I would add that America's tipping culture is really not a nice gesture, but more a necessity due to it being legal to pay service staff under minimum wage.

"Runners" is so much more sensible, isn't it? "Hey, I might need to go for a run" vs. "Hey, I might need to play tennis in these"

In Dublin we call a push chair a buggy! and a you give a baby a soother (pacifier).

A comforter is something babies have (can be a blanket, a Teddy ect) something that comforts a baby when crying or sleeping

We have stag parties in Pennsylvania. The stag party is when you and your guy friends get together for drinks, food, and give some cash or a gift to the bachelor. A bachelor party is when you get blackout fucked up in New Orleans and wake up and take shots of penicillin.

For me a shop is a small store, and a store is a big corporate place to shop. Like Macy's or Target are stores and my favorite local retail businesses are shops. You know, like the local gift shop or book shop

This was very informative Amy! I was surprised I knew some of the similarities. Aldi’s has that shopping cart system you enter a quarter and get it back when you return the shopping cart. You two are just soooo adorable together! 🥰🎊✨😃🎉🎊✨😃🥰

The "runners" "tennis shoes/sneakers" England call it Trainers. SO many similarities with Ireland but there's some differences

We can certainly learn from each other’s cultures. I believe the word ‘holiday’ comes from holy days. Like Christmas, Easter and the like. At one time these were the only periods that were given as breaks from work. But over the years more time was allowed and this period also was called ‘holiday’

You guys are awesome. Love these videos with you two. Looking forwards to seeing more. In Australia we call these: * Aluminium is how Amy pronounced it. * Paper towels. * Nappy not diaper. * It’s not pacifier it’s a dummy. * Quilt or Doona not comforter. * It’s a shopping centre and a cinema. * It’s a pram or stroller for older children. * Tablet or pill depending on what you’re taking. * Vitamin is how Ashton pronounced it. * Going to the shop. * Candy is lollies. * We have 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 coin and $2 coin. Then $5 note, $10 note, $20 note, $50 note and $100 note. All different size notes and coins. Coins are silver and $1 and $2 are gold. All notes are plastic not paper. * Holiday not vacation. School holidays. Christmas holidays. Public holidays. Going on a holiday. * old tradition was Christmas tree and decorations up 12 days before and down 12 days after Christmas. My tradition is beginning December til early January. * Bucks night and hen party. *. It’s not a prom..it’s a school ball. * Lift or elevator. * Ground floor in Australia too. * Sneakers or runners. * Badminton is how Amy pronounced it. * Emergency Department at the hospital. * Toilet or bathroom. * Trolley in the shops. People leave the trolleys everywhere too. Including in the side of your car. Most shops let you use trolleys for free. We do have trolley bays to put the trolleys in but people are ignorant. * It’s a bill not a cheque. Check means correct not a paper written cheque.

I grew up in NYC. For me, Thanksigiving started with the Macy's T'giving Day Parade. Literally when Santa Claus comes to town because he would close every parade. After that, it's Christmas season. While everyone was there, for t'giving, some people would cook the Turkey Dinner, and others would begin putting up Christmas decorations. We tried to finish by the time the Football games started, if not, we decorated while we watched. Turkey naps never happened in my home during t'giving.

Sorry I missed the premiere. You two have an amazing rapport ♥️♥️♥️ Love your videos ♥️

We also have the dollar system for shopping carts in Canada. You put it in to unlock and when you bring it back, you get your dollar back.

A comforter is more fluffy than a quilt & can be used in a duvet cover. I agree that quilts are a handmade or sewn item. Euros are different sizes which makes it easy to know by feel which bills or coins (different edges) values, makes life easier on those with sight impairment. I used to live in SoCal, there are ALDI’s there now. You’ll need a quarter for the locking shopping cart or buggy if you’re in the south. Things are called different names depending on what part of the USA you are in.

Absolutely love this!! Y'all both ROCK so much...🤘🤘 Thank y'all so much, for the smiles, from this Texas/Irish blooded FELLA! ❤❤

It's always been shopping cart for me. And the smaller basket I just call hand basket. Lol. Loved these video's. Looking forward to more! :)

One of the words we use in UK is a ladies hand bag is not a purse in America and a ladies wallet is a ladies purse in UK.

According to my dad, some stores in America have the shopping cart you put a coin in. Only a few stores have this.

