. This is to ensure the credit card isn't stolen. If the person is paying with a debt card, the person types in his or her PIN.
The gas station one is a gas pump not a cash machine. The zip verifies the payment card.
We definitely say “Take attendance”, but I think Gaynor was thinking of “roster”.
Yes, I’d say take attendance (US)
I believe that is a gasoline pump at a service station. 11:33 Some machines ask for your ZIP code in order to verify it with your credit card billing address.
Grilling is done by heat or flame from below while broil is heating from above.
The term you're looking for - the one that describes a sheet listing all of a group's members names - it's a nominal roll.
So i live in southern California and some of the things we say r what y'all say. For ex. here we say curtains but we also say drapes (we use them interchangeable). Also nobody sais hoagies, we say sub. So most of these r true, but there r regional differences.
I’m from WA state and use mostly the same words as CA. There are definitely some east vs west differences
Ovens in the US have a heating element at the top and one at the bottom. The bottom one is for baking and the top one is for broiling. Some recipes call for baking and some call for broiling. When we pay with a credit card the machine asks for your zip code too for extra verification.
Here in the States we use the Zip code when we us the CC to pay for gas for the Car at the pump.
In America, an eraser is made of rubber, and preschool is before kindergarten
I am an immigrant from Algeria since 1997 And a US citizen since 2008, and I can tell you from my personal experience living both in Florida and Boston Massachussets that I heard Americans use more than 80% of the British words here. For example I worked for Domino’s pizza and dunken donuts and workers there use both cash register and till. I think that many regions in the USA 🇺🇸 use British words where other regions don’t and vis versa. And that’s perhaps also true for the UK. I have also used both ID and other words …
I think there are times they overlap; as an American for example, to me the crib is the structure and the cot is the pad inside the structure, but you could say either when referring to the whole. The register is the storage and calculating mechanism, the till is the money and count of money inside the register, but you could say either when referring to the whole thing, and so on.
We Americans use cot and crib as well as cash register and till but we don’t mean the same things by it.
There's quite a few words in the video that I've heard used before in my day to day life a lot. In America we usually have multiple words for one thing, many of which align with British English.
lean and tough cut of meat such as flank steak, top round roast and top sirloin. What is this? London broil was originally made exclusively with flank steak, although through the years other cuts of beef are labeled as such at grocery stores..
Al Jolson's movie "Hallelujah, I'm a Bum" was retitled "Hallelujah, I'm a Tramp" for British release, for obvious reasons.
The Zip Code Question -- What they are showing is a Petrol/Gas Station. When you put in your credit card to pay, the Gas/Petrol Pump will ask you to put in your zip code and if what you put in matches what registered on the card, then all's good.
They're not showing a cash machine/ATM
I've always said "brights," not high beam or full beam.
Yeah, I’d say brights as well
At our school they don't take a roll call,the take attendance
in america, if u pay for gas and hit credit..u then enter the zip code(postcode) , u only use a pin number if you choose debit
In the USA we have a lot of chains so the pharmacy may be a department within a drugstore. The hours of operation aren’t the same. You can only get prescriptions in the pharmacy. Drugstores selll over the counter meds,makeup, hair products. We literally say drugstore shampoo or drugstore brand foundation.
When you use a credit card at the pump 💳 ⛽️...Oh, wait...there's already about 50 comments in this comment section mentioning this, I don't think I need to add another one.
Haha, you should say something about London Broil instead 😂
London broil is not a specific cut of meat, it is method of preparation. You could have different cuts labeled as London broil, top round and flank stake are common ones. Best part is that you wouldn't use broiler, it is slow and low method (3hr at 350 F) so London roast would be more appropriate name.
Nope. A London Broil preparation is not low and slow. The only thing slow about it is a long marinade - typically overnight. Using a broiler is the classic technique, but some more recent recipes call for pan searing instead. In either case, the goal is a high-temperature sear and a rare or medium rare center.
@@markhamstra1083 I had it few times, prepared by same person and they did it low and slow in oven, it was rested and thinly sliced. we even had discussion why was it called broil if it is not broiled 😃😃
@@ObelixCMM What you were served, then, was simply not a London Broil even if the cut of meat may have been labeled as such and intended for the classic London Broil preparation.
