I'm English, knocking on a bit, and can confirm that 'carry on' or 'carrying on' was definitely a way of alluding to having a 'bit of how's your father' with someone other than your 'trouble and strife' or 'old pot and pan'. I'm sure I've made myself clear.

Interesting so maybe it’s a regional difference. I live close to London and I’ve always called them American muffin or blueberry/chocolate muffin. I bake and it’s a completely different recipe. Muffins are denser as they have a higher ratio of flour and normally no icing. A cupcake is sweeter and much closer in texture to our fairy cake (but much larger!) they are also normally iced with way too much buttercream frosting!

You can have the sausages lying next to the mash on the plate, in an orderly fashion, or you can have a big heap of mash in the middle of your plate with the bangers poking out of it in all directions, like in the kids comic book The Beano.

A 'banger' firework is one that is lit, fizzes for a few seconds and then explodes 'BANG'. We also play Ice Hockey. We have American muffins in the UK and yes we would call them cakes as they are so sweet, The so-called "English Muffin" is a traditional food (a style of bread) made for many years, so the proper name is simply a 'muffin', the US version is just a type of cupcake and of course for American tastes it has to bereally sweet. The real muffin recipe was first written in a recipe book in 1747 but had been baked by housewives for much longer than that, they were sold warm and buttered as street food by 'muffin men'. Well before the US Constitution was adopted in 1789. We do have American Muffins and very nice they are occasionally. Interestingly, Muffin' also has a darker meaning and was used to describe a certain female part of the anatomy which resides between the legs. We also had a children's puppet programme on TV in the 1950s and 60s concerning a Mule called Muffin, as we grew older the joke became "Muffin the Mule is not illegal" obviously referring to it's darker meaning.

The Muffins one do seem strange to me. As I grew up calling what he calls muffins, English muffins (often cooked on a griddle) the the yeast doughy savoury versions (what Macdonald's uses for their breakfast sandwiches). Different from the other yummy savoury treat the crumpet (similar shape and size but filled with holes) the great conveyor of butter and cheese. Then you have sweet cakey muffins. These are big brothers of cup cakes. But muffins are more likely to have added extras such as chocolate, fruit or even some types of vegetable varieties of them (chocolate chip blueberry, carrot cake etc). Cup cakes are the tiny bite size ever so dainty cakes that most often simply made of vanilla or chocolate cake then topped with iced. You also have the fancy versions butterfly cakes which have the tops cut off, halved and stuck back onto the cupcake with buttercream icing so the halved top looks a little bit like a butterfly (kind of).

When I was a youngster we were allowed to save up our money and go to a shop and buy fireworks (not anymore). All we were interested in were penny 'bangers' and or if we were 'flush' tuppenny 'cannons' that were more explosive and louder! A banger is, of course, also a sausage. An 'old banger' was a rubbish car that was bought very cheaply to tide you over when you could not afford anything better.

We also have a whole series of comedy films in Britain that are collectively known as "Carry On films," because all of their titles begin with the words, carry on...! For example, Carry on Nurse, Carry on Teacher, Carry on Camping, etc. They are all stuffed with innuendo and double-entendres, and feature exaggerated stereotypes of camp men and really big, dominant women - not to mention a young Barbara Windsor's bust...! Most of the actors are now dead, but were very popular indeed and often featured in TV sit-coms from the 1960s and 70s.

"Ice Hockey" was pretty big in Britain between the Wars an Britain won Gold at the 1936 Winter Olympics. My parents were both born around the end of WW1 and in their teens and early twenties, would go to watch "Wembley Lions" playing Ice Hockey, until WW2 came along! The league collapsed in 1960.

We call cupcakes, pattycakes in aus. The papers are patty papers, they come in that shape. Have you seen butterfly cakes? We have english muffins too, and the 4x bigger muffins are muffins, like yours. The english use gingerbread slices, or a plain piece of pastry, covered in a loose ginger concoction. In aus gingerbread is a ginger flavoured cake, either sliced and buttered if you like, or cut into squares. It can be iced with lemon icing or not. In aus, a homely woman is a plain faced person, in plain clothes, shy, not beautiful, but not really ugly either. Everybody has value, not just for their looks. A plain person can have a brilliant brain, loves and can be hurt, just like you. Are geeks all handsome? Do you have to be beautiful to write hit songs? Have the best hair? NO! All sorts of jobs need to be done to keep the community running. If we look down on garbologists, or sewer workers, or home makers, say lets not have such lowly folk, the system would quickly break down completely. Somebody "has" to do it! Everybody is valuable. Would families survive without farmers to grow food? What about college students? Where does your daily bread come from, the bacon and eggs, peanut butter and jelly etc.? Would white folk even live in America without immigration, and you very nearly had to speak german, would Mexicans speak Spanish? Bullying and racism are the fall-back of not-so-bright folk. Think about it!

In terms of fireworks, if you've seen firecrackers, bangers are one of those tubes containing the powder in isolation. Yes muffins exist in the UK, they're a bit more bready than cakes. Unfrosted cupcakes are often called 'fairy cakes'. We do accept that if someone says "chocolate chip muffin" they mean the American variety.

17:51 we used to call “American muffins” cupcakes, but the popularity of brands like Starbucks and similar who brought the bigger, more over the top American style over here has led to muffin being used just about as much - but we still also have cupcakes which are the more sensible sized little cakes. So we have both and could point to things and call them different names depending on size / style etc. So now it’s Americans who lack a word for “cupcakes”

"Carry on" is also used as in "What are you carrying on about?" meaning what are you complaining about. To learn more about the British political system, you should watch the TV series "Yes, Minister". There is an episode where they talk about the banger(sausage). It is described as an "emulsified high-fat offal tube" with these characteristics "The average British sausage consists of 32.5% fat, 6.5% rind, 20% water, 10% rusk, 5% seasoning, preservative and colouring, and only 26% meat, which is mostly gristle, head meat, other offcuts and mechanically-recovered meat steamed off the carcasses." It is surprising that you don't know another American use of "banger" which means a member of a criminal gang: "There was a fight between gang bangers."

This guy from the North of England has many many posts about how different the US and UK are I believe he often loses the plot in the process. Carry on in UK can mean bags you bringing with you into the Cabin. Hand Luggage and Carry on are a bit dated it should be called wheel on. Carry on as per the poster means continue and is a bit archaic. Carry on and carrying on can also mean someone making a fuss over nothing or doing things that are not needed to do the task at hand. What is all that carry on in the street? They are arguing over which car caused the accident. She has been carrying on with a married man in secret.

Words like fawcett, diaper and drapes are English words that were in use when the Pilgrim Fathers settled in America and their language developed differently there than it did in the UK. British English has been subject to many different influences in the last 500 years or so than the US so words still in use in the US have gone out of use here in the UK.

Carry on = continue with what you are doing. A carry on is a funny happening. Banger, sausage, because they sometimes pop & spit when frying, like a firework. A specific type of firework which just explodes with a bang. A clapped out old car. Hocky in the UK is a field sport, without ice. Homely = a cosy, comfortable house. An American 'muffin' is nothing like a genuine English muffin, but a like a large cup cake. The American muffin is now common in the UK, but not as a breakfast food, more often as a snack, like other cakes. What Americans call 'frosting' is icing in the UK, & it may be hard or soft. On wedding & Christmas cakes it is usually hard, on some smaller items it is soft.
