Two different items. You say Stroller. Brits have prams which are for young lying down babies, BUT, for older children that can sit up, and are active, we call, that a pushchair.
The best thing you can do is read to your child, opening up a world to them of stories, facts, vocabulary and intelligence. Well done to both of you for giving her a love of books that will stay with her forever. best wishes from UK

I was called a boffin all through school, it essentially means nerd.

You should be proud to be called a boffin. IT DOES NOT MEAN NERD. It means you are clever and have the ability to work stuff out. Call me a Boffin anytime.
@@Burglar-King There's an overlap between Boffin and Nerd, but Boffin denotes more of a scientific, academic interest than a personal one. It probably has more in common with Egghead in that respect.

not long after Hoover started in the US the UK branch of hoover opened in the UK so they manufactured them over here as well. I used to work just behind a massive Hoover Offices/Factory in Middlesex in UK, its now a Grade II listed building and was built in an Art Deco style. It was later converted in to a Tesco supermarket but I believe it is now luxury apartments.
Yes, it was a well known landmark. I too used (along time ago) to work in a chemical factory just behind it. It marked the turning off the A40 I used for work.@@Loki1815
we generally use the term 'Pram' for the cot shaped device on wheels, where the baby is laying down, the one that the child is sitting up we call a pushchair
Hoover was the only brand of vacuum cleaner we could get. From a verb meaning to walk with a shuffling or unsteady gait Shamble came to mean anything awkward or chaotic. A bird watcher is a "Twitcher"
Being pedantic, a 'twitcher' is a rare bird spotter more than a watcher. They will go anywhere just to see a rare bird, the name coming from their nervous excitement.
Not the only one in the 1920's but the best. The old factory Art Deco offices on the Great West Road, West London, a grade 2 listed building, are now luxury apartments.
Well, there were other British brands of vacuum cleaner, but Hoover was the one that became synonymous with them. Pity, there used to be a successful manufacturer in the UK called "Goblin," so if history were just a bit different we might all be going around Goblining the carpet instead of Hoovering it.
Most knackers yards were in the city's buying old horses no longer capable of pulling the wagons and cabs required to keep things running farms often just let the old animals graze in a fallow field for the rest of their days hence "being put out to pasture" the horse was still working converting grass to manure to replenish the soil and provided companionship for the newer horse that replaced it
I'd suggest an interesting thing about the word "chuffed" culturally is that it's the always-acceptable word for being proud of an achievement you've done. Bragging about achievements is generally frowned upon in the UK, but you can say "I was really chuffed" and everybody is on your side.
"Shambolic" is just the adjective derived from "shambles", and "shambles" means "a place or situation in a state of confusion or disorder". The etymology of the word is interesting: "shambles" originally meant "a place where meat is sold" changing its meaning to "slaughterhouse" (1540s), then figuratively "place of butchery" (1590s), and, generally, "confusion, mess" .
Probably the most famous landmark in York is a row of old, picturesque buildings called "The Shambles". I'm guessing there used to be butchers' shops there...
Old livestock markets that slaughtered and butchered the carcases on the premises were also called a Shambles, the one in my town is now luxury housing. It's on a hill by the river and adjacent to where a town wall gate was.
One American term that I always wondered about was Box Cutter. I thought it was some kind of exotic device for cutting out a box with some sort of angle guide and straight edges. It turns out that in Britain we would call it a Stanley knife.
I am right chuffed that Sophia uses a lot of British terms, she is our Honorary Brit for sure and it's so nice to see your relaxed personalities coming out even more with each new video.
In 1914, the American composer, John Aldan Carpenter, wrote an orchestral work called 'Adventures in a Perambulator'; so, presumably, the term was better-known in the US back then
Perambulutor is literally "that which is used to walk through" Compare ambulance (literally "walking", it was the hospital that walked to you, as opposed to you going to them) Somnabulist (somnus sleep + ambulo to walk) sleepwalker Funambulist (funis rope) tight rope walker
Lyndsey was crushing this, but then the word "chuffed" came up. I've spent a lot of time in the States and it's always amazed me that "chuffed" has never translated. It's so weird, I use it pretty much everyday.
OMG as a Brit, this was so fun to watch - and also educational for me! I had no idea "shambolic" was a Britishism, for instance. Great stuff. Thanks. :)
When I went to New York. I asked where the toilets were in a restaurant,even though I knew that they use bathroom. Just wanted to see their reaction. The look on the face was priceless.🤣🤣
'Loo' comes from the olden days warning- shouted by the servant or chamber-maid when emptying the 'gazunda'* out of the bedroom window - 'Gardez-l'eau!' - 'watchout! Water!' *gazunda - slang for chamber-pot/p*ss-pot - it 'goes under' the bed. See?
"Well chuffed" or "chuffed to bits means" to say you are very happy about some thing, but here where I live in the east midlands we would call someone - especially a cheeky or naughty little kid a "little chuff". Also heard "chuff off" as a less sweary version of F*** off 😂😂
@@martinwebb1681 🐦🦢🦩🦤🦜Twitcher is the specific name for birdwatcher. Anorak is the generic name for someone with a nerdy hobby which means you stand around outside trying to add a spotting of a new version of whatever you collect to your collection list... be that birds 🦃, trains 🚆,🛩 planes etc.. because lets face it in Britain you will need an anorak for that all year round.
