One = welcome to World Friends , Callie 🇺🇲 , Two = Lauren is back 😁🇬🇧 , good , Three = Christina🇺🇲 and Lauren🇬🇧 are the main members of the channel , great duo , Four = i already like Hannah , especially her hair 👩🏻🦰🇬🇧
I've never seen anyone on YT comments using 'um' when referring to the USA, it's always been 'us' and normally 'uk' not 'gb' as we try to include all 4 parts of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Cheers.
I’m pretty sure the “jumpsuit” term started with the fact that in WWII paratroopers trained in them, and they jump out of planes. Also, it kinda turned in to regular equipment when skydiving, or piloting planes, etc.
Hi guys, Lauren here 🇬🇧 I was so happy to be back filming at World Friends! I was trying so hard to think of a word for windbreaker, it was cagoule! Not sure if anyone still uses this word or not but there you go😂
Cagoule used to a common term in the 70's. Waterproof coated synthetic fabrics were new so a new word for the lightweight hooded tops they made from it helped define a new product . Kayakers still use the term, shortened to cag, but it's a French word, not Inuit. I reckon it would just be a waterproof now, or a windproof if it doesn't stop you getting wet.
A boiler suit was for crawling inside boilers to maintain them. Also what overalls, or coveralls, would look like in the UK. Think a jump suit in was originally for parachuting. A waist coat only reaches down to your waist.
6:20 The term “Mac” has now come to refer to almost any 3/4 length raincoat. The origin of the term, however, properly lies in the name of its Scottish inventor, Charles Macintosh, who in 1823 patented a coat made with the new waterproof fabric he had created.
I'm an American and it's strange listening to these American women half my age using different terms for things than I grew up with. I don't know if it's generational difference or regional differences (but FWIW, I have heard dungarees in the US, too). Their jumpsuit I would have called coveralls (distinguished from overalls in that overalls only have a bib over the upper body, while coveralls have sleeves and provide full coverage from neck to wrist to ankle). If I heard jumpsuit, I would think of a one-piece item of women's clothing combining upper body coverage with lower body coverage to the ankle (trousers, not a skirt). If I heard romper, I would expect the bottom to be above knee length. Rain boots, galoshes, overshoes (if designed to be worn over street shoes). The button-up shirt I would call an oxford, though the internet tells me that an oxford shirt is a specific type of button-up shirt. But since there are lot's a different styles of women's button-up shirts, I find oxford useful shorthand for the more menswear-style of button-up. Apparently this line from the Beatle's Penny Lane has been sailing over these girls' head: "And the banker never wears a mac in the pouring rain, very strange."
its not generational. i m same age as the american women in the video and i have heard dungarees, overall/coverall and the jumpsuit and romper have same connotations. that thing is called a jumpsuit for women even on online retailers in US, also i have never found people specify shirt types unless defining dress code etc. that was just a shirt or blouse. i have definitely heard parka for windbreaker too
@Tuxedo Junction, I feel like there are similarities more between British English to Australian English than American. Similarly with Australia to New Zealand English. American English I feel has the most individual word choices (in the actual word, like trousers vs pants) but also in the spelling of words (like color vs colour). Also, I'm from the U.S.
New Zealand English is a mix of both too. Officially, we use British English here but because of American media influence, American terms for things are becoming quite widespread.
Charles Macintosh (no K) in Glasgow and Thomas Hancock in Manchester developed and patented a method for using vulcanised rubber in clothing, allowing it to be both waterproof and flexible. Waterproofing garments with rubber is a very old idea, and has been linked to the pre-Colombian Aztecs, who used to coat clothing with latex.
As a Canadian, I call these items overalls, a windbreaker or shell or outer-shell, a top or poplin (blouse is considered old-fashioned here), thrift store, a tank top with spaghetti straps or cami, a vest, rubber boots, a raincoat, coveralls (if worn by janitors or mechanics) and jumpsuit (if it is for fashion and not professional purposes) and a romper here is like a short jumpsuit (no pants, but shorts).
The Norwegian word for the dungarees pictured in the video is "snekkerbukse", which translates as "carpenter's trousers". Presumably, carpenters wore them a lot.
In the US we have a version called carpenter pants. They're made of either denim or heavy twill, and have loops on the sides to slide your hammer into.
Thank so much for all your wonderful videos! I really love them! 'Dungaree' was/is some kind of fabric traditionally manufactured in India. So, the term is used referring to the type of cloth/fabric (just like the term 'indigo') regardless of the kind of garment. 'Parka' would be another term for windbreaker, or just maybe 'anorak'... 'Wellingtons' leather boots are named after the Duke of Wellington. The popular term has to do with the shape type, not the material (rubber, plastic etc.), rainy weather or water repellant footwear in general. 'Jumpsuit' is related to parachutists and pilots who had to jump out of the plane... Thank you!
Yes, true. In 1956 Eddie Fisher had a big hit with "Dungaree Doll", which indicated that the girl being sung about wore jeans/dungarees. However, that word, like trousers, has been left in the past in the U.S.
