Americans Come With A Set Of Instructions | The Jonathan Ross Show Reaction

[@katelyn3997]

I can’t understand why some Americans say "I could care less" instead of "I couldn’t care less". The latter indicates you don’t care (0% caring) whereas saying I could care less, means I have a bit of caring because I could care less than I do.

[@Killermcknight]

I correct people a lot with that one lol. I really don’t know either.

[@threestepssideways1202]

Yes, that one bugs me too. I think it's a case of simply repeating something you hear with regularity, without ever really thinking about the meaning of the words you are saying, which sadly, seems quite commonplace, and not just in the USA. When I was much younger (quite some time ago) I did the same with a very British phrase, ''common or garden'' to mean something quite everyday, not particularly special. For some years until I actually read it as part of a 'spoken' sentence in a book, I spoke it as ''communal garden'', and no one ever picked me up on it, and nor did I really think about the meaning, I just repeated, what I was clearly mishearing. That was a life lesson.

[@carefreescot]

Hmmmmm In some situations riding has a very sexual implication, and hopefully no horse, implied or otherwise. To be honest here in the UK I've heard horse riding used quite often, maybe in case the listener gets confused with bike riding (I know cycling is more commonly used, but going for a bike ride is also not unusual), or even riding a donkey. It would be interesting to know if different expressions are used in different parts of the country, or amongst people working at racing stables for example, where riding is almost certainly about a horse.

A waste paper basket is usually in an office only setting and as the name suggests, is used for throwing away waste paper, as opposed to a trash can being for elsewhere and for everything else. As far as horseback riding goes, an equivalent would be bike seat riding or bike saddle riding, but with all of those, do you really need to be told where to sit?

[@Killermcknight]

Ohh okay! I didn’t think about that until a comment said it’s 2 different things. I replied in that comment that the only other one I could think of would be a smaller trash can (bin or recycle box) where you’d throw away paper. Any office I’ve personally worked in, we had a box in our office we would put paper in and once a week put it in the recycle bin to be picked up, or just put it straight into a recycle bin, so that kind didn’t even come to mind. Thats true, I didn’t think of it that way!

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@Killermcknight I am in London, UK and here it generally just tends to be a bin as the collective name, regardless of the size of it or where it is placed. Although you might say bathroom bin, kitchen bin, office bin or recycling bin when wanting to be more specific though. And recycling is a relatively new thing in the UK and so waste paper in an office would previously just have been thrown in the bin and disposed of with everything else that was thrown away.

The first time I went to America I was in a deli buying lunch and the girl asked me if I wanted a sack? I was totally flummoxed. A sack? Now in Australia you can be sacked I.e. lose your job. Or you can be a sad sack, ie a sad person, or a sack to me was a big hessian thing that you might have horse feed in. I had no idea what she was saying. She must have seen my face and she pointed to the brown paper ‘sack’. I said ‘oh! A bag!’. Then it was her turn to be confused… 😂😂😂 I also don’t get why Americans say ‘bathroom’ instead of toilet. Or loo. Or toot. Or in Australia it’s a dunny…. I always have to remember to say ‘ladies bathroom’ if I am asking directions to a toilet.

[@Killermcknight]

😂😂😂 sack has many meanings here too. Like a bag, to be fired, or men’s sacks lol. I don’t know why we don’t call it toilet either. Bathroom or restroom, but there’s not usually actually a bath in there, and it’s certainly not always a place of rest 😂 but toot… we call farts.

Only as shorthand for gasoline, much like we shorten petroleum to petrol. Lol tho, LPG would make a confusing thing for Americans who don't know what petroleum is 😅

[@aidencox790]

@@mnomadvfx Chemist here - what you say is only partly correct. Gasoline is a refined product derived from petroleum and primarily used as a fuel for transportation. Petroleum is a natural, unrefined fossil fuel composed of hydrocarbons, used to produce various fuels and chemicals. In strictly accurate terms, petrol is one of the distillates derived from the fractional distillation of petroleum and can take several forms depending upon which additives are employed to make it suitable for a given use. Gasoline, as said, is primarily used as a fuel for transportation. So to shorten gasoline to gas produces a word that describes a product in the gaseous state whereas the word petrol is a complete word that correctly describes the liquid.