Twitchers are (were) a specific subset of birders who are always waiting for an alert on their phones (previously, pagers) relating to rarities, which they will then attempt to view. They got the name "Twitchers" because of the way they reacted to their pager alerts.
I haven’t seen any prams in modern USA but a pram and a stroller are different. The stroller is open with the baby sitting upright and modern ones can have a cradle for the baby to lie down. Prams are always horizontal with a half dome cover to protect baby from the weather. Pram is short for perambulator, "one who walks or perambulates," which gained the meaning "baby carriage" in the 1850s. Edit: Lindsay is very well read! Nicely done, girl!
László Bíró, a Hungarian newspaper editor, invented the ballpoint pen. The name Biro stuck and became the generic term for a ballpoint. However along came Michel Bich, he had seen what Biro had done and improved on it. Bich named his company Bic, and in short, bought the Biro company and the rest is history!
The word Knacker comes from the term for those who took old Horses (mostly) to be killed so their different parts could be used for various things. So you had the term they are only fit for the knackers or knackers yard when horses etc reached the end of their working life this obviously then spread to mean anything that was tired or worn out
The term Shambolic can be applied to any disorganised/unco-ordinated situation. Its not specifically a football term. The first part of the word being "Sham" a descriptive word in of itself i.e " The whole thing was a complete sham"
Yay I’m first! Love you two! Have another black jack they will grow on you 🤪😜plus Steve on a sugar rush is hugely amusing 😂. Quid is slang for a pound not money in general but I’m not going to be one of those picky people hehe
@@billyhills9933 True...but there's also the phrase "quids in" for having more money than one has previously had (?). "Quidding" is also an (old) equestrian term for a horse (or any equine) who may have a sore mouth due to a rough tooth/ teeth, or ill-fitting bit, for example, so that when the animal chews it's food, the tenderness / sore mouth makes them drool their feed out of the side of their mouth, due to the feed making their gums sore. It needs checking by a vet (or similarly qualified / educated horse owner / groom) and usually the problem can be solved fairly quickly - if rough teeth / tooth is the problem - by having offending teeth / tooth filed down til smooth. (Equine teeth grow all of the time so need checking regularly, and filed as necessary). Alternatively, any badly-fitting bit must be changed to prevent further damage to the horse's mouth and possibly a course of antibiotics given if there's sign of the mouth having become infected. This treatment should stop the "quidding", ease the animal's pain / discomfort, be less wasteful of feed and allow correct bitting to help correctly control any horse when being led, ridden or driven in a bridle.
A very common mistake made by people in the US: we *never* stress the title _Sir_ . It sort of becomes part of the following first name. So, _Sir Robert_ would be pronounced _s'ROB-ert_ .
the hoover is a must in most british houses, as we have carpets through mainly, modern houses are going to the wood floor, its to do with warmeth trough the winter, keeps cold drafts down, as we seal our houses shut through the long winters, to keep our homes warm
SPONDOOLICKS, READIES, MULLA(moola), DOSH, DOUGH =money as well. Hoover is an American company founded in 1908. It became a registered company in the UK in 1919. Old and sick horses would be sent to the KNACKER'S YARD to be slaughtered. BIRO is pronounced BYE RO.
Hi guys!, have I got this correct, Steve said "that hiding illicit substances under a child or doll in the U.S.A is called"A Stroller ", in the UK we call the same act a "Concealment "❤God Bless you both and Sophia of course ❤❤
I think 'stroller' is just their word for a pram/pushchair/buggy (not sure exactly how broad it is). The illicit substances reference is because that was given as one of the incorrect multiple-choice answers, not because they have a special word for it.
William Hoover didn't invent the vacuum cleaner, but he did buy the patent to the first practical domestic vacuum cleaner in 1908 he built several vast factories in the UK because of Britain's commonwealth market would spread the cleaner and washing machine through the world.
Shambolic is a fairly new word, very informal (meaning chaotic or similar) derived from the term shambles which originally meant a slaughterhouse - so, a bloody mess!
@@paulmilner8452Well, one is Elizabethan and one has organically changed. Americans use the English that we in the UK used to use in Elizabethan times. ‘Faucet’ for example.
On a construction site tradesman and workman in the UK will often refer to one level up on a scaffold, or building platform as a "lift". "we are going up a lift today, as soon as the scaffolders have finished".
I thought you both did really well! I didn't know a few of the background or meaning of some of the words. Little Sophia, what a great vocabulary she has. Reading is so great for that as well as being educational and enriching.
I’m chuffed to bits with your performance. You two have become my guilty pleasure. So funny watching you work these through. I reckon every Brit was shouting the answers at the screen. 😂😂😂
As a Yorkshireman, 'chuffed' is a very common word to hear around here. Your videos for example make me right chuffed! Shambolic can mean anything ill organised, but we also often use phrases like "they couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery" and similar for teams or people who are disorganised.
Butty is a sandwich with butter on it - some places use margarine, but it’s not a butty unless you use butter - a place I went to didn’t put butter on a chip butty I bought - I called her out on it - she told me that they don’t put butter on them - so, using my credentials as a trading standards officer (amazing what you can do with a disabled person’s bus pass and a library ticket) - I said to either put butter on it or stop calling it a chip butty - she put Lurpak on it!

