1:39 “Why bobby?” It’s called a bobby pin because it was invented in the 1920’s when bob cuts were a popular hairstyle. They would hold hair back from your face because it wasn’t long enough to tie it back with a ribbon or something.

Hey... how are you? Because it came up... "Football" is used in America for a kind of rugby, because the term originally referred to multiple games. That's why the British version of their favorite sport was originally "Association Football" before it was deemed "Soccer" (a way to shorten Association Football, and called that BY THE BRITS for years) but later shortened there to "Football" instead. Meanwhile "Rugby Football" was literally the original name for Rugby, so the Rugby-like American Football having that name is not that surprising since I think it evolved before Rugby Football was shortened.

Barrette is a French word, well guessed! (I'm French)

[@ShootingStarStudio]

I can answer the question of why it’s called a bobby pin They were invented in the 1920’s, when just about every woman wore her hair in a bob cut. You didn’t want your hair in your face, but it wasn’t long enough to pull it back with a ribbon or something, so you used bobby pins to hold it back.

[@jjoyce46]

The word plait is also used in the US along with pig tails although I think they used it more years ago.

[@daliyashohat1320]

South Africans refer to the hairstyles as plaits (plaits) and ponytails (bunches) and clips (for both Barrettes and hairpins)

[@jeffhurst2077]

In UK the hair elastic loop used to hold your hair, at sometime in the past did have 2 plastic balls attached, Hence we call it a bobble

[@seraphina985]

You can still get those along with ones with various other little ornaments on the end. They seem to be more marketed towards children though.

[@anndeecosita3586]

They still sell those in the US for children

[@RickP2012]

To be honest, I'm English and thought a bobble was what Christina described - I'm sure it used to be and hence the name. Also, I've never heard the term foils in my entire life; only ever heard them called highlights. Bunches of hair were always called pigtails when I was growing up.

[@henryqu19]

Welcome to World Friends , Hana from UK 🇬🇧

[@boobraithwaite7818]

I feel like most of the English terms in this video are area specific. I think a few people from different parts of the UK are needed. South, Midlands and North are so different.

[@jonevans6446]

Yeah I agree I have been in UK whole life I have never heard of some of these words

[@anonnnymousthegreat]

The bobby pin was invented by Luis Marcus, a San Francisco-based cosmetics manufacturer, after World War I and came into wide use as the hairstyle known as the "bob cut" or "bobbed hair" took hold. Although Marcus thought about naming the pin after himself, he named them bobby after the bobbed hairstyle. A hair pin in the US is actually different from the bobby pin. A hair pin has a wider opening, while a bobby pin has a thin opening.

[@GaryE20904]

I came here to say the same thing. Bobby pin is named after the bob’d haircut/hairstyle that requires the use of the Bobby pin to keep one’s hair out of one’s eyes.

English person here 1st one to me is a hairgrip, cos its grips the hair in place! 2nd, hair slide or hair clip, 3rd, i have never called it a hair bobble, i have always called it a hair bands, i also call the bigger ones scrunchies (which is what i tend to wear as i think curly hair and most hair bands break), 4th i would call it either headband or alice band. 5th i would ask for highlights or lowlights (if going darker) but the appointment i get booked in is for either a 1/2 head or full head of foils due to the way the hairdresser applies the colour. (although i am old enough to remember the plastic highlighter caps!) 6th bunches defiantly, 7th plait, or plaits if its 2, although i would say someone had a braid in there hair if they had the very little one often decorated with thread!

[@elizabethcassidy9276]

I'm from Northern England and I thought I'd write some differences from the British English on the video. We say 'Hairband' instead of 'Headband' or 'Alice band' We say 'Streaks' in casual conversation, but the hairdresser would say 'highlights' or 'lowlights'. Also 'Foils' is a specific method of doing streaks/highlights, but most hairdressers also give the cheaper option of using a hair cap with many tiny holes in it to pull hair through. So, no one I know would say 'Foils' unless they were telling the hairdresser HOW they wanted their streaks/highlights. Also, I found it interesting that Christina said 'hair shop' and now I'm wondering if she meant a hair & beauty supplies shop (relatively uncommon here, so I would just call it Sally's because that's the brand name of the only one I know) or a hairdresser (I'm not sure if Americans also use the word hairdresser)

[@JoonTheBug]

I don’t know anyone who says hair shop here in the US most people would say hairdresser or hair salon

[@michaelsegal3558]

And the one after headband we also call highlights in Canada

[@anndeecosita3586]

I’m American and I’ve heard both braid and plait often. I don’t associate saying plait with us trying to be posh. This may be a cultural thing because I’m black and we tend to wear braids/plaits more than straighter haired people. Personally I’m more likely to use plait if what I’m creating is temporary and I’m not trying to make it neat. Like to keep my hair from tangling before going to bed. I tend to use braid when I’m creating a style I want to wear out the house.

