“British lad tries Sulfur Hexaflouride for the first time”
Lol I thought something was making his voice bassy or slower or something
Dude just hit puberty! Congrats Lav!
At first, I thought it was a frequency issue, like if the audio from the camera and mic was recording at 48khz or higher, and poorly mixed into a 44khz audio frequency for the whole video. Not sure why the issue exists for sure but I thought it was digital and not a gas issue.
@@seanabsher5577 yeah something up with his mic, unless he did it on purpose
Omg I made almost the same comment! It literally sounds like he’s coming down from a few inhales!
Puberty hit this man again like a boomerang...
Yo his voice dropped like7 octaves
I know I'm not the only one who realised that fam
yeah i came straight to the comments lol
@Mr. Rich B.O.B DUDE THATS SO FUCKING FUNNY lmaooo
true
Lav Luka and Lost in the Pond is a bigger crossover event than Avengers: Infinity War
😂😂😂
You aren’t wrong lol
Just wait til I react to Lav reacting to Lost, from an American perspective on my new channel. 🤘🤣
Add the office blokes or kabir considers and the British reaction multiverse will be complete
Brits assemble!
In the US, some of us refer to a chest of drawers as a "dresser".
And in the South, we refer to it as a "Chester drawers."
Yup. I have always known it as a dresser.
IT _IS_ a dresser, no other name for me, but it does have drawers with clothes.
To me a dresser is wider than it is tall, and a chest of drawers is the opposite.
@@thecosplaycrafter8017 Your answer here is exactly 100% correct. That is the difference.
Thurston really grew up last night. That voice dropped! Congrats on the puberty buddy. That beard will be coming in any day now.
Love you buba!
Im so proud
@@generalgaming2019 ?
?
@@generalgaming2019 Oh I did. I know his audio screws up at times. I've been here for quite some time. I'm just taking the piss.
I noticed that. I'm confused now...did he get a better mic? .-.
@@angelaengle12 He's been having mic troubles on and off for some time now. It happens for some reason, then he fixes it and it's gone. He's trying to iron it out permanent like. He'll get there.
is it just me or does ur voice sound deeper? like a lot deeper?
its a audio mishap, check his community tab. its happened in old videos too
I think his setting were messed up since it does sound different.
Broken Mike I think
yea it sounded like it was underwater
I thought the same thing
>proud of self for guessing what Spring Cleaning means
>repeatedly says Spring comes after Fall
Winter being erased before our very eyes.
My parents had a TV remote in the 60's but back then they were called children.
Ya no kiddin' we were. Kitchen remote too
@@bob_._. They apparently made them back then because I saw an episode of Dennis the Menace where Mister Wilson got a new TV with a remote. It actually had a cable going to the TV though; it didn't use infrared like most remotes today.
😂😂
My dad built a TV in the very early 70s and it had a remote control (yeah he actually built it he was a geek it was a Heathkit). This remote control didn’t use infrared like modern ones do it used some kind of sonic system with a really high-pitched tones to change the channel make the volume go up and down etc. Well his easy chair developed a squeak which then change the channel every time you leave this chair back 😆 Of course the first time it happened he’s looking around to find a kid to blame for changing the channel on him but we were all sitting perfectly still and he finally figured out it was his chair.
Mine was called a little sister.
“Clicker” is an old term that my grandparents would use lol. They explained to me reason for this is because original remote controls made a clicking sound when you pushed the buttons.
And it was the sound that actually did the controlling. The TVs actually also responded to things like keys or a wrist full of bangle bracelets .
And they were attached to the TV by a cord.
My grandfather had one of those in the 1990's.
"Channel changer" is another one that I heard often while growing up.
They did click really loud... It's true! Sort of a metallic click. And if you lived outside of a city you had to have a taller antenna on the roof (no cable). In order to view various channels the antenna had to be turned from inside the house from an antenna directional device. That looked like a plastic, bakelite box with a dial on it of the various directions: N E S W etc... So, you had to know which direction the city with the station was to aim the antenna that way. Once you clicked the dial around to the desired location you'd hear "click, click, click..." slowly until it reached its "destination" and the signal came in clearly on the channel you'd changed it to on the "clicker." Lol! Real life folks! Nothing digital at all then. All analog.
Mainer here, yeah my grandparents and other older people said clicker too, not sure if it's a regional thing as much as a generational thing but I definitely haven't heard it for a while.