You guys are so adorable! I love your videos! Besides being humorous, these videos are very educational! I'm learning a lot about a different culture and having a blast! Thanks for always making me smile! I love you guys! :)

Another fantastic video I love it

We have the same “trolley” system at our Aldi stores here with the coin. I like it, except when when I forget to bring a quarter!

A lot of people in Ireland now put their Christmas tree up the day before the late late toy show

I was waiting for the aluminum/aluminium argument lol. I had that debate with an Australian friend of mine. A shopping cart is the thing you push on wheels. Shopping basket is like Amy said, the smaller thing that you carry. The meaning of basket is the same everywhere else, so why would it change in a grocery store? People in the South call it a "buggy" and it drives me nuts lol. For the shopping carts that are coin-locked, they actually use those at Ruler (Kroger) and Aldi stores.

You guys are soooo cute.....my parents and sister were born in Monaghan an they laughed at this..good craic! We moved to the South Bronx and lets just say we talk VERY DIFFERENTLY THAN my Irish cousins.....

I love these videos never stop making these. 😅

Cool thing about Christmas is that traditionally it’s a whole season that starts on the 24th and goes through January 13th so you’re still going strong long after everyone else is back to the hum-drum of boring regular life

This made me smile so much 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been on grafton street several times when I have been to Ireland so I’d agree that is as close to a strip mall as you can get since their buildings are old school in compared to Canada and the USA. I have paid for things in change especially if it’s less than $5 for businesses sometimes like change. I tip based on how many times the server come to refill my drink, the speed of service especially when it’s slow in the restaurant and if they see how my food is, etc.. Some people say holidays and some say vacation, and yes a holiday is considered Easter, thanksgiving etc. First time I heard lift was in Dublin and some places use M for main floor in apartments or business towers. The loo, the John, or the military calls it the head. The dollar cart system is actually around in Canada but at times some places have got rid of it but then years later some businesses have brought it back but Some people have been able to break the dollar out without using the chain. I’m glad to see these videos with you and Ashton since Ashton has been very busy at the office and we haven’t had much of both of y’all together. Hope to see more as it’s always fun to watch, much love and admiration, cheers.

I soooooo want to hang out with you guys for like a month just walking around asking you "what's this called?" I absolutely love Languages and cultures, so learning differences is like going to Disneyland for me! And then we can discuss the term differences by generations! 🤗🥳 you guys are adorable.

There are stores at least in Pittsburgh where you need to put a quarter in the cart (or buggy as we call it) in order to use it. Includes a chain. Apparently the main store I'm thinking of is a German owned company though so that might be why.

How about pram as literal. It's an abbreviation of perambulator, literally a stroller.

As a Canadian I love to see which version I use here. Its a decent mix of the two. I use runners and ask for the bill at the end of a meal. Love this. Thanks for the laughs

I love these because I know most of the back and forth, and can see why some make more sense in America and some make more sense in Ireland. Also, in the shopping cart/shopping trolley debate, it wasn't mentioned, but in my area (New England) they're called carriages. People look at you like you're nuts if you call them shopping carts.

I would say quilt is different than a blanket which is different than a comforter. Quilting is a very specific way of sewing fabric together that makes it different. Comforters have insulating material in them that blankets don't.

All servers do not get paid minimum wage in the US - when I was a server we were paid much lower than min wage and survived almost solely off tips. It's one of the few jobs that can legally get away with this for some reason (in many states)

Aldi's grocery store , I think it originated in Germany , uses the euro trolley system you were talking about with US quarter coins .

I don't know when they started calling it a "Bachelor Party" and "Bachelorette Party". But in the 80's it was still called a "Stag Party" in the USA! (Oh, at Aldi's we do have the coin push to get a shopping cart and when you return it, you get your quarter back.)

You guys are hilarious 🤣. And adorable 😊

A pill comes in different forms like a tablet or a capsule etc. Holiday means Holy Day which is why it's not used for going on trips or time off of work. In America we have a ground floor sometimes, it's usually the parking garage floor of a large building.

We have Aldi here in America, and they have that shipping cart system, but it takes a quarter. IDK if it is all over America, but we have it here on the east coast.

i had a professor in college that's from Sweden and he said vitamin the same way as Amy!

