I love how America is so proud of leaving the British Empire it celebrates it every 4th July, but is as equally proud of still using that empire’s system of measurement. It’s literally called the imperial system 😂

Leftenant is so pronounced as the Old French spelling for lieu was spelled luef. Almost 40% of English is actually derived from French. A road that has no exit for instance is referred to as a “cul-de-sac.” We say courgette while in the US you use the Italian name Zucchini.

Tyler IS a drinking game.. every time he says 'wait, WHAT?' take a drink.🇨🇦

Switched off at "YorkSHYRE". Again. Pudding in the UK has been around since the 12th century so I think we know what it means.

Tyler.....the clue is in the name 'Imperial'..... we use pints, gallons, quarts, miles, yards, feet, inches, pounds and ounces .... a stone is 14 pounds (weight), although officially a 'metric' country we 'mix and match'. Miles per hour, miles to the gallon for cars. I'm old so personally never 'use' metric except for buying a litre bottle of Coke lol...... ;-) ......Americans please remember we INVENTED the Imperial system lol

We only banter with people we know and like. If you call a stranger a wanker, they will hit you

Basically, no one wants to finish work and then pop down the pub for a "quick half a litre".

If he hasn't worked out puddings yet after at least 5 videos this year covering this, he is never going to. Whether that is deliberate or purely inability to retain information, I leave to you to decide..but I tend to think "average American" is flattering himself.

Terms of Endearment are quite common in Nova Scotia, Canada. We are very British. Lots of fish and chips served here too.

has Tyler ever not been confused🤣

I was amused that while you Googled several words you didn't Google Wanker ......... that made me think that you really do know what it means!

You won't read this Tyler..but for any Americans who want to know...A British pudding is a dish, savory or sweet, that's cooked by being boiled or steamed in something: a dish, a piece of cloth, or even animal intestine..ok you got me on Yorkshire puds..

As for food, the UK lost a lot of its food history due to WWII rationing. However, "British" food is ubiquitous in the US, you don't even realise it and even many British people don't. A new name or a slightly new form might be American, but its roots are British. Apple Pie, Pot Pies, Macaroni Cheese, Cheddar Cheese for that matter too, Doughnuts, Christmas Roast Dinner and much of Thanksgiving Dinner, Potato Chips, Candy Bars (chocolate bars), most all of your craft beer scene is British beers, half the roots of Fried Chicken or Buffalo Wings, the ubiquitous "sandwich", albeit in its actual form of sliced bread like the "grilled cheese" or a BLT. Just to name a few more obvious examples. The US goes as far as calling soft scrambled eggs "French Style" everywhere because it sounds better than "English Style". French style is like a sauce and you pour it onto toast. EDIT: Also, Beans on Toast is actually American...

So glad I am British and English... I would have missed half my cultural life if I had grown up in USA

We use metric and imperial depending on what we measure x

I don’t believe that anyone, including Tyler , is as thick as he makes out, not even the “Average American “. He never reads the comments so don’t bother making any sensible comments. I watch him because I’m bored

British things that confuse Americans? The (real!) English language!

Almost anything can be pudding. It has many meanings. What you call pudding is more like mousse.

you’ve literally had most of these explained to you before in these comments many, many times. You’ve also come across the answer of some of these questions many times before in your previous videos.

OMG, he’s nearly 30 and had to look up ZZ Top.

Tyler, This is correct our pints are larger than your pints as is our gallon. A stone is a measurement of weight equal to 14 lbs. This is before you start talking about chains, poles, perches furlongs etc.

Lieutenant: You have to understand that Norman French was the language of the government and military in England hundreds of years before the US founding Fathers. Apparently in Norman French (rather than contemporary French) lieu is pronounced luef. Indeed we DON'T say Left-tenant, but Lef-tenent Some even say Luef-tenent. It's subtle, but you can hear it.

If someone tells me they weigh 180 pounds or 82 kg I can't visualise that. If they say they weigh 13 stone, that means something to me.