I definitely laughed out loud when Laurence mentioned Lav Luka in his video, and felt more than a little called out. Like, yeah, yeah. We all watch the same channels. Busted 😂
I don't know if you misspoke or it's somehow different in the UK, but Spring comes after Winter not Autumn.
The fact that George Washington left this comment is hilarious to me.
KING
@Daniel K. So you decided to be a smartass to try and fix lav's error?
Spring does come after autumn, several months after autumn... Of course by that logic, every season comes after the other. I just watched Thurston reacting to Lawrence watching Thurston reacting to Lawrence, so anything's possible.
@@chitlitlah Lav's entire point though was because there will be leaves on the floor. SO it doesn't make any sense to push for Lav thinking leaves fall on the floor then they are ignored all throughout winter then they are cleaned up in spring...
Spring Cleaning is cleaning in March/April. You get rid of all the dirty dust that is everywhere. Washing windows and curtains. Rearranging furniture. Open the windows. Getting rid of the stuffiness in all of the rooms. Getting rid of clothes, having garage sales.
I know the UK does not get winter but him thinking spring comes after Autumn was too funny to hear.
@@jo-nathan6154 the UK does not get winter?
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet Not the typical winter (ankle-foot of snow, ice, constant below freezing temperatures). FL, AZ, NM, HI do not fit my description of winter. I should have said winter weather instead.
@@jo-nathan6154 I’d say only 2/3 of AZ doesn’t fit winter but we got places like flagstaff and payson with large evergreen forests that’s basically the only place to ski here lol

“Spring is after autumn” -Lav Luka 2021
oh no i've had a stinker
I mean, he’s not technically wrong, and who wants to remember winter anyway.
@@lavluka6210 yeah. Winter > Spring > Sumner > Fall
Spring Cleaning is nice in areas with really heavy snows during winter. Sometimes you just get stuck inside, and clutter can build up, you have the windows closed and the heat on and the air just gets stale. So it's nice to open the windows during spring and just sweep, mop, tidy up, throw out or donate old clothes.
Oh that's why I've never really done it. I live in a freaking desert lol
That first day, when it gets above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and you open all the windows and breath the fresh air....
Then you close them again five minutes later because it's still too cold and you got ahead of yourself, so you wait for 60 degrees and try again.
@@rhoetusochten4211 40 degrees is my winter 😐
I live in Arizona lol
40-60 degrees with the occasional 30's or 70's is my winter in Southeast Texas. In summer it's 75-92. Currently it's April and its in the 50 and 60's bc of a cool front, some Aprils are cold, its not that crazy but it's usually 65-75
American bedroom: Closet, often a walk-in closet. Inside the room can be found a wardrobe/armoire, a tall chest of drawers (aka "bureau"), a shorter, longer bunch of a drawers topped with a mirror (aka "dresser"), nightstand(s) (which may or may not include a couple drawers)
Interesting, I've always considered "dresser" to be a synonym of wardrobe.
What I grew up with and still use is a dresser is a chest of drawers that is short, usually waist high. A tall boy is a chest of drawers that stands about head high.
Spring cleaning used to mean thoroughly cleaning everything from curtains to kitchen cupboards/drawers to carpets and rugs. It was done in the Spring because your house had been closed up tight all winter. Women used to do it all in a week or two before they started working outside the home. Now, it's pretty much just a saying. For example, I started spring cleaning in January and I might finish by August. ☺
I always thought of Spring Cleaning as doing a thorough cleaning when the weather gets warmer, and you could open all the windows and doors to air out the house when you’re dusting, vacuuming & reorganizing in general.
At 8:47 I'm surprised he didn't mention that many people in the US call that a "Range", especially since it's an oven combined with a stovetop cooker, which is what the term is specifically used to define
I've always thought of the top part as the stove, and the lower part as the oven, like 2 appliances in 1 unit.
When Lawrence name-checked Lav Luka I experienced the most surreal 2 seconds of my life
we call it a clicker in the northeast too. it's because the original remotes made an actual clicking noise when you pressed the buttons
I am literally “spring cleaning” as I binge watch your videos.
Spring cleaning is when we deep clean our houses. When the weather gets warmer, we clean the entire house, declutter, take things to goodwill and rearrange the furniture.
