When the american girl said "When i hear chemist i think of like a scientist" Thats exactly why we (uk) call it a chemist, because in the olden days they used to make the medice right there in the store, they would mix the ingredients and compress them in a pill machine. Everything was made to order. so the person who made them was an actual chemist, they needed to know how to mix the different chemicals. But in more recent times we also call it a pharmacy, just due to the fact that most of the younger generations (2,000's and up) use a lot of americanisms from watching a lot of american tv shows and films

Aussie here (but living in UK). Maybe it’s a generational thing or a regional thing, but I’ve always called it a chemist in Australia, I really only started saying pharmacy in the UK and call it a chemist when I’m in Aus. I would call athletic shoes, runners. Sneakers for like your everyday shoes you don’t exercise in, and runners for the ones you do (but also just calling all sneaker type shoes sneakers or runners). Thong underwear is called a g-string that’s how you differentiate between a thong for your foot and the underwear.

As an Australian, I would just like to say, that most Ozzies would call a "drug store" a Chemist! only sometimes a pharmacy! What you call candy is called Lollies here, which refers to all types of lollies not just jelly lollies, but we don't include chocolate in the lollie category, it's separate, it's just called chocolate!- And what you call a thong is called a G-string here! so then there is no confusion between your feet and your arse! hahaha

Australian here and have been watching you for over a year. Keep up the great work, especially with Anna. Australia does have many similarities to the US but probably more to the UK. We have absorbed many things from many different cultures. It is often said that we are similar countries separated by a common language.

I don't know if it's entirely accurate to say that in the UK we all call what was shown chips, these days I feel like a lot of us call would call those fries because chips are chunkier than that, fish and chip shops sell chips, not fries, mcdonalds sells fries not chips, and to be fair, given her hesitation, I feel like she wanted to say that too but realised it was obviously set up for her to say chips lol

I always use 'chips' even when referring to 'french fries'. It's the same with 'Mac n Cheese', I'll always use 'macaroni cheese'. Until about 10 years ago, nobody in Britain said 'mac n cheese'. Tbh, I'm fed up with the gradual Americanisation of our language and culture. It's our language and we've always been a cultural powerhouse. It's about time British youth stopped aping all things American and started thinking for themselves again. :)

In South Africa we also call both crisps and chips/fries "chips"; but to differentiate, we call the hot ones/fries "slaptjips" (pronounced "slup-chips") because ours are thick and "slap", which means limp or floppy. :) And we call cotton candy either candy floss, like the Brits, or "spookasem", which means ghost breath!

Linguistic evolution seems to be happening quicker through social media. In the UK, we never used to hear 'drug through the mud', it would always be 'dragged'. But, I have heard a few younger people use 'drug' recently, so it's obviously slowly becoming accepted in the UK too.

I think that Pharmacy is becoming the more common name in the UK rather than Chemist. It always used to be Chemist, but I think as some of the bigger chains put the smaller independent chemists out of business, the word pharmacy has taken over. The largest is called Boots, and it always used to be called "Boots the Chemist", but they dropped "the Chemist" from their name and these days they describe themselves as a pharmacy. They are probably more like US Pharmacies, so you can buy make-up, toys, gifts, sandwiches, snacks, drinks etc., as well as medicine and healthcare items.

Those aren’t chips, I’m British, those are skinny sticks of fried potato, those are Fries... chips are cut thicker... so here in England we have McDonalds/KFC/Burger King serving Fries, the chippy sells chips, the thin slices of potatoes fried, crispy & sold in a bag of varied flavours is Crisps. So here in the UK we have Chips, Fries and Crisps, they’re all fried potatoes but entirely different.

[ UK over 50, thinks why ask millennial's!? ] I would also call those French Fries. It is down to thickness. It there is no soft middle it's not a chip! 'Flip Flop' is from a brand, hence the US and UK agreeing. Which is technically a sandal in 'English'. Track-suit bottoms would be of old. 'butty' means literally buttered bread. A 'burger' is not a true sandwich in the UK due to the lack of butter, we call them 'burgers' no matter what McD's put on their menus! On the chemist thing, our chemists DID have to make their own medicines [ press pills, makes tinctures etc ], hence the name stuck. The picture of 'sweets' includes lollys or lolly-pops. [ anything sweet on a stick is either a lolly-pop or an ice-cream in the UK ]

