Costume historically meant a set of clothes for a particular activity and for some things it’s stuck more, like swimming costume

@dribrom 2 жыл бұрын

The words come from Italian word costume meaning ‘custom, fashion, habit’. It was adopted to English in the early 18th century to mean as you say a set of cloths as nobles tend to change cloths for every activity they did. So you had a luncheon costume a dinner costume, riding costume and so on.

She's going to inform everybody in the UK about the term "budgie smugglers" even though it is a phrase that has been used here for years 🤦‍♂️. Also, Maize is most definitely not used as a "posh" word for corn in the UK.

I think it's just that she's young and hasn't picked up on these terms in her day-to-day. As you say, "budgie smugglers" is a very well known (and used) term to most UK people, at least if you're of a certain age. I don't know where she's coming from with "maize". I've never heard that word used in the UK unless referring to a US context.

The British girl, although well spoken, originates from the North-West of England, you can hear it. Therefore she uses some different teminology to people elsewhere in the UK. A Budgie (Budgerigar) is a Parakeet in the US. Also these are retively young people, so wouldn't remember what things were called when first introduced, or words that have becomre redundant? I've heard "Cossie" used in the past, mainly in the North, however "Costume" would be clothing for a particular task? Probably? And "Trainers", when they came in, probably during the early seventies, we originally called them "Training shoes". And the word shoes generally got dropped in time.

Yes here in Australia some (but not all) McDonald's restaurants actually have the title "Macca's" under the golden arches. "Pom" or "Pommie" is aussie/kiwi slang for a British, or more commonly English, person. The term goes back over a hundred years and its origin is debated among several theories. Like most aussie nicknames for foreigners it is context-sensitive. In other words it can be quite friendly, neutral, or an insult, depending on the conversation.

We use the costume in the context of jewellery, costume jewellery which simply means jewellery which isn't precious gem or gold. But in terms of clothing we only use costume for fancy dress outfits or if you are a performer you may use it to describe your outfit, EXCEPT for swimming costume, which is in general use in the UK. The word it self just means what you wear. So a swimming costume is just what you wear for swimming.

I would talk to my school mates about my ‘swimming trunks’ and they didn’t understand what that was, as they said togs. I’d talk about my ‘jam butties’ which was a mystery to them, but it just meant jam sandwiches. The whole candy thing was confusing. In England it was sweets, but in NZ it was lollies. The problem was that in England, lollies meant ice lollies but in NZ they call them ice blocks. In England, ice blocks are literally blocks of ice…it just went round and round in circles until I learned to speak like a kiwi. Sweet as bro!

The English ladies accent is far different to how the vast majority of English people speak. One, because she's sounds American for some reason and two, because she also sounds posh.

1:28 I agree. That blonde girl in green pants sometimes sound more "valley girl" than the american ladies. At least from my outsider's perspective.

Just an observation from an Aussie...The British girl on the term "great" was using a southern aspect if you were from the North East it would be "champion" there would be many other local variations...BTW a budgie, short for budgerigar, is a small parakeet species endemic to Australia.

No, it's not known as maize. I'm British and have never heard anyone call corn "maize".

In your use of the word costume you have dropped the words "fancy dress". There are different types of costume, fancy dress, stage, national, swimming etc.

"Saffas" - I come across this quite often in discussion forums, or in some sub-reddits where South Africans are referenced by other nationalities. But almost never in person.

Except it isn't spelt or pronounced MicDonalds, its MAcDonalds so how does it end up being 'Mickey D's', makes no actual sense. Then again, it is an American thing so it doesn't really need to make sense in English. A costume does not have to be 'fancy dress'.

The sound is not too good. I think with so much travel, especially the young start to sound a lot like each other when together. South African is the most pronounced dialect. I think we in the UK were called Pommies by Australians during the war. I could be wrong.
