Update by 6 woah and yay all at once
While we were browsing around the shops, we found this board of U.K. trivia. I only know some of these, so why don't we open it up to the readers? In your comment, tell me which U.K. phrases you know and which American term they match up with!
I know, I know!
Vacuum = Hoover
Elevator = lift
Cell phone = mobile phone
fries = Chips
sneakers = runners (I think this may be the Irish version) I've heard trainers used as well
cookies = biscuits although the ones with chocolate chip with call those chocolate chip cookies.
chips = crisps
highway = motorway in England in Ireland we also call the motorways Duel Carraigeways
sidewalk = footpath
candy = sweets
trunk = boot
hood = I'm guessing they're referring to car here so bonnet
pants = trousers
truck = We use truck here as well but I'd say they mean lorry. Van is smaller than Lorry. The Coca Cola trucks in America we'd call that size a Lorry.
bun = What are they talking about there? I think they might have meant to write cupcake maybe because we call those muffins and ours aren't halk as fancy as the Disney cupcakes we haven't got all the fancy creamy stuff on top and none of the yummy middle ours are very plain. Maybe that's not what they mean at all what do you call buns?
gas = petrol or diesel
couch = sofa
restroom = bathroom, toilet or loo
trash = rubbish and a trashcan is a dustbin or just bin for short
pacifier = dummy, doody or soother
vacation = holiday
egg plant = aubergine
flash light = torch
sweater = without hood is a jumper, with hood is a hoodie
soda = Fizzy drink, mineral, my nieces live in england and they call it Fizzy pop
It helps that I'm from the neighbouring country to the UK so most of our terms are similar although I've given Irish terms there so maybe UK differ slightly still with some of those.
You're O'Hana meal sounds amazing but I don't think Momma and I could handle all that food with just the two of us.
I loled at the fact that you posted Jess a postcard when you were about to meet her in the park even though I know you didn't know.
I read the surprise on Jess's trip report and saw the video it was so cool looking