Or have a yard sale.
damn Thurston hit puberty HARD
Check the comunity tab
@@generalgaming2019 ya bro i know its just audio shit. happened in his vids like 6-8 months ago too lol
LOVE how he included you in your video! I love this random community of Brits reacting to differences in America 😆 This is so wholesome. Also we do spring cleaning because we’ve been cooped up all winter and want to prepare our home for spring. Organizing our “closets” donating clothes, deep cleaning all books and crannys, doing yard word and house maintenance.
The third hole is typically the ground. Basically it's a safety measure. Also, I'm so happy for your cameo!!! I hope you two get to meet one day.
I was hoping you'd do this one! Congratulations for being featured in Lost in the Pond! Time for a collab now!
“Sweeper” in super regional. I’m American and I was like 45 the first time I heard someone call a vacuum a “sweeper” and she was from Indiana.
That is true, I’ve lived in Indiana my whole life and we say sweeper and also “warsh” instead of wash
I'm from ohio and say it so I'm pretty close to there
I’m from PA and I’ve called the vacuum a sweeper.
I laughed hard when I saw my two favorite youtubers reacting to each other.
Silverware can refer to actual Sterling silver cutlery, silver plated cutlery, or shiny stainless steel cutlery. The latter or matte stainless steel cutlery may be called flatware. We may also use the term utensil or utensils for any type of cutlery.
13:25 I’m sure someone has already mentioned that we also call them armoires, but wasn’t gonna go thru all of the comments to look tho. The ones that are shorter and longer (often with a mirror attached) are dressers, where armoires/chest of drawers sit up taller & more narrow.
Yes, the dresser is the wife's and the chest of drawers were the husband's. The kids had dressers regardless of size
In U.S. I believe many people would say their wardrobe is their entire clothing collection.
I get what you’re saying about not wanting to take away from his channel, but honestly if anything I think you’re just widening his reach. You are probably introducing new people to his channel, which in the end benefits him.
And his viewers connect with you.
After a long hard winter of tracking snow and sand inside the house, it's finally time to open up the windows when spring hits. With that, comes deep cleaning areas that didn't need to be knowing that the next day it would be back to the same. You wait until spring to that....spring cleaning.
Omg a collab!
Puberty came in like those tweets did: overnight and with lots of emphasis
His balls dropped for a second time. Happens to the best of men clearly.
It’s called a “clicker” because when the first remote controls came out in the 1950’s they made a “clicking” sound. Hence the word “clicker”.
yup, spring is definitely after fall
The outlets have evolved over time. Plain two prong ones were first. Then the ones that added the ground. Then the polarized ones where one of the flat prongs is slightly wider than the other so a polarized plug will only fit one way. And then the ones with integrated ground fault interrupter being required in bath and kitchen areas.
spring follows winter which is pretty harsh in a large portion of the US. Especially in the largely farning or upper plains states, the house gets exposed to a lot of muck carried into the home. Spring cleaning being an older term now, this involved a lot of scrubbing of floors and such. Because winter isn't always cold, the 2nd greatest enemy (the 1st in some more areas not as far north) is mud because the grasses and such are dead. The home needed special cleaning after winter.
sometimes in my house, the remote is just referred to as "the thingy" but context matters. I've never heard of a vacuum being referred to as a sweeper, but we do have manual devices with sweeper in the name. Carpet sweeper. Swiffer Sweeper.
You were featured when you had the hair clip on -- LOL!
Remote controls were called clickers at one time because the activated the television features by sound, and the buttons would make audible clicking sounds.
Spring is still Spring, even in America. Fall is Autumn 🍂 in America because that's when leaves fall off the trees 🌳 and bushes. I hope that clears things up.
Silverware is also often called "utensils". Probably the word that's used the most where I'm from.
I really just want Lav to travel to the US and meet Lawrence in person and both of them having a grand time in the US
I’m originally from Pennsylvania and I call a vacuum cleaner a sweeper. Yes, I call sweeping up the floor with a broom sweeping too. I call closets cupboards too - they are interchangeable. I call the basement the cellar. Now that I’ve been living in Colorado for a long time I’m starting to call those things: Vacuum cleaner, closets and basements. I still like the old time words from Pennsylvania though.
I grew up in New Hampshire and back in the 1970s we called remote controls "clickers" because when you pressed the buttons they went ka-CHUNK like a loud click!
I was looking to see if anyone else had mentioned a clicker. I remember how loud it was. Also when we turned off the tv, it had that unmistakable electronic click sound and took a few minutes for the tube to cool down and all the light would leave. Or the national anthem being played at the end of the day before the channel went off for the night.
