Which word sounded the most interesting to you? 😆 어떤 단어가 가장 신기했었나요? 😆
Mozzie🤩🤩
skeeter😂😂🇺🇲🇺🇲
I miss Walter isn't he going be your video anymore ?
Spigot. Literally never heard of anything like it. It’s *extraodinary*
DFO 🤔🤔
You should have people talk only in their country’s slang, and have the other people try to guess what they are saying.
That wouldn't be fair to John-- everybody knows US slang 😅😅😅
And they should have someone Cockney in that episode, speaking in rhyming slang just to confuse everyone lol
That would be such a good idea
@@myusikah true in US the slangs is very popular and used all over the world
@@lyx7 Yeah! Yet there are regional slang words that are less mainstream and aren't used outside of their region.
I live in the US and we sometimes also call a pacifier a binky
yes we used binky and paci
I saw that on Sesame Street. I thought it was a word they invented for the show
Outside of tailer parks it's called a pacifier.
@@spelcheak lmaooo
I knew some kids who called theirs "pipe" lol
We also call bathers “cozzies” or “swimmers” here in Australia. We also commonly use the word “PowerPoint” for the outlet.
KanazzleDazzle we call it a cozzie in Liverpool too. The Liverpool dialect shortens many words similar to you guys in Oz - this afternoon to this avvy; off-licence to offie; football to footie etc. Many people in the U.K. A lot of Oz’s British and Irish ancestors probably left the British Isles by ship from Liverpool.
Yeah I havent heard anyone call them bathers in Sydney Australia unless you over the age of 60. And yes no one here calls them outlets either they are always powerpoints.
Yes power point!
We call them cozzies in england too, im not sure if thats just in manchester or other places too.
I don't hear "cozzies" too often in WA except from people from the eastern states, so I think it's more of a regional thing? "Bathers" is way more commonly used where I am. Oh- and I've heard "board shorts" shortened to "boardies" occassionally.
Her Melbourne is showing. For "Bathers" it's a very regional thing. For example in Sydney we use "swimmers" and as mentioned "togs" is common in Queensland
8bitplay Yes! Always say togs in Queensland
we say bathers in wa, but we know the other ones as well
I'm from Melbourne and we say bathers and boardies :) It's very much a regional thing.
Togs in qld!!
Oh that makes so much sense was confused to why she was saying bathers never heard that in my life but it’s because she is from Melbourne
Its good to see Australian Bella! Its been a while ☺️
I don't trust Australians 😂😂 ...by the way what's your official lang 😂😂 ....
In Australia Board shorts are called Boardies.
and then theres also cossies
Better than budgie smugglers 🤣
I've never called swimsuits bathers in my life. Cossies rarely. In my neck of the woods, it's togs. I think even though Australians by and large sound the same to everyone, we do have regional dialects, they're just not super obvious because it comes less down to accent and more down to colloquialisms and some unique phrasing, so it's not always noticeable unless you're talking about a topic that the regional quirks apply to.
@@icequeen9 Such as Swimmers, apparently.
togs mate
I swear you just have like a whole stash of Australian people. It’s always the same American and English person but there are so many Australians 😂
Australia is the closest Anglophone country to South Korea.
And a lot of South Koreans come to Australia for higher education, or they did.
Ha ha ha! Yea I totally didn't notice that but so true!
Ramboost007 yeah I live in Australia
It’s so weird because I’m china I hardly ever met Australians but there’s like so many in Korea
Australian here. We call swim suits "togs" and "swimmers" where I'm from in queensland
Eliana Fritz aye we got a Queenslander here
I think it's a regional thing. Here in Western Australia, I'd never call them "togs", I call them "bathers". I've also heard them called "swimmers".
I think it varies from state to state, and as people move interstate they bring their term with them (I had queenslander friends who called them "togs").
Something to understand is that, much like the US, accents and vocabulary can vary from state to state.
NSW here, swimmers and togs as well! Although surpised that there was no mention of budgie smugglers!
