I don't speak English as a first language (I'm still learning it) but I really found your videos very inspiring and interesting. You guys are soooo funny :) Thanks very much for sharing it !!! LOL
I'm from the US and I have never realized just how many British words I used in normal conversation until watching this video! XD Things like blunt, or pins and needles, or herbs and other stuff like that. I blame living in Scotland when I was little....>> lol
fringe - bangs. A friend of mine asked me where I got my "bangs" done and I had no idea what she was on about. I thought she was on about a gun and I don't own a gun nor would I bring one to school.
I guess I would too Matthew Leicester! Thanks for the comment & subscribing to my channel! Make sure you watch my other videos & share them with your friends :)
Yeah, things like the bee's knees and trousers are used here in the US mainly by older people but maybe not in Canada? And the only thing on this list I might not understand an english person meant, would be fringe. Also blunt doesn't sound weird at all, I would say dull, but wouldn't think twice about someone saying blunt. It might be that my family said it or my area (Central Illinois) but I don't know why that would be weird to anyone.
spelcheak Exactly. Maybe it's a midwestern thing (I live in Iowa), but I have definitely heard a lot of these before. It makes me question what expressions or words I'm using that other American's don't understand. Like a davenport. Or nylons. 8O ??
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davenport_(sofa) People don't say Davenport around where I live; I think I may have heard it once or twice by like a grandaunt at Christmas or something, but everyone just says sofa.
HOOOLAAA!!! hi guys...I have to make a survey of service about a company to people from all around the world, and this funny video was very usefull...thank a lot,,,still having a great time and thenk you...GRACIAS!!!
Wow lol. I thought about y'all doing different accents or switching accents! "How do you say 'owl'?" You JUST said it like the way it was supposed to be said!
As a swede. I mix american and british accent (scotish, english, irish). It's pretty weird, 'cause I can change accent in the middle of a conversation without thinking about it.
Im From the north west, notices on a few videos we use the same words as most of the americans/canadians, must be a southern thing, plus we think there silverspoon mongs too.
Again, some clarification from a Brit Snog - She is right in that the word mainly used by adolescents. The more popular term in the UK would be to "get off" as in "I heard you got off with that girl that night.
+Steve King lol, getting off is not something the us would use to describe making out...getting off is sort of like saying u are turned on by something. Like "I'm getting off from watching that..." Idk, at least that's how I always thought of it.
The girl sounded more American than Canadian when she tried to swap. A general Canadian accent is hard for the average speaker from the UK. I would guess it may have something to do with the fact that they receive American television, and movies much more frequently than any Canadian programing. IMHO. I could be completely wrong of course :)
I thought it was great too Emily Lundrigan! We'll be making another video this summer so stay subscribed! Maybe I'll teach her how to speak Canadian lol
A blunt in North America, is a joint, marajuana cigarette. Blunt also means "dull" or not sharp. You hear it described in the news... He was struck with a blunt object. Meaning not sharp, like a knife, but a club or rock.... so she is right.... but, for slang, he was right.
well in the country that i live now , the words sound more like british accent , but i definitely liike american accent more....1st cus i am used to it , and it doesn't sound weird to me , and 2nd some of the words are easier to say....
there is no such thing as a 'british accent' Britain has many accents such as : Essex, Nottinghamshire (me), Birmingham, London, Scottish,northern irish, welsh, new castle (jordie). Britain has a wider rage of accents than the whole of the usa. you can live within miles of somebody and not understand what they are saying :)
yeah but everybody who does not live in the u.s. or united kingdom , says american accent and british accent , almost nobody says - well... he has californian accent , or new jersey accent ... only the people in america say that... whatever...i guess everybody has his own opinion ...so there's no need to firght