Traditionally, in the UK the term 'pudding' stems primarily from the method of cooking. It refers to something which is encased in either a cloth or bowl, or edible bag (like animal intestines) and then boiled or steamed. This covers both items like Christmas pudding, a variety of sponge or suet based desserts, and also savoury dishes like black pudding and haggis. Yorkshire pudding doesn't fit this definition - because it is baked in the oven in animal fat rather than being steamed - however there are certain similrities between the finished product and some steamed puddings. Over time the word 'pudding' has come to be used to refer to any sweet dessert dish served after the main savoury course of a meal. Most people use it in this way, rather than the more traditional definition.

An American criticising British food, that's rich when they invented junk food 😂

Bangers and mash is mashed potatoes topped with saucages (bangers) and (onion) gravy. Very tasty and hearty meal.

When it comes to weights and measures we in the UK are somewhat ambidextrous. We use a bit of both metric and imperial depending on the circumstances. We are not outright one or the other.

Sure we use metric and still say pints, but then you use mm for bullet sizes and use imperial, tell me how that one works.

Not a British pint, it is a real pint, it is America that's out of line. Also, you do NOT use the Imperial system, in the US it is called the American Customary system which has some very important differences.

He remains conveniently baffled by the definition of pudding even though this is his like 100th episode about it. US Pudding is just Jello corporation imitation chocolate custard. It is the same thing as UK Birds custard. The meaning of Pudding is not changed in the US as we all speak English and the meaning has not changed in the rest of the English speaking world. This is a specific example of a brand defining their category as you are exclusively thinking of Jello Pudding and the Hunts knockoff. It is like if the Brits started insisting we call "the Vacuum of Space" as "the HOOVER of Space!" "The Speed of light in a Hoover!" Then they started complaining that outer space was confusing because there were no hoover brand vacuum cleaners to be seen.

No Brit is angry about anyone not using metric. WE INVENTED IMPERIAL AND STILL PREFER IT. America never had an empire. Imperial refers to ours. A stome is 14 lbs. Anyone claiming to use Imperial should know that.

The thing with language is that English is very old and has gone through a long process to develop the spelling and pronuciation we have today. America has taken the ready formed words and used them at face value. Lieutenant is an old word and originally pronounced Lievtenant. Brexit wasn't just about migration, it was suppposed to be a "Common Market" when we first joined. Then the EU started imposing its own laws and more. They had a One size to fit all approach that many felt was taking the P as it didn't work very well with UK. We couldn't just close our borders, that wasn't allowed, besides it worked both ways, Brits got easy access to European jobs, holidays and travel. The EU made us use metric so trade used a common weight, but imperial is still very much part of our way of life. You can get a pint of milk, but it says .568 of a litre. Beer is in pints (because it's British), but wine is in ml. I doubt any Brit would get angry about you using imperial.

In the term "Imperial Measurements" which Empire do you think it refers to??

The Brits also eat tea. They are a weird bunch, but we Scandinavians still love them :)

Yorkshire is pronounced York-sher, Berkshire - Bark-sher. Shire is "Sher". St John is pronounced Sin-Jun, Cholmondeley is pronounced Chumley, Mainwaring pronounced mannering.

Duck is a well known term of endearment in the East Midlands, like Nottingham Sheer, York Sheer, Licestershire, (Lester Sheer). In the East Midlands accent Duck rhymes with Book. You might also get called Chick, (whether you're male or female).

Tyler has the memory of a goldfish; he's repeatedly confused by the same things he's reacted to multiple times before LOL. - he's repeatedly reacted to videos giving the correct pronunciation of 'pasty' and 'Yorkshire', but still gets it wrong.

Shire is normally pronounced “sher” as in New Hampshire. The sovereign’s representative in a shire was called a “reave”, hence the name sheriff.

Lieutenant is said wrong in the USA. The rank of Lieutenant and how it is said pre-dates the USA.

American pudding is an eggless cold custard to a Brit.

Pudding: Middle English (denoting a sausage such as black pudding ): apparently from Old French boudin ‘black pudding’, from Latin botellus ‘sausage, small intestine’. Google’s English dictionary is provided by Oxford Languages.