Sydneysider here, quite surprised she went with Bathers, although its used, pretty much everyone here uses Swimmers and maybe togs if you wanna be ocker.
Also the power-socket one. Again its used but I and everyone I know call the 'powerpoints' dunno whether is a NSW thing?
But maybe Bella is from Melbourne or WA cos some of her Aussie words sound a bit dif from NSW talk.
Cossies? As in “Get ya Cossies on, were goin’ for a swim”.
I love how in Australia it’s always like ‘We *just* call it ___’ 😂😂 we love the casualness ❤️
I'm waiting for the day when the response is, "In Australia, we just call it 'thing'. Like, 'hey, pass me the thing, please'. Sometimes we might say 'thingy' instead."
IceMetalPunk people often know what you mean when you say that 😂
I went to Australia many, many years ago. There was a government advert on TV which asked people to check their rego docos. That was the bloody government! Rego docos. Also, they just cut Neighbours up into 4 pieces and put adverts in, even when it was mid-scene. Madness.
@@Kjfletcher1985 It was clearly effective advertising if you remember it.
@@IceMetalPunk yes i always say thingy
Enjoyed the comparisons. Noticed that at the end all of you wave typically like Koreans. Suggestion on comparing how people from the various countries greet and wave goodbye.
I told my friends to do the Korean-style waving 😂 Thanks for your suggestion!
From where I’m from in Canada we say soother
6:17 I live in America the midwest, I use socket, plug-in and outlet.
Canadian here! we call a pacifier a "soother". On a funny note we had a one of those little red Henry vacuums at one of my old workplaces, we referred to it as simply Henry. If you couldn't find the vacuum we would call on the staff radio channel asking if anyone had seen Henry or knew where Henry was as if it was a member of staff.
As a Canadian I've heard soother, but I usually heat binky tbh and I was shocked no one brought it up lol
From Saskatchewan we only call them soothers. Rarely anything else unless making a pun with online friends. He def needs a Canadian in here as though we have many similar words we also have our own unique words!
I'm form the Caribbean we call I soother as well.
Ooh, I really like soother for a pacifier. 😊
Same, soother
Extras in Australia:
- swimming costume or swimmers for bathers - I think this is a Sydney/Melbourne difference
- power point for power outlet;
- old Australian homes have two separate taps, new the single, but there's an in-between for say 1950s to 1980s of 2 tap handles but a single outlet, so the blended temperature comes out of the outlet. And the outlet and the tap handles are all just called taps :-).
The reason for separate taps is old houses typically had hot water tanks that where the water was not safe to drink but the cold water came direct from being treated and was safe to drink.
Another reason is it just wasn't the norm to wash hands with the flowing water. In the old days you filled the basin with warm water from the separate taps and washed your hands, face etc directly in the basin.
6:46 I ALMOST DIED SHE FORGOT MY CHILDHOOD "POWER-POINT"
IKR
Bella's from Melbourne and in melb everyone calls them powerpoints. How could she!!!
You call power outlets powerpoints?
@@eva.6987 Yes, it's the point from which you get power, a power point.
Sky blue fair enough lol. In America we only say powerpoint as in Microsoft powerpoint
Austrailian bella's attempt at a southern accent is hilarious lol
I was born in Queensland and bathers are called “Toggs” in that state. Thought that was certainly the case when the family left for Western Australia in 1971 where they are called bathers.
It’s really Good to see Bella again !
Australia - Swimmers, togs! (BATHING SUIT), power point for outlet, with 2 taps you would fill the sink (im guessing to preserve water) back in the olden days.
How has John not heard "swimsuit?"
He has. I think the stress of all the watchers got to him and he blanked on the term. Lol
@Evan Moyer I think homeschoolers have swimsuits. I've never studied them, tho.
Thinking the same thing! Haha!
I love this trio...... Sam, John and Bella together.