Spanish words (Spain): Dungarees - Peto Waterproof Jacket - cortavientos Shirt - camisa (hombre) / blusa (mujer) Charity shop - tienda de segunda mano Vest top - top Waistcoat - chaleco Wellies - botas de agua / Katiuskas Mac - abrigo impermeable/ chubasquero Boilersuit - mono
In the US, a jumpsuit is, I thought, something that's regular wear but all one piece like that. Something fashionable. A one piece utility garment as shown I usual call "cover-alls".
Do you know why it was fun ? Because there was nobody attacking anybody else . When one of them would realise their version was different , she would say her version was the funny one , instead of making fun of the other ones . At this day and time with so much hate online , it’s refreshing to watch people just having good fun .
In the US, Wellington boots are a specific type of pull-on boots, usually leather. They are considered work boots. The rubber boots are not Wellington boots. They are mud boots or barn boots. The suit is called a cover-all for the obvious reason.
Wellington boots are never leather in the UK. They're rubber or over recent years EVA too. You can get boots like Muckboots which are made of Neoprene, but I don't think they'd really be classed as wellies, even though they're still waterproof. Work boots are usually just work boots and often are leather, or sometimes called steel toe caps.
So this topic is mostly likely : Americans 🇺🇸⬜ vs Bristish 🇬🇧⬛ Good to see Lauren back As French 🇫🇷 I woud side with the Americans, their English is actually more easier to learn and to speak. We 🟦⬜🟥 say : 1:55 : [une salopette, une bretelle] 2:40 : [un coupe-vent] 3:00 : [une chemise] 3:40 (not sure) : [un magasin d'occasion] I would say "second hand shop" for US, makes a lot of sense 5:00 (English vocabularies is quite confused) : [débardeur] 5:30 : [un gilet], I've heard of waistcoat before 5:45 : [bottes imperméables] lol wellies 6:20 : [manteau imperméable] 7:00 : [une combinaison] boiler suit 🤣 Our French vocabulairy is clearly hands down in my view. That's just my opinion
In the USA we would say second hand shop only is the used goods aren’t being sold to help the less fortunate. When the store is being run by a non profit agency like Goodwill or the Salvation Army then we call it a thrift shop. The word thrifty in English means cheap.
Wait, isn't _salope_ a bad word in French? Salopette sounds dirty hehe I wonder where the word _salope_ came from. I studied French in secondary school and uni so it's been a quick sec
5:59 Another name for these, one that I grew up with, is "galoshes." Also, I grew up using "overalls" and "dungarees" interchangeably. But I grew up in the NY metro area in the 1970s, so 🤷♂️
Long sleeved canvas jump suits are more practical than "overalls". Jump suits actually cover you. In the summer, a black jumpsuit, soaked every 45-60 minutes can keep you cool in 110 (41C). White absorbs less heat, but black radiates more heat. Canvas is much tougher than skin. Wear leather or kevlar gloves if you are doing yard work, and make sure you cover your head- hat or helmet, depending on what you are doing.
Yes, it comes from Mackintosh which was an overcoat worn to protect your clothes from the rain. they were usually tan. I think Mackintosh was the name brand but became the regular name for that style coat.
5:36 no, we do. I've definitely heard it called a waistcoat before in America. Not so much in every day conversation, vest is far more common in that situation. But if you go to a men's shop to buy a suit, they'll often call these waistcoats. So its in a term in the US as well. 5:40 another term sometimes used in the US is galoshes.
Bruce 🇺🇸 here. Love this channel and all the people on it. Definitely have heard waistcoat in US. I can’t speak for women’s clothing but have heard it used in men’s formalwear shops, when renting a tuxedo. Also I thought in the UK 🇬🇧 you guys would say “WES-kut” although that may be regional, perhaps?
I think jumpsuit was named after the suit that airplane/Air Force members would wear when they were on a mission and perhaps they would have to jump out of the airplane.
It's called a "windbreaker" because it's not heavy enough to wear in the winter when it's actually cold out, but in the spring and fall, when it's windy, you may not want to go out in just shirtsleeves, so you wear a windbreaker; it's just enough to keep the wind from going right through your shirt and making you cold. This is why windbreakers are usually made from non-porous material, so that the wind can't go through them like it would woven cotton. And yes, some thrift shops are run by charitable organizations (most notably, the Salvation Army), but others are operated by for-profit companies. Opinions are divided on exactly how to categorize the most famous one, Goodwill; technically it's non-profit, but it pays a lot of wages to a lot of people. Educated Americans have heard of waistcoats, because they occasionally show up in eighteenth-century literature. But I didn't know what the term meant until Lawrence Brown put it in one of his "Lost in the Pond" videos. The term has not been used in America for a VERY long time. I think this is one of those oddball situations in which British English is actually more linguistically conservative than American English; which is not how it usually goes, with these terminology differences (apart from Webster's spelling reforms).
