The tv license only applies to live television I believe, or at least that’s it’s main aspect. We don’t have to pay just to watch television really. The tv license is also becoming obsolete due to the rise in streaming services!
I’m in the UK. My daughters will more often ask me to buy cookies than biscuits. I also would call a jacket potato a baked potato. So some of the words are interchangeable in the UK.
We do have cookies we just differentiate them from biscuits because we have so many versions and textured types and most don’t come with a filling or added flavours such as choc chips as a cookie would. Biscuits are national to us as they were really popular snacks in the war and would last a long time and had a good expectation date. Each county has a significant type/flavour such as short bread.. or custard creams etc ❤
Yes we say full stop at the end of things! I associate the word period only with the time of the month I have to be honest… and cookies are cookies- chocolate chip biscuits. There are hundreds of types of biscuits but a cookie is just a type
Awesome video, you’ve got a lot of us Brits as fans!!🇬🇧 10:01 ‘lawyer’ is an umbrella term in England and Wales to describe those legally qualified professionals who represent clients. The term is generally broken out into barristers, who represent their clients in court; and solicitors who perform most of their work outside of court (though some solicitors gain rights of advocacy to be able to represent their clients in court for lower level matters) 👍🏼
Im from the North West Uk n i always love seeing americans reactions to british things lol, great video! 💜, also in the Uk Guy Fawkes Day is more known as Bonfire night or bonny night haha
Great video, thank you. I use virtually all the British words you mentioned. I liked the way this highlighted our language quirks!! Got 17/20 on the quiz - shocking!!
this is crazy bc im british and knew all the american ones but it’s baffling that americans dont know this stuff??? wild. a lot of this stuff i never even knew was an english thing also, on the period thing, we don’t use full stop as slang, but u could say “you’re not going to that party, full stop.” to mean like thats the end of it the same way u would in america
My blobby is such a throwback I was once in a town called Walsall and they had a guy dress up as him for a Santa’s grotto in a shopping centre on my way home me and my father saw mr blobby smoke a rather strong joint 😂
for the period one, we say "full stop" when meaning thats the end to it. Like, "lemonade is the best drink. Full stop". But some people, especially the younger generations, say "period!" to agree to somthing xx
We do say ‘full stop!’ instead of ‘period!’ as well. I love it when you go… ‘why?’ about the jacket potato - cos it’s got a jacket on?! I don’t really know 😂
The “Union Jack” is really called the “Union Flag”. It should only be called a “Jack” if it is being flown from a ship…..but people always know it as the “Union Jack”. :-)
9:12 i used to live by coopers hill and i used to go to the primary school by it. it got realy competitive when the guys would run after the cheese and almost all of them would get injured . but that didnt stop them from doing the exact same thing the year after🤣.
As a Brit, this was delightful 😂 Have to say, love your reactions to some of these! I can confirm, we call jacket potatoes 'jackets' because... they look like a potato wearing a jacket 😂 And yes, 'full stop' is sometimes used like how an american would sassily say 'period', but usually more to express anger or frustration, for example, "I've had enough of this! Full stop!" But I don't hear it a lot these days.
@Pamela ASMR when you said race down the hill for cheese it's an actual race they throw down cheese and you gotta go get it 😂 stupid and funny yes us Brits are crazy haha😂
Very interesting video for me as a non-native speaker of English; apparently I'm using a wild mixture of British and American Engish without being aware of which is which. Without thinking much, I'll say "truck" and "gas" instead of "lorry" and "petrol", but on the other hand I'll also say "lift" instead of "elevator" and "underground" instead of "subway".
@@pamelaasmr I'm from Germany, we kind of have the same situation with our language, where each of the countries where it's spoken has its own standard variant.
As a British person, this was great, only got one or two wrong somehow, and I believe jacket potato is a regional thing, I say baked potato and I’m a scouser or (scouzer as you would say 😂)
A lot of these words are interchangable. I'd use period in a more slang way when finishing a statement but nowhere else. Also fun fact the word soccer originally comes from England but we switched it to football and now no one can agree which is right (hint, they're both right lol). Also I do feel like British English is more interesting than American English when it comes to slang as we have really goofy words for stuff, like for example when refering to the police informally, we might call them the rozzers or the bobbies. Also, you can't beat gee whiz as an exclamation. You just can't. Edit: just searched it up and gee whiz is from North America. I really just played myself 😢
A lot of those words are very situational, pissed would normally mean annoyed here in the uk as well. And we use the same words are you but these are alternatives for example we still say thank you but every now and again we may say Ta. We also use the word cookie but it’s normally just for chocolate chip type biscuits.
As a British persom I cant even answer half of these they r so random and unknown to the point they aren't even relevant to britain anymore except the walkers crisps one that acceptable! Stan walkers crisps!!
![My personal story about living in England... and a question for you! [ASMR RAMBLE]](/img/n.gif)
As a British person, listening to you answer some of these was hilarious!😂loved this video!
Haha I’ve never been there 🤷🏻♀️
British gal here!! 10mins in and i don’t think im gonna sleep at 5:34am tonight because this is actually so entertaining. Thank you x
Haha I’m glad you like it!
Yes my British Folk! Our time has come! Countess Pamula has graced us with our own video
Haha 😂 I’ve given you a few of your own videos
@@pamelaasmr I must find them 😂

