One of the fun things about being an American that lives in the UK for part of every year is that I notice weird things that Britons say without realising that the words and phrases they are using are sometimes hilarious, confusing or even scandalous to us Americans!
Watch this video to see the list I have compiled over the past several years of many of those British terms. And as a bonus at the end, let’s discuss funny and weird things Americans say! And PLEASE SUBSCRIBE for more British vs. American fun! Cheers! XX Dara
