Either "couch" or "sofa" can be used in US 🇺🇲, UK 🇬🇧 and Canada 🇨🇦 , but also in other countries like Australia 🇭🇲 or New Zealand 🇳🇿

In the midwest (Indiana and surrounding states in the 70s, 80's, and 90's) we used 'hang a Louie' (left), 'hang a Ralph' (right), or just plain 'Sam' (for straight). Also as mentioned below we had ones for U-Turns that were 'flip a 'u-ie' or 'flip a bitch'. And of course if anyone ever said to go 'straight', everyone would always chime in with 'always go forward; never go straight!'

This channel has been helping me a lot about different countries in the world , thanks World Friends 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇬🇧🇪🇦🇺🇲🇭🇲

Lauren 🇬🇧 and Christina 🇺🇲are apart , Lauren🇬🇧 is hanging out with Carlie🇺🇲 and Sydney🇨🇦 , and Christina🇺🇲 is hanging out with Hanah 🇬🇧 , but i hope see all these ladies together in a video

3:05 - In the States, I call that a couch. I sometimes use "sofa." My grandma used to call it a Davenport (which was a common couch brand in the '40s and '50s).

Make more videos with Sydney from Canada , her return was great , she is good representing Canada 🇨🇦

So good to know Sydney is from Saskatchewan as well. I am from Saskatchewan too and proudly graduated from University of Saskatchewan. Love to hear Bunny Hug is mentioned. ❤️❤️❤️

When I grew up in Western Canada in the 60s and Early 70s we called a hoodie a kangaroo sweater, because of the pouch. I also during this time a couch was a chesterfield.

Hang a Larry (turn left) / Hang a Roger (turn right) is Canadian. Or you can say 'hang a left'/'hang a right'. I think the Americans were influenced by this and only have one of the left 'hang a louie', which oddly sounds more Canadian.

in ireland 🇮🇪 - “50 km an hour” “beer belly” “dressing gown” “hoodie” “fags” is most common, some say cigarette “couch” is most popular, i would say “setee” “turn right”/“right hand turn”

Lauren here 🇬🇧 you may all be surprised that we use miles per hour in the U.K. and use miles a lot to talk about distance! Hope you enjoyed 😊

Another very interesting video, thank you ladies .

Another term for the dressing gown in Canada would be a Bath Robe.

I am french canadian and I love comparing your words with ours... like a cigarette: we would say a "clope" or a mégot or a cig... and the dressing gown is a bedroom gown/dress ... a sofa is a sofa here too...

Canadian girl looks so cute

The Term Darts for cigarettes comes from "Lung Darts" I first heard the term in the Canadian Military, Click or Klick or K for kilometers is a term that I believe came from the Canadian Military (by way of American Vietnam War moves) the American Military uses Kilometers (or klicks) to measure distance.

The universal language of: I gotta piss

I have the exact same UofS sweater that has the definition of bunny hug

I still remember in Hong Kong, there used to also use miles and mph on all roads which following their suzerain UK (GB Empire before), until 1970's the British HK govt decided changing all miles and mph to kilometers and km/hr. But those all were happened before my birth so I have no idea how did that get on. Well, surprised that Chesterfield seems kind of near my home! And, yes, I also heard the word "hang" seems quite common to mean something related to "traveling" in North America, such like "hang out", "hang around", "hang about", "hang a Louie" (for left) and "hang a Ralph" (for right).

Everyone I know in Ireland says "sofa" but my father is from Northern Ireland and is the only person I know who says "settee". Growing up, I always found it weird that he had his own words for some things xD

Ireland only switched to using kilometres in 2005. So I spent the first 12 years of my life using miles. Now, I have this weird "in between" thing where I use both, depending on context. Like, if I'm looking at actual speed limits, of course I'll say "60 kilometres an hour", but if something is far away, I'll say "that's miles away". We use the metric system here, but I don't know a single person who measures their height in metres/centimetres, it's ALWAYS feet and inches for that. And for their weight, it's either stone or pounds. But ask me the distance to somewhere in yards and I won't have a clue, because metres makes more sense to me in that regard... But then I'll still say "that was a 10ft drop" or whatever.

Also in Canada: Cancer Sticks or Coffin Nails. And Beer Gut. Molson Muscle is a really popular one, even among people who don't drink Molson, lol.

