icing and frosting are actually different things. frosting is more fluffy & thick, and icing is more glaze-like & thinner (commonly). someone needed to settle this issue.
Olivia Elston preach 👏🏽
Not here (DC). Same exact thing
THANK YOU i never knew the difference
Lmao since when is icing thin and glaze like?? The fuck are you on icing is thicc lmao
Omg I thought the exact thing
Hold on Shrimp and Prawns are 2 different species, how does that work?
exactlyy
Your right
No they aren't
Ikr
@Teresa Dunne THEY ARE DIFFERENT! The biological anatomy of shrimps and prawns are different, they just look similar and are almost alike, but its like differentiating a dolphin with a porpoise.
What’s that?
American: zucchini

Cucumbers and zucchini are not the same.
@@janetbousho7625 yeah but they look the same
I've never seen a zucchini up close and I thought it was a cucumber too
@@Sarah-lr6vp I guess that would make sense if you have never seen a zucchini up close. A cucumber is more rounded and has a smoother surface.😊
@@janetbousho7625 ohh cool! How does it taste like?
@@Sarah-lr6vp I believe it is part of the squash family. At least it tastes similar to that of a yellow squash. You can also use it to make a very moist bread that tastes amazing.

Heh? It's a totally different veggie..
exactly XD
A cucumber is a longer courgette and they are different but okay
They are different.

i live in the UK n i have never heard anyone say “hundreds and thousands” to describe sprinkles
Same!!
British guy: "entrée and filet mignon are french words, you'll N E V E R hear it in the UK"
British guy also: "profiteroles, courgette, aubergine, ..."
Yeah. That made me chuckle, too.
Pretty sure he wasn't claiming there are no French words in use in Britain. Even if for no other reason than most of our words being French imports because they went and took over most of the place a thousand years ago.
nobody in my 13 years of living in the uk has ever referred to sprinkles as hundreds and thousands
@@-fv weird, because that's what they're called.
@@-fv and nobody, in my 37 years of being in England, has called Hundreds and Thousands "Sprinkles".
As an Australian, this was so confusing. It was a mix of everything 😂
BleachCookieHime yes I was dead confused, but not only that some we have our own
I’m from the US and I also used a mixture of words from both US and UK. For example, I say both tin foil and aluminum foil. I also say both skillet and frying pan🤷🏻♀️
I know right? They were saying cotton candy and candy floss. I was just sitting there blankly staring saying "it's fairy floss..."
I’m a New Zealander and same 😂
I knew people would reply saying they could relate but I didn’t think people from other countries would reply woah-
Who the heck says Skillet for Frying Pan?
Fushi Fushi As an amaerican, a skillet is a frying pan but with its own heating element attached on the bottom
I know I’m American I call that a frying pan
That particular picture is for a cast iron skillet in America. People who know the difference will call it a skillet.
I’m American and I call it a frying pan and so does all the Americans I know
For me it's a skillet because its cast iron, but if it's made of anything else it's a frying pan
No, I thinks she’s just strange, Americans also call them frying pans
She doesn't even sound American. She sounds very British at quite a few points.
Cast iron = skillet
Flimsy junk= frying pan
I guess so
i honestly ten to go by color and shape. dark=skillet and silver/copper=frying pan lol
Some things she said are a bit off but to be fair i didn't even know all of these sense I don't really cook and most of these are food related.
Me (American):
00:52 tea
00:58 leaves
1:24 sprinkles
*SERIOUSLY*
And I don’t even know what most of these things are just by the look, most of the pictures could be anything
Imani Maldonado I know right? And the girl sounds so British especially the way she said frOsting
Lmao they meant the stuff IN the tea and they meant what spice those leaves are
9909
9909
Imani Maldonado for tea it was what was on top
America: "Crock pot"
Britain: "Slow cooker"
Me: "Rice Cooker"
EDIT: JESUS I KNOW WHAT IT IS. I just said the first thing that came in my mind when I SAW it
But it's not a rice cooker as such
well it looks like one to me
iiPanda Playsxox me: a bomb
We don’t cook rice in their wtf lol
It is a slow cooker not a rice cooker
During part if this I’ve just been wondering, “are you sure this person is American?”
Mr. Biscuit ikr
They are not American
Maybe she's from a certain state