"Hoover is a vacuum cleaner company founded in Ohio in the US. It also established a major base in the United Kingdom; and, mostly in the 20th century, it dominated the electric vacuum cleaner industry, to the point where the Hoover brand name became synonymous with vacuum cleaners and vacuuming in the United Kingdom and Ireland." (Wikipedia)
We are an Electrolux family.
What a great video on English from different countries. As a Canadian English teacher, I’m very surprised by the number of words in this video that I have never heard of, for instance, hoover lol I’m sure many viewers will find this video rather entertaining as well as educational 🙌💯📚🍿
Thanks for watching! 😆
KoreanBilly's English my pleasure 🙌
Even here in South Africa, we use the word 'hoover'
I didn't feel that the British man really encapsulated British language. We do not call dummies pacifiers, for example. And we vacuum the floors.
Most people in the UK still call it a hoover even though most of them aren't actually made by Hoover. We also say hoovered, hoovering, going to hoover, etc.
I always thought is was a “Power Point”? 🤷🏽♀️
Where she got socket is anyone's guess 🤷♂️. Maybe Bella is speaking from a regional local saying. I have always known this as power point.
PowerPoint is a Microsoft Office program lol. Just kidding ya.
I call the male side the plug, the female/wall part the socket/outlet. I'm from Missouri
@@slantblant1 It's plug in the UK.
Sati exactly. It’s just lazy speaking that people have picked up. Like when people interchange itch and scratch. You have an itch, you scratch the itch. You don’t say “I have to itch my leg”
When he said that he has 'heard' of it being called a swim suit I was actually kinda shocked because where I can from in the U.S. we really only call it a swim suit although some people will say either.
I also think that oatmeal and porridge are suddenly things like how the UK it is more liquid, I would consider porridge to be the more liquid base and oatmeal to be the more out base.
Right?
This is such an outstanding channel I ever watch on Yt. Totally help us enrich many vocabularies. Thank you so much you guys, English speakers, across the world.
American John always does a fantastic job representing US words. Way to go John, 👍🏼!
I mean except for The Faucet and spigot thing
David Robinson it’s “spicket” which is apparently not a word. Never heard it called anything other than spicket or faucet.
Not from this Pacific Northwest standpoint.
He was right on the faucet thing where I'm at. Inside it's faucet and where your connect the hose outside we call spigot
When John was talking about drinking tap water etc I was low key waiting for Bella to come out and say you drink out of a bubbler (Australia)
So I'm from Milwaukee and it legit threw me when I first heard that Australians say bubbler, because we've always been so proud of it as our particular regionalism 😂
what is a bubbler? im aussie btw
@@SarahElisabethJoyal Never knew that some Australians say bubbler. I might just ask my uncle if he does.
@@georgia2156 it's the thing you drink out of like at school or the park, you push the button and water comes out.
(I live in China right now and nobody can believe that such a device even exists 😂)
I’m Australian and I thought bubbler was an American term
In Australia swimming wear is different depending on where you live. In QLD we say "togs", others say "bathers" and others say "swimmers"
I believe Tom Scott actually did a video about why the UK has separate taps for hot and cold, basically it had to do with the fact that cold water was hooked into a master system but hot water was kept in tanks in most attics. Since the cleanliness of the tanks wasn't guaranteed, the two taps had to be separate to prevent contamination.
yay! bella is back!!!!! she’s so pretty love the hair
I like how the Australian is always changing
Us Australians do say "hoover" as well, both as a noun and a verb, but "vacuum" as the noun is more common. We also call bathers, "swimmers", "a cozzie" (short for swimming costume), "boardies" (short for board shorts) and "togs" ... it depends on the family. The common name in Australia for an electricity outlet is a "power point", I was surprised this wasn't mentioned.
It's always a good time with you guys 😊
Great explanations 👍💕
We call mosquitoes “Skeeters” in Minnesota as well. Not just a “down south thing...”
