Brit Reacts to 6 Reasons I Actually Love Living in the USA

[@Marndarrr]

For drunk, in Texas I most commonly hear “wasted” or “hammered,” or sometimes “loaded,” “smashed,” or “trashed.” We say “pissed” or “pissed off” only to mean severely angry.

[@Lulabee2024]

Not just Texas my friend 😄Midwest here and its the same😎

[@task_master6115]

Same in the East

[@xNYCMarc]

How about shit-faced?

[@neutrino78x]

it would be funny if were were in a "pub" in Britain and somebody said "be right back, gotta go take a piss" and the other person replied "but you're already doing that, mate!" lmao

[@xNYCMarc]

@@neutrino78x In Brit English “take the piss” means to joke around.

[@u140550]

No we don’t use pissed as drunk, but pissed is extremely angry or mad. 5:02

I live in the woods in Montana, and it's not scary at night. I sit out on the deck at night and just enjoy the quiet and the stars. You can actually see millions of stars, and it's pretty amazing

[@missflowerpower8724]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jennysjourney02]

That sounds amazing and peaceful. I love Montana.

[@kathybouziane5269]

I'm in the country in Wisconsin. Doing the same on my deck away from city lights. Feeling a breeze and listening to crickets. Theres a " blue moon" tonight too. Enjoy !

[@SorcererLance]

Really now? No bears, wolves or cougars or anything to keep your guard up?

[@jeremygates9374]

Same at my parents folks in Louisiana..they have a log house right on the lake and at night..WOW! Stars…frogs…crickets…deer running through the yard on occasion…kick back with a nice 🥃 and just enjoy every time I’m home! ❤️

[@lindaabbott7120]

Living in the woods or country is not scary at night. The cities at night scares me. Because in the country or woods, there's no one else is there. And if someone comes, you will see the headlights, or whatever they are using for light. You can not see your hands in front of your face, so if you go anywhere at night, you need a light

[@kathybouziane5269]

Exactly ! If you're that paranoid get a couple big ass dogs that bark at any alarm ;-) My mom in the city used to lock her garage, house and yard up like it was Alcatraz.

[@lynnw7155]

Same with me. Cities are scary. Rural living is the best. Where I live now you can hear a car coming down the road half a mile away. Any light outside at night needs to be investigated. My area is getting built up and I can now see 2 neighbors houses from my house. That's getting kind of crowded.

[@silky0439]

The woods around your house allows you to watch beautiful deer come through your yard, sometimes families, a doe and a fawn or two especially in the snow. It’s the most beautiful thing in the world to see. Many animals come and pick their way through. Lots of squirrels, raccoons some possums and Yech skunks. Further north black bears wander into some yards. Luckily, we lived far enough south that they didn’t come that far. (Thank God!)

[@silky0439]

@@sheilaharrison8547 yes, and we lived right next to the Rippawam River, so they had plenty of water. Salt licks were easy but the veggies were difficult because the raccoons were little thieves! God gave them masks for a reason lol.

[@kebonhawk1081]

I wouldn't like to live without trees around my house. They provide shade, places for birds and squirrels to do what they do... Yes there are some animals that you don't want around but in my experience if you let them be it's all ok. They're not going to break into your house. But as was said in another comment, walking out your door in the morning and having a herd of deer just chilling just off your front porch is cool AF. Raccoons however, suck. They're way too smart.

[@lynnw7155]

I live in Pennsylvania in the middle of the woods and it looks like Lawrence's road trip. It's not scary at night; I don't walk in the woods at night, but mostly because I end up tripping over fallen trees and things. Most wildlife hears you coming a mile away and gets out of your way. It's better to sit quietly in your yard and wait for wildlife to come to you. We have families of deer, turkey, raccoons, possums, skunks, and at least one bear (though we've only seen it once) on our property. Fox and coyote pass through.

[@silky0439]

@@lynnw7155 I have to admit, I love the nature of the northeast. I was born and raised in Connecticut and I love the New England States. Ok, that was a little too biased! I actually just love the northeast. We have some of the most diversely populated wildlife ever. I might as well as just encompass the entire East coast, everything from cougars, black bears and chipmunks to alligators. You name it, we have it.

[@garycamara9955]

We don't have many bears here. I've actually never seen one. But mountain lions, yep we even had one in our yard.