Biro is pronounced bye-ro not bee-ro. Shambolic isn't just a football term it can apply to almost anything that's disorganised.
Would have said the same, but saw your comment

Hi guys!, have I got this correct, Steve said "that hiding illicit substances under a child or doll in the U.S.A is called"A Stroller ", in the UK we call the same act a "Concealment "❤God Bless you both and Sophia of course ❤❤
I think 'stroller' is just their word for a pram/pushchair/buggy (not sure exactly how broad it is). The illicit substances reference is because that was given as one of the incorrect multiple-choice answers, not because they have a special word for it.
@@Sal-iw8zg Thanks for that sal.much appreciatef!👍❤️

Shambolic is a fairly new word, very informal (meaning chaotic or similar) derived from the term shambles which originally meant a slaughterhouse - so, a bloody mess!
English and American English.
Two very different things.
Yep one is correct one is changed 😂😊
They definitely are!
@@paulmilner8452Well, one is Elizabethan and one has organically changed. Americans use the English that we in the UK used to use in Elizabethan times. ‘Faucet’ for example.
@@paulmilner8452 To be fair, they evolved individually after being separated.
The police also used to be called peelers but not peelheads
Some Londoners call the Police "the rozzers" ...but I don't why!!

On a construction site tradesman and workman in the UK will often refer to one level up on a scaffold, or building platform as a "lift". "we are going up a lift today, as soon as the scaffolders have finished".

This had me in stitches, especially shambollic, I could have watched this all day,thank you ❤
I thought you both did really well! I didn't know a few of the background or meaning of some of the words. Little Sophia, what a great vocabulary she has. Reading is so great for that as well as being educational and enriching.
Wow you both had such fun today. Cheered me up lol

I’m chuffed to bits with your performance.
You two have become my guilty pleasure.

I think you did really well!! It’s a complicated language really 😊
As a Yorkshireman, 'chuffed' is a very common word to hear around here. Your videos for example make me right chuffed! Shambolic can mean anything ill organised, but we also often use phrases like "they couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery" and similar for teams or people who are disorganised.
Butty is a sandwich with butter on it - some places use margarine, but it’s not a butty unless you use butter - a place I went to didn’t put butter on a chip butty I bought - I called her out on it - she told me that they don’t put butter on them - so, using my credentials as a trading standards officer (amazing what you can do with a disabled person’s bus pass and a library ticket) - I said to either put butter on it or stop calling it a chip butty - she put Lurpak on it!
Love you guys sooooo much ❤❤❤ always lighten my life up! 😊
Please never change being so positive and just so nice!! ❤ 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 ❤