Hello~ Hannah here! 🇬🇧 I had so much fun filming with everyone 🥰 I loved some of Christina and Callie's explanations haha 😂 hope you all enjoy watching! 😍
Lovely School days, We like this group meeting, Happy to see the similes 😃 on their Faces.We feel you all our Class Mates.Imaginations, feeling, thinking.Thanks.
Waistcoat used to be a more common term in the US but largely fell out of use after the early 20 Century. Jumpsuit is often also referred to as a coveralls, which differs from overalls in that they cover all the body, including the arms and not just the legs and torso. Dungarees is a term that used to be used in the US Navy to refer to the utility uniform which was meant for wear when the individual was expected to engage in manual labor. It consisted of a cotton button-down shirt of lower quality and denim pants/trousers.
@Alexi marchenko I understand, but again, I have almost never heard an American refer to this piece as a waistcoat unless they were born in the first half of the 20th Century or unless they were very into men's fashion of said period. Perhaps there is a regional aspect as well that I am not familiar with, but I stand by my statement that the term has become antiquated.
@@SubFT Possibly regionally dependent? I learned the more formal version is a waistcoat, while the more casual styles are vests. I'm from the north east (NY, NJ) if that makes any difference. But I will agree, it's definitely more antiquated these days.
McIntosh was the Brit who first made rubberized cloth for outerwear. The apple variety was what the computer line was named after. IDK if there was any connection, but it is a common Scots surname.
Goodwill is probably the most widespread second hand shop in the US, but it is very specifically NOT a charity shop. Goodwill is a private company, not a charity, but most people assume it is a charity, and Goodwill purposely attempts to make people think they are a non profit.
Goodwill is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. They are indeed a charity. They consistently receive the highest ratings from watchdog groups who rate charities based on several important factors, including a perfect score from several of those groups . I hope you will consider revising your false comment. I have no connection to Goodwill, but what you said is not true, and may discourage people from supporting charities like Goodwill.
Dungaree actually comes from the Hindi word dungri. Dungarees are thought to have been named after Dongari Kapar, a harbourside village near Mumbai in India where a coarse, thick calico was manufactured. The Hindi name for this cloth was dungri. Along the way an extra syllable was added and "dungri" became "dungaree". Hope it helps :)
Dungarees is a term not used too often in the USA anymore, it was more popular in the 1960s and 1970s it would refer to jean pants made of the same material. They are still called blue jeans or more commonly just jeans.
I was just watching the series Inventing Anna on Netflix and when Anna is in jail they refer to her one piece outfit as jumpsuit. So yes jumpsuit is def a word we use in the US. I tend to say that more than coveralls.
Dungaree actually comes from India where dungri was a course cloth used to make work clothes. Dungaree is the name of the fabric not end product. Dungaree was popular in the U.S. in the 50s, it referred to blue jeans. The thing in the photo is a bib overall in America, overalls and bib overalls are 2 very different items.
In Brazil:🇧🇷 1 Macacão 2 Corta Vento 3 camisa de manga longa 4 Brechó 5 camisola (i think) 6 colete 7 botas 8 capa de chuva 9 conjunto (i think) For me the interesting one was "Wellies" that was a word i've never heard of and also "Mac" i wouldn't never imagine that cause i only knew Mac like the computer. It was nice watching you guys! Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
Dungarees is a term practically unknown in New Zealand, however when I learned the Maori word for Jeans (Denim Trousers) is tāngari (there is no 'D' in Maori), I knew immediately where it had been derived from in the days of early European settlement.
Mackintosh is the original brand name of rubber-lined waterproof raincoats, named after the Scottish inventor, Charles Macintosh, who patented the process of sandwiching a thin layer of rubber between sturdy canvas that made them wearable (when they didn't melt in the heat, anyway). While the Mackintosh brand still exists, nearly 200 years after founding, in UK English it's been genericized for a specific type of raincoat. (Personally, I prefer dusters.) To me (American), what they called "overalls" I would specifically call bib overalls, and I associate them with working on a farm because they go over the clothes you don't want in the muck and mud, in addition to being a kid thing. "Dungarees" in the US is a somewhat uncommon alternate word for jeans. What they called a jumpsuit or boiler suit I'd call coveralls, because they're what you wear to avoid getting grime and gunk and grease on your clothes or anywhere besides your face, hands, and boots. They cover all. A "jumpsuit" is a kind of outfit that's just one piece, similar to coveralls, but meant to be fashionable for daily wear, and it's considered casual or business casual, depending on cut and fabric.
Seeing these videos really makes my day! Lauren and Christina always have great chemistry, and I also enjoyed the new friends 😊 I’m from the USA (northeast Georgia), and what the Americans in the video called a “jumpsuit” I’ve always heard and said “coveralls” for that item. I guess maybe it depends on where you’re from since the US is so large. Anyway, thanks for another great video guys! 💚
I've heard both, I feel like mechanics or someone getting dirty (artists?) would say "coveralls" vs where I think the "jumpsuit" originated was from the Air-force, and paratroopers. Since they literally "jumped" out of aircraft lol
We Germans use a lot of English words differently. The JumpSuit, we call Overall The Overall without arms we don't call it Overall because it doesn't cover the arms and it is not overall....