[@faithinjesus7817]

Funny Story... My 16 year old son {at the time} was helping me change the tire {great learning experience} and as he is loosing the lug nuts a bird pooped on his head. This bird let loose dead center on his head. My son said "What just dropped on my head"? And I said "A bird just sh*t on your head". {Not laughing...yet}. I told him to go to the local eatery and clean up. After he left I LMAO. When he returned I had all my giggles out and we just attacked the tire. We speak of it sometimes, but with laughter.

[@ATLcentury334]

In the 1970’s I was a teenager. One summer, a cousin of my fathers from the U.K. was traveling in the U.S. and wanted to visit us. She was staying with my grandmother for a few weeks. She was very charming and I helped her with banking she needed to do. I remember after she arrived, she and my mother and I went into the yard behind our house. It was an average sized backyard, noting fancy. She was surprised and asked if the backyard was ours too. We said of course, but she found it hard to realize. We saw her just the one summer. I always wished I’d kept in touch with her.

[@OkiePeg411]

Houston, Texas has a whole city underground!!! Because its so hot that no one would shop at stores or eat at restaurants or walk the sidewalks above ground. You park, go underground and shop and eat/do business.

[@danhaggerty847]

Another thing that tends to go unmentioned about American history is the colonies themselves prior to independence. We also learn a lot about English history, especially the magna Carta and the English Civil War, because it's important to our own history.

[@Kim-427]

He said something that explains why they think we don’t have history. They don’t teach it to them in school. And what’s really sad is I’m from one of the first colonies Pennsylvania. In the city of Pittsburgh where I live there are remnants of the British all around my city especially in the area I live in. There is a Liverpool St. an area named Manchester. I live on Sheffield St. lol There is a bridge across town that’s named the Birmingham bridge. I hear different Brit KZbinrs same on particular videos look there are British names of thing here on their map😳 They don’t even know why that is it’s a shame really. Because maybe if they understood our history with the British there could be a little more understanding.

[@reindeer7752]

Everyone seems to ignore that there were advanced civilizations on the American continents before the European invasion.

[@mekko1413]

@@reindeer7752 - This is statement is just as ignorant as the people that ignore there were civilizations on the American continet. First of all you don't say everyone as by you making the very statement proves your statement wrong. Secondly there is a difference between an invasion and colonization, lastly advance is very subjective because the american natives were not advance compared to the rest of the world. So you have to provide context when making a subjective comment as if it is fact. With out context its just an opinion and it doesn't mean crap. So get off your woke arse

[@lesscoRyden]

I'm pleased to announce that in 39 years of being in America, I've only been pooped on by a bird once. If you say you're pissed in America.. people will thing you're extremely angry and will likely get the heck out of your way in case you go postal. also there are 197 countries.

[@marygeiger7409]

The quiet of the woods was difficult at night for 2 weeks. Now town is loud. I love the owls and crickets.

[@lesscoRyden]

I am one who lives in the forest/Jungle. It's technically the only Temperate Rainforest on the east coast of North America. And to answer your question. No, it's not scary at night. It's peaceful. You can see every star in the sky, Listen to the owls, and coyotes along other nightlife out doing their things. It might help knowing I have the added security of the 2nd amendment, but I've never had to do anything more than shoot a round into the ground to scare off a bear that was trying to get into garbage.

[@casswatchesthings]

You know, the nice thing about living in NC in the south is that my state has such a wide range of landscapes. We have the Appalachian Trail where the Cherokee Native Americans still have a reserve in the mountains. We have a ton of agricultural lands, and our main income in the state comes from farming. We are also on the coast, so we have beautiful beaches on the Atlantic Ocean.

[@GrammaNay]

Nothing more stunning than topping a hill and see nothing but rolling hills festooned in grass and Blue Bonnets (the State flower). Then there's the coast, West Texas (Big Bend), the Piney Woods (east) the plains (North). And that's one State.

Summer and Fall in New England are wonderful. Winter is cold and gray and often extends into Spring. Also, if you want to learn about the Revolutionary War, Boston is the place to visit.

Like any large city here now, always make your choices on where you visit with your own safety as your first priority...no way go to NYC , Chicago or Portland OR....the crime is sky high & the police will not respond to rapes, beatings, car jacking, stealing at all right now. The DA's have a no bail policy & if arrested they are let back on the street by the end of the day. Research where you should go carefully. Some States ARE ALOT MORE SAFER than sancuary cities-stay out if those...oh & do not fly into the Denver or Chicago airports they are full of illegals living in them...hate to say all of this but it is reality in the US right now.

