Which of these are you most likely to put on toast, beans, marmalade, pâté?
Oh, my God, how fancy are we getting here?
Strawberry jam, Marmite, butter, peanut butter, nothing.
Who puts nothing on toast?
That person is not British or American.
Hey, guys, welcome back to the Girl Gone London channel. If you're new here,
my name is Kalyn. I forgot my intro for a second.
I'm an American.
I've lived in England for almost 10 years now.
And today I am taking BuzzFeed quizzes
that promise to tell me if I'm British or American.
OK, so a lot of you comment at certain
times like, oh, you actually sounded really British
in that video with your manner or the way you said things.
And also some people are like,
you've lived here for 10 years and you do not seem British whatsoever.
So I thought I would turn to obviously the source of all truth on the Internet,
BuzzFeed quizzes to see what we can find and to see how I rank on these.
How British are you quizzes.
I have not prescreened these, so I have no idea what is about to happen.
But come along with me though.
This one says Americans, if you get 15 out of 15 on this weird
British terms quiz, you deserve dual citizenship.
God, I wish it were as easy as taking a BuzzFeed quiz to get British citizenship
because I have spent probably ten thousand pounds and multiple years to get there.
So let's see if I'm going to be ready.
OK, Americans call them French fries.
The British call them chips. True or false?
So far this is easy.
True Americans call it cotton candy.
The British call it candy floss.
Knew that one.
Americans call it a clothespin.
The British call it a nipper.
I've never heard that.
Oh, I feel like we're ready for false.
And also, I haven't heard anybody say that.
So
all is OK.
Yes, the British do have a different name for it.
They generally call it a clothes peg,
hence why I had never heard the term Nipper Honokaa.
Americans call it the hood.
The British call it the bonnet.
Yes, true.
Americans call it a pacifier.
The British call it a dummy.
Yes, true.
Americans call them flip flops, the British call them flats.
No, they don't.
False.
Yes, on ice cream, Americans call them sprinkles.
The British call them hundreds and hundreds and thousands.
Yeah, I think that's true.
But also, I feel like some people in the US say that.
But also, did they say Jimmys here or is that a US thing?
I think that's the other thing.
I'm going to go true to hundreds and thousands.
Correct.
Americans call them since the British call them Jez's.
No, I don't think so.
I mean false. Yes.
OK, cool.
Americans call it a Cookie.
The British call it a biscuit. That is true.
However, they might say like chocolate chip cookie.
But
I people get confused all the time because
I definitely I don't call things biscuits here because of Biscuit
to me is still the American version of a biscuit.
So that's lots of confusion.
But yes, they do call it a biscuit.
OK, Americans say counterclockwise.
The British say anticlockwise.
True.
Americans say someone goes to them.
The British say someone pulled a Henry the seventh.
No, they do not say that.
I wish they would, but that's false.
Americans say make out the British say snog.
If you've ever seen Harry Potter, you know this is true.
Americans ask someone with a phone for their number.
The British ask for their ring up.
Now, they do say ring to call someone,
but do they ask for a ring up?
No, no.
They they don't be confident.
OK, Americans call it a butter dish.
The British call it a cream crockery.
No, I learned in my video that a creme
crockery is a word for something else that I've forgotten now.
But it's not a butter dish.
Yes.
Oh, this is this is one hundred a fake British term.
Oh, that was cream Crockford. Just kidding.
OK. Americans might call someone a blank.
The British might call someone a git.
Yes, I have heard that.
Oh yes.
Americans 15 out of 15. Congrats.
You're an honorary Brit. Good show.
If you ask me, the queen should fly you
out to London and throw a parade in your name.
Great. Done.
I'm a British citizen.
Do we even need to go further?
OK, I feel confident.
Now let's see what happens next one.
This one is sorry Americans.
Only British people can correctly identify these ten pictures.
Oh, OK. Shots fired.
I'm ready.
Watch out Yank's you'll ok.
Can we just take a moment.
People get very mad at me still sometimes for saying the word Brit.
I'm still going to say Brit.
I have checked with the vast majority of people in my life that are British.
I have looked in British media and Brit is simply like short for a British person.
Maybe we could start seeing like I mean, how would you shoot an American?
I don't understand how it is offensive, but some people still find it offensive
and they say, how dare you say, Brit, how would you feel if I say Yank?
OK, first of all, though,
Americans don't self refer to themselves as Yanks, like in our media or TV shows,
you have an entire award ceremony called the Brits.
So that's confusing to me. Secondly,
I'm actually not offended when someone says Yanks, maybe other people are.
But I kind of just view it as like a weird term of endearment,
but not necessarily endearment, but like, I don't find it offensive.
So anyway, OK, watch out Yank's.
You'll have to use only the Queen's English to pass this test.
What is this.
Oh what.
OK, pavement.
What is this options. Sidewalk.
That is what Americans call it. Pavement.
That is what British people call it. Roadside burns.
That is what we should all call it. Motorway.
No, that's a highway pavement.
OK, so far so good. What is this?
Obviously a lift if I'm answering in the British terms, portal to Narnia.
Can't trick me with that one. What are these?
OK, this I thought this test was going to be hard.
So far, so good. These are called crisps in the UK.
What is this, a box. A Beefeater.
That's not a Beefeater mailbox. The Queen.
This is the queen.
OK, what is this, a post box. What is this?
OK, here we go. Here we go.
I think they call it like crosses and something here.
Yeah. OK, what is this tic tac toe.
That's what Americans call it.
Knots and crosses.
That's what's going to be my answer.
A quid and a quack. Oxford.
Yes, Oxford. Yes.
OK, knots and crosses.
Yes.
What is he putting into his.
Car petrol, got that one. What is this?
The answer is going to be a jumper.
What are these?
OK, codswallop.
I learned that my other video as well.
It's not even