The “Jumpsuit” shown is called Coverall which is used for working in. The actual Jumpsuit is the one piece suit worn by Elvis that’s for fashion that came out probably in the ‘70s. I’ve seen old fashion catalogs that had Jumpsuits. The one shown is definitely a Coverall.
Dungarees are thought to have been named for Dongari Kapar,a harbourside village near Mumbaiin India where acoarse, thick calico was manufactured. The Hindi name for this cloth was dungri". Along the way an extra syllable was added and "dungri" became "dungaree".
For me, a man with Californian parents, born in Hawaii, but grew up in Colorado. Here's mine. 1. Overalls 2. Windbreaker 3. Blouse for women Oxford shirt for men or button-up collared shirt for general term for both sexes. 4. Goodwill/Thrift shop 5. Spaghetti Straps 6. Vest (any sleeveless jacket), or Waistcoat (specific to 3 piece suits). 7. Rainboots (never heard wellies) 8. Raincoat 9. Jumpsuit. It's called a jumpsuit because this is the style of uniform Airborne and other parachuting jobs in the military would wear. In other words it's what people who _jump_ out of airplanes would wear. It's also standard (I believe) for an aircraft pilot in the military to wear a version of these under his G suit.
Since about the year 2000 in some parts of Australia no one ever wears or owns a raincoat, they just get wet if it happens to rain. Too much bother to deal with a coat for the rain. If it rains stay inside or travel by car direct to the door. For some folk, it feels kind of weird to have a coat for rain. Its hard to explain.
I’m American. I heard Seattle is like that. But I’m guessing people like this don’t straighten their hair and don’t wear clothes that take a long time to dry. Walking around in wet clothes all day isn’t ideal.
"Mac" comes from Charles Macintosh, who patented a kind of waterproof fabric in 1823. And "coat" the noun came before "coat" the verb, by many centuries!
In india we say both 'color' and 'colour'. You dont get corrected if u write any of these, but i prefer 'colour' it just seems right..its because of the British influence on india..😂and also when i was a kid i was taught 'colour' and not 'color' so i think that is the reason.. 😀
Good episode. I’m American and have never heard of a waist coast. Overalls in the USA aren’t just for children. A lot of my family members were farmers and the men wore denim overalls every day while working. If these ladies only associate them with kids they probably have never spent time in a rural area. Also we Americans call the skirt version of overalls a jumper which in the UK means sweater. Also I think what we call those shops depends on where the proceeds go. If it’s run by a non profit organization that helps poor people then we call it a thrift shop. The jumpsuit probably got its name in the USA from the military. I primarily associate them with military pilots/air crewmen because they wear this and these are the type of people who might have to jump out of airplanes. Welcome to the new ladies from the UK and USA.
@@CrimsonStigmata Consignment means the owner of the item is agreeing to let the owner of the shop sell their stuff in exchange for a percentage of sales. I have done this with some formal dresses I no longer wanted. However after some dresses didn’t sell after so long in the store I went and retrieved them because they still belonged to me. However a second hand shop owner might be used things the owner bought outright and wouldn’t owe anyone any money if it sells.
I've definitely heard waistcoat before. But usually just at the men's shop when I'm buying a suit. So maybe its not something women generally get exposed to in the US unless they're shopping for a suit for their husband or something.
@@stellamortis4088 I have heard pinafore before but I thought it was more like an “apron” dress over another dress. Whereas a jumper isn’t worn over a dress. But I found this in Wikipedia Pinafores may be worn as a decorative garment and as a protective apron. A related term is pinafore dress (known as a jumper in American English), i.e. a sleeveless dress intended to be worn over a top or blouse.
Hi! I found why they´re called Macs! The Mackintosh or raincoat (abbreviated as mac) is a form of waterproof raincoat, first sold in 1824, made of rubberised fabric. The Mackintosh is named after its Scottish inventor Charles Macintosh, although many writers added a letter k. The variant spelling of "Mackintosh" is now standard. Google as all the answers!
In the U.S. we also have the term galoshes for waterproof boots. I thought that mac was short for mackintosh for the yellow waterproof jacket. The Apple Macintosh is named after the green Macintosh type of apples, used in cooking. I thought that the waistcoat was a tailoring term because formal coats were long, and waistcoats were cut at the waist. Whereas vests were in a 3 piece suit and are a thinner inner garment under the jacket, and sleeveless padded jackets became vests. Jumpsuit came from parachuting jumpsuits (as in the all over suit that you wear for jumping out of an airplane) from WWII, later popular with celebrities and in fashion.
im from the us I say all the same apart from a thrift store we say charity shop or good will I think it really does depend where you come from in the UK but most of them I did disagree with I was like huh
The Mackintosh raincoat was invented by Charles Macintosh (some people wrote it with a k and it stuck) while the Apple Macintosh computer is named after the.. apple cultivar McIntosh, from its discoverer John McIntosh.