This is Sarasota County south of Tampa. Last year we had a lot of cleanup and damage from Hurricane Ian, so I'm glad we are only experiencing the outer bands of Idalia. I wish you could feel this air and experience this effect. There's nothing like rain from a hurricane. It's so warm and blustery, the way the rain splatters and the leaves of palms and bananas blow sideways. I love it. Wish it wasn't night time so I could see it. Prayers for all in Idalia's landfall path. 🙏 Be safe.

It's interesting you don't learn much American history in school. Of course we did, but I also vividly remember doing a report in 3rd grade (8yo) on Queen Elizabeth I, including making a paper Tudor dress and red curly wig. Got me interested in English history to this day.

I live in Tucson, AZ. Right now, our nights are around 55F at night and 70s and 80s during the day. People golf here year-round. We have many snowbirds who live here in the winter and go back to wherever they live the rest of the year as soon as it starts to become hot (we do get very hot in summer). You should come to see our beautiful Sonoran Desert. October and early November are the absolutely wonderful though. No, we say we are drunk, plastered, legless but not pissed. You can see the Spanish history here in the Tucson area that goes back over 500 years. Mission San Xavier on the Tohono O'Odham reservation just outside Tucson is a Spanish mission church and is still the parish church for the Toho O'Odham people. It's amazing.

We love, love, love to walk down the access road going south just to look at the stars, since there's no light pollution. Instead of being scary, it's really peaceful. We're surrounded by wildlife which is amazing-in fact 3 days ago a flock of about 50 wild turkeys strolled through the barnyard, down the drive and headed down to the river.

[@jooleebilly]

Pissed isn't something we use to describe being "drunk." I remember that's one thing they changed in "Shawn Of The Dead" so they didn't confuse the American audience - when they saw the first zombie, Shawn says "She's so DRUNK!" Simon also said it was just a funnier word. Anyway, at least in California, we use "smashed", "hammered" "shitfaced", "messed up", "trashed", "fucked up", "shitty", "falling-down drunk", "lit", "wearing beer goggles" - to explain why you hit on that unattractive person you thought was super hot while drunk. Also some older ones like "blotto", "three sheets (to the wind)", "tipsy", etc. Some of them in the list are also used to describe just being high on the substance of your choosing, (like "messed up", "trashed", "fucked up", "lit") but all *can* be applied to being drunk. Come to California when you visit the US! We have all the climates (temperate rainforests, deserts, mountains, beaches), lots of sights like Yosemite and a ton of State parks too. And big cities. And crazy good food from all over the world. It's more expensive than most places in the US (except Hawai'i), but I bet you can find places to crash for free (you can stay at my place for your trip through NorCal), and there are plenty of things that *aren't* that expensive, like parks and hikes and such. If you come to CA in October, any wildfires should be put out, and it shouldn't be too hot. March to September in NorCal = No Promises on the weather.

Do your research and take the 'off the beaten track' trips. You'll discover beauty in the smaller State Parks as well. Expect a lot of road travel between sights. The Nevada deserts where I live are very hot, dusty and barren in summer but in the cooler fall you can camp out away from towns and experience a clear night sky of bright stars and land void of any sound.

The darkness in the rural roads of Wyoming caught me by surprise. My Mom grew up there so we visited. The number of stars in the sky that are visible is crazy. There are a lot of places that are remote and beautiful

[@kathleengale4125]

Nighttime in America is why most of us protect our right to firearms. You wouldn't want to be caught in the dark by a mountain lion or bear. However, as long as you are prepared to be there, there is nothing more soothing than just listening to the night noises...owls, crickets, frogs. No cars, no crowds... heaven

[@Mtndude76]

Living out in the country side is awesome, most people who live there were raised there but not all, and get you some dogs they'll let you know when someone is on your property. I live in the south in extreme northeast Alabama and our weather has not been all that hot this year, like today it was in the low 80s and right now at a guarter after 7 its 76 degrees and next week we will have highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s, not bad at all. Texas has taken most of the heat this year.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Each state has their own special places to see.....to experience! Where I live you can't throw rock without hitting a lake! Lol. We also have sand dunes here.....lighthouses...so much more! And there's a ton of history here in Michigan....by itself!

[@kenmcfann8128]

Pissed means angry in America, I've never heard a drunk American 🥴 used the term pissed used concerning drinking

[@reginafromrio]

I've traveled around the world and Taiwanese and Americans are the nicest people I've ever met.❤

[@emmcccllkk7780]

Yep from Virginia (looks a lot like 11:44 ) and I live in a house thats pretty much in the woods. It can be scary at night if you're not used to it.