There are some stores here in new york where it's exactly the same as Ireland. Put a quarter in, get your cart. Put the cart back, get your quarter back lol

You may like to take a trip to Canada at some point, our bills (all different colour though the same size) start at 5, and we have 1 & 2 dollar coins. As such we also have the same system with our shopping carts.

Shopping buggy. The chain and coin system is what Aldi grocery store does

When she was talking about shopping trolleys and getting the dollar coin back that’s the system here in oz .

@21:50 - during the almost eight years that my wife and I lived in Belgium (1998-2006) we quickly figured out the shopping cart system they have, and the local grocery store even gave us one of their brand of coins to use in the cart, so you wouldn’t actually be forced to use real currency. That was also the first place where we bagged our own groceries, and where we had thick plastic reusable bags.

15:00 I know a lot of people who put up their decorations for the toy show or somewhere around that but for me it’s between the 1st and the 8th of December

Love you Amy and ash

I mean, we do say pizza shop, soda shop, butcher shop, service shop etc.. However for merchandise we would say store. I've heard stag party use here in place of a bachelor party, but don't know in what context you'd use one over the other. For us runners are pieces of rug/carpet. Aldi has the whole coin system for their shopping carts.

There is a store chain, called Aldi, that uses the coin system to get the shopping cart (or trolley, or buggie if you're in the Southern U.S.).

OMG, what I wouldn't give to spend like a week with Amy! I wouldn't say a word, I would just sit and listen to her accent! I did Irish dancing for 3 years here in Minnesota and I recognize the tune you have playing in the background during the whole video, but what's the actual name of it? I am part Irish and I actually prefer that heritage of mine over the other three (German, English and French). However, I do NOT drink! Never have and never will so that doesn't make me Irish in the least! I would love to go to Ireland someday and just sit on a street corner and listen to them talk like all day! Maybe at the Temple Bar in Dublin would be cool cause then I could wave to the world on EarthCam cause they have a live camera outside the Temple Bar and it's SO fun watching those people...especially on St. Patrick's Day! Those folks are NUTS!!!!

The retail building is called a shop, hence the verb shopping. If it was a store, you would say you're going storing.

I’m from Pennsylvania and we for sure used to have a store that you had to put in a quarter in order to use the shopping cart. I can’t remember which store it was though but I also think that is a great idea because I can not stand when people leave their carts in the parking spots! Especially at places like Walmart where the parking lot is almost always fully packed!!

In NJ, we’ve recently been introduced to the deposit for a cart system, because Aldi is here now. And we call it the bathroom here. :-) As an American guy familiar with a Mayo woman myself, I’m enjoying your videos a lot! :-)

Pram is short for perambulator, which means to stroll etc.

Hysterical guys! It's a duvet, actually! And yes, tell hubby that it is a pram!

I have heard some people call it the craper. Here in the south we call it a buggy we have a grocery store here it is Aldi it cost 25 cents.

I just now in my 30s realized Ireland is pronouncing it correctly. I always spelled it badmitten and its really spelt badminton, so we are saying it wrong. And aldis does the coin thing with carts and every one complains about it.

There are shopping centers in the US that use the coin system to get your cart or trolley.

Amy, at our prom some of the girls in my year arrived in a FIRE ENGINE.... lol hahaha

Try buggy for shopping cart. It’s a New England term

I'm Irish and my family would usually put up the Christmas decorations like two weeks and then the decorations come down on the 6th on Nollaig na mBan

Notes are different sizes so it make identifying them easier for blind people, like wise coins are different sizes and the edges have different grooves. Also we called prom a graduation or grad ball where I'm from in Ireland. Also strip mall would be closer to a retail park I think. You find them in suburban area not city center. Grafton Street etc are just shopping streets.

A quilt and a blanket and a comforter are all different things. A blanket is a solid piece of fabric, no pieces, just one solid sheet of fuzzy fabric. A quilt has a sheet of batting in between two layers of fabric which has been pieced together and stitching that makes a design and the stitching goes all the way thru all layers of batting and fabri, and takes tons of money and time to create. A comforter is a fluffy stuffed bed covering, which I’d much thicker than both a quilt and a blanket. Sorry I am a quilter and it is an insult to call a quilt a blanket. Keep bringing all this fun

I used to be a cart getter a lifetime ago and I have heard them all the rare one I only heard two or three times was wagon Yep Trolly, cart, buggy are mostly normal but wagon?