I heard coveralls called a jumpsuit, coveralls make more sense to me. It maybe a gender thing, but yeah, heard people call a vest a waist coat or under coat.
Toronto Canada - my personal answers - Overalls - Windbreaker - Dress shirt - Thrift shop/store - Tank top (specifically spaghetti strapped) - Vest - Rain boots - Rain Coat - Jumpsuit or Jumper

6:20 : [manteau imperméable]
7:00 : [une combinaison] boiler suit 🤣
Our French vocabulairy is clearly hands down in my view. That's just my opinion
In the USA we would say second hand shop only is the used goods aren’t being sold to help the less fortunate. When the store is being run by a non profit agency like Goodwill or the Salvation Army then we call it a thrift shop. The word thrifty in English means cheap.
Wait, isn't _salope_ a bad word in French? Salopette sounds dirty hehe I wonder where the word _salope_ came from. I studied French in secondary school and uni so it's been a quick sec
Eventually??
Do you mean 'actually'.
@@alistairt7544 Nope at all.
It's good to see Lauren from the UK ❤
The duo is finally back . Love you guys
5:59 Another name for these, one that I grew up with, is "galoshes."
Also, I grew up using "overalls" and "dungarees" interchangeably. But I grew up in the NY metro area in the 1970s, so 🤷♂️
Yeah, I wasn’t expecting rain boots. I mean, I have definitely heard it before, but I didn’t grow up saying it.
Coveralls in Canada typically, spaghetti strap camisole, blouse typically is a frilly button down, the other is a button down dress shirt.
Yup, or workhual as well Cause I'm also Canadian guessing depends on which part of Canada I guess.
Long sleeved canvas jump suits are more practical than "overalls". Jump suits actually cover you. In the summer, a black jumpsuit, soaked every 45-60 minutes can keep you cool in 110 (41C). White absorbs less heat, but black radiates more heat. Canvas is much tougher than skin. Wear leather or kevlar gloves if you are doing yard work, and make sure you cover your head- hat or helmet, depending on what you are doing.
Yes, it comes from Mackintosh which was an overcoat worn to protect your clothes from the rain. they were usually tan. I think Mackintosh was the name brand but became the regular name for that style coat.
5:36 no, we do. I've definitely heard it called a waistcoat before in America. Not so much in every day conversation, vest is far more common in that situation. But if you go to a men's shop to buy a suit, they'll often call these waistcoats. So its in a term in the US as well.
5:40 another term sometimes used in the US is galoshes.
Here in Philippines we say WAISTCOAT as well
Bruce 🇺🇸 here. Love this channel and all the people on it. Definitely have heard waistcoat in US. I can’t speak for women’s clothing but have heard it used in men’s formalwear shops, when renting a tuxedo. Also I thought in the UK 🇬🇧 you guys would say “WES-kut” although that may be regional, perhaps?
How come there was no reaction to the "wife beater" in the thumbnail? 🤔
(I'd love to know why it's called that.) 🧐
I think jumpsuit was named after the suit that airplane/Air Force members would wear when they were on a mission and perhaps they would have to jump out of the airplane.
Yep, you are spot on. It was used in WW I by parachuters who jumped out of planes.
The word they were looking for is coveralls.
@@dolphmanity Yep it's coveralls. Jumpsuits are for pilots.
@@OvermannOnline I call the one piece outfits that inmates wear as prison jumpsuits. Do you call them coveralls?
It's called a "windbreaker" because it's not heavy enough to wear in the winter when it's actually cold out, but in the spring and fall, when it's windy, you may not want to go out in just shirtsleeves, so you wear a windbreaker; it's just enough to keep the wind from going right through your shirt and making you cold. This is why windbreakers are usually made from non-porous material, so that the wind can't go through them like it would woven cotton.
And yes, some thrift shops are run by charitable organizations (most notably, the Salvation Army), but others are operated by for-profit companies. Opinions are divided on exactly how to categorize the most famous one, Goodwill; technically it's non-profit, but it pays a lot of wages to a lot of people.
Educated Americans have heard of waistcoats, because they occasionally show up in eighteenth-century literature. But I didn't know what the term meant until Lawrence Brown put it in one of his "Lost in the Pond" videos. The term has not been used in America for a VERY long time. I think this is one of those oddball situations in which British English is actually more linguistically conservative than American English; which is not how it usually goes, with these terminology differences (apart from Webster's spelling reforms).
Hello~ Hannah here! 🇬🇧 I had so much fun filming with everyone 🥰 I loved some of Christina and Callie's explanations haha 😂 hope you all enjoy watching! 😍
remember, Christina invented jumpsuit 👍
Welcome Hannah love your accent and your hair color 😍
Which part of the UK are you from?
Welcome. Loved it, so much fun.
Australians also refer to the 1915 WW1 snowball recruitment march in south east Queensland which was called the March of the Dungarees
Lovely School days, We like this group meeting, Happy to see the similes 😃 on their Faces.We feel you all our Class Mates.Imaginations, feeling, thinking.Thanks.