The word 'Lieutenant' is pronounced differently because in the UK it is pronounced 'leftenant', derived from luef, the Old French for lieu.

Yorkshire Pudding: “it’s a starter, named after a dessert that we have as a main”

Christ, not the pudding thing again! 'Please feel free to leave a comment'....hahaha! And York-shyer, again.

Originally a pudding was boiled in cloth or basin. It could be sweet or savoury. Thus treacle pudding is suet pastry in a basin over treacle and steak and kidney is a dish lined with suet pastry and filled with meat. It’s the cooking method. Haggis is boiled.

Fish and chips is amazing. Especially if it's really greasy and eaten out of paper with a wooden fork on a chilly seafront :). Bangers are sausages - so bangers and mash is sausages with mashed potato (usually with gravy, sometimes also with onions. Yum!).

The term 'duck' was once an honorific word used in the same way as 'Sir'. It has the same roots as the title 'Duke'. In the NE of England it's common to hear 'Pet'. Go further north into Scotland and it's 'Hen'. 😁

Generally when British people use the word pudding to describe a sweet dish it is just another word for desert. Like a sandwich can be less formally known as a butty. Desert can be less formally known as a pudding. Most people would think of pudding as something their mum made rather and something they buy in a restaurant. Savoury puddings like steak and kidney pudding are dishes named probably after the way they were cooked in the past. In a pudding dish. Yorkshire pudding may be named that way for a similar reason, but is made from pancake mixture or batter which is mostly made of flour, eggs and milk and not sweet. The less milk the more it is like the batter on fish, but the more milk it can make Yorkshire puddings or pancakes. To make Yorkshire pudding it is cooked in a particular way to make a non sweet crispy accompaniment for roast meat. While for pancakes it is fried flat and loaded with sugar, lemon juice etc, and quite thin like a crepe (French pancakes)

Doesn’t take much to confuse Tyler we call a pudding anything we eat after a main meal.

I refer to a pudding as a hot sweet dish after a main course and I refer to a dessert as a cold sweet dish after a main course.

In the UK, we seem to use a mixture of imperial and metric. Like, I measure distance in miles and metres (or miles and chains, if you want to guess the industry I work in) and I measure liquids as pints in cups, or litres in bottles, or gallons in tanks.

haha.. imagine if outside the US we all said zed zed top? The Canadian specifically said he does it for amusement but that part went over Tyler's head.

Pudding is what we say in the home. And dessert when we go out for dinner. There are Yorkshire puddings, suet puddings , peas pudding...generally though, pudding is any desert .

Pudding in the UK can be more accurately described as anything sweet or suet. Suet pudding is usually savoury, like a Yorkshire pudding (basically water and flour-more like a pastry) or a pork pie pastry.

For Yorkshire puddings, think popovers. Same batter but you butter tall moulds, put the batter in and put into a hot oven. We use shallow trays with oil in that we put in the oven to get smoking hot, then add the batter and put back into the oven to cook. Steak and kidney pudding. Suet pastry in a deep mould, filled with chunks of steak and kidney in a thick rich gravy, then a suet pastry top added. Thus is then covered with foil and steamed in a pan of boiling water until cooked. Sweet puddings can be things like steamed sponge topped with jam or syrup, cheesecake, gateaux, basically another name for dessert. Christmas pudding. Like a rich very fruity cake batter in a basin or bowl, covered with foil and steamed in a pan of boiling water.