There were a few of those that are the same for us that I think the girl who was doing the video just chose 1 version of the word. We use curtains as well(drapes I believe is the fancy word) for example and I’ve heard Moscow said both ways just depends on person I guess. The sandwich one depends on where you live. I would have said a sub like Subway. Hoagie. I believe is the east coast. I’ve also heard them called Blimpies again it just depends on what region your in. And the zip code was right at gas stations after your pin several stations will have u enter the zip code cause it’s another security step cause if it’s stolen more than likely the their doesn’t know your zip. Broil is usually used to brown or melt something on-top of a dish. There’s 2 different answers for highway it again depends on area. There are Highways and freeways
A lot of the British words mentioned we also use here. One thing about American English is that we have tons of words/names for the same object or idea.
9:16 - Basically we use both BROILED and GRILLED as well as BAKED. But here is the difference.
- Baked: Heat coming from the BOTTOM of the oven.
- Grilled: Involves an open FLAME under the food through a grill.
- Broiled: Heat coming down from the TOP of the oven. You place the food on the top shelf about 1" from the top of the oven and cook it there. There's actually a setting on the oven called "BROIL".
So my very limited research tells me that the usual cut used in a London Broil would be called the Top Round in the US, and may be the Topside or Silverside in the UK. It's behind the sirloin (aka rump).
This is at an outdoor gas pump where you can run your debit/credit card. If you run it as a credit card, it will ask for the zip code. Instead of a pin.
Cash Register and Till are both used here, Till is just older.
Drapes are heavy curtains that insulate and shut out more light while curtains are more to look good.
That is a gas pump, you have to put in your zip code using a credit card.
It's a pin if using as a debit card and a zip code when used as a credit card.
Zip Code: That's a gas pump, and when you use a credit card to buy gas (petrol) it will ask you to verify with your card's billing address, usually with only your zip code
We say ID'd and carded. Ive heard both and have used both
At gas stations in the US if you pay at the pump with a credit card it will ask you for your zip code sometimes. I feel like this is a fairly recent thing.
The best is "to table" and it almost caused a big fight during WWII when the British and American leaders were discussing a situation and one wanted to table the discussion.
"London Broil" is a dish from London, Ontario, Canada. Not the UK.
Nope. The origin of the dish was in the eastern U.S., not Canada.
😂
At some gas stations here when you use a credit card they require your Zip.
In the US many gas pumps ask for your zip code after giving your PIN as an added security protection.
Gas station “credit card” payment system asks for zip code.
PIN codes are used for “debit cards”.
Almost every gas station makes you enter your zip code here, it's goofy and one extra step that takes 10 seconds, but it's just a way of preventing thieves using stolen debit/credit cards at gas pumps
gas stations often have pumps that ask for zip code on credit card purchases at the pump
Being American I never hard of roll call, we would call it taking attendance. And a small couch with two seats is also known as a love seat.
Or a sofa. Taking attendance was probably more common where I was, but roll call wasn't unusual, either.
Credit cards don’t usually or haven’t usually had pin codes in the US. So if you’re using credit to pay at the pump for gas it asks for your ZIP code to check if it matches the billing address.
We have Drugstore, but we also have Pharmacy but our local one is called Salem Apothecary.
In my part of the midwest U.S., I generally must enter my ZIP (postal) code when paying by card at the pump. It is a security measure meant to deter theft as most people who can obtain your card won't know your ZIP code. Yes, it should be called a 'postal code' but, back in the 50s when it was introduced, it was called the Zone Improvement Plan..so the acronym ZIP became a abbreviation.
Wikipedia says:
London broil, is a beef dish made by broiling marinated beef, then cutting it across the grain into thin strips. Despite its name, the dish and the terminology are North American, not British
"London broil" originally referred to broiled flank steak, although modern butchers may label top round, coulotte, or other cuts as "London broil", and the term has come to refer more to a method of preparation and cookery than to a specific cut of meat.
You actually do enter your ZIP code at a gas pump to verify your billing address, so that is correct as shown.
It is a thing at some service stations for the pump to ask for your zip code. When the transaction is being processed, if the zip code doesn't match the billing account of the cardholder, the transaction will be declined. It's far from highly secure, but it is another hurdle that must be cleared if/when such is requested.
Which is really silly considering that most credit cards are stored in a wallet with a driver's license having a full address. It is the most insecure form of ID possible. But we use it.
@@wmason1961 Granted, but few automated pumps are set up to read the QR codes on driver's licenses, even though they easily could. It's more a matter with the credit/debit card processing companies that handle the transactions from the pumps.
