Never knew it was just horse riding in England
Ok but america is still way better lol
So true, you can see this everywhere in the US. They have to be literally told what to do or they don't get it.
Sidewalk and pavement aren't the same thing in America.
Then sitting in the corner glancing over is the Australian accent, hiding the fact that our accent isn’t even an accent at this point…it’s another fucking language
There's also "breakfast cereal", so basically specifying what part of the day a cereal is consumed ?? Also "service elevators"? Just call them elevators lmaooo ?
Americans understand English. But not all English SLANG. And the reverse is also true.
Now quit posting shite clickbait.
So what's the difference between garbage and trash?
Americans think they are smartest people in the world…but actually they are smartest dumb people i've ever seen…ex..Donald Trump..from hornyman to wwe to president…what's going on america?
The worst comedian on tv
I want to know what part of America this guy went to where he heard someone call a trash can a "waste paper basket". That sounds way too specific. He must be talking about a recycling bin.
Honestly..as an american..none of this is true lol. We throw garbage in the trash. We say glasses. Horseback riding is true I guess…unless you're on a ranch..then you're just going to go riding.
Isnt trashcan the american word for bin ?
There is a reason why there is 1.6 THOUSAND down votes and it's not an American thing.
Good English!
Why the fuck is the default subtitle in norwegian?!?
This angered me.
stop
My teacher played this in class
We call it a trash can
Waste paper basket nobody in America has ever said that
Don't forget bicyclists
You drive on pavement and walk on the sidewalk.
– let's go horse riding
– sure, I love horses
* a few moments later
– Jesus christ Jennifer ! What are you doing in bed with that horse?!
– I'm "riding" it like you suggested
I hadn't heard of this guy before. He's funny, but a little bit of a wanker. A little too sarcastic at Americans.
the stupidest thing I've ever heard about english . he is 100% wrong because english is germanic language and germanic languages tend to use this way of word derivation for example "sidewalk" both syllables are germanic.same thing in german language "bürgersteig" = bürger"citizens" +steig"steep track" . and one more thing pavement is not english word it is borrowed from french
AMERICA EXPLAIN
Indicator = blinker
“Waste paper baskets “ is an OLD term used way back in the day which is why the younger Americans say they never heard of the word . We call em garbage cans , bud …. and what wrong with horseback riding ?? ?We also have “bareback riding “. Which could mean anything – you would laugh if we called it bare back horse back riding …
you people crack me up for sure … ? love it !!
Americans speak American. English is a Second Language to them.
Xin được nói tiếng Việt vì sợ nói tiếng Anh người Mỹ không hiểu?????
I’ve never heard anyone say “Waste paper basket”
I think this may be a regional thing, but for me, pavement and a sidewalk are different things, I have never said eyeglasses in my life, and I have only called it horseback riding when I'm making fun of people. (I raise, breed, and sell horses with my family. I'm not being a jerk to everyone, just people who are too fancy.)
British: Aubergine, Car Indicators
American: Egg Plant, Blinkers
??
I’ve never said nor heard someone say “waste paper basket” ???
I’m American.
Funny thing is not even the English speak proper English. Nobody does because there is no such thing as proper English. Brits today wouldn’t be able to hold down a conversation with a Brit from the 1700s. There is something called Standard English however and it’s really defined by the standards of today. Nobody speaks “proper English”. They write in a manner decided by scholars as acceptable to meet today’s standard in communicating. But in 300 more years from now those future people will have as much trouble understanding us as we would have understanding someone from 1700.