I live in Texas and I had never heard that term before cx
Momo in Mesquite, a suburb of Dallas, the original high school, Mesquite HS, their mascot is the Skeeters. Quite funny.
Yeah I was shooting for the hip on that answer haha! But yeah, I had two friends from Minnesota and they both said skeeter, I don't know what I was thinking!
i live in Michigan and i heard skeeters as well. i agree it's not a "down south" thing.
@@lifeofjohn3993 I'm from Alabama and sometimes we say skeeters.
Here is what I as an American use:
1: Vacuum cleaner/vacuum
2: Swimsuit, trunks, bikini
3: Oatmeal
4: Power outlet/outlet/socket
5: Never used that word for some reason
6: Mosquito
7: Sink/faucet
Her Top reminds me of Shinee's album cover
She is a huge Shinee fan!
@@lifeofjohn3993 Right on 😉
Thanks for another video, please keep doing these we love them
thank you guyz so much, this is so interesting, useful and educational
Togs are also used in Ireland as well to refer to speedos as well as swimwear. And I can't believe the Brit and Aussie chick didn't say cossie. 👙🇦🇺
Australian swimwear words (to my knowledge)-
Swimmers, Bathers, Togs, Cossie.
One of the few pieces of linguistics that varies significantly by region in Australia. Queenslanders tend to say Togs. In NSW they tend to say either Cossie or Swimmers. Victoria, SA, WA and Tasmania all tend to use Bathers.
I love this series its very knowledgeable I had not known many things that I know now
Thanks for the video 💕
Can't wait for the next one ☺️
I always referred to a pacifier as a binky when my kids were babies. I'm in the western US.
otter im from the midwest united states and i hear “nookie” a lot. funny how different regions have different variations of words!
I love all your videos, so entertaining! I also love Bella's shirt! 🇺🇸❤
Very thoughtful and informative video. thanks👍✌
항상 명쾌하고 재밌는 설명 감사 드립니다! Very interesting!
I have heard and used around 4 words to describe swimming gear in Australia:
- Swimmers
- Togs
- Bathers/bathing suit
- Cozzies
The words are generally regional but all can be heard in a general area.
In my profession (marketing) words like hoover are called a generic name, where an extremely popular brand name becomes a widely used (household) name for a whole category of products e.g. coke, aspirin, thermos, jacuzzi, zamboni, kleenex, velcro etc
Awesome one
Love you guys... Keep rocking
In Australia 🇦🇺 board shorts get shortened too boardies and a sun safe rash vest is a rashy. Power point is what I call the “socket”
As someone on my 40s in the UK I think some of the words that we “know but don’t use” are because of USA tv & movies. They are not part of our daily usage but we grew up hearing them.
Billy is becoming healthier 👍
What I call them in Canada:
1. Vacuum, shop vac, or central vac depending on the type of vacuum.
2. Swimsuit
3. Oatmeal ("hot cereal" is also sometimes used to refer to oatmeal, cornmeal, etc.)
4. Wall outlet, power outlet, or sometimes just outlet. (The term "socket" is used to refer to the hole that a lightbulb is screwed into, which can be confusing when someone from Britain uses it. "Plug" refers to the part at the end of the cord, or the verb of "plugging something in.")
5. Soother
6. Mosquito, skeeter, or GAAH THESE F***ING THINGS ARE EVERYWHERE!!!
7. Tap, or faucet. (A "spigot" is what you put in a maple tree to get sap for making syrup. I've also only ever seen separate hot and cold taps once in my life.)
Aussie BELLA! finally , lovely to see you mate!
In Australia we also call the socket, a power point
"some of them can be up to 400 years"
*House older than the country*
do you think people just appeared here from space the moment the US was founded? lol
K P spawned in as the british loaded the new chunks
Tq so much. I have seen all the videos...I have learnt 👍
Hi greetings from America! I really love your videos!
Would love to see some Canadian representation sometime!