@@Isaree1102 Yes I remember that as well! My how times have changed :)
So growing up in Michigan....my parents who were older and born in the 1940's called a TV Remote a "clicker". It comes from the 1950's-1960's-1970's when remotes had VERY few options and they had buttons that would not just push but lock down making a loud "CLICK" or sound with each channel change thus "clicker". Also watched Lost In The Pond's video yesterday and was waiting all day to see your reaction to his reaction 🤣
Spring is after winter. Not autumn :)
Edit: why do I do this? If I had read the comments I'd have seen everyone else say the same thing. Ha
It doesn’t really snow in England so I can see how it’s over looked lol
I was so happy when first I saw that you were reacting to Lost in the Pond videos. I'm glad that he's cool with it and even giving you shout-outs.
Spring cleaning is basically a reason to thoroughly clean your house in preparation for summer.
Traditionally it was observed for religious reasons and it fell during Lent, usually right before Good Friday, which is in the spring. The Jewish faith also practices cleaning for Passover, which is almost the same week.
@@msdarby515 never knew that, interesting!
As an American the Hoover joke almost made me spit out my drink. Also in the southeast we call the faucet a spigot (spig-get) or spicket. Love your videos man. Much love from the states.
That's awesome that you made it onto Lost in the Pond! WTG!💯💯 Sometimes I call the remote control a channel changer but most of the time just a remote.
Edit: My son came home as a teenager and asked me what a chest of drawers was. He had never heard this before. I think some of us oldsters have heard, or used that
Congratulations on the LITP mention!!
Oh, and the remote is called a "clicker" because the early ones made a clicky noise when you pressed the buttons!
My grandma called it a clicker.
In the 1970s.
I call it a controller.
In NY I call it a clicker, but mostly remote. Our first televisions with remotes made a clicking sound when you pressed the buttons.
hearing how low that voice is compared to what I'm used to Made me check my vitals lmao or my mary jane was laced either way trippy
Lol “spring is after autumn”. Awwwwww ❤️
My boy Luka really forgot winter comes after autumn or fall. Lol
Back in the day, TV remotes had VERY few functions a made a "clicking" sound, so many people called them 'clickers.'
The clicking was how they worked. Little metal bars tuned to different resonant frequencies. The TVs detected the sound. Rattling keys could sometimes trigger changes too.
Damn, what’s with that Buffalo Bill voice? “It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.”
The term "clicker" for a remote control: older TV's that had a knob to change the channel manually. When they invented the remote, the mechanism that changed the channel on the set was still manually based but now changed channels by sending a signal. There was still an audible "click" even if you changed the channel remotely. Hence you hear people calling out, "Hey, where's the clickAH?!" As if the device in your hand was causing the clicking sound, which sort of did.
The most common word for a chest of drawers in my experience (born in California, lived on the West Coast all my life) is dresser. When I was a kid, a family moved in from New Jersey who called it a bureau, and I was all ??? but everyone else I know calls it a dresser.
Drawers are what you pull out. The actual item is a chest or a dresser. Those are usually about waist high or slightly more. A bureau is similar furniture, but not in a bedroom. An armoire is a really tall dresser, what the Brits might call a tallboy (some might even call the lower dressers as lowboys). If there's a big piece in the middle that opens up with doors, it's often just simplified and the entire thing is called a cabinet.
I'm sure Lawrence is right that many Americans just call the whole thing drawers. But I bet it's both regional and perhaps to some degree a subculture thing. I had one set of grandparents who I seem to recall using that phrase. But the other set, and my parents, used the various other terms I gave above.
@@Wiley_Coyote And a tall dresser or chest of drawers is also referred to as a highboy. I always thought the dresser was the lower piece of furniture that frequently has mirrors attached, and the bureau or chest of drawers is taller with 5 or 6 drawers. Of course, if you're southern or from Appalachia, the chest of drawers is also called a chester drawers. :D
@@Wiley_Coyote I'm pretty sure it varies regionally. My friends (and their parents, so it wasn't just a kid thing) definitely called the chest of drawers in the bedroom, regardless of its height, a bureau. I've never heard the whole piece of furniture called just "drawers," but I'm sure there are some people who call it that. I never heard the word "armoire" until I was an adult.
There is no, "This is A and that is B, period" here. Different people call them different things, and not just between the US and UK, but between different regions of the US, and probably different regions of the UK. That's the whole point of these videos. :)
Remote is a clicker here in SC, cutlery would be ‘utensils’ and a hob is a ‘burner’. Outside of this vid content, we call the very back of a station wagon or SUV, the ‘way back’.Love your vids:) This one was super meta!