The two girls going “long sleeve t-shirt” made me feel my British-ness inside, some of the responses were so British 😌
In the UK for Thrift Store we do say Second Hand Shop. And Goodwill is what we call a Charity Shop. The photo does look like a charity shop however.
I love Christina and Lauren
USA: Rainboots
UK: Wellies
New Zealand: Gumboots
Waistcoat used to be a more common term in the US but largely fell out of use after the early 20 Century. Jumpsuit is often also referred to as a coveralls, which differs from overalls in that they cover all the body, including the arms and not just the legs and torso. Dungarees is a term that used to be used in the US Navy to refer to the utility uniform which was meant for wear when the individual was expected to engage in manual labor. It consisted of a cotton button-down shirt of lower quality and denim pants/trousers.
@Alexi marchenko I understand, but again, I have almost never heard an American refer to this piece as a waistcoat unless they were born in the first half of the 20th Century or unless they were very into men's fashion of said period. Perhaps there is a regional aspect as well that I am not familiar with, but I stand by my statement that the term has become antiquated.
@@SubFT Possibly regionally dependent? I learned the more formal version is a waistcoat, while the more casual styles are vests. I'm from the north east (NY, NJ) if that makes any difference. But I will agree, it's definitely more antiquated these days.
We wore jumpsuits aboard submarines, called them "poopie suits."
@@chuckwilliams6261 I remember them well. It seems it's become the underway uniform throughout the fleet.
McIntosh was the Brit who first made rubberized cloth for outerwear. The apple variety was what the computer line was named after. IDK if there was any connection, but it is a common Scots surname.
well thank you for this information sir, i used to think Macintosh was named after american native tribe like apache or something like that.
It is also referenced in A Room With A View, written long before Mac computers existed!
FYI: :)
The origin of the term (rain) mac derived from the name of its Scottish inventor, Charles Macintosh.
It's technically an anorak right? Or am I a terrible Brit?
@@MrJoeshipley I can't tell, I'm Austrian. 😅 Funny tho, because we call it Anorak (or Regenjacke) as well 😂
@@lapoppii4081 Huh wonder where that term originated.
@@lapoppii4081 apparently the term "anoraq" originated in Greenland if you're interested
Goodwill is probably the most widespread second hand shop in the US, but it is very specifically NOT a charity shop. Goodwill is a private company, not a charity, but most people assume it is a charity, and Goodwill purposely attempts to make people think they are a non profit.
Goodwill is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. They are indeed a charity. They consistently receive the highest ratings from watchdog groups who rate charities based on several important factors, including a perfect score from several of those groups . I hope you will consider revising your false comment. I have no connection to Goodwill, but what you said is not true, and may discourage people from supporting charities like Goodwill.
I was waiting for Lauren and Christina and finally Lauren is hereee
I've heard waistcoat in reference to really old clothing, like revolutionary Era or in Jane Austin novels.
Dungaree actually comes from the Hindi word dungri.
Dungarees are thought to have been named after Dongari Kapar, a harbourside village near Mumbai in India where a coarse, thick calico was manufactured. The Hindi name for this cloth was dungri. Along the way an extra syllable was added and "dungri" became "dungaree".
Hope it helps :)
Bungalow is another Hindi word we've adopted too, right?
@@MrJoeshipley absolutely right
@@MrJoeshipley Bungalow, Jungle, Juggernaut, Cummerbund, Bandana, and many more :)
@@PristinePerceptions yes that is the nature of the English language. Even in its infancy.
Dungarees is a term not used too often in the USA anymore, it was more popular in the 1960s and 1970s it would refer to jean pants made of the same material. They are still called blue jeans or more commonly just jeans.
Woohoooo LAUREN IS BAAAACK!!!
I was just watching the series Inventing Anna on Netflix and when Anna is in jail they refer to her one piece outfit as jumpsuit. So yes jumpsuit is def a word we use in the US. I tend to say that more than coveralls.
--------------------
6:48
*jumpsuit: air force parachutist*
*boilersuit: army weaponry shop*

There is our Lauren!
Dungaree actually comes from India where dungri was a course cloth used to make work clothes. Dungaree is the name of the fabric not end product. Dungaree was popular in the U.S. in the 50s, it referred to blue jeans. The thing in the photo is a bib overall in America, overalls and bib overalls are 2 very different items.
The jumpsuit/boiler suit is called coveralls in Canada.
Yup .. it does sound Australian -> dungarees -> dungaroo -> kangaroo 😃
Nope, we never use the word dungarees in Australia.
Dungaree comes from an Indian term for the fabric. When I was young, denim jeans were also called dungarees. I'm in the US.
Does this mean the plural of kangaroo is kangarees...?
It sounds Australian but is actually from the Hindi language of India.