I'm from Australia, I think togs is common in qld when talking about swimwear. Alctually when I moved from Brisbane to Melbourne I realised there are a lot of interstate differences. I think my Kiwi(New Zealand) half of the family calls it a cozzie (short for swimming costume). I also call it a power point, power socket sounds strange
Interesting because swimming costume is the usual term in the UK, at least for women/girls.
Love you guys' videos!!
I love your videos so much and are so useful and useful!!!👍👍👍
I'm from South Africa and here oats and porridge are two different things 🤔
Porridge is smooth and can be made from maize (corn) flour, millet flour or sorghum.
Oats are chunky and are made from oats which are a different grain to corn. 🤷🏾♀️
Here's to embracing all our differences 🖤✨
The first comment ever!
Bella is so pretty OMG...
As a Canadian we use oatmeal and poridge boil the oats in water then once its soaked in the water usually mix it with milk and brown sugar. With the pacifier I believe it could also be a soother? To soothe a baby?
Hello neighbor!!! Oh that sounds like what Sam was saying too ha ha! I personally never saw milk added after the cooking process, but it sounds so good!
John is very Californian. A lot of his English is "standard American" English, but it's important to note that the U.S. has a very regionalized language. If you speak to someone from a different region you'll get entirely different answers for a lot of these questions and how they should be pronounced.
Also, a pacifier could be called a "Paci" (pronounced pass-ee), or a binki. "skeeters" is used, but it's very back-woods. Faucets can also be called taps, and outlets can also be called socket, but usually it's a preceded by a verb (i.e. put the plug in the socket).
지역에 때른 영어단어 차이 알아보는게 진짜 재미있어요 ㅎㅎ 코리안 빌리 ㅎ하이팅 입니다 ^^
American here: we say tap and socket too...very common all over the U.S.
I thought tap wasn't used anywhere in the USA. I'm British so we do say tap and never faucet, although most people know that Americans use faucet.
@@ajs41 floridian here I use both interchangeably
When the Aussie called a power point a socket 😣 and swimming costumes (cozzies) bathers! You have misrepresented us! 😂
Here in Malaysia, we use almost all the words mentioned, except the hoover lol. And funny that I've seen bathrooms and kitchen sinks here with two faucets before but they both spew out normal tap water, not heated or anything. Good to see Bella again, love the shirt~!
"The male" got me
Referring to different types of products as "male" and "female" is pretty common in America. I've seen it used for a bong & it's bowl, cabels & outlets, pieces of hardware, etc. Obvs the hole is the "female" piece and the object being inserted is the "male" piece.
@@MusicallyObsessedBoi yeah, it's a term that started in engineering, i believe
Mickey Crisp it’s not just american, it’s everywhere.
Correct - male/female is standard in electronics and other engineering
what's funny about that? it's pretty common in engineering lol
We only say faucet where I'm from in America
I have been all over america and the distinction I hear is you call it a tap when you are going to use the water gor something. Say cooking or cleaning. But if you are washing your hands or dishes in the sink you call it a faucet.
I learned something. I thought tap was universal for all the English speaking countries.
Agreed, Americans have faucets indoors AND out. A "spigot" would be found specifically on a large container of drinking water or other beverage. This could include a wine barrel or beer keg, but often it would then be referred to as a tap because you must first tap it into the keg/barrel. Also, older homes do indeed have separate hot and cold faucets (sometimes called taps, especially when getting drinking/cooking water from them as mentioned) -- to get the right temp for face washing, etc. you have to plug the sink and fill it like a small bathtub.
I love you guys together.
I missed Bella so much. Please stay. ;-; I got so excited when I saw this video.
Great video. I think it depends what part of Australia you live in, will determine what you call swimwear. From my experience, when I lived in NSW, they were called swimmers, whereas in QLD, it’s togs.
In saying that, male swimsuits are also called ‘budgie smugglers’.
Budgie smugglers is sometimes used in the UK, usually in a jokey way.
said this in one of your other videos but you do need a person from NZ too. we know all the uk and aus sayings but we have our own.