Hey Tyler. Love your videos, been a subsciber for quite some time. Just trying to clear up a few things in this video for you. 1. French The origin of the term comes from the French lieu, place, and tenant, holder, one who holds his authority from a senior officer. The word, logically, is pronounced 'lootenant' in the USA, but in English it is pronounced 'leftenant', possibly derived from luef, the Old French for lieu. 2. Calling a guy a wanker is like calling him a faggot ie a gay. Most men will be offended if called a wanker. 3. 1 stone = 14 lbs 4. The expression is can I help you luv....not love. Its cute. 5. In the 17th century, King Charles II of England intervened and established a standard ratio for tankards, called the “imperial pint,” which measured 568 milliliters. Henceforth, all pubs had to use this standard measurement when serving beer to their customers. In 1824, the British parliament replaced all the various gallons with a new imperial gallon based on ten pounds of distilled water at 62 °F (16.667 °C) (277.42 cubic inches), from which the current UK pint is derived. 6. Example of a comedian Christmas Song. Listen to Frank Kelly-Christmas Countdown (12 days to christmas) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLebeZqX1d2Rp30.html Have a good laugh. 7. We have both sweet and savoury puddings. Its usually something we have as a sweet desert, but not limited to a sweet desert ie we have sweet potato pudding which is a baked dish sort of like a very heavy dense sort of cake and its deliciousl. We also have a sticky toffee pudding to die for and there is our Yourkshire Pudding which we eat with roast beef and gravy or any other meat or poultry dish that has some gravy. Its delicious. It is somewhat vaguely similar to your American Biscuits and gravy ie eated with a savoury gravy and meat. 8. Delicious British Fish and Chips is traditionally eated with a Malt Vinegar and a sprinkle of salt. It's almost our national dish....joke... Curry sauce is a more recent addition to Fish and Chips and very tasty indeed. The inclusion of Curries etc came from the colonies ie India and other Asian Colonies. 9. St John is pronounces as I am trying to spell it as we pronounce it here. St John equates to Sin Jin I hope I have cleared up a few of the things in your video Tyler. Love all your videos

Americans don’t use the Imperial measurement system. Imperial refers to ‘Crown’. The US dumped the Crown hundreds of years ago. It uses the standard system. The two are different. Canada, however uses the metric system and it’s non-metric measures are Imperial as Canada never ditched the monarchy.

(16.04) Tyler "am I missing something". Maybe a couple of brain cells.,

There is a very good reason why Americans often don't like British food or think it's bland. Americans are all addicted to salt, sugar and chemicals, the produce in America is also completely tasteless so you need to add a crap ton of herbs and spices for it to taste good. British produce on the other hand is extremely tasty and doesn't need a bunch of herbs and spices to alter the taste. Americans are just not used to tasting the ingredients in their food. I'm a Brit who's been living in America for 15 years and I still can't get used to the lack of taste in their produce.

We do say Zed in the alphabet but say Zee zee top for the group 😊

Rather than adopting Imperial, America mangled the definition of the English wine gallon when creating US Customary Units (a dislike of pi, perhaps?), and then divided that by 8 to get the size of the US pint, and then divided that by 16 to get the size of a US fluid ounce. A US fluid ounce of water weighs about 4% more than an avoirdupois ounce, and about 4% more than an Imperial ounce. America knew the use of said gallon had already been outlawed throughout the Empire, including Canada, before they "invented" it. Side-note: Ounce and fluid ounce are derived from the Latin unit uncia (one twelfth), as is the inch. There were 12 ounces to the pound from Roman through to Saxon times. Everyone in the world uses Britain's 750 ml (75 cl) metric+Imperial wine bottle, though, so when Americans buy a half case of wine (a half dozen wine bottles) they are buying approximately 1 Imperial gallon of wine.

When changing to metric, you don't change the names of things. A pint is still a pint and we all know NEVER to mess arount with the beer. A UK pint is 568ml, that would have moved to 500ml and pissed people off, but the US pint is only 473ml. Cans of drink, UK 375ml - US 350ml 1 gallon, UK 4,546ml - 1 gallon, US 3,785ml. ........ thats why your fuel looks cheaper. priced at $ 1 per litre, US is 4 3.78 per gallon- UK is $ 4.54 per gallon. ever asked why a big drum is 53 US gallons - 44 UK gallons, becausr its 200L

I don't know about British culture the fact you've never heard of ZZ Top makes me think you need to catch up on American culture.

