It’s called English for a reason

'exactly you are just simpler people' 😂😂😂😂😂

I really want to see Americans react to Come Dine With Me. Purely to see their reaction to the narrator's one liners.

The Americans were criticising the term "Bum Bag" as being illogical and weird, yet their own word for it means the *exact same thing.* In the US "Fanny" means your butt; so they are literally calling it a "butt pack". When these items were first introduced, they were designed to be worn with the bag at the back (especially when jogging etc.) so it really was over your bum / butt.

English was spoken by the English people in England! God bless the UK 🇬🇧

Gilet - said no Brit ever. It's a body warmer.

A dummy is called that because the original meaning of the word “Dumb” is the inability to make sound. So putting a dummy in a child’s mouth to stop them making the “crying sound” makes total sense.

It's called English for a reason...not American lol

Let's all pretend that we haven't seen this almost exact video before 😉😉

Okay, let’s see the dictionary shall we: English; adjective relating to England or its people or language. Problem solved. I rest my case. Next.

That's a body warmer!

I would never call it a gilet, i would say it was a bodywarmer and I am British.

no one calls that a Gillet or whatever they said, it's a Body Warmer or a sleeveless puffer jacket

When they say “it’s french” do they not realise English derived from french and other languages? You know, like how most languages evolve from other ones?

Karen: "why are you using a French word?" Karen 5 minutes later "we call it a pacifier"

the reason some of the words are french is because when the normans invaded they brought their words over with them so they are now in the modern language today

What kind of question is this, obviously British people speak proper English.

As an Australian, we borrow from British English alot more than American English💯 but like the "lollipop lady" took me tf out💀

Apparently "skip" comes from the old Norse for basket. I like that every time we use this everyday word we're reconnecting to our ancestors.

It’s literally in the name ENGLISH from ENGLAND

The lollipop lady saved my life so many times 😂

Hundreds and thousands are the ball sprinkles. They're a type of sprinkle. The ones they showed are not them

Egg plants look nothing like eggs, different shape, different colour, different texture, in fact anything that looks less than an egg is difficult to think off. Not that I'm biased you understand. 😜

She says get your own words Get your own language and she says we copy the French when zucchini is Italian and are first king was French

“It could just be called English and American now.” Not really, because while Canada May use the British spelling, we usually use the American words.

I'm American and I never heard the word scallions before.🤨 I live in the south and we just call them green onions. 😂

The more objective way of deciding is simply just asking the french

Americans - "aubergine is french you can't steal words from the French" Also Americans - use an entire language that isn't theirs 😝😝😝😝

I mean it's in the name guys "English"! Obviously the English speak proper English, it was after all the English who went to America to start colonies.

It’s called a lollipop lady because the stick looks like a lollipop 🍭

When I was younger, I didn’t even know what an eraser was. 😂🤣

Fun fact: Skip comes from the old word Sceppe which is to describe a basket-like container, which skips are when lifted with chains. Dumpsters are usually the huge metal/plastic bins on wheels with lids.

This shows how competitive the British community is

The french words I think came from when the normans invaded and the more higher you were in English society you would adapt to using french words since they were considered the most polite.

You know what would be intresting, finding an etymologyist or lingustic expert to explain the orgins and the diffirentiation of these words

Hilarious! Really cheered me up while I was working on my spreadsheets. LOL.

"That's French" Mate you can't even COMPREHEND our history, the French invade and changed our language whereas America just adopted and this one guy dumbed it down.

OMG "Pacifier" sounds so evil XD

"BuT yOu doN'T spEaK FrEncH" does he realise English is from mostly German and French, such as we still say words like Deja vu. ahha

I mean.... We come from ENGland and speak ENGlish yet apparently, according to Americans, English people are speaking English wrong. Lmao, what? Just admit it’s OUR language, it’s not that hard😂

Hundreds and millions is stupid I live in England and it’s called sprinkles and a gillet is a body warmer

Northern Ireland (UK) we call them scallions. We are forced to call them Spring Onions because of English supermarkets Tesco and Asda.

It’s a Celtic language… The British invented English, so Brits speak it properly🤷🏻‍♂️

3:15 this guy is saying British people stole from the french and got lazy, WHEN AMERICANS STOLE THEIR ENTIRE LANGUAGE LMAO

Fun fact: both the British and the colonists both had a rhotic accent (meaning they pronounced their r’s) but the the British nobles changed their accent to show status and it then became the common British accent, while the American colonists kept the original pronunciations

A pacifier sounds like a form of torture

English is proper English. American English is not wrong, it's just different dialect of English. That's fine. But it's just insulting when some of you Americans insist that your dialect is the only way to speak English.

I'm British, and as much as I love all these guys, I am a but ashamed of their lack of knowledge of etymology.... But maybe it's only me that's always been fascinated by the origin of words 👐🏼😅 #geekingout For example, Spring Onions = because they are picked first/earlier in the year before they grow into big onions. Aubergine = French indeed because we were ruled by the French (the Normans) at one long point in history so the language (just like the Germanic & Latin languages via previous conquerors) was assimilated into our language: English is therefore made up from several different languages, including original old English to form a very varied, often beautiful and equally confusing language that is still evolving and absorbing other languages today. 😂Well, it interests me anyway

"Spaniards vs Mexicans: Who speaks better Spanish?"

