American Reacts to British Words for Clothing

[@stephenlee5929]

Re sweatpants, given the British meaning of pants, this would give a very different impression. They are often called Joggers, as that's what they seem to be designed for. They are also called tracksuit bottoms. I think boilersuits, were basically used by the Stoker and Driver of a Steam Train, since they work with the Boiler. Re 'wife beater' in England this would refer to Stella Artois (a specific beer).

[@robcrossgrove7927]

"Jupe might be an old English word for Jumper?". No. He said *Scottish". Scotland is a different country, just like Canada and Mexico are different countries to USA.

[@solaccursio]

about "you still call them socks...?" I know a funny joke... A Spanish man who spoke no English went into a department store to buy socks. He found his way to the menswear department where a young lady offered to help him. "Quiero calcetines" said the man. "I don't speak Spanish, but we have some very nice suits over here." said the salesgirl. "No, no quiero trajes. Quiero calcetines." said the man. "I still don't know what you're trying to say. We have some fine pants on this rack." offered the salesgirl. "No, no quiero pantalones. Quiero calcetines." insisted the man. "Our undershirts are over here." fumbled the salesgirl, beginning to lose patience. "No, no quiero camisetas. Quiero calcetines." the man repeated. As they passed the underwear counter, the man spotted a display of socks and happily grabbed a pair. Holding them up he proclaimed "Eso sí que es!". "Well, if you could spell it, why didn't you do that in the beginning?" asked the exasperated salesgirl.

No a dressing gown isnt for the same purpose. A bath robe is for wearing when you are wet getting out the shower. A dressing gown is specifically for putting on when you get out of bed, but arent ready to put on clothes yet, like to go make coffee or pick up the mail.

[@StewedFishProductions]

Exactly! I was in a store in a department store in New York several years ago and they had for sale, BOTH 'dressing gowns' AND 'bathrobes'. Now being British, I knew the term dressing gown very well and could guess at what a bathrobe was too, but to confirm it, I asked the salesman to clarify the distinction... As I supposed: A dressing gown is what you grab to wear over pyjamas (or to cover up your nakedness?), when stepping out of bed to go to the front door or make a cup of tea etc. They are made of many types of material and some can be quite 'fancy'. While a bathrobe, is more basic/plain, for putting on after having a bath, shower or swim and is usually made of a heavy or very absorbent fabric to contend with damp or wet skin...

A dressing gown was what you used to put on after the servants had dressed you but before having your hair done back when people wore powdered wigs. You didn’t want the powder on your posh clothes but no way could you dress after you had a massive powdered wig on.

[@dandeehancockify]

I agree. A bathrobe is a wearable towel worn when getting out of the bath/shower, whereas dressing gown is worrn over pyjamers when not in bed.

Well, dungarees was an Indian word for a type of rough cloth work clothing. A young lady fellow art student - back in the late 70s, whom I greatly fancied - used to wear them when she was painting. Stunningly attractive and greatly talented - Damn it! For a dressing gown, see Arthur Dent, in the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, or David Tennant's first outing as Doctor Who - The Christmas Invasion. He spends practically the whole episode in one. It's house wear to put on over your pyjamas.

[@brigidsingleton1596]

A bathrobe is usually made from soft terry towelling fabric (like towels) to be absorbent... A dressing gown is any other fabric, including silk*, cotton*, wool*, (or nylon / artificial fabrics as opposed to natural fibres*).n A sleeveless Puffa jacket is called a gilet (pronounced '_jee_-lay') or, as LL awrence said, a body warmer. Vest is a cotton (usually) thinnish fabric worn with or without sleeves under a shirt, blouse, or other covering garment over the upper body. The waistcoat, like Ameicans call a vest, we use in a suit (under the jacket but over the shirt) and can be worn by men or women to specific situations such as at a job interview, or a fancy party (like to an Awards ceremony). _Dung_arees ( _NOT_ "dongarees" Tyler!!) - like a boilersuit, but without sleeves, but with straps, and can ve made of any wearable fabric, usually but not necessarily always denim.

All robes are called dressing gowns in England, but ones made of towelling can also be called bath robes. Most of ours are made from fleece. I now live in Ireland where they are called House Coats. Sweatpants are definitely jogging or tracksuit bottoms. And vests in England refer specifically to a top worn as underwear, either a tank top shape or long sleeved thermals. If it is worn as a t-shirt we call it a tank top.

[@carolineskipper6976]

To me (also UK) a 'tank top' will always refer to a sleeveless knitted V neck jumper- probably with a horizontal striped pattern. They were very fashionable in the 1970's. A vest-like T shirt is either a 'sleeveless T shirt' or a 'Vest top' (but never just 'vest' if designed to be seen)

[@danielferguson3784]