There are two Americanisms that grind my gears bigtime stylie. (actually there are many but I'll stick with two) One is "Happy" everything. I understand it for some occasions and holidays but I'll never understand Happy Halloween, Happy Veteran's Day, Happy Memorial Day. It's just plain offensive to think that commemorating the sacrifice of war should be a Happy event. I'm sure it's meant to be a sombre, reflective, thankful day, surely. Happiness doesn't come into it. In Australia and New Zealand where we celebrate ANZAC Day on 25 April we would never, ever wish anyone happy ANZAC DAY, that would be considered disgraceful and disrespectful. As for Halloween Happy doesn't fit. Isn't it supposed to scare the bejesus out of you? Weird. The second is Happy New Years. What does that actually mean? Happy New Year's ... what? (note apostrophe).Does it just mean you're wishing a me a happy new year's eve or day? The rest of the world says Happy New Year, encompassing the entire year, not just the night we celebrate it. Happy New Year's dance? dinner? party? Just leave it at singular "Year" and the rest of the world will know what you mean.

Oh the two finger V sign which some Americans do, which to Brits means "eff off" but they think it means Victory or Peace. Palm away means Peace and V sign with palm facing yourself is offensive in Britain. My Aunty taught me to do the offensive V sign when I was around three years old. She'd have me stand on the back seat looking out the back and tell me "Do it now" when she over took lorries/trucks. I'm guessing it was because we owned a haulage company so she may have known the truckers. It was before back seat seat-belts or car seats for children.

Sometimes American English uses names which describe what objects do, for example "eraser", whereas British English name is the material, "rubber". Yet American English uses the word for the material, "rubber", not what it does, whereas British English tended to use a brand name, "Durex" (a bit like calling a vacuum cleaner a "Hoover"). Yet, Americans call refined petroleum "gas" when it's a liquid. But, AFAIK, "gas" comes from "gasoline" which was coined to relate to the trademarked brand "Cazeline" (and likely designed to echo "kerosene"). Version of English are funny old things. Best Wishes. ☮ Some Americans came to work in the UK in the same open plan office as us, and they deliberately tried to discover anyone who called an "eraser" a "rubber". They succeeded first time with me, though I recognised what they were up to. Practically no one among 100 or more Brits called the thing used to remove pencil marks an "eraser". Our American chums were delighted.

Great reaction 😅 By the way, horseback riding feels more natural because you've heard that phrase your whole life. Let me explain: The parameters within which our whole spectrum of understanding of the world is comprehended, understood & formulated, in our mind, is dictated by the culture we are part of.This in turn influences our thoughts, opinions, views, morals, principles, attitude, actions and language. The things that we accept in life or accept as just part of life are the result of cultural conditioning or culturally laid down models of behaviour. In a world of cultural conditioning it's very hard to find people that are willing to take the time to think about life, that feel the need to understand the real purpose & meaning of our lives, most go their whole lives without that spark of interest or need for a deeper connection with life, largely because mainstream society dictates that these questions are not that important. So when you ask most people what the purpose of life is, they won't tell you what they have concluded through questioning & searching. In most cases they'll simply tell you they don't know or haven't given it much thought, or they will tell you what someone else said, or what their friends say or what their family says - basically what society says, because those friends & family are influenced by the same parameters of thinking. The extent to which we are influenced by our cultural conditioning is immense, it shapes our internal understanding of how to relate to ourselves & to life, of what life is, what its meanings are & what its values are. Culture is the programme you run on, the programme which all of your thoughts & beliefs are formed from & filtered through and it's not until you realise this that you are able to step outside of it and begin to see things from a different perspective. To transcend culture is to see beyond our internal conditioning of said culture, of its language, concepts & contexts, its Images, symbols & learned emotional responses to these stimuli that drive our internal dialogue, attitude & character - our learned behaviour of everything that's important and has meaning, in our hearts & in our minds. Culture is the pre-programmed set of blueprints from which our internal relationship with reality is caged and like the phoenix rising from the ashes of the old, one must understand this to be born again in mind, into a new paradigm of thought.

There is a version in England called Furths. They are the 34 peaks of 3000ft or over in the UK and Ireland outside (furth) of Scotland. Think of them as the English, Welsh and Irish equivalent to the Scottish Munros. 😊😊🧡

When he says waste paper basket he was talking about bins you'd have in your living room, bedroom or office not kitchen or outside bins. Michael MacIntyre has his own entertainment show called Michael MacIntyre's big show and a quiz show called the wheel.he also does stand up tours and spots on tv.

Have you discovered Stephen Fry's video about the difference between British and American humor? Worth looking at.

[@beejkumar5824]

No, We (USA) do not understand English English. 🤣🙄🤣😳🤣🤫🤣🤓🤣🤡 Born and growing up in India with "Proper English" and fan of BBC / English tv /movies I am used to it (very much used to it). And went through same experience when I arrived in USA 40 years ago.

[@mikdavies5027]

When we throw anything away, we just bin it! Well done for taking Michael McIntyre in good humour.