That makes sense
It’s not just live TV but it is to watch anything from the main terrestrial TV channels like BBC or ITV :)
Loved the Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling question..... I live about 10 minutes from the hill!
I’m in the UK. My daughters will more often ask me to buy cookies than biscuits. I also would call a jacket potato a baked potato. So some of the words are interchangeable in the UK.
Haha yeah I figured
True but a lot of it is Americanisation
@@baku2575 oh yeah 💯 it’s interesting isn’t it?

Yeah I’d argue that biscuits are hard and cookies are chewy
As a British person this is my favourite video of your’s so far 😂
Thank you!!

Thank you 😊
Took me back in time mentioning supersize Vs superskinny 😂
Haha I know right 😂
I’ve only gotten half way but you have pronounced everything right!
Ahh yay I’m glad!
I’m from England (though I’ve lived in Ireland since I was 8) and I got 60/75. Great video :)
Nice job!
Barristers are a type of Lawyer, litigators🤗 we still say Lawyer, but i'll let you off on that one.
luv ur voice and asmr!
Haha good to know. I didn’t make these questions 🤷🏻♀️
@@pamelaasmr lol
Also a lorry is only like a big 'truck' like 18 wheels that carry freight, not a 4 wheeled truck with like an open back (we call them trucks)
We just call them all trucks 😂
We have cookies but they are like a type of biscuit specifically chocolate chip cookies and things like that
Yes you do! I hope everyone enjoys our quirky ways via ASMR! 😂
Haha it was definitely interesting
Great video, thank you. I use virtually all the British words you mentioned. I liked the way this highlighted our language quirks!! Got 17/20 on the quiz - shocking!!
Haha thanks for watching!
Perfect way to send my self to sleep even better as a British person
I’m so glad!
Was a great video! Ta for that 😀
Thank you!

also, on the period thing, we don’t use full stop as slang, but u could say “you’re not going to that party, full stop.” to mean like thats the end of it the same way u would in america
They just aren’t words we ever use in America
Awesome vid. From Southwest UK. Sayings are very similar but America do simplify their wording a lot more for themselves 😂
Thanks for watching!
No way I said the words "Lord Sugar" into my phone because I've heard my mum watching The Apprentice.
My blobby is such a throwback I was once in a town called Walsall and they had a guy dress up as him for a Santa’s grotto in a shopping centre on my way home me and my father saw mr blobby smoke a rather strong joint 😂
😂😂