I am a baker and I can assure you that Icing and Frosting are two different things:
Frosting is usually used to layer and put around the cake,
Icing is usually used for the final layer of cake and decorating
Well those people have probably never been a baker.
Finally someone who knows 😂
Nope. It is not about professionals. It is for avarage people's english....
Yh but are you American? I am English and would never say frosting 😂
Andrew Lawrence thank you i thought they were two different things but I didn’t know how or why.
1:38 Hundreds & Thousands is a brand and I don’t know anyone who calls plain sprinkles Hundreds & Thousands 😂
Thank u.your the only person who noticed this, I award you 1person with common sense
Ikr
Yeah I'm in the UK and I say sprinkles
And I've never heard an American call a frying pan a "skillet"
We call them hundreds and thousands in my house although id use sprinkles as well
Uhm sorry but shrimps and prawns are different types of seafoods so basically, prawns and shrimps are the same in American and British
Yeah I was going to say...not even the same animal yo
In culinary shrimp and prawns can be used interchangeably even if they are distinct species.
Jeez in Australia we get offended when someone say "shrimp on the barbie"
Wait until you find out about yabbies which are distinct again
Prawns are just way bigger
Did this man really just flex his Arabic skills on people in a video about American/English accents?
Was waiting for some one to also to mention 🤭😂
did this man really steal a mans name
haha
Please reply to this Justin Y. since you comment on everything
Yes. And no one cared.
Ok who got this “American” person representing us, we know damn well she’s British
I was thinking the exact same thing
I was thinking the same things.....you read my mind.....
right? like, i’ve never heard anyone say skillet
Isobel Edmonds I hear it a bunch
@@isobeledmonds6018 Someone here might say skillet, but only for specifically the cast iron ones like in the picture. Every other material for a pan like that is just a frying pan. Michigan, checking in.
I'm British and we say sprinkles I have heard nobody say hundreds and thousands also this guy sounds so posh
I'm so surprised I have this much likes and replies thank you everyone!
Everyone may say sprinkles, but its still sold in shops as hundreds and thousands. Why? fuck knows... America does have us beat on that one.
Same! When I heard that British people apparently said hundreds and thousands for that I was like ...what!?!?! Really?? XD, I've never ever heard anyone say that before, I've only seen it on an ice cream stall in Regents Park in London and I was slightly confused, but that's it.
Hundreds and thousands are the small multicoloured spheres otherwise it's sprinkles
I-i say hundreds and thousands
I am British but I use the American words
I’m from the UK (Scotland ) and I have NEVER heard anyone say “hundreds and thousands “ I have always said sprinkle
Same
Same same
Sameeee
It might be an older or northern word? I definitely heard it a lot in my childhood but not so much lately.
Same, and I'm from the West Midlands. They are sprinkles.

That’s what I was like!
i still call it hundreds and thousands ive barely hear sprinkles
I know right!
A lot of those American and British terms are pretty interchangable in the US. Like skillet and frying pan
Ok im as American as anyone gets and rarely ever use skillet.... and i thought frying pans and skillets were different things lol..... skillet will stay a band in my mind not a frying pan
@@stalkersock Yeah, to me it its cast iron and deep, it's a skillet. Shallower and stainless, frying pan.
I thought skillets were wider and shallower (and anything in cast iron). I use frying pan when referring to a smaller one.
@@SHADOW1414 and if it's even bigger and deeper, it's a wok! 🤗
@@stalkersock I'd call the thing in the video a skillet before I call it a frying pan. It's a cast iron skillet. I'd lean towards frying pan if it was in the shape of those traditional non-stick or stainless steel pans.
him: so we would call this cider what would you call this?
her: hard cider
*me:* beer
The Caity Show isn’t it different from beer
I'm dead: cider is made from fermented apple juice while the main ingredient for beer is malted barley and other kinds of grains. Then a smaller percentage is made of alcohol. Average for both is 5% alcohol, cider being closer to 6%.