American here, I've never heard someone refer to a left turn as a "louie"

in ireland we use kilometers but i go by miles as a form of habit

Love how I’m from Canada and we don’t use half of the words the Canadian girl used 😂

We also call them bathrobes...never actually used housecoat here in Vancouver.

I’m Canadian and actually a hoodie is a sweatshirt with a hood a sweater is a bit of a more dressier long sleeve shirt and a sweatshirt is pretty much the same as a hoodie just without the hood like for example what Lauren (UK chick) is wearing is like more of a sweater but what Sydney (Canadian chick) is wearing is more like a sweatshirt but not all sweatshirts have zippers (even though the one that Sydney is wearing does) actually I’m mistaken Sydney is in fact wearing a hoodie I didn’t see the hood at first but yeah a sweatshirt is like a hoodie but with no hood and usually without a zipper

Ireland uses both dressing gown *and* house coat. My parents have them and they call them house coats.

Wow good job team

we british do say hang left/right in certain areas (at least the south coast)

In Ontario Canada cigarettes have been called " cancer sticks" or " "smokes" as in "can I bum a smoke off ya" meaning "can I have one of your cigs " when you're asking someone to take one from their pack. Lots of other slangs but I'm not a smoker so I don't know much of them.

Someone NOT from Ontario. What a treat! - Fellow Sasky

We say take a larry in my town in Canada 🇨🇦

" hang a Louie" dafuh... Never heard that in my 39 years of life.

I'm born and raised in Alaska I'd say miles an hour.

Good job holding up the Canadian end.

How is Saskatchewan the 3rd province? Looking at a map and reading right to left as the English do then yes but in history it wasn’t even thought of when Canada was 3 provinces

great

How strange is that Sydney is from Canada not from Australia. I like British accent though, but as a Pakistani we use varieties of accents from different parts of the world.

I love the Canadian english

Miles comes from Britain and was imported to North America when it was colonized by the UK. Canada also used miles (Imperial system) until 1977, when the government forced us to switch to metric (km). Many Canadians over 50, however, will still use miles in a colloquial way.

Turn around and go the other direction. "Oh, you mean flip a $h!t hook."

Im wondering where exactly it is they say "hang a Louie". Not a thing in my state that I'm aware of

A mile is1609 meters. If 1600m was termed a metric mile, more countries might use the mile.

the UK also call cigarettes another name but stupid YT and their annoying rules of ways wont let me write the word. However u Brits and us irish know the 4 letter word i am talking about

Sydney has the most interest things ever

As someone from Ireland, I've literally never heard anyone call a cigarette a dart. Are you sure they weren't looking for a train? XD

It's the imperial system vs the metric.

As A Baby Boomer; I go with Both the Imperial (U S A ) and Metric system. I Think Most Older Canadians will use Both systems.

Am like channel this.i hope you long live and always healthy my pretty girls three people this really smart

In the US Robe Or Housecoat. US Chesterfield is a Cigarette! Hang a LOUIE for Left or a RALPH for a Right! Or A YOUIE for a U-turn!

Many Americans also say beer-gut or pot-belly

“Louie” is definitely a regional thing in the US. Here in my state, and probably all of the west coast, we say “turn left” or “left-hand turn”. For a U-turn we say “pull a u-ie” (pronounced yew-ie) or “hang a u-ie”. Very very cool to see all the different words for things.

Wow Callie, where in the US are you from? I've never heard "Louie" for a left-turn. That is very interesting! I've always lived in the southeastern US, but the US has all kinds of terms for things depending on where you live, so I'm interested to know where the "louie" thing comes from.

i've heard doc martin use fahrenheit.

Not what my British friends call a cigarette

Lauren actively not trying to use ‘fags’ in front of the North Americans

I’m Canadian and I say robe

"Klicks" in Canadian English is usually more common among older generations, those born before the 1960s. Younger people who use this term usually do so out of quirkiness or because they were raised by or have spent a lot of time among older people or in remote areas. "Kilometres" is much more common nationally these days. The same goes for "chesterfield." "Chesterfield" is considered old-fashioned Canadian English and it is typically used by those Canadians who lived during the time when Britain had more influence over Canadian government and society. This means, it is quite common among seniors in their 60s or older, as they lived during said time.