I use a lot of the same words as Amy could be because I’m of Irish descent or just the words cross the pond so to speak plus I’ve got Irish family still in Ireland 🇮🇪

I worked in restaurants when I was younger and I found that when I had to serve Americans,they never tipped because they knew it was not expected.

Actually there is a store called Aldis in some parts of America that you put a quarter in to get your shopping cart

Dollars are a nightmare for anyone with impaired vision. Euros are much easier to use, because even the coins have distinctive sizes and ridges that tell blind people what value each coin has. The US just doesn't make an effort for accessibility. It's one of the advantages of Euros being a relatively recent money. It's only 20 years old after all.

the first time I heard aluminum pronounced in Canada I was taken aback. then I paid attention to how it is spelled. the "English pronunciation" actually makes more sense.

Holiday yep

Different sized bank notes are better if you are visually impaired as you can more easily identify the different denominations

another one for dummy is a soother, that's what I grew up calling it, and another one for push chair is a buggy

pill => In hungarian we say Tabletta, similar to Tablet in Ireland. :O

It the south the “shopping cart “ is a buggy!

I’m from Newfoundland and for pacifier we say “dumb tit” !!! Very literal!

You have get a tablet from the chemist! That really confused me on my first trip to the UK, because the name for the job I had was "chemist" but that isn't what they think of as a chemist there. The "first floor/ground floor" thing was confusing too, but I was glad to know it before I got there! Does the 13th floor skipping happen in Ireland for hotels? I never stayed anywhere that was that tall, so I never thought to check. The talk about tipping is so true. I think it encourages people to do a good job if they know they can get a little extra money for doing it. There aren't many jobs where that is true other than the service industry. Yesterday, I went out to a tea shop (my first chance to have a restaurant experience in the last 3 months here in Northern California). I was so happy to be there and they were so happy to be working that I gave her a 50% tip! I will certainly never forget it under the circumstances! Normally though, Ashton's rule of doubling the tax is a pretty good one. I'm glad you are enjoying Thanksgiving. I love it. It is like Christmas without the stress of doing presents. I pronounce "badminton" like you do. I had a professor in college that played and he said it that way too. Maybe it's different here on the East and West coasts? These are super fun videos, but they are also really helpful when visiting other places. It reminds us to be aware that words don't mean the same thing everywhere!

What about soother for dummy in ireland? I think strollers are used in ireland too.

I told my American friend that i won a hamper in school and they were so confused and we went back and forth until I realised and asked what is a hamper to you? And they said like a laundry hamper right and I was laughing so hard and said, to us it's what we call a gift basket

Aldi markets have the coin system for shopping carts.

Amy, I think you would find more similarities between Irish and Canadian language, not just the words but also the spellings. 😊💚

There is aldi stores in the usa that do that coin and shopping carts.

The US version of “aluminum “ came first

ALDI grocery stores have those bascarts that you put a coin in and get it back when you return it.

Y'all are so cute together

In uk and e would tip taxi drivers and had person in pub.

@4:45 naw not like Grafton Street! Grafton Street is fancy compared to a strip mall. A strip mall is like a one story bank of shop fronts wer u go in to run an errand like stop at the CVS, or for a mani pedi, while ur pooch is at the groomers next door. And get Chinese takeout. Since parking is like 20-30 cars max, u r not dealing w having to look for ur car like me🤔🤦‍♀️😂

In uk we would tip taxi drivers and had person in pub.

Are there self checkouts in American stores, malls, etc.. ie where a customer bypasses the cashier, and scans bought items themselves, then puts money in appropriate slot?

I like how Americans keep saying there was is correct when they use the English language. When the English language is older therfore correct.

I AGREE WE SHOULD HAVE THE SHOPPING CART SYSTEM YOU HAVE IN IRELAND, BECAUSE THERE IN THE WAY ALL THE TIME!!!

Aldi store is only place i know that uses coin for the cart.

jayz, in yorkshire its nappies and dummy or dodi........up Gaillimh!

We had one christmas yes but what about a second christmas?

a toilet in yorkshire is called the bog

We put them up for the toy show

We have debutante balls here but it’s mostly a southern thing

Look up “Adam ruins everything tipping”and you’ll understand the history of how and why we started and continue to tip in America. It’s sad really

I call it a pram or a pushie and a doddy and nappy I'm from Dundalk!

Hey Ashton