Ryan, how about doing a Welsh accent challenge. Are you familiar with the Welsh language? Welsh sounds very Latin. Have you been to Wales? I've never been, but plan on taking a trip this spring. It looks like a beautiful country. My great grandfather was Welsh. I did spend 2 months and traveled all over England. Loved It.
Check out my vlog to the Harry Potter Studio in London! You can tell how much of a massive fan I am haha Have you been before? HARRY POTTER LONDON STUDIO!
***** I've never been to London but If I go there I'll definitely visit the Harry Potter Studio. The moving props look amazing. As do pretty much everything else =] And yup. You really are a massive fan :)
Biro invented the ballpoint pen. I believe he was Hungarian. Dry ballpoint especially disposable are called Biro. Gel/wet pens with a smaller ball tip tend not to be. You can write under water with a biro, also in space.
How can you not have the word blunt in the US? So every word went across, but for some bizarre reason, blunt stayed in the motherland and refused to go.
no, we totally use the word blunt. it's a mystery to me why he mentioned drugs as well. yes, a blunt is a type of marijuana cigarette, but that's nowhere near the most common usage of the word.
siomara ortiz Thanks for the reply. Can you just clear something else up? I don't think I've heard this mentioned before. Could be a dumb question. When a word ends in 'y' and it becomes plural, we put 'ie' to replace it, so party becomes parties. I think Americans though would just spell it partys.
I was just looking for some foods videos to show my pupils and found your videos! They're AWESOME! I loved it!
Thaís Slomski Thanks gurl! lots of love to you and your pupils
gotta love the last section .Y'all made me laugh guys. She made a pretty good job
Raymond Horvath Thanks so much for the positive comment!
I don't speak English as a first language (I'm still learning it) but I really found your videos very inspiring and interesting. You guys are soooo funny :) Thanks very much for sharing it !!!

Hilarious! :D I has 'discovered' you recently and I really like what you do, great job :)
fringe - bangs. A friend of mine asked me where I got my "bangs" done and I had no idea what she was on about. I thought she was on about a gun and I don't own a gun nor would I bring one to school.
i would say blunt to describe some one that isn't subtle as well as a blunt knife
I guess I would too Matthew Leicester! Thanks for the comment & subscribing to my channel! Make sure you watch my other videos & share them with your friends :)
You two are so cute! This video was so funny!
You sound so much like Professor Mcgonagall from Starkid's A very potter senior year!
I'm going to take that as a compliment ***** ;)
Thanks for the comment & subscribing to my channel! :)
it is a compliment! (LOVE STARKID!) ;)
I come from a country that uses queens language english and we always get into it over Aluminium/aluminum and Bonnet/hood
I'm laughing while writting this the loo is a funny word. And how you said: I am going to the loo. Well okay? Your funny :)
She's so pretty!
Weird. I live in America and I always say that's the bee's knees. I didn't even know that was an English thing.
Yeah, things like the bee's knees and trousers are used here in the US mainly by older people but maybe not in Canada?

Dandelion Fire well its a UK thing, most British people say the Bees Knees not just english people :)

I'm happy you enjoyed the video! Thanks for commenting and subscribing :)
knife is the wrong thing to use the term blunt for in any use of it... a club is a blunt object, but even a dull knife is sharp enough to cut
Thanks for that The Redstoner Good to know!
Thanks for the comment & subscribing to my channel! :)
Its funny cause she keeps thinking everything we say is weird, but watching this as a canadian, I think everything the british say is weird
Sarah Bear I KNOW EH? ;)
It's funny because I am from Canada and I knew most of them
The original type of English is ENGLISH ENGLISH with British accent.
In Canada for making out most people say 'Wheel' or "Wheeling'. Like "Yo man, did you Wheel that chick."
Are you high? I've lived here my whole life and in 28 years and the thousands of people that I've met I've never once heard that term.
hahahahahaha. Excelllllleeeennt!!!!
Wow lol. I thought about y'all doing different accents or switching accents! "How do you say 'owl'?" You JUST said it like the way it was supposed to be said!
As a swede. I mix american and british accent (scotish, english, irish).