A Sweater is just a certain type of jumper. They may also be called a pullover, or a Tank Top if they have no sleeves. It depends on how heavy they are, & what material they are made of. Here in Britain we have lots of clothing names that Americans don't use. We use specific words for the exact type of item & it's use, whereas Americans seem to use a generic term that covers a range of items. For instance a shirt is a button fronted garment for the top half of a man's body. If it doesn't have an open button front then it may be a T shirt, with or without sleeves. Underneath this we would wear a vest, usually of light material like cotton, & sleeveless. Americans tend to call these 'wife beaters' for some strange reason. The button fronted, sleeveless upper garment, worn as part of a 3 piece suit, is called a waistcoat, & dates back to the 17th century. The Marty McFly sleeveless top is called a Gillett, pronounced 'shilay' because it's French, but in Britain have usually been called 'body warmers', because they are meant to keep the main part of the body, the torso, warm in cold conditions. A Pinafore, or 'pinny' is a garment tied round the waist to protect a woman's dress when baking or other housework. It is usually just a simple rectangle of material, with a neck strap & waist tie, but may be a full skirt, when it will be called a Pinafore Dress. The female equivalent to a man's shirt is a Blouse. A female top garment is rarely referred to as a shirt, but maybe just called a 'top'. Underneath their trousers British men wear 'underpants', briefs, or 'boxers', while British women wear 'knickers', or sometime in modern terms 'panties'. Pants is rarely used for trousers in the UK, but maybe when describing particular types of leg covering. So 'sweatpants' is used by some. Usually we would say just what type of trousers we are meaning, like 'jeans', 'joggers', 'combats', etc, without often using the word 'trousers'. A Boiler suit because boiler workers used them when shovelling coal into fire boilers in steam engines etc. They became normal work wear for industrial workers. Dungarees are different to overalls, because they do not cover the whole body, while overalls do. These are often worn for less messy work, like painting etc. Full overalls are worn over clothing to keep it clean when doing messy or dirty work. To be smart in the UK means to be well dressed, neatly, as in a uniform. The secondary use as 'intelligent' is an Americanism that has crept into English through Hollywood films etc. To refer to this in the UK we would say a person is 'clever', or 'bright', because smart only means dressed neatly.

Jumpers in the states are sleeveless dresses that you wear a blouse or a turtleneck or roll neck jumper underneath.😊

[@robcrossgrove7927]

We call those "Sweat pants" in the UK as well, but we also refer to them as jogging bottoms or joggers or jogging pants. A lot of American culture has made it's way over here over the years and is reflected in the labels shops give things.

[@michellewest3404]

This is so funny from the point of view of an Australian. I would say while we are very familiar with both the British and American terms and understand both, we often have our own words too. I won't go through them all, but to us the thing called either tanktop or vest is known here as a singlet (especially when made by the company "Bonds"). The sweats or joggers here are known as tracksuit bottoms/pants but 99% of the time they are just "trackies" or even "track dax". And as part of the trousers/pants debate we usually call underwear either "undies" or for a guy "jocks", hence the traditional but boring Christmas present of "socks and jocks". And of course we have footware called "thongs" which always makes Americans laugh.

Lawrence’s wife - after a pic of the Scottish flag (that’s a clue, Tyler) - said the word jumper may be derived from the Scottish english word ‘Jupe’ meaning a loose jacket or tunic . Seconds later, Tyler said Jumper may be an Old English word for ‘Jupe’. Can’t help thinking Tyler’s quest to “ listen and learn about British words for clothing” would be helped if he listened to and paid more attention to what was actually said in videos he reacts to. Lawrence’s wife did NOT say Jumper was an old English word for Jupe. She said Jupe may be the origin of the word jumper, i.e., the word Jupe predated the word Jumper. And just as American English differs somewhat from the English spoken in England so, too, does the English spoken in Scotland differ somewhat from the English spoken in England, with Scottish english having many words that do not exist in the English spoken in England and many words common in both England and Scotland but are used differently in Scotland to express the same thing, e.g., ‘why not?’ ( England) and ‘how no?’ (Scotland). So when Lawrence’s wife said Jumper may be derived from the Scottish english word ‘Jupe’ she meant exactly what she said - Jupe is an old Scottish word - in the variant of English spoken in Scotland - that means a loose fitting tunic. Bugger all to do with Old English!!!

UK English is an assimilation of over 300 different languages ,and can be very confusing because we also have words that might be spelt differently, but they have exactly the same pronunciation and ultimately mean completely different things ,and then we have words that depending upon the context in which used means something completely different even though spelt the same. In some cases you can use multiple different words to describe one single item and they all have the same meaning again depending upon the context which it is used .As a brit there’s not many words that are used different in America that confuse me Generally you can work it out or I would look it up .but the weirdest thing for me is we have a lot of words where the H is silent in American you pronounce the H which makes the words sound kind of weird to us.

[@tezscanlan6418]

To me, a house coat is either japaneese style cotton wrapp shirts, often with shorts to accompany them or more often the rich mans wrap silk shirt they might wear in house to protect their clothes. Think old movies where the gentlemen is smoking a pipe in his library or study. A woman never wears house coats, if they wear protective clothing for housework it would be an apron or pinafore. A pocket pinafore are great! (They're the ones that have a huge front pocket or hangs from the waist only, again with pocket or two, like you might find venders in the market stalls with.)

I cringed so much when you said dungarees was a made up word. So rude.

Tyler I’m sorry but you don’t speak for the majority of people in the United States. You need to learn about your own country a bit more and what they call things before saying Americans don’t call certain items that word. Go online and look up dungarees and you will find them. Basically you Americans have just changed your words for certain items because you didn’t want to use British words though a lot of your towns and city’s have British names and I don’t know why if you want to call things differently.

I assume you can't read as you insisted the word was dongraee and not as spelt for you on the screen as dungaree as you still didn't use the right word,thick or what??