Hello from The Atherton Tablelands, Far North Queensland. It's up a mountain range behind Cairns (which is pronounced like cans of drink). Life in Cairns is like living in a sauna. Without air-conditioning it's a form of cruel and unusual punishment. Up in the mountains we have a much cooler climate. We also have rainforests, waterfalls and rolling green hills. There plenty of places to see and things to do. But if you're visiting I'd recommend hiring a car. Because as a country area public transportation isn't the best. Also because it's a popular tourist destination, book ahead. But as Aussies the locals are friendly and we love our tourists, especially international ones. Also when people mispronounce Brisbane as Bris-Bane it grates on people's nerves. Like nails on a chalkboard (blackboard). It's not the bane of our existence, just call it Brissie like the locals. I was born in Brissie and lived there until I was 13. While it's true that you can buy alcohol at our pharmacies, they do sell our favourite jelly beans. Star burst did try selling their's in Australia, but they failed miserably. We call that type of underwear a G-string. Also, no matter what type of meat you is in it's still just a burger. We'd only call it a chicken sandwich if it was between two slices of bread.

Pictures comes from the early days of video, Moving Pictures, I think that's were Movies comes from as well. Why do Americans say "I saw Spiderman in theatres"? Why is it plural? How many theatres did you see it in?!!. 9:18 - Phone or Mobile.......the other is house phone or landline 10:24 Isn't a Trolley a Tram in the US? Why does she called it an above ground train? I'm thinking San Fransisco trams, a single carriage on tracks. I could be wrong. 11:55 - We say fringe. The reason you say bangs is because if you cut a horses tail straight across it's called a Bang Tail. Someone on Reddit told me that a few months ago and it's the only explanation that makes sense.

The chips thing depends on how old you are and where you live. I have rarely heard them called hot chips but I am also not surprised if they are called that. When I lived in China we put photos of potato chips and potato crisps (the thin slice) on the menu so people could point to what they wanted. I just called them by their Chinese name as that wasn't confusing at all.

The Royal Navy has picked up much vernacular and transported it to far flung places. Sweets, candy and lollies in the RN are called nutty. Lolly is a term to describe condensed soup. So condensed it is hard. Stores for years. Mixed with water, it makes a broth fed to sick and injured sailors. By a surgeons assistant called a Loblolly boy. I can imagine this going to Australia with the convict ships and over time evolving.

It's interesting how the young UK lady describes 'petrol station'. I'd have said it was a 'filling station'. Also, the cinema one - in Scotland it's often referred lo as "the pictures". I call McDonalds tasteless, and a waste of good money, myself...

Aussie would call the knickers G-string not a thong. My understanding the term thongs is accurate to the definition of the origin of the word thong. Lollies is the all encompassing term used commonly. If you were being super specific the hard boiled are candies sugar or candy and soft might be called jellies. Chocolates can also be included when being broad.

Late to the party again but I've just recently found your channel and am catching up on videos. The term thongs for flip flops is probably a generational thing in the US. In the 60s we also called them thongs. Then when the under garments known as thongs came along, they began to be called flip flops. That's all I call them now. Sandwiches, at least in my area, are called sammies. Also, I think it's pretty standard just about everywhere in the US to call a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich a BLT.

In the UK, the word “pharmacy” is also used, but “chemist” is probably more correct because very few pharmacies only sell medicines. The “pharmacy” is usually only a closed-off part of the shop from which a pharmacist or assistant will dispense medicines. Historically, if you needed not only pharmaceutical chemicals, but other types of raw chemicals and chemical products (e.g. ammonia, photographic chemicals, and pesticides), you would go to “the chemist” to buy them. That name stuck. Up to about fifty years ago, many independent chemist's shops would make their own medicines on the premises from the raw ingredients and put them on sale.

Technically British English is at least 3 different forms of English. You have obviously English that is spoken in England, Ulster English that is spoken in Scotland and Cornish English that is spoken in Cornwall, England. The main differences between these forms of English are mainly differences in words and influences e.g. Cornwall has more Celtic influence than the rest of England and Scotland has little to no Norman influence as the Normans never conquered Scotland.

I don't know if you heard about this but Americas oldest whisky originated in Wales, a recipe identical to the world’s best-selling whiskey was discovered in a dusty old book in Llanelli in 2012. Businessman Mark Evans, 54, was researching his family history when he discovered the recipe in a book of herbal remedies. It was written in 1853 by his great-great grandmother who was called Daniels and was a local herbalist in Llanelli, South Wales There's more to the story but it appears it wasn't an original recipe but was taken to America by his great grandfather after divorcing his grandmother and was produced 3 year later by the grandson, the company denounce these findings

As a Brit, I feel like "pharmacy" is more often used these days, as opposed to "chemist". That's quite old fashioned. "Chips" is reserved for actual chips, thick chips, what was shown would also be called "fries" over here. And a sandwich is also called a "butty", as well as what she said. There are multiple names for a sandwich, depending on where you are in the UK. I, personally, would say "butty" before the word "sarnie" would come to mind.