What a lot of people seem to have forgotten is that Yorkshire pudding is also a dessert. Just not so much these days

Puddings made for dessert can be boiled and steamed puddings, baked puddings, bread puddings, batter puddings, milk puddings or even jellies. however, Yorkshire pudding gets the second part of its name because centuries ago in England, puddings were a sausage-like meal that was not water-based and was solid.

Most of us in the UK now refer to dessert as pudding. So anything sweet that we eat after dinner.

We use the word pudding interchangeably So it can mean something like a bowl of ice cream or a Yorkshire pudding Which is a savory food used in stews, sundays dinners and other things like that I genuinely don't understand how you don't understand this concept

A pudding is a dish made with starch. A dessert is a dish made with fruit. There is overlap. Rhubarb is a fruit.

"Pudding" in the UK (and NZ) is a dessert dish. YUM!

Wanker isn't super offensive but it is far from polite. It honestly depends how you are using it and who you are using it with.

In the uk pudding can mean a number of things. 1. Savoury pudding will be hot food as part of a main meal. Think steak and kidney pudding or Yorkshire pudding. Usually made of suet or batter. 2. A specific kind of dessert usually like rice pudding or spotted dick. 3. A general term for dessert. As a child I may ask my mum. I finished my dinner what’s for pudding reason for using the word 'pudding' instead of dessert is actually based on the British class system. Traditionally, pudding referred to homely and rustic desserts that were commonly eaten by the lower classes, such as spotted dick and rice pudding. Nowadays not only have class lines become a little fuzzy but so have the dessert categories. Recipes that were originally eaten by the lower class have become new and fashionable. At the same time the upper class desserts are more attainable to everyday people. And so the lines between the word dessert and the word pudding became blurry. Now they basically mean the same thing.

What about steak and kidney pudding, Black Pudding, Yorkshire Pudding, Christmas Pudding, Rice Pudding and the list goes on!

A British pint is larger than an American pint, as is a British Gallon larger than an American. We also use miles for road distances, & happily mix & match the Imperial with the Metric systems. We also use both the 12 & 24 hour clock times, & have both Roman numerals as well as Arabic numbers on clock dials, with few problems. A Stone is an intermediate weight for weighing things like people which is easier to work with than multiple pounds. For instance, the average weight of a man is about 12 stones, we do not render this in pounds which would be 168 pounds. There are 14 pounds to a stone. The word pudding originally meant in old English any mixed food that is cooked, so covers a wide range food items. Wanker is very rude, as it means a person who self pleasures themselves because they cannot find a sexual partner. Luitenant is pronounced in Britain as it comes out of French & German.

The thing that chocked me the most in this video is that Tyler has never heard of ZZ Top.

You should know a pint is different in both countries, it's been mentioned in at least 1 vid ffs. Proves the negative comments are right and you never really pay attention. Oh and who gonna pay for the billions of glasses to be changed from 1pint glasses to 568ml glasses?

A tenant is someone left in charge of a thing. So to be left tenant is to be in charge... It is a rank that dates back to Rome. We randomly took the French spelling but even in French in means the same. Like in Lou... lou meant to remain or be left.

With reference to the invading place with spices. We bought some of them back with us and pretty much very town has a curry house.

Bangers and mash is sausages and mashed potato usually served with an onion gravy.

The surname 'St John' is pronounced 'Sinjun'. It's a bit like 'Featherstonehaugh' and 'Cholmondeley' (pronounced 'Fanshaw' and 'Chumley' respectvely). Wonderful!

No, we call them Zee Zee Top in the UK as well. We have Chinese, Indian, Thai, Jamaican and many other international restaurants and takeaways, as well as our national dishes - what has America given us, pop tarts and grits - lovely? American Lootenant sounds like someone who lives in a toilet (loo is a slang term for toilet here). We pronounce it '"leftenant" due to medieval spellings and pronunciation - we have history.

The US doesn't use Imperial. That's a common mistake. You use US Customary System. Both are derived from the older British Units (I think the Winchester Standards) and both were formalissed right around the same time. Imperial has more legacy baggage (that is rarely used) with things like "furlongs" (1/8 mile) or "leagues" for 3 miles, or smaller with a "barleycorn" (1/3 inch). USCS simplified a lot of things and took alternative values for other things (based on English inconsistencies), so our Imperial gallon is bigger than the US gallon. Americans calling their system Imperial is a secret British cultural win.