Nah, in Australia we just call them overalls, we also call the boilersuits overalls too lol

Number 7 I would call it galocha
Welcome back Lauren UK 🇬🇧 WE USA 🇺🇸 N UK fans missed u hey Christina
Dungaree is not an Australian word ,it is actually an Indian word taken directly from Hindi without any changes.
Thought it must be, is it exactly the same sort of garment? For men or women?
@@ethelmini It comes from "Dongri", a port city near Mumbai where this was first manufactured.
@@ethelmini Yes ,it was manufactured at a place called Dongri in India ,Brits took it back home and spelled it as Dungaree.
Dungarees is a term practically unknown in New Zealand, however when I learned the Maori word for Jeans (Denim Trousers) is tāngari (there is no 'D' in Maori), I knew immediately where it had been derived from in the days of early European settlement.
Yeah lauren is back
I believe the word dungaree is anglo-indian in origin, derived from Hindi.
It's always fun to watch Lauren and Christina 🤣
Always, debate, this kind of battle are interesting^^; | Миру мир!
I am a simple man. I see Lauren, I click.
Christina is the most elegant one
up
I love lauren personality
Good cast, all around. Way to go, World Friends.
Mackintosh is the original brand name of rubber-lined waterproof raincoats, named after the Scottish inventor, Charles Macintosh, who patented the process of sandwiching a thin layer of rubber between sturdy canvas that made them wearable (when they didn't melt in the heat, anyway). While the Mackintosh brand still exists, nearly 200 years after founding, in UK English it's been genericized for a specific type of raincoat. (Personally, I prefer dusters.)
To me (American), what they called "overalls" I would specifically call bib overalls, and I associate them with working on a farm because they go over the clothes you don't want in the muck and mud, in addition to being a kid thing. "Dungarees" in the US is a somewhat uncommon alternate word for jeans. What they called a jumpsuit or boiler suit I'd call coveralls, because they're what you wear to avoid getting grime and gunk and grease on your clothes or anywhere besides your face, hands, and boots. They cover all. A "jumpsuit" is a kind of outfit that's just one piece, similar to coveralls, but meant to be fashionable for daily wear, and it's considered casual or business casual, depending on cut and fabric.
Seeing these videos really makes my day! Lauren and Christina always have great chemistry, and I also enjoyed the new friends 😊 I’m from the USA (northeast Georgia), and what the Americans in the video called a “jumpsuit” I’ve always heard and said “coveralls” for that item. I guess maybe it depends on where you’re from since the US is so large. Anyway, thanks for another great video guys! 💚
I've heard both, I feel like mechanics or someone getting dirty (artists?) would say "coveralls" vs where I think the "jumpsuit" originated was from the Air-force, and paratroopers. Since they literally "jumped" out of aircraft lol
We French 🟦⬜🟥 call this [une combinaison]
The jumpsuit is actually refered to the Airforce Army suit when they jump out of the plane
We Germans use a lot of English words differently.
The JumpSuit, we call Overall
The Overall without arms we don't call it Overall because it doesn't cover the arms and it is not overall....
@@larsradtke4097 Very interesting. That means we could talk and be discussing two different things.

The “Jumpsuit” shown is called Coverall which is used for working in. The actual Jumpsuit is the one piece suit worn by Elvis that’s for fashion that came out probably in the ‘70s. I’ve seen old fashion catalogs that had Jumpsuits. The one shown is definitely a Coverall.
I wish Grace was there 😊 miss her. Love these girls 💕💕
In Canada we also have British spellings for words we also have the “u” in like colour or favourite or labour or favour or neighbour or behaviour etc
Dungarees are thought to have been named for Dongari Kapar,a harbourside village near Mumbaiin India where acoarse, thick calico was manufactured. The Hindi name for this cloth was dungri". Along the way an extra syllable was added and "dungri" became "dungaree".
The jumpsiut is called "Overall" in Germany.
For me, a man with Californian parents, born in Hawaii, but grew up in Colorado. Here's mine.
1. Overalls
2. Windbreaker
3. Blouse for women Oxford shirt for men or button-up collared shirt for general term for both sexes.
4. Goodwill/Thrift shop
5. Spaghetti Straps
6. Vest (any sleeveless jacket), or Waistcoat (specific to 3 piece suits).
7. Rainboots (never heard wellies)
8. Raincoat
9. Jumpsuit. It's called a jumpsuit because this is the style of uniform Airborne and other parachuting jobs in the military would wear. In other words it's what people who _jump_ out of airplanes would wear. It's also standard (I believe) for an aircraft pilot in the military to wear a version of these under his G suit.
WELCOME BACK LAUREN
Welcome Callie and Hannah
These 4 are a great combo. I hope to see them all again in the future.
LAURENNNN
What they called a "jump suit" I have always called coveralls or if it is in worn to fly military aircraft it is known as a flight suit.
Christina is getting gorgeous but Lauren is cute.
This 4 combo so wow! I love them all together ✨
Since about the year 2000 in some parts of Australia no one ever wears or owns a raincoat, they just get wet if it happens to rain. Too much bother to deal with a coat for the rain. If it rains stay inside or travel by car direct to the door. For some folk, it feels kind of weird to have a coat for rain. Its hard to explain.