[@Estranged180]

Weather for us, particularly in upstate NY, is an odd sort of thing. One minute, it's hot enough to cook an egg on your car, with enough humidity to stick your clothes to your skin, 5 minutes later, you're drenched from being out in the downpour we all knew was coming 3 days ahead of time. That's just summer. In the winter, it's a mixed bag. You'll get warm-ish days (albeit 40°F isn't exactly warm by some standards), or you'll get those days when it's literally dangerous to stay outside for too long because of exposure. Stay out too long in the winter, your flesh will freeze. Frostbite is a thing around here. The fun part about winter is the first major snowfall, and you get to watch how many people forgot how to drive.

[@strikethatreverseit9108]

I’m from the Midwest and a couple weeks ago it was 95-100 degrees everyday for around 7 or so days. This week coming up the forecast is saying 90 degrees everyday.

[@taramahoney2412]

I love watching you Brits talking and comparing both USA and Great Great Britain's differences. I am learning a lot.

[@LoloD1833]

I’ve was born and raised in Indianapolis, lived in California, Georgia, Florida, Utah, Japan, Philippines, The UK. I loved living in Georgia out in the Boondocks (that word originated in the Philippines). To look up and see the stars and not hear the noise of the city. I live in Utah now, in the mountains, same thing!

[@jimgreen5788]

L3WG, he mentioned very lightly that we have some beautiful national parks. But, he has one video where he visited one of the state parks here in IL, and raved about it as well. There are also county forest preserves, etc. I went to my computer document on the subject just now, and was reminded that presently there are 198 countries, plus a bunch of territories. On the subject of our history, there are still reservations, some huge and mostly out West, and 10 or so still have people in the thousands speaking the tribal language, the Navajo (NAV-uh-hoe) having over 200,000, and more than half in various stages of fluency--mostly in AZ. Re. getting scared at night, I've heard of a teacher from the LA area taking his students for a "treat" beyond the city to Death Valley. However, when they arrived, the kids were certain a bear was going to eat them the second the stepped out of the van, plus the realization that they weren't surrounded by 1000 people for the first time, so they refused. It's all in what you're accustomed to.

[@tomlevi2106]

I look forward to seeing videos of people reacting to your videos in the U.S. I hope you come in the near future.

[@susanbrynt]

I dream of an isolated cabin in the woods, and on a lightly inhabited lake. Can you imagine the stars showing on the lake at night? That would be heaven on earth. There are a lot of things wrong with the US. But it is beautiful, You couldn't see all of the beauty in a lifetime. Just get away from the big cities and chose what you want to see.

[@RandiBeeman]

Spring is nice in the midwest, but summer can be far too hot in Chicagoland. It is nicer by the lake, though,

[@valeriekokenge659]

Lots of history! I live in New Mexico and our capital city, Santa Fe, was established in the 1500s. There are lots of churches that are hundreds of years old, built by Spanish settlers in the southwest and the south (Florida). Vikings settled in the northeast. First Europeans to establish colonies were in the 1600s. You can visit Anasazi Indian ruins in the southwest region that date back to the 10th and 11th centuries. Cahokia Native American mounds in Illinois date back to the 700s. There is evidence of prehistoric people from 15,000 to 130,000 years ago in California.

[@rustyc]

Living in the middle of the woods isn't too scary at night. For me, I'd just get a little nervous if I heard certain noises, but I knew there really wasn't anything out there that would fly out of the woods at me.

[@dalemoore8582]

Ever seen Bigfoot??? 😂

[@SuePajcic]

For drunk there are a lot of phrases. Sh-t faced, etc but my favorite is three sheets to the wind. It's an oldie but a goodie!

[@SugahShy]

That barren field shown could be a bit of farmland that has already been harvested and is being conditioned for the next sowing.

[@sherilynkd]

We are in West Virginia now out in the country surrounding by trees. Yes we have had coyotes and bears but not a big deal.

[@NurseEmilie]

That's why we have air conditioning ! And it's only very hot in July and August ! I live in NC, very close to the SC border. I think we have perfect weather; I live near Charlotte, NC. Our weather never gets terrible. Hardly ever have any snow. This year, 2023 we didn't have any snow. I like living here, and we're not far from the Smokey Mountains, which are so magical !