HA Love the pitchshifting lol!
Carpet sweeper is a non electric device for cleaning carpets which has been replaced by vacuum cleaners. So for older people who used a sweeper more than likely will call a vacuum a sweeper.
Our boy is famous! I did a semester at the Univ of London decades ago. I went into something similar to what we call a '5 and 10' and asked where they kept the silverware. The lady looked at me like I was nuts, "We don't sell silver here."
Clicker is from back when they origionally were made with mechanical strikers that made a sound with a ultrasonic tuning fork type device, they made a clicking sound to humans
And people could spoof the tv by rattling keys on a keychain at it.
Fun fact, that’s not actually an official definition of the word “inception”, but it’s a reference to the movie Inception that became pretty ubiquitous among millennials/gen z.
The wall outlet that takes 3-prong plugs is a polarized outlet. It provides grounding for the top prong and reduces the chance of getting shocked.
Puberty
The extension cord Lawrence is holding up is a single outlet extension cord - we have multiple outlet extension cords as well (usually no more than 3 outlets for very long ones) and then we have surge protectors - those are the bar types with 4+ outlets on a bar, with a kill switch on the bar. They're not often very long though, because on average, the outlets per room in the US are close enough together (I have four in my room, one on each wall, and it's not an overly large room - I have very little floor space with a queen sized bed in here) that longer surge protectors aren't needed so much
I've never called them a chest of drawers or drawers. I've always just called it a dresser.
For me, usually dresser, but occasionally just chest. Never the full "chest of drawers".
Of course we also had bureaus (that's drawered furniture outside of a bedroom) and armoires (the Brits call them tallboys, I believe--they're literally just taller dressers, but I guess could be called cabinets if they also have doors on them).
The “Inception” thing where there’s a smaller thing inside a smaller thing to infinity is called recursion.
Also, Lawrence mentions lots of differences between British and American words that really aren’t different, or are just plain wrong. There are also minor differences he doesn’t quite get, like we don’t just call tea towels “dish towels,” we have both and there is a difference (tea towels are thinner), or a sweeper isn’t a different term for a vacuum, it’s a specific kind of vacuum which is very light and works mostly on bare floors as an electric broom. Etc. Just FYI!
Never clicked so fast haha was waiting for your reaction
Electrical outlets are shaped the way they are to prevent electrical shock. The wide and narrow blades are polarized with the hot wire being on one and the neutral being on the other. In older devices like tube radios you could plug them in either way as the slots were the same size on both plug and outlet. Thing is, a lot of cheaper radios had what was called a "hot chassis" meaning that if you came into contact with the chassis while it was plugged in you had a 50/50 chance of receiving a decent electric shock depending on which way the plug was plugged in. A polarized socket makes sure that it's always plugged in the correct way so that you don't receive a shock by coming into contact with the chassis the electronics are mounted on. The third rounded prong is a dedicated ground or as you Brits say, earth wire, and is typically used on larger devices that pull more amperage than say, a radio or a table lamp.
You grew by 5 years overnight
8:33 Clicker is a throwback term to the late 60s when TV remotes were big and had clicky switches inside them. Those were mostly gone by the 70s.
COLLAB!!! lets go we got them together
Early remote controls had a cord, and was an analog switch that changed the 3 channels. They made a clicking sound, hence the "clicker."
Like the new voice.
Some of the earliest remotes did click.. they used a 'tunning fork' to produce a tone the tv reacted to.
Voice sounds like one of those voice changers to make someone’s voice anonymous lol
Edit: also as a note, my dad and grandmother called the TV remote the “flipper”
I’ve never heard a vacuum be called a sweeper.
Spring cleaning is great! Especially if you experience 7 months of actual winter. You spend so much time cooped up in your house, come spring people do a deep clean and get rid of things we don’t need. Many cities actually accommodate this too. In my city during spring cleanup week, people can put pretty much anything on the curb: furniture, tree limbs, large electronics, and garbage collectors will take it. This is generally only acceptable during this week. Most of the time garbage collectors won’t take large items. If they do, you have to pay extra for it.
Most people here call a chest of drawers a dresser.
Not sure if J. Edgar Hoover joke was about Hoover being a bad person who spied on his enemies or his secret lifestyle 🤔🤔.