They should’ve had more Americans from different regions. I’ve heard sprinkles called jimmies. Or like paper clips are called jimmy clips or gem clips

You can really hear the “we got ruled by a French people for a long time” in the UKs words

please don’t tell me i’m the only one that called a gilet a jerkin i think my mum was a bit nuts

Americans get confused because they don't watch Brit TV like we do USA so we know the american versions usually but they never know the UK version

For those of you that don't know, 2/3rd of English words are derived from French. So blaming them for borrowing their is a funny thing to do.

I use to think that Americans spoke better and correct English. I was 18 and got a chance to test this. I went to England for a week. I met an English person in a pub and had the language debate. He said something that forever had me wave a white flag in defeat to the British. This is what he said. "We can't be wrong, because we invented the language." Me: 🏳🏳🏳

Funny how you question about the french word when you use Italians such as zucchini and cilantro 😂 the English language originated in England and was spoken by your ancestors and English people way before America was found so put respect on 🇬🇧

You guys be saying "get your own word for aubergine" Stfu you guys be saying cilantro 😂😂😂

I just like how much fun they have with these

Technically speaking whatever the official language of England is, is proper English

Aaaaaah I be using both

All the Americans going on about aubergine being french when they got “filet minon” or whatever

Arugula is actually an American English word that wants to sound Italian but it’s not, the Italian word is rucola

1st round: Aubergine - Eggplant The American : Why don't you get your own word, Aubergine is French 2nd round: Trousers - Pants Me : Man you can't be that ignorant. Pant is derived from French word 'pantalon'

Brits, the Americans ruined it.

since the USA is a a superpower and influences a lot of the world most so people who speaks English from other countries where English isn't the native language learn "American english" I'm from South East Asia and English is a subject in school and we pretty much just learn "American English" even TV cartoons would be "American English" which is why I understand the reactions of the Americans here

Scallions is used in ireland

Aubergine is part of the English language because we were conquered by The Norman's who were french hence we have french words in the English language.

A dummy makes perfect sense. "Dummy" can mean "a substitute for the real thing", and in the case of a dummy for a baby it refers to it being a substitute for the mother's teat.

It's kind of funny reading the comments about how Americans stole the English language like the British are the ones that came up with the origination of all the words that are spoken in the English language. There are plenty of reasons that many of the words we use are inspired by other languages and small differences in the way we say certain words doesn't mean one is "proper or improper". It's just regional like how even in the US different areas of the US even use different words for the same things like : Buggy or Cart, Sled or Toboggan, Soda or Pop... I'm sure that you all have instances of this as well.

I loved this debate made me laugh so hard!!

So, where are the results??? I keep waiting for an answer.

Its a body warmer not a gila or how ever its spelt

Erm it's our language so that automatically makes our way the correct way. Period. 🇬🇧

A bloke goes up to an ice cream van and asks for a 99. The guy puts the flake in the cornet and says "Do you want hundreds and thousands". The bloke replies "If it's all right with you I'll just start with the one"

We use French words because one of our monarchs, William the conqueror was Norman (french) and brought over the language and over time it became part of out language

I love seeing all the salty brits in the chat, it makes me laugh lmao

Imagine being American though, why are they so serious about words😂 “BUt WhY iS It cAllEd ThAT?”

spring onion and scallion, in most Caribbean households use both

From Old Norse skeppa, 'basket'. Noun skip (plural skips) English Wikipedia has an article on: skip (Australia, New Zealand, Britain) A large open-topped container for waste, designed to be lifted onto the back of a truck to remove it along with its contents. (see also skep).

I'm from the UK and I honestly sometimes say some american words for things like 'hood', 'pacifier' and 'eggplant'.

Never heard anyone call a body warmer a jilet (or whatever they called it)

In Australia, we're like 50/50 between these two

Can we remember that English has part of the word England in it. We don’t have to add a word to show what strand of the language we speak. We just speak English they speak American English.

Hundreds and Thousands is a type of sprinkle..

I’ve learnt both English sometimes I get them mixed 😩😩

American: simplified British: fancy

As an American I will admit we use the term cookie as an all inclusive term, however one of our more prolific cookie manufacturers is Nabisco. A shortened form of their full name The National Biscuit Company. The eggplant/aubergine discussion made me laugh. Britt: "It's French." American: "You don't speak French.". The funny thing is that English is a composite language taking from the Ancient Anglo (Nordic), French, Old Germanic, Greek and Latin. So using a few French words here and there is not at all surprising. The Bonnet/Hood debate is outrageous as both are words for head coverings and in this sense they are both covering the engine. The trunk however is the correct term since early autos and old horse drawn coaches had an actual trunk secured to the back to carry extras.

Ngl as a brit myself I've always called it sprinkles be honest as the younger gen who acc says hunds and thous

Biscuits and cookies are two different things tho 😭

I like the argument over the waistbag :))

They speak our language. Learn that.

I say English English considering America does not have an official language

Their arrogance makes me so angry!

As an American, I dont agree with the beer one in the beginning. I always thought that was just called clinking glasses.

Lollipop lady is called a lollipop lady bc the stick they hold looks like a lollipop and lollipop lady’s are normally for kids.

Am I the only English person that says "sprinkles" and not "100s and 1000s". Like who tf says that😭😂😭😂

I love how Americans think there right, but their language originated from English therefore isn’t original and correct English

Americans speak American and English people speak English.

I like the content but the music is so loud....smh..lol.. I just cant. Three vids in..I have a budding headache so I gotta bounce. ✊🏽✊🏻✊🏿