[@rachelcookie321]

I’m British and I’ve never heard the term ‘hair slide’ before. I just call them hair clips. Never heard ‘alive band’, we just call them headbands. I’ve also never used hair bobble before, I call them elastics.

[@fuckdefed]

I’m British and I’ve never heard of ‘(hair) foils’. I’d say ‘hair clip’ instead of ‘hair slide’ but I’ve definitely heard both. I’ve occasionally heard ‘bobble’ but surely ‘(hair) band’ is the main term (a hair band might be nothing but an elastic band covered in fabric but I don’t think I’ve heard it referred to as simply an ‘elastic’ before). As I’m male, my level of awareness of girly hair terms is bound to be lacking though.

[@oakguard]

I'm a Scot most women around here call the hair slide thing a 'hair clasp' since it clasps the hair together and elastics we call them that or 'hair bands' and never heard it called an Alice band

[@rachelcookie321]

@@oakguard I’m from Scotland too. I would use hair clasp too if it has a clasp like backing. Hair band makes me thing of headbands but I might also call and elastic as a hair tie. A bobble makes me specifically think of the elastics with the little balls on them.

[@jlawsl]

I think the US actually kept a lot of words that the UK replaced or uses French terms due to the French influence on the western hemisphere. I would assume it is similar to how in the military, the US uses the term lieutenant while British and former colonies use the term leftenant. From what good old wiki says, bobby pin was named after the bobbed haircut popular in the 20's after the modern design, from a man in San Francisco named it after said haircut.

[@senoritak190]

Hair tie... I call it a ponytail holder. Pigtails... Is sort of a kiddy term and, to me, implies they are closer to the sides of your head. I'd say that girl had two ponytails. And that braid is more of a French braid I think?

It's an umbrella term for many codes of football that derive from a medieval term loosely used for a team based sport involving a ball and played on foot as opposed to on horseback (e.g. polo). That's why it's called football; in fact, most football codes involve the hand in some way. Soccer a.k.a association football is just about the only major football code that doesn't (outside of the goalkeeper and throw ins). And of course they use their feet for certain things.

We don't usually say 'football' at all in the Antipodes these days -only 'Footie' - but we always say soccer especially around Poms because they are strangely pedantic about it....yeah, you don't use your foot as much in rugby, true; but you the game isn't only played in Rugby, England either so what's in a name?

American English is more influenced by French / Italian than British English. Which has kept its Germanic pronunciations and spellings over the years.

That’s partially true but I think it depends on whether you’re talking about word choice or pronunciation. We say ‘aubergine’ and ‘courgette’, though I don’t think we ever say ‘barette’, but anglicise the pronunciation of ‘fillet’ and ‘valet’. Having said that ‘envelope’ can be pronounced either way (I use the anglicised pronunciation) and we say the word ‘croissant’ in a way that’s closer to the original French than the Americans do.

She has an EXTREMELY Americanised Scottish accent but if you listen carefully to her saying the word ‘childhood’ as ‘childhoooooood’ at the end of the video (and one or two more subtle tells before that) then she can’t be from anywhere else but Scotland.

I have a question regarding spanish language. I came to know that spanish spoken in mexico, us is different than spanish spoken in spain. I dnt knw which spanish is original, let it be. But my doubt is, which spanish language is better to learn? How different mexican spanish and spain's spanish are? Only some vocabulary are different or totally different? If I learn mexican spanish, can i survive in spain and other spanish speaking countries??

Spain is the original Spanish they colonized the Spanish speaking countries today which is y they speak Spanish in the countries. If u wanna go to Spain learn Spaniard Spanish. Any Spanish u learn u would be able to survive for the most part but think of it as English every country tht speaks English has different accents n certain words mean different things it’s the same way with spanish

And even in Spain, there are different/distinct forms of Spanish (Andalusian vs. Castillian vs....Etc). But generally, its the Castillian Spanish that was brought to the Americas and the Phillipines.

Of course, Christina and Hannah, you can do whatever you would like with your hair :) However, if you would like to turn water into your hair friend instead of enemy, I highly recommend looking into wearing your hair naturally, using something like the curly girl method to learn about basic techniques and concepts :) I have wavy hair, but didn't know what it could be until about 3 years ago when I came across the CGM online. Highly recommend learning some, at least so that it is an option in your repertoire! For wavy hair in particular, I've learned a lot from the YT channel Swavy Curly Courtney. After going through this process, I would highly recommend everyone to learn how to care for their natural hair texture so that it provides them with more options, instead of fewer :)

In my part of Scotland a hair pin is a kirby grip and a headband is a hairband. Also we call braids pigtails.

[@ethelmini]

A head band is the part of a hat, or helmet etc that keeps it secure on your head. On its own I'd say it only applies to the sort that goes across your forehead, like in 80's Aerobics videos.