I’m American. I heard Seattle is like that. But I’m guessing people like this don’t straighten their hair and don’t wear clothes that take a long time to dry. Walking around in wet clothes all day isn’t ideal.
"Mac" comes from Charles Macintosh, who patented a kind of waterproof fabric in 1823.
And "coat" the noun came before "coat" the verb, by many centuries!
Hey! Lauren's back :-)
In india we say both 'color' and 'colour'. You dont get corrected if u write any of these, but i prefer 'colour' it just seems right..its because of the British influence on india..😂and also when i was a kid i was taught 'colour' and not 'color' so i think that is the reason.. 😀
Thumb up for digging deeper this time! 👍
The "jumpsuit " is actually called coveralls. Usually mechanics or workers wear these.
Yes, agreed. Jumpsuit would be something more for style rather than for working in.
Good episode. I’m American and have never heard of a waist coast.
Overalls in the USA aren’t just for children. A lot of my family members were farmers and the men wore denim overalls every day while working. If these ladies only associate them with kids they probably have never spent time in a rural area. Also we Americans call the skirt version of overalls a jumper which in the UK means sweater.
Also I think what we call those shops depends on where the proceeds go. If it’s run by a non profit organization that helps poor people then we call it a thrift shop.
The jumpsuit probably got its name in the USA from the military. I primarily associate them with military pilots/air crewmen because they wear this and these are the type of people who might have to jump out of airplanes.
Welcome to the new ladies from the UK and USA.
Consignment stores also means second hand shop.
@@CrimsonStigmata Consignment means the owner of the item is agreeing to let the owner of the shop sell their stuff in exchange for a percentage of sales. I have done this with some formal dresses I no longer wanted. However after some dresses didn’t sell after so long in the store I went and retrieved them because they still belonged to me. However a second hand shop owner might be used things the owner bought outright and wouldn’t owe anyone any money if it sells.
Interesting, what you describe as a "jumper", ie a skirt with a bib, that would be called a pinafore here in Australia, and I believe the UK also.
I've definitely heard waistcoat before. But usually just at the men's shop when I'm buying a suit. So maybe its not something women generally get exposed to in the US unless they're shopping for a suit for their husband or something.
@@stellamortis4088 I have heard pinafore before but I thought it was more like an “apron” dress over another dress. Whereas a jumper isn’t worn over a dress. But I found this in Wikipedia
Pinafores may be worn as a decorative garment and as a protective apron. A related term is pinafore dress (known as a jumper in American English), i.e. a sleeveless dress intended to be worn over a top or blouse.
Omg i'm happy that Lauren is back 💙💙💙💙
It was fun as always😁😁💚💚
Hi! I found why they´re called Macs! The Mackintosh or raincoat (abbreviated as mac) is a form of waterproof raincoat, first sold in 1824, made of rubberised fabric. The Mackintosh is named after its Scottish inventor Charles Macintosh, although many writers added a letter k. The variant spelling of "Mackintosh" is now standard. Google as all the answers!
In Canada white jeans are called dungarees
In the U.S. we also have the term galoshes for waterproof boots. I thought that mac was short for mackintosh for the yellow waterproof jacket. The Apple Macintosh is named after the green Macintosh type of apples, used in cooking. I thought that the waistcoat was a tailoring term because formal coats were long, and waistcoats were cut at the waist. Whereas vests were in a 3 piece suit and are a thinner inner garment under the jacket, and sleeveless padded jackets became vests. Jumpsuit came from parachuting jumpsuits (as in the all over suit that you wear for jumping out of an airplane) from WWII, later popular with celebrities and in fashion.
But macintosh apples are red
In the US🇺🇸
Jumpsuit = pants
Romper = shorts
I’m a southern American and I say, Overalls, rain jacket, button-up, thrift store, tank top, vest, rain boots, rain coat, coveralls.
im from the us I say all the same apart from a thrift store we say charity shop or good will I think it really does depend where you come from in the UK but most of them I did disagree with I was like huh
You might hear dungarees in the southern US. It’s more old fashioned though and is probably not common knowledge to know what it is
The Mackintosh raincoat was invented by Charles Macintosh (some people wrote it with a k and it stuck) while the Apple Macintosh computer is named after the.. apple cultivar McIntosh, from its discoverer John McIntosh.
Wellingtons have been called Gum boots
I still call rain boots "galoshes", and, rain coat is a "slicker".
Platinum Blonde really suits Lauren
I have heard dungarees refer to jeans. And I am from the US
I heard coveralls called a jumpsuit, coveralls make more sense to me. It maybe a gender thing, but yeah, heard people call a vest a waist coat or under coat.
Toronto Canada - my personal answers
- Overalls
- Windbreaker
- Dress shirt
- Thrift shop/store
- Tank top (specifically spaghetti strapped)
- Vest
- Rain boots
- Rain Coat
- Jumpsuit or Jumper