Now, do I call them thumbtacks? I don't call them drawing pins,
but I think they call them drawing pins. OK, what is this?
Just delete.
OK,
they don't say cilantro here.
They say this is Gurinder.
Yes.
What is this aubergine boom.
Oh yes.
Bloody good job, Chappe.
Glad to see you have the correct grasp of the English language, ok.
I mean a little bit into themselves but I passed next one.
Are you actually more British or American?
Let's figure this out.
OK, I'm going to answer these like not I'm just getting to them as myself.
So here we're going to get an awful answer.
Which of these are you most likely to put on toast?
Beans. Marmalade, Pat.
Oh, my God. How fancy are we getting here?
Strawberry jam, Marmite, butter, peanut butter, nothing.
Who puts nothing on toast?
That person is not British or American.
I would probably put butter.
Which of these swear words do you use the most?
Oh my gosh. None of them.
None. I don't swear.
Like, gosh, OK.
Which version of the office is better. The UK version.
I'm sorry, I just the UK version.
I just, I don't get it because
I'm American and I don't necessarily always get that humor.
So US version, I think this is going to answer me as
American isn't if you receive your meal at the restaurant, but it's slightly cold.
What do you do,
you guys I just talked about this in my video of British things that I do,
which is to not say anything, and I just came up with that.
BuzzFeed agrees.
OK,what would I do?
What would I do now?
You receive OK if it's slightly cold.
Oh yeah.
I say nothing to the server but complain about it to everyone else.
That will be the full British answer.
I'm going to say I just keep quiet.
What was the last thing you drunk drink.
Drunk water.
Water.
How do you feel about the royal family. Love them.
Hate them somewhere in between.
Funnily enough, I bet you if you answered all of them, that would be the American
answer, because Americans love them way more than British people tend to.
Um, yeah.
I'm either indifferent or somewhere in between.
I mean, they're OK.
I'm going to go in different.
What's your go to topic for small talk?
Again, this was in my video about British things.
I do. I feel so scene right now.
What's your go to topic for small talk, weather weekend plans, sports news,
something else I just completely avoid small talk.
Yeah, weekend plans.
I tend to ask people a lot like, what are you up to this weekend?
Back when we saw people and weekends meant something.
Do you refrigerate your eggs?
We do both.
Yeah, but yes.
How much do you tip after receiving good service at a restaurant? This is a trick
question because which country am I in for this question?
How much do you tip off to?
OK, I'm going to go twenty percent because I mean, this isn't fair because I wouldn't
do the same in both countries, but I'm going to go twenty percent.
Have you ever actually said sorry to an inanimate inanimate object.
No.
You can only eat one meal for the rest of your life.
What do you choose. Roast dinner.
No fry up, no macaroni and cheese, possibly BLT.
Interesting, but no pizza, maybe chicken Caesar salad, no cheeseburger, spaghetti.
Balinese. We just say spaghetti, fish and chips.
OK, I mean
no one meal for the rest of my life.
Pizza and pizza. When does this end.
Where do you keep your washing machine again.
I know.
Like the answers of which one is British and which one is American.
OK, where do I want to keep my washing machine in a laundry room.
How are you feeling right now?
What in the world.
I am feeling
happy. That'll be the American one.
You got seventeen percent British and eighty three percent American.
There is no doubt about it.
You're definitely American.
OK, so I passed the British citizenship test but apparently I am a.
American, OK, moving on this,
would you rather test would reveal if you're British or American, OK,
would you rather never have coffee again or never have tea?
I don't drink either, so I never have coffee.
Would you rather complain to the waiter
about your crap food and have them give you something better or not face
the embarrassment of complaining and just eat your crap food?
Now they're just recycling questions. I don't like this one.
OK,
I'm ninety nine percent positive we can
guess if you're American or British based on this word test.
Guys, this isn't fun anymore because I know the differences.
So what do you want me to answer? OK.
All right.

OK, now I'm going to answer me again.
Pick a drink or orange juice.
Totally American from the go.
Which word best describes you?
OK, you guys can help me with this dramatic, funny, bubbly or sentimental.
I don't know, the only thing here that sounds remotely British is funny,

on here to describe me dramatic, funny, bubbly or sentimental?
None of them
are
funny.

Maybe that one
American your personality is more American.
You're an independent thinker and you
strongly believe in following what you're passionate about.
You're more of a leader than a follower, but you don't take things too seriously.
How did you get that from my love of pancakes?
OK, a couple more to go here.
If you're British, you'll have no problem acing this quiz.

But that's how I've always seen it done
when entering or exiting the London tube.

And we have one more quiz.
Tell us how you feel about these seven
things and we'll guess whether you are American or British.

Always top bunk, OK? I'd rather be hot or cold.
I'd rather be hot pickles.
Amazing or gross.
Amazing cats or cats.
Real cats, roast dinner or breker.
OK, I see where you're going with this.
I'm going burger ketchup or mayonnaise.
Do British people like mayonnaise more than American people or vice versa.
I'm going ketchup fiction or nonfiction.
I'm going to go nonfiction.
We got it right. American U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A.,
you're an American citizen and proud, you're bold as brass.
No one says that and don't get fazed by public speaking.
You like your meat's slow cooked.
I don't like meat. That's wrong.
And you prefer T of the iced variety. That is true.
I don't know how they picked that based
on top bunk or bottom bunk, but yeah, they got it right.
OK, ok.
So that was a very mixed
results of my British versus American quizes.
Comment below and let me know,
am I more British or am I more American based on my videos.
