SERIOUSLY? Whoaaaaa. All the people in WDW who were on holiday from England were unbelievably polite/friendly.

In July, there was an English couple in our monorail "car" with me and my brother, and I asked them if British people think Americans are weird. And the guy said "Well, some Americans are quite silly" and then they asked me if I liked people from England and I was like "Like, I guess. But y'alls lingo you've got goin' on is weird" and they laughed and asked me if I was southern. And that was pretty much it

Haha I've heard conversations like this many times.
When I was lived in Canada and we went to Disney, this one family asked my dad to said "eh" like thirty times.

Bonk - Same meaning as shag. Means to have sex. E.g. "Did you bonk him/her?".

OH MAH LAWWDD. THAT'S PRECIOUSSSS.

I don't know what's going on in this conversation lol

All I ever hear is redneck accents and regular american ones

Hanky panky - Hanky panky - or "slap and tickle" as some older folks call it - would be making out in America.

O_O

Luvvly-jubbly - Clearly another way of saying lovely. Made famous by the TV show Only Fools and Horses.

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Potty - This isn't just the thing you sit a toddler on - if you are potty it means you are a little crazy, a bit of a looney, one card short of a full deck.

Well, that adds new meaning to the TV Puppet Pals from Dexter's Lab...

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Rumpy pumpy - Another word for hanky panky, or a bit of nookie! Something two consenting adults get up to in private! Theoretically!

I was talking to someone who was new to school in gym last week and they were like "are you Canadian?" "Yes. How did you know?" "You just said ben like bean, you said uh-gang, and you said 'eh' like thirty times."

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Well, that adds new meaning to the TV Puppet Pals from Dexter's Lab...

IT MEANS SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT IN AMERICA!

"Bonk." I.e. "I bonked my head". As in, "I hit my head".

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Squidgy - A chocolate cream cake would be squidgey. It means to be soft and, well, squidgey!

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Waffle - To waffle means to talk on and on about nothing. It is not something you eat. Americans often think that Brits waffle on about the weather. The truth of course is that our news reports last 60-120 seconds and the weather man is not hyped up to be some kind of superstar as he is on the TV in the US. If you want to see an example of real waffle watch the weather channel in Texas where there is nothing to talk about other than it is hot and will remain so for the next 6 months. Another example is the ladies who waffle on about anything on the Home Shopping Network. They would probably be classed as professional wafflers!

Acetaminophen? But you can't make a joke out of that!

Where is there no medicine in the jungle?
Because the parrots eat them all!

Because the UK word for acetaminophen is paracetamol.

Here's some questions I've been asked about Canada:

Do you have McDonald's? "Yes"
Do you know Bob in Alberta? "No"
Do you have the same New Years Eve? "Yes"
When is your Christmas? "Same as yours"
Say 'house' and 'about'! "House. About."
Do You have cars? "YES."