the way I so confidently said Austin Powers for the superspy question, James Bond didn't even cross my mind 😭💀
😂
Just listening to your intro as a Brit and I already know I’m gonna love it! 🇬🇧
‘Strictly’ is Dancing with the Stars in the US
The fact that Ant and Dec and Mr Blobby are in there is genius
We do say ‘full stop!’ instead of ‘period!’ as well. I love it when you go… ‘why?’ about the jacket potato - cos it’s got a jacket on?! I don’t really know 😂
Haha I love that!
This video made my day! Thank you so much 🙏🏻
The “Union Jack” is really called the “Union Flag”. It should only be called a “Jack” if it is being flown from a ship…..but people always know it as the “Union Jack”. :-)
I think there’s like 10 other comments saying that 😂
Number 15 we also call it bonfire night 😊
Omg I loved this so much, thanks Pamela:)
Thanks for watching!
Yes, we would say “join the back of the queue” most of the time. Line would sound american 😊
love ur videos we need more trivia!
Agreed
Thank you!!

A biscuit in America is similar to scones in the uk and we do have cookies they are normally bigger than biscuits and have chocolate chips in them :)
We have scones too though 😂
Love your videos pamela,you are such a lovable person love you so much always enjoy your videos
Thank you 😊
Yeah people called Prince Phillip ‘Phil the Greek’
Really? 😂
@@pamelaasmr yeah! 😂😂
really?, ive never heard anyone call him that lol

I’ve been living in England for most of my life and I only got like 10 questions correct
I always thought Walkers was known for making shortbread biscuits.
Is Scotland included in British things
No
Scottish geek
Scotland need appreciation yk
no cuz they keep trying to vote out of bloody britain
Scotland is apart of britain
Being drunk is also know as being 'shitfaced', legless or para 😅
Or sloshed 😂
A lorry is
an 18 wheeler
Although I'm not British, I'm sure this'll be interesting, happy Tuesday pamela.
It’s probably even more fun if you’re British!
Being English I loved this
I’m glad!

“It’s a British word that means something bad in English” - Pamela ASMR, 2023.

Hopefully I know these then
You are the best Pamela!
Thank you!

This is amazing ❤
Thank you!

i love you but every time i fall asleep to your videos i wake up to ads blasting 😭😭
I’m sorry I don’t turn them on
@@pamelaasmr it's okayy i still love you
you don't have to pay for a TV licence if you don't watch the BBC because the money paid for the license goes to funding the BBC!
I can tell you worked on this 😂
Its called jacket potato because the skin of the potato is like a jacket around the mash I think
That’s what someone else said. That’s just funny logic to me 😂
We don’t say full stop haha some say period but it always sounds weired to me to say it in my British accent
I’m from Scotland and don’t know half of these 😂
never would i have thought an american would say the city where i live ( coventry ) 😂
Australians know these as well.
Can you do a Disney trivia quiz please x
I have one! But I can do another
@@pamelaasmr yes please xx
I think I understand fantastical animals being national animals, more than having an animal that isn't even native to the country. 😅
That’s true 😂
A lot of those words are very situational, pissed would normally mean annoyed here in the uk as well. And we use the same words are you but these are alternatives for example we still say thank you but every now and again we may say Ta.

Sounds complicated 😂

Lol no one else seems to think that
"Whats that in english"
Me:🤨
Lol
I have a question, why sre you saying “the british word in english” like it is actual english from england im very confused 😂
I don’t know I mean American English. American English is just English to me
@@pamelaasmr Hahahah that’s fair 🤣
Hold on. You don’t say lorry???? Or petrol?!! 😂
No 😂
@@pamelaasmr i allways fought americans calling petroleum (a liquid) gas instead of petrol incredibly stuipid i wonder whats the history behind that
@@noname-zd1li to be fair, gas is short for gasoline which is not gas as in the state of matter
You said in your old video that you will make a separate video on India 🇮🇳

Thank you!!
@@pamelaasmr can we have your lovey cat in a vid soon maybe? X
Splendid work Maam.
Thank you!
I loved hearing you try to say these words. Hi from England 🏴
i like your content but is there any way you can do something more binaural/higher gain? 🫶🏽
The gain is pretty high I’m worried it would pick up too much other noise if I turned it up