[@clarea-s6779]

Water the ear of independence English on the IK did not stand still it evolved as did US English . Some of the structures of US Engish are more in line with the structure of English as it was in both countries 250 years ago

[@rickb.4168]

Apparently a lot of Haitians have moved to America as they heard it was Dogs country! 😂😂

[@Killermcknight]

😂😂 Venezuelans!

[@simplysplendid6064]

The example of this I find amusing is that a gear stick becomes a 'stick shift' in the USA.

We dont to "pinky up" unless we are joking.

Oh 😂 I thought it was genuinely a posh thing while drinking tea

[@zwieseler]

Yeh language is weird. In Australia a windshield is a windscreen, a trunk is a boot, a hood is bonnet… and that’s just car talk.

[@mattbentley9270]

Trash can, why 2 words, a can fr trash ? as opposed to what other can? BIN

[@Killermcknight]

[@madcapmagician3130]

The thing I've always objected to is the way Americans started stealing a particular letter out of English words, Armour, Colour, Favourite, Honour....what do Americans have against the the Letter U, its in the name of the country!

I have no idea how close you reside to what's happening with Mother Nature's temper tantrum, but I hope you all make it, I may be a new subscriber but I just take forever to subscribe to stuff. You guys have kept me out of my darkest place whether just reacting or what you're reacting to. Stay safe

[@Killermcknight]

Thank you so very much ♥️🫶🏻 Taylor and the baby are back in Colorado and safe, but Stephen is still down in Florida and hunkered down. Scary times, it’s a big bad storm. Sooo glad we can be there for you during some of your darker times. That’s exactly why we enjoy doing what we do, so thank you so much for sharing that. Hope you’re well ♥️

[@Ky...like_the_jelly]

@@Killermcknight thank you for asking, I'm breathing and that's always a good start. Glad to see everything has died down, hopefully Stephen is OK, cannot imagine the fear of a new family being thrown into that. Hope to see you all back soon.

[@Killermcknight]

Glad to hear that! Some days, that’s the biggest accomplishment someone can have. Keep at it and know that we’re here for you 🫶🏻

[@jules.8443]

I have only just subscribed today & you have too many videos for me to seacrh through. But you should do some reactions to Michael McIntyre, Peter Kay & Lee Evans. All 3 are very funny. They have their own stand up comedian shows on KZbin.

[@jules.8443]

Oh & if you want to watch a funny program, watch Father Ted. You can't be someone who gets offended easily or you wont enjoy it. It''s NOT suitable for children.

[@geoff2504]

“Bin”. Where you bin?

[@Killermcknight]

Where I've always bin.

[@Socrates...]

Americans have more descriptive language because they are not traditionally a homogenous society.

[@adeleheywood7454]

There is no ‘right’ and ‘wrong’. Language evolves and changes over time and from one place to another and I love that 😊

[@Killermcknight]

I fully agree! I think that makes it really fun and exciting, personally.

[@Crantock-l1v]

@@Killermcknight There is always right and wrong, what makes it fun is that everyone thinks they are right and we all have a laugh arguing about who is wrong. My friends and I try to slip large words into regular conversations, like indefatigable or eqidistant we've evolved past mocking each others normal word choices now and give complimentary noises for big words...lol

[@WookieWarriorz]

but american english has clearly devolved to the point where normal english is too hard for them to understand because they speak in overly descriptive pre-prepared lines. I swear i can predict the next like 15 seconds of speech from americans by the first few words because they repeat the same lines.

[@WookieWarriorz]

@@Crantock-l1v yea a lot of americans just dont really like playing with words and language like we do in the uk. Like i dont want to say canned lines, the same phrases over and over, i dont want to call something the same word everytime, i want to be silly and goofy and real english has so so many ways to do this. Like americans have told me they never know what im going to say next and im like ??? yea thats why you pay attention and listen for context, im trying to have a real chat not just say canned lines.

[@Killermcknight]

@WookieWarriorz your a wizard Harry!

[@princesspeach729]

Tea kettle. Why call it a tea kettle? It's just a kettle.

[@Killermcknight]

Good one! I have heard people call it a tea kettle. I just call it a kettle.

[@jenniferclay1485]

i used to think you guys had a strange activity called letter riding

[@p.j.berman9060]

Different dialects in Europe…well, that’s just the beginning!

[@Killermcknight]

😂 he meant languages and accents

[@johncooper3392]

Presenters Sound is not correct same as last video. Uk

[@lindamarshall-wc4yt]

Dumb means without the ability to speak. For some reasons American equated that with being stupid.

[@pampennyworth]

What I find very annoying is KZbinrs that spends 3 minutes of a 9 minute video talking about themselves. That’s not counting the added interruptions too.