Uk forgot another term for cigarettes that starts with a f and ends with ag

the other term in england for cigarette is a fag (s), as in a 'bundle of sticks', but there are connotations that are often played up in england that arent as common as anywhere else so in most cases its played down................

I've never heard a single person in Ireland say darts

Canada just saids beer belly some may say a money belly, robe, it’s smokes, cigarettes , cancer sticks or bogie,right and left …no one saids the other stuff she mentioned

C'mon Even I know that British people also call cigarettes "fags"

Haha was definitely waiting for the other word for cigarettes in the UK xD.

I have never heard anyone in the US say take a louie

Hoodie/Bunnyhug = "kangaroo" in Quebec

Sydney is great. She acknowledges that Canada is huge, and is very knowledgeable about our provinces and territories :)

I'm surprised the UK didn't identify the cigarette as a fag - I feel that's the most common term.

being from canada, everyone in my city so far says "go left" or "go right", but i've heard that a slang/vocabulary would be "hang a larry" or "hang a roger". lol

Bath robe

Missed 'butts' as another term for cigarettes.

The UK isn't likely to switch from miles. A feasibility study was done when metrication was introduced and the cost of replacing all the road signs would have been enormous.

3:57 Has political correctness killed the British name for cigarettes "fags"? As an American I remember growing up hearing that as one of those quaint british expressions.

In the UK i hear fags quite a lot when referring to cigarettes.

house coat?? naa its a bath robe.

We also call cigarettes fags in the UK.

US: bathrobe

WHat?! How did she not mention that we call cigarettes "Fags"? I assumed that would be the point of that one!

Love how Lauren dodged what we actually call cigarettes. 😂 well played

My grandmother called sofas Chesterfields. She was from the upper Midwest, and was born in 1892.

Being from the Midwestern US, "hang a louie" or "louie" for left is NEVER used. This was quite a shock for me.

I'm totally obsessed with this channel,it's oddly satisfying!💖💖💖

From the U.S. I have heard Chesterfield, but it is for a specific style of couch. There used to be a cigarette brand called Chesterfield, long ago. Clicks I've heard in military and aviation, but again they are older terms. I have never heard Hang a Louie, so it must be a regional term. I knew that Great Britain used miles because I like cars and British car shows still use MPH, 0-60 and even the 1/4 mile times today. We use metric measurements for exclusively science and medical work, but we still have inches, feet, yards and miles, as well as cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. I do not see this changing soon, even though metric measurement plainly makes more sense at every level.

In the US we say "50 miles an hour". It's a "house coat" or "bath robe".

Loved the clip ......

Okay. I'm early. I'm learning a lot here!

East Coast In the State of Delaware and what I’ve heard/used: 1) 50 MPH 2) Beer Belly 3) Hoodie, Sweater 4) Bath Robe 5) Couch, Sofa, Love Seat (2 person) 6) Cigarettes, Smokes, and Ciggies 7) Turn Right, Right Turn, Right hand turn Love the video of the UK, USA, and Canada!

I love this videos! In my opinion, please make them longer. Otherwise such a great channel!

I thought UK uses kilometers

Who the f calls a dressing gown a smoking jacket?

In the Midwest particularly in Kansas where I'm from, it's called a divan.

Wait, does hang a louie come from hang a yui (not sure how to write it but slang for a U-turn)?

all i can hear is like .....like ....like so they are all common

Invite the Europeans World Friends. Like making a face off challenge 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇦🇺 vs 🇪🇺🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇪🇦

Uk say bathrobe or dressing gown. Many people say couch nowadays then sofa. Lauren, Lauren, you do know we often says fags then ciggies

I miss Christina and Lauren together

UK use miles???????? UNBELIEVABLE

Why does Lauren keep on mentioning the olden language in uk like cmon now

I’m American and I say hang a right or left like the Canadian. I’ve never heard of louie for left. But I do say make a Uie for a u -turn. Also at least in the South we say both robe and house coat but what’s in the picture is called a robe. A house coat would likely have snaps or buttons up the front. And people work around the house in them. Think back to the tv show Mama’s Family. My grandma and great grandma would wear house coats over what’s called house dresses. I wear house coats and dresses sometimes too. So comfy. 🤗