Some notes from another American:
* I would call it a frying pan, not a skillet, and they're two different things.
* That's powdered sugar. I've never even heard of confectioners' sugar.
* I use tin foil and aluminum foil interchangeably.
* We would say sparkling water, not seltzer.
I think seltzer/sparkling water depends on where in the country because I say seltzer usually but when I go to NJ or NY I say club soda
@@Rosey-op2bp then you are the highest form of dumb where ever you go then
Seltzer is commonly used in the Northeastern United States.
In my grandma's cookbook (50 years old at least) they call for confectioners sugar when baking. It just depends on how old fashion you go back.
right
american: oh obviously a rutabaga
British: we call them swedes
me: what the hell is that
Den Ukkonen Swede is my name but the u is replacing the w plus suede is a type of shoe
Den Ukkonen same I thought it was a sugar beet
Maybe it's another regional thing, I've always known them as such.
I didn't even know that either one was a word.
Den Ukkonen LMAO SAMMMEEE
Um, is it just me or the “American” girl doesn’t even sound American? 😂
The US is a very large country, and it's got a wide variety of accents to them. I've noticed that the accent seems to get thicker the further south you go, until it gets to the point where you simply cannot replicate the accent without sounding like you're trying to take the piss.
I went that way myself when I was around ten. It was probably due to binging on old RUclips let's plays and picking up the accent.
Sir Yeetus XIV well one thing for sure people here in the midwest don’t speak like that haha And I don’t think I have friends or ever been to places with that accent. Maybe I just haven’t visited the right place 😂
Lovin Anime “have never WENT” is so not British!!! 😏

Something about people saying "erbs" makes me irrationally angry

@@thegoodsis4351 oh shit. Bruh i didnt even notice 😂😂
I’m American and I say pan not skillet
Same
There are different English dialects within the United States. The only time I've ever heard someone use the phrase "skillet" would be on television. I just say "pan".
Juan Soto I only have heard it in commercials
I live in the United States we call it a skillet
It’s not a pan, it’s a skillet
Ok legit idk where the American chick is from but like you need one from each region of the us to make it actually realistic
Honestlyyyyyyyy
exactly cuz she’s saying shit i’ve never heard anyone say over here😂😂
She doesn’t even sound American like when she said “pot” in the beginning that’s not how a proper American pronounces “pot”
Not may people I know say "Skillet" It's just a pan..
The British stuff isn't right for the whole of Britain either, don't worry about it.

That’s not a difference in language. You’re just calling it the wrong thing. Beer has a meaning and hard cider isn’t beer.
i live in america and i think i've heard someone say "skillet" just once in my entire life. its a frying pan
Frying pan and skillet are def two different things but I feel you
Bruh same
Ironically I'm from the UK and we definitely call iron pans skillets. That one was bullcrap.
That was definitely a cast iron skillet. About 10 pounds. What Americans call frying pans are much lighter, are more rounded and have a Teflon non stick coating.

icing is frosting.
Yah
Am I the only who uses the American English for some words and British English for others?
Me lol. I say grilled cheese and other stuff
No, you’re not, and at least a few of these word differences were bs, a wardrobe is the correct term for a piece of furniture that you hang your clothes in, a closet is a little room for your clothes or space in a room, or a rack closset which is like a frame for clothes to be hung on.
Its very confusing If you learn english as a second language ...
for me it depends on what it is or if I haven't said it before
Should say the British words because it is the original after all
Britain say: tin foil
America say: aluminum foil
Me say: ITS JUST FRICKEN FOIL
Well, that's also a sword haha
I say Foil. Tin foil. Etc
EXACTLY!
I'm a strong believer in calling it by whatever material, so, aluminium foil.
I’m British and I’ve never heard anyone call sprinkles, Hundreds & Thousands
Same the only person I've heard saying that is my nan
No you have to be fully embraced in the British life to the point that you worship it and Americans do it al the time
Hundreds and thousands is a brand-
Old people say it
GachaGalaxyMD i’m british and i call them hundreds and thousands. that’s how i was mainly raised to say it.
I’ve never called Sprinkles “Hundreds and thousands” In my whole British Life

Same. I thought hundreds and thousands were tge name of a type of sprinkle
Probally because only posh English ppl say that because I'm British and I say sprinkles all the time
Cøøkie I’m Australian and it’s because it’s a certain type of sprinkle
I've just realised on one of my sprinkle filled cups in the kitchen, it actually says hundreds and thousands

Mistermason 16 we say pan or frying pan but we drop the frying part usually (California)
I only use the term skillet when referring to the heavy cast iron ones
I usually just say pan. I'm from Florida.
I think it’s more of a state thing. Most states say skillet down south. The US is just so big we develop our own accents.