***** Super interesting! Thanks for the comment!

Daniel Morris Interesting!
Making out and snog seem the most different to me.
What is the different between Canadian and American accents? Yous hace to do a video about that.
Carlos AgameZ I plan too! Each coast of Canada and America also have different accents!
+Carlos AgameZ ,
Not until he becomes an adult. His giggling is driving me crazy.
hahahahaha very funny I am going to use that in my class. I teach Greek children the English language
Despina Papadopoulou That's awesome! Good luck with teaching! Sounds wonderful! :)
I love you. you're so funny when you read harry porter.
nguyen langquathong haha glad you enjoyed it gurl!
Ryan sounds kind of like Gollum in some points trying to talk in a British Accent xD
haha I can do a really good Gollum voice Chantal Assals xD
Thanks for the comment & subscribing to my channel :)
LOL I want to hear that!!! No problem :)
Again, some clarification from a Brit
Snog - She is right in that the word mainly used by adolescents. The more popular term in the UK would be to "get off" as in "I heard you got off with that girl that night.
+Steve King lol, getting off is not something the us would use to describe making out...getting off is sort of like saying u are turned on by something. Like "I'm getting off from watching that..." Idk, at least that's how I always thought of it.
Have you tried doing different British accents, for example Geordie or Scouse?
DO AN AMERICAN VS CANADIAN ACCENT VID! :D
It would be funny to compare the difference!
The girl sounded more American than Canadian when she tried to swap. A general Canadian accent is hard for the average speaker from the UK. I would guess it may have something to do with the fact that they receive American television, and movies much more frequently than any Canadian programing. IMHO. I could be completely wrong of course :)
Nancy Cousintine I agree! At least she tried haha
OMG she is very beautiful!
Bryan Morais I'll let her know you think so
Ok...
so what is "bee's knees"? is it business in canadian?
do Canada vs usa accents
hmmm could've sworn i saw joey graceffa do this exactly?
I live her Canadian accent!!
I thought it was great too Emily Lundrigan!
We'll be making another video this summer so stay subscribed! Maybe I'll teach her how to speak Canadian lol
i liked it when you did a british accent
paul gutierrez haha thanks Paul~! I try :P
bags?thats so weird arent they sausages?;D
We say bees knees in America
Bee's Knees? I'm an American and I was so surprised to find out that you didn't know what that means. No offense.
Pizza Leah yeah i haven't heard it before i moved to england haha
Barney!!!!

IN England they call a blunt a knife but it's drugs here
***** Blunt is a different term here ,we just call knife a knife
***** Sorry I don't know what blunt actually mean in England but I'm from America
*****
Oh thanks that was really helpful
*****
okay thanks I love england so much I'm going there in 3 years 1/2 years for college
***** Thanks I ant to go to Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts or LIPA

THE KNEES OF THE BEES, that's how I say it
Canadians don't use the word blunt? That blew my mind more than it probably should have!
Some people say blunt for drugs haha Rach2625! Maybe some Canadians use the word but not me :P
Haha Love the german Accent!
more
More what Storm Low!?
When I think of snog I think of eggnog
when I did a British accent I sound like John Lennon
Rafael is pretty. :) I wondered what her name was.
I think the way they pronounce the letter "h" and the "chat up" meaning was very abnormal to the American ways.
I thought both parts of BRITISH V.S. CANADIAN ACCENTS were interesting but mostly that she is beautiful
Subscribe to my channel as we will be making more videos soon Kenny Davenport :D
im american and i say fringe and blunt
Hogwarts is in scotland not England.
Harry Potter is the BAE
Do people in Britain actually say "the bees knees"?? To me, that sounds like a very 1920's thing to say lol
Sometimes. Its more of a phrase that you hear when you are younger or what older people say. I don't say it much myself :)
my gran says it lmfao :D
Can I have more videos of Ellen please? Thanks
what BLUNT means??
Aldana Gimenez dull

Don't Brits, or at least some of them, refer to Pens as Biros?
Biro invented the ballpoint pen.
I believe he was Hungarian.
Dry ballpoint especially disposable are called Biro.
Gel/wet pens with a smaller ball tip tend not to be.
You can write under water with a biro, also in space.
We call ballpoiny pens= biros and any random type of pen just normal pens
Holy shit she sounds American.
there is no such thing as a British accent ...
YES THERE IS, THE BRITISH ONE IS THE ORIGINAL ONE!!! HOW IS YOUR COMMENT TOP COMMENT?
the H&M British pronounciation was so weird to me.
for me british accent the best, american accent the worst.

+slapmyfunkybass we do use it in america. It means to be very straightfoward. And I've heard it used for smoking marijuana too, like smoking a blunt.
siomara ortiz It means the same here, but we also use it to mean a blade that isn't sharp, like a blunt knife. So how would you describe that?
slapmyfunkybass I've heard some people use blunt to describe a knife, but I usually use the word dull or I say it's "worn out".
siomara ortiz Thanks for the reply. Can you just clear something else up? I don't think I've heard this mentioned before. Could be a dumb question. When a word ends in 'y' and it becomes plural, we put 'ie' to replace it, so party becomes parties. I think Americans though would just spell it partys.