I only watch these videos to see Australian Bella. :))
I got excited when I saw a whole bunch of new videos. I was quite disappointed that Bella wasn't in them.
I love videos like this where english countries come together and share their way to sa vocabularies.
When they said “Hoover” I thought of the Hoover dam... I grew up in the US and majored in history soooooo
Ngl you don't need to grow up in the US and major in history to know the Hoover Dam
I'm American and a lot of people in southern Ohio say "sweeper" for vacuum
Can confirm. Southern Virginia
I agree with John on the dual faucets, but wanted to add that I just moved into a house (built 1911) and it has the two faucets in one of my bathrooms. It is in the upper Midwest.
I like when the British guy is over there . I'm learning British words . Thanks ☺️
If you visit Derbyshire in the UK, people say "duck" as a way of greeting each other.
@@ajs41 so funny!! thanks about that :)
I love watching this type of video so I can practice my English while I’m trying to get some words in Korean, cuz I’m learning
And also try to “get” an Aussie accent !!!
8:27 Where i am from in England we call them midges, or gnats.
Americans have midges or gnats, but they are much smaller than mosquitos and less likely to bite/sting (and if they do the resulting welt is not nearly as big).
In Australia, we also use "swimmers", "cossies" or "Swimming trunks". "Budgie Smugglers", "Speedos", "Bikini", "Wetsuit" are more specific types.
"Porridge" made from rice is usually called "Congee" - actual porridge is always made with Oats.
"Powerpoint" for the socket, and "Powerboard" for the multi-socket adapter.
Most fixtures have a separate cold and hot tap with a common spout. But we changed all our hot and cold taps to a "mixer" tap with a lever - fixed the dripping problems as well.
Their discussions are alawz fun...
Please more videosss 🇺🇸🇰🇷🇬🇧🇳🇿💜
cherrycat banana that last flag is the flag of new zealand
When I was growing up in Aus we always called swimmers Togs...😅
With my family in the UK in the 1980s/1990s, it was swimming trunks for men/boys and swimming costumes for women/girls. But that was when most men/boys wore trunks rather than the more baggy shorts that most people wear today. I tried asking for "swimming trunks" in a shop recently and they were confused, and had to change it to "swim shorts" in order for them to know what I was talking about.
I’m Aussie and it depends where you’re from. Togs, swimmers & bathers are used up and down the east coast. It’s like how Queenslanders call a backpack a port. In Melbourne we’d be confused 🤷🏼♀️
yes, John, it is skeeters in the South and some parts of the Midwest ^^
I'm an Aussie and I say "power point", not "socket". I can't be the only one!
It's plug in England. (Can't watch the video at the moment because of technical problems).
Power point? Like when you make a presentation?
Fun fact: South Africans use a mix of American, British and Australian terminology. Mainly British and Australian though.
The strangest one from SA is robot for traffic light.
Very interesting as an Irish person to learn how distinct our own vocabulary can be after watching these videos, would love to see an Irish person on this channel sometime!
I second this thought. If you can find one. That's the hardest part about Irish: finding them :P
You should definitely do New Zealand! 😁
Pacifier? Suddenly I’m confused why I’ve called them “binkies” my whole life 🤯 I’m American btw....
I've seen a lot of people say binkey for this, but when I was young a binkey was a blanket... Maybe I sucked on my blanket when I was a kid..... haha
Apparently binky is more used in Canada, I’m also from the US and I always have called them binkies. It’s also a trademarked brand of pacifiers.
I'm American and I've never heard binky before haha.
@@jakefoster5611 Binky is most common here (FL)tho I call them pacies, are you perhaps from the north?
@@Slushiii6804 Well I'm from Georgia but I've always called it a pacifier. I guess it depends.
Bella has changed from last videos ...she looks so beautiful
Thanks team .
전 개인적으로 이렇게 네분 모였을때 케미가 좋은것 같아요. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
