12 British words I now use everyday

always amazing hearing the difference in words 🤣

In the UK, there's a difference between 'to trash something', and 'to bin something'. When you trash something, you mess it up, wreck it and destroy it. When you bin something, you merely get rid of it

Quid is nationwide slang, definitely not just restricted to London

As a Brit I've always called free standing units cabinets, normally they contain the fancy plates for guests. Which you don't use when guests are over because you don't trust them with your fancy plates so they end up sitting there for years just taking up space

Love how you were talking about realtor vs estate agent and didn't even realise you said flat instead of apartment

I would argue that most of us brits would say “tourists” over “holiday makers” but the others are on point 😂

As a Brit I always think of a cabinet as more fancy, maybe with a glass front or something- might be just me tho

As a note, in California we say tap and never faucet. "Just tap water for me, please." UNLESS, we are saying something about the fixture itself. "Call the plumber, our kitchen faucet is broken." Also we might refer to terraced houses as condos or condominiums, never a row house. That being said, some people also call flats condos as well.

Growing up, a Nightstand was a specific piece of bedroom furnitre distict from a bedside table. Your nightstand was the table like thing with a small shelf or cupboard beneath where you would keep your chamber pot.

If Harry Potter had lived in the closet the books would have been VERY different, as would his relationship with Ron!🤣🤣🤣

I think the only time I've ever heard closet used in the UK is in reference to coming out of/being in one. We never say things like: "Hey. I came out of the wardrobe three months ago."

‘Bin there done that’. Very good. As a British person I heartily approve of good bad puns 👍

as a north eastern brit, i have some additional info about stuff we say differently to other places, up here we say brufen instead of paracetamol, and estate agent makes so much sense, cause an "estate" refers to a neighbourhood, typically a council estate, which are council owned houses that used to be rented out by chavs, but at this point are basically the only affordable places to live. I'm not criticising the video, just tryna add some extra information. also we too say quid also, on my dad's stag do, his mates made him put on a dress and go to a sunderland match

As a Welshie I’m offended you think quid only exists in London 😂 it’s completely nationwide!

A spigot is a specific type of tap in the UK. It's the tap you hammer into a barrel of ale. Holiday maker is a little old fashioned, you'll more often hear the term tourist.

Another funny , affectionate and articulate set of observations about life in the UK ,I'm hooked 👍

In my 43yrs of life, never heard holiday makers used irl

Cabinets exist in the UK in more places than the bathroom thank you, sir! In my house when I was growing up, the wooden doored units in the kitchen were cupboards and the glass fronted ones were cabinets. Also, my mum had cabinets in the living room to showcase her ornaments lol.

So, I take it that Evan's never told the "Bin" joke. "Where's yer bin?" "I've bin to the shops." No, where's yer dust bin?" "I told you, I dust bin to the the shops." "No, I mean where's yer wheelie bin?" "Okay, I was wheelie having a shit, but I didn't want to say."

Love this, it really helped explain things to my best friend in amarica, love it