About the plug socket, what we call wall outlets or receptacles . . . the reason the slots are two different sizes is for safety. The wire with the voltage on it is attached to the small slot and the neutral is attached to the larger slot, that way if someone, a child for instance, tries to insert something metallic into the receptacle, it is more likely to fit in the larger (non dangerous) slot, than the smaller one. The third slot (the round one) is for the ground wire, which some appliances require to function both properly and safely.
damn your voice got super low all of a sudden. cant tell if you just hit puberty or if it's like a distort in the audio
its audio mixing issues lol he put a community announcement up
happened before in the past if you used to watch him back in the day
@@AndrewL209 oh ok thanks, yeah the more I watched the video it was kinda obvious that it was an audio problem
In a "traditional bedroom" the dresser (with the mirror) is the wife's and the chest of drawers are the husband's
KY is Kentucky (simply pronounced ken-tucky). Can you do a portion of a video guessing US State's Postal abbreviations? Then you can try to describe how the Royal Mail assigns post codes.
Spring cleaning is done in the Spring after WINTER. It is thorough cleaning of the entire house usually including windows and Garage.
If you are enclosed for a long winter Spring Cleaning is where you clean EVERYTHING. Dusting shelves/cabinets, ceiling fans, garages, basements, closets, EVERYTHING.
It's called a clicker because one of the earliest wireless TV remotes, the Zenith Space Commander, used soundwaves to change the channel. When you clicked a button, a spring loaded pin would strike an aluminum rod, making an audible "click" sound while also making a sound humans cant perceive. The TV listened for these ultrasonic sounds, and changed the channel when it heard one.
In my experience growing up on the California, spring cleaning referred to a super thorough cleaning of everything. This included getting rid of stuff you didn't want anymore. Once a year the garbage company allowed you put anything on the curb and they would come pick it upfor free. For one week everyone piled all kinds of stuff outside and people would come by in their trucks and look through it. If they saw anything interesting they would take it. At the end of the week the garbage truck would show up and pick up everything. I don't know if that still goes on anymore but I kinda miss it lol
Back in the 70's when tv remotes were new, each button had a pretty strong spring under it and a mechanical action to make things happen - that had a actual strong click with each press. They often were 70's brown- and-cream plastic.
Spring cleaning is the spring seasonal cleaning after a house has been shut up all winter. It is called the same thing in the US & UK. Plugs even on AC do have a phase. So that some devices (very few in fact) stay in phase throughout the house, they have a larger prong on one side. It is a bit of a pain in the butt, however there is a reason for them.
Spring cleaning is cleaning up the house after a long cold winter of sitting around dirtying up the house and not cleaning as much... The third hole in the socket is for a "ground" for more powerful appliances; smaller electrical things don't need a ground. Wash cloth, face cloth, or rag. Driving me nuts man, you need to AutoKMS your MS Windows lol
In case someone hasn't posted why it's called a clicker instead of a remote here's why:
The first remote controls for televisions were a rectangular plastic and metallic box. I believe they were created by Zenith in the late 1950s or early 1960s. They could control on/off, volume and channel selection. When you pushed the button on the remote control down the mechanical spring inside it actuated with a popping or clicking sound to pop the button back up. Hence the term 'clicker'!!
My grandparents had one of these old Zenith black and white TVs in a spare bedroom & when I was a young kid in the 1970s and I remember exactly the sound the remote control -clicker- made.
I'm from the Great Lakes area - not quite the midwest but close enough - and growing up, my weekend chores always included "running the sweeper". And my grandma called the remote the "clicker".
This is hilarious. You killed me about the spring cleaning.
Down south, we call a faucet or spigot, a spicket. We call a wash cloth, a wash rag. We call the carts at grocery stores, buggies. We in America, also call the toilet, commodes, the shitter and the porcelain throne. The portable toilets, called porta-potties, we call Johnny on the spot because it's a brand name. Just like adhesive bandages, we call Band-Aids, like the name brand and Q-tips that ya'll call cotton buds. And for some reason, I call the remote control, a flicker, the same word I use for those grill/candle lighters. To me, a cupboard is a small closet for foods, but if it's actually a small room, like a walk-in closet, I call it a pantry.
I love these videos. 😂
Spring cleaning the air warms up and you feel energetic so you clean the house more detailed than typical cleaning..cleaning out closets, wash curtains and such. Your mic is great. I often don't watch your videos simply cause I can't hear