Hi Tyler. The American gallon is different to the British gallon, but when you come over here, you'll find that all gas stations these days work only with litres.!

One little thing is if "Shire" is added to the end of a word like "Yorkshire Pudding" pronounce the shire as Sha. Sounds weird otherwise.

I havnt been called petal for a long time, but I have had it from older folk in the past. I'll have to check Google to see if it's a regional thing.

The reason why people from the commonwealth say "lef-tenant" can be attributed to the U being misread as a V during the middle ages, which in turn developed into and F sound.

Pudding means the same a dessert in the U.K., we call pudding “Mousse” Also never heard anything savoury called a pudding, other than Yorkshire puddings 😛

UK didn't exit out of the Euro as it never had the euro while a member of the EU.

There's Yorkshire pudding ,,Christmas pudding ,,steak and kidney pudding , sweet pudding

We still pints in Australia as well, pretty sure the UK does the same thing. We've gone to the metric equivalent of an imperial pint, it might be metric but it's still a pint

I feel like this is the 2nd or 3rd video I've seen from Tyler where he expresses surprise about the word 'pudding'. Many of the other words here have been reacted to by him in previous videos as well. I think he needs new content in a hurry. One that I may or may not have seen before from him is "Pint", so here goes: The Imperial pint contains 20 British fluid oz each, whereas the American pint contains 16 US fluid oz. The Imperial pint is approximately 19.45% larger than the US pint, because there is also a slight difference between the British fluid ounce and the US fluid ounce which is just a wee bit larger.

In nottingham uk the well known saying is hey up ma duck .but the way its said is heyupmaduck its all said together

A stone is am english imperial weight measuring 14 pounds. Also Bangers and mash is a colloquium for Sausage and mash .

In the Uk , the generic term “Pudding” refers to a post main course food and is normally sweet. However there are specific foods that are described as pudding , Yorkshire pudding is a classic example , but there are also “ meat puddings as well .

"Semi-solid goo that you eat out of a cup", is more commonly known as mousse.

Lol a pint is an imperial measurement. We use both imperial and metric, we still use miles as the speed limit and distance. Most other countries use kilometres. I think using both is the better side of the argument as some measurements make sense due to the item in question

American things that confuse a British person..(me) Being able to buy a gun in a supermarket 😱🤬 Knowing that children in schools learn instructions on how to protect themselves and how to hide under their desks just incase there’s a “school shooter” on the premises 😱 Not able to work out 24 hour times 🤔 Some people being “scared” and showing genuine fear when sampling digestive biscuits; haggis; spotted dick; custard; blackcurrant juice because the “names” put them off! 😩 Very strange….

Oh, Lord, he had to look up whether or not pint is metric.

6:00 ugh, we never had unrestricted immigration from Europe even as members. EU citizens could enter freely but still had to present passports so if they turned out to be criminals we had a record of them entering, and anyone coming from Europe without EU citizenship would need a visa still. But regardless the US poster is basically describing what most Brexiteers wanted - ability to unilaterally opt out of EU border controls. Shame it's caused more hassle and cost than it ever solved.

At school we learned. 'A pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter' rhyming water and quarter. That is 20 fluid ounces. What did they teach you in America? Lieutenant. Lieu is French for place (pronounced in French as lee-ur). Tenant is a holder. So a Lieutenant is a place holder for a captain acting on behalf of the captain. A French soldier would address a lieutenant as 'mon lee-ur-ten-on' with a nasal 'n' and dropping the 't'). The English pronunciation comes from old French. Here's one for you to think about. A Steak and Kidney Pie is made with short pastry but a Steak and Kidney Pudding is made with suet pastry and I would serve both with chips and peas.

i’m just a typical, AAAAAAHVVridge american, here today to REAAAAAHHHHHKHct. his voice goes straight through me.