Ok im joking

Evan same
I think it's a little more southern

Us: Hard cider
Uk: Cider
Me, a british: *A pint*
I to thought it was a pint of beer
Honestly, Americans can say either the “American” or “British” version of most of these. I pronounce herbs with the h, but my friend looked at me like I was crazy when saying herbal tea
OffcenteredSanity true dat
over here 'erbs means drugs i'm pretty sure
Me too
And I pronounce basil the american way
Saaaame
I've literally never heard another American pronounce herbs with an h in my entire life
Her: shrimp
Him: prawns
But shrimp and prawns are different animals
Virus s THANK YOU! I was thinking the same thing
what makes it different? Sorry, I'm not a native speaker so it's hard to understand
@@nhihai5258 I think prawns are bigger than shrimp
Shrimps are teeny tiny little things. You make potted shrimp with them, like a shrimp spread. Prawns are those big ones, really big ones are king Prawns.
I was wondering that aswell
ive heard americans say both variations of some of these words?? weird? i guess it depends on what state you live in.
I say both variations and I am british
Mostly because we watch a lot of media from both countries I would suggest.
I say sprinkles and I’m british

Very true for example in the South we say soda, up North people day coke to any type of soda ,and the West people say soda pop. Crazy right

Can: *PINEAPPLE SLICES*
Both of them: canned/ tinned fruit
2:56 wait... you're supposed to dilude it on water?
No wonder I disliked it so much when I tried it.
Can you explain what it exactly is?
@@nicolasjulian8213 It's like juice, but heavily concentrated, so it's way too sweet or bitter to be enjoyed like regular juice, so you dilude it on water to make it taste like normal juice. One of the advantages of having it like that is that you can regulate the intensity of the flavor with the amount of water you use
@@de_salle oh thanks :o
@@nicolasjulian8213 any time... and I have a question about your profile picture, I see it everywhere, where is it from?
leuke achtergronden voor jongens but is a very popular image you can find it as "cool images"
I like how he said « Americans tend to use the French words » (or smt similar) and later he says aubergine instead of eggplant. Eggplant is English and aubergine is French. Same with the zucchini.
RIGHT!
Zucchini is Italian
Vivian I. Yes the American said zucchini (which, I’m going off what you said, I’m guessing is italian) but the British guy said courgette which is French.
Well yes but remember you chose our language over German so don’t go hating on us
Epicgamergrandson 2007 I don’t understand what you mean? I wasn’t trying to hate on any culture. My first language is French. I am bilingual and live in the province of Quebec. No hate 💕 just curiosity
us: crock pot
uk: slow cooker
an asian kid who always cook rice: A RICE COOKER!!!!!!
toungetechnology yoongi
YOU GET MEEEEEEE
I say rice cooker
Do you use it for anything else?
That's not a rice cooker. A rice cooker is a different appliance.
I’m not Asian im African and we would also say A RICE COOKER
I’m Texan and we use both terms. But a rice cooker is different.
0:58 So now I understood why my salad has a rocket in it
WHEN I SAY I WHEEZED-
I’m British and I’ve literally never heard of hundreds and thousand, I thought it was sprinkles
It could be a regional thing, I'm from the UK and where I came from they would always be called hundreds and thousands
Same😂😂
Same 👌
Hundreds and Thousands is an older name, certainly the one I'd go for first. Sprinkles is more generic and would include some of the other things people sprinkle over cup cakes, like little stars and shit.
Same I just use Sprinkles.
The "American person" has to be a British person doing a American accent.
By the way she pronounces some words.. it just doesn’t sound right.
or Canadian 🤷🏻♂️
That's what I thought. I've never heard an of us say confectioners sugar. We all say powdered. And the way she pronounced Nutella. I've never heard anyone say it that way.
@@gabsclark9524 im from Wisconsin and i say nutella the same way she does
Ikr
I speak fluent French, the entree is French correctly translated = starter . The main course ( dish ) in French = plat principal
I wondered of they had got that wrong too, to me entre would be the apitizer not the main course, and I have seriously basic french.
In fact, just from English (enter) you would think it was the entrance to the meal and not the middle!
Thank you for explaining that to us! I was a little bit confused 😄
Her: frosting
Him: Icing
Canada: BOTH
I’ve never heard anyone call sparkling water “seltzer” and I’m American.