@@lumina1104 my drivers license has no QR codes. My zip is clearly printed on it. It is in the same wallet as my credit cards.
@@wmason1961 Some states use QR and some don't. PDF417 barcodes are now on all newly issued or renewed licenses in all states, though. So, they could be used instead. A visual scan would be more secure than a zip code, but less secure than PDF417 or QR codes.
Regardless, it is the companies processing the transactions that sometimes opt to require a person to enter their zip code. Whether it makes any sense or not is beside the point. They can require what they choose or refuse to process the transaction.
In the US it depends on the company, but some gas stations ask for a zip code at the pumps when you use your card. Some just ask for a pin number. Most ask for a pin number to be honest.
In America, a lot of gas stations or petrol stations I believe you call them, if you are paying at the pump instead of going inside, if your using a bank debit card then you normally would use your PIN number, but if you're using a credit card then you would use your ZIP code as proof of card ownership. Also, yes to heat something from above is to broil it, to heat from below in an enclosed space like an oven is to bake and to heat from below in an open or closed outdoor setting is to grill. Some people have grills built in as an appliance in their kitchen where they cook with heat from below but in an open setting as opposed to an oven. We would never call an outdoor grill a Bar-B-Q as that is used to reference a piece of meat usually cooked with different types of sauce or rubs or both.
American gas stations will often require you enter your zip code tied to the address on file for your bank along with the 4 digit pin number. It's a security measure to prevent transactions on a stolen card.
12:00 Gas pumps (petrol) in the US give you the choice to use credit or debit as the pump doesn't know which card you're using. Most of our bank cards may have VISA or Master Card on them. If we choose debit, we enter our PIN but if we prefer to use credit, it asks for our billing zip (postal) code. I don't know why this is, as it still just takes it right out of our checking account.
Some things go by multiple names: some are shared in whole or in part between the U.S. & the U.K. - & some are not.
An example of 'shared in part'...
Bachelor Party which you call a Stag Do is also sometimes referred to as a Stag Party here in the U.S.
Hoagie has a million alternatives depending on region. I’d call it a sub sandwich. Some places call them grinders. I’m positive there are even more
London broils are best for potato and vegetable roasts on a stove or in a crockpot. Yea I call it the pin
That's PAY AT THE PUMP.. you insert cc and enter zip code then choose the fuel you want and pump
Why do they need your zip code?
Roll Call comes from the days when paper was on a Scroll.
According to Wikipedia, what is called "London broil" in North America "originally referred to broiled flank steak, although modern butchers may label top round, coulotte, or other cuts as 'London broil,' and the term has come to refer more to a method of preparation and cookery than to a specific cut of meat." It tastes and looks similar to more expensive cuts of steak (I've paid less than for ground/minced beef), but it's a tougher meat that's more difficult to chew. It's common to marinate the meat before broiling/grilling (my preference is teriyaki). I don't know why it's called "London" broil.
I have never had to enter my ZIP code (which is called that because it was something that the postal service here USPS implemented as marketing to get people to use it- "in a zip" would be "very quickly") at any gas station or ATM or anything that was not online...
Also on the sandwich I would call it a submarine sandwich- or a sub- this changes in different areas of the country
London broil we just cook in the oven, and I have never used the word hoagie in my life. Also, I say curtains and ID’d.
We do say pre school in the USA. It’s before going to kindergarten. We pronounce Moscow two ways.
In reference “roll call”, roll is short for enrollment. Roll, refers to enrollment list.
11:40 They (the banks/gas station) ask for your zip code as a security measure when you pay at the pump. There is no need to use your pin code.
Yep you're right.
It’s a gas pump so in the states you put in your zip code if it’s credit card or pin if your using your bank debit card. If your credit card was lost or stolen and a person finds it and tries to use it at a gas station, they likely wouldn’t know the zip code.
the pin code/number is used for debit card. When you use a credit card, however, it asks for you zip or post code since credit cards don't have pin codes.
I've been requested to enter my zip code when paying at a fuel pump before. it must match the address registered to the account as a security measure. that may have been as a credit purchase as opposed to a debit purchase. not the only time I've been requested to enter my zip code for a card purchase
Zip code are used for billing address at fuel sites
As far as I know in America the till would refer to the removable part that holds the money
Credit cards don't have PIN's, so at a gas station if you use a credit card, to authenticate it, you enter your ZIP code.
