Isn't it like a Marsh area? That's what we would say, right? I'm like,
what am I think he's the wrong thing? What is it? It's a toilet.
I work. She feeling discouraged.
Kind of like, no.
Hey, guy.
Welcome back to the girl about London Channel.
If you're new here. My name is Kalyn.
I'm an American who's lived in the UK for almost ten years.
This is my best friend, Emily,
who is American and grew up on the same street as me in Florida.
I'm home visiting my family and friends,
but we are going to test Emily's knowledge of some British things.
And so I feel like this video is gonna be
even been more fun than the video of me testing myself simply because my husband's
British and I'm around his British family a lot.
So I know a lot of them.
It's just impossible to not learn a lot
of them over the years, but I'm not entirely sure how many Emily will know.
So I feel like we're getting the genuine
American reaction to what these things are.
But I feel like you will know some you've seen down Navy, right?
Yeah, that's on my guy.
Let's start out with some easy ones. Okay.
I say easy, but we'll see what happens. Okay.
So what would it mean if you told someone that you fancy them?
You like them? Yes.
So it means I have a crush on you.
I like, fancy you.
Okay, next one.
What would it mean if someone said you're
smartly dressed or you look smart, like you're fashionable?
I really like your outfit.
Like, you look really put together.
Yeah, being dressed well, but I feel like we don't use smart here
to mean that you can only get it from contact clues.
Right? Right.
Because if someone told me that I looked
smart in America, I would think it was, like, intelligent.
Yeah. So I'm trying to think a bit chopped.
I'm a bit.
I want to say, like,
feeling discouraged.
Kind of like a no.
Chopped is a word to use when describing how a static you are about something.
Oh, to point the opposite, I'm well, chopped, because to me, it sounds like.
Kind of like an.
And it felt to me, like shape, like you were chased.
That's what I was to be like, like dead skin is.
I just want to beat this morning. Okay.
Do you know how long the fortnight is?
Isn't that, like, two weeks? Yeah.
Okay. But we don't use that here, right?
No, I can never remember what we use where.
But, yes, two weeks. That's what they say.
People think you're weird.
If you did that, you would just say two weeks.
I'll see you in two weeks.
Yeah, not a fortnight.
That Shakespeare in the park. Too much.
Okay.
What about got it, Guy?
I mean, that's worth like, you feel let down or like, oh, I've got it.
I can't go. Something staff has happened to you.
Okay. What does it mean to Nick?
I
don't want to give you too many Queens, because then I feel like.
But do you know, like, what if you said, like,
she nicked that,
or are you going to Nick this?
Like, cut that idea.
Like saying don't go with it.
No, it means to steal or to.
Okay.
You're thinking Nick probably true.
Yeah, probably Nick something is to steal something.
You know what a brawl is?
An umbrella. Yes.
Ding, Ding, Ding.
Okay, next one.
If someone says they're having a chinwag, what does that mean?
They're having a grand old time.
Doing what?
Chatting with someone?
Yeah, they're having a having a chat.
Okay.
Okay, here's a good one.
What does the word gobby mean?
And, like, you could say he's so Gabby.
I
want to say like, he's so over the top.
I only have the defined definition because
I'm not entirely sure on this, but I've heard it a couple of times,
but it says it's used to describe a mouthy and rude person.
I feel like it would be over the top side.
No
guy thinks that Americans use a word
obnoxious to mean something different than British people use for the word obnoxious.
So that's gonna be my video.
My question for this video is British people.
Comment below.
If someone says that's obnoxious, what would you think is happening?
Because I feel like we use it.
If something is, like, over the top, like,
annoying or really hyperactive, you're being obnoxious.
But the guy says that we use it in, like, like, things can be obnoxious.
Like a loud alarm going on is not just.
Noxious, someone who's doing something that you don't like could be obnoxious,
but he seems to think that we're using it in a different way.
I'm sure we so comment below. British people.
Okay, next one.
Quid.
Isn't that something with money?
Yeah. Yeah.
Do you know what it means?
Like, Bucks?
$20? Yeah.
20 is playing for pound. Okay.
Do you know what plaster means to be plastered?
I mean, I know in America means to be drunk.
Let me the same thing as you do that. There we go.
Perfect. Do you know what a stag night is?
Yes. It's like a Bachelor party.
Yes. Ding, Ding, Ding.
Basically British
bite.
Oh, I've heard it, but I don't know.
Blitman.
Like,
like, happy it's.
In other words, for Britain,
do you know what a pram is?
Isn't that a stroller? Yes.
Okay. What about
if someone is minted?
I
always wanted to say they're excited.
They're excited about how much money they have because it means that they're.
They're wealthy. Okay,
let's do a few more. I feel like you're doing pretty good.
It could go downhill really quickly, though.
Okay. What does it mean to like it to like it.
It's to leg space, it to walk it to.
We'll just walk the rest of the way. Kind of.
It needs to run somewhere you liked it.
If we're I'm behind in an airport, I would be like, we need to like it.
I'd be like, stop talking right after. Okay.
Do you know what Bob means in the UK?
Probably not like to be.
It's like a thing. Oh, it's a thing.
Yeah. The bog
isn't it like a Marsh area.
That's what we would say, right?
I'm like, what am I think he's the wrong thing?
What is it? It's a toilet.
That harsh.
So they say, like, Bob's roll. What?
Yeah. So, in fact, I'll say, like, Lou roll.
Bog roll. Instead of saying toilet paper.
Toilet roll, they actually say roll for everything.
That's weird. They don't have to say toilet paper.
Also, paper towels.
You say paper towels.
They say
kitchen towel.
That feels wrong.
Because what if you use the paper towels somewhere Besides the clean the living
room, then it is not the kitchen or the toilet.
Sorry. Okay.
Last one.
I think you'll know this one. Okay.
Do you know what pants means to me? Okay.
Yes. Doesn't it mean underwear?
Yes. She knows it.
She's not gonna make that mistake the next time she comes to visit.
Oh, my gosh. I think you did pretty good.
I think so, too.
I think you did better than the average American.
Thank you. It's the downtown Navy.
It's the Donna seeing you and I did my videos where I do it.
Good job. Thank you.
Okay. Wow.
Thanks very much for joining us.
Don't forget to leave your comments on what you mean by the term obnoxious so
we can figure out in British and American people say it differently.
And I'll see you guys next time.