[@susanaVelez93]

One time when it was coat weather here, I was apparently standing too close to a telephone wire and a bird pooped on the shoulder of my coat. At least my head wasn't shat on! 😂

[@franceswoodyard1168]

I live in southern Missouri. Living in the country on a geavel road with woods surrounding my home. I just make sure all my work is done before nightfall. If i have to go out in the dark, i bring a flashlight. The only time i get scared is when the coyotes are nearby and howling.

[@BTinSF]

I'm on the west coast. Today's high temp was 21C. It's a country that has whatever kind of weather you require. No, we don't say "pissed" for drunk. "Pissed" means angry pretty much exclusively. I don't understand British KZbinrs trash talking British scenery. Maybe, like you, I am getting as distorted picture from movies, but I've seen parts that look beautiful. Places like the English Lake District, the Cornish moors, the Scottish highlands, the great historical estates all over the country.

[@robwalls6057]

I live in a dense wooded area and at night when it's cloudy , it's so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face. So I had to install a bunch of motion detection lights. Of course at night is when all the critters come out and so you'll be sitting in the living room watching TV and the front or side yard lights will be activated and you're like what is it this time, a deer, bear, coyote or whatever so you peek out the window and hope it's something that's not going to be an issue. I'll admit sometimes late at night I don't look out to see what it is because I don't want to know.

[@melissajackson4173]

The weather. That’s a rough one. It’s either way too hot or to darn cold. Right now I’m expecting a tropical storm from Hurricane Idalia. It hit Florida and just waiting for the rains in Lake Wylie South Carolina. I used to live in Florida 16 years, so I have seen hurricanes. I personally don’t think I can live up north and deal with blizzards.

[@marksmith4892]

About the weather, it's not really right to say it's better or worse than the UK, it's just different and a matter of preference, but actually it's not even necessarily about preferences either because when you adapt to the different climates here you might like it. For example, let's say in the summer there's a day that gets really hot like 85-90 degrees fahrenheit. Well that's a beautiful day to head to the beach or go swimming in a local lake. The heat is part of what makes it fun, and in the cool of the evening and night, people will make bonfires and roast marshmallows. It wouldn't be the same if the weather were always slightly chilly because the lakes would be too cold and at night everyone would be freezing. Also in the winter there is sledding, cross-country skiing, slope skiing and snowboarding, snowmobiling, Christmas (which isn't the same without snow), etc. But you see the flipside to this is, days when it's so hot all you want to do is sit inside with the air conditioning, the commute to work is miserable, the humidity can be suffocating especially in the deep south, etc. and in winter, there is shoveling your driveway or hiring someone to do it, water pipes freezing if you don't let a trickle of water flow at all the faucets, icy walkways/sidewalks/pavements, etc. And then of course the changing seasons also present opportunities. For instance my aunt doesn't have much money but she has enough to own a home in Michigan and a retirement trailer park trailer in Florida, so in summers she lives in Michigan where the temperatures are mild/perfect all season long, and in winter she goes to Florida where it's the same story. She has friends and family in both locations so she has perfect weather 365 days a year. In the UK, you have no such options. You are stuck with the weather you get. But, you typically have mild weather all year round, not the oppressive extremes like we do. On the other hand, you get too much rain. Moral of the story is, there are tradeoffs no matter where you live and you have to select the ones that suit you best. Personally? I love having all 4 seasons and wouldn't want to live in San Diego where it's a perfect 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit all year round even if I could.

[@sherryarflin726]

You have to see the beauty in those flatlands and trees. Because as beautiful as the mountains and canyons and waters are, so are the flatlands.

[@OkiePeg411]

I also think deserts are beautiful. I have only gone through a true desert once in my 20s. I did appreciate the beauty and would have enjoyed stopping and really taking it in. But my inlaws (now x-inlaws) wouldn't stop. I was thinking to myself... Why visit the desert if you don't stop and really experience it? They only stopped about 15 minutes at White Sands. I really was disappointed when they started getting in the car. 😔

[@theagingbeginner]

There are 195 countries in the world, and yes, some of us live on 100 acres of land with trees all around us and some of us live in cities where the house I own is the middle of the city but I have an acre that it sits on.

England is legendary. I’m impressed with the archives and record keeping

[@whitneyr.846]

I go to the pike street Starbucks when I'm in the city, Which is the first Starbucks... is that historic ? Lol.. I actually love the underground Seattle tour and learning about the city before & after the great Seattle fire

[@neutrino78x]

Yeah it's been hot in the Bay Area lately, although San Francisco Bay shields us from the worst of it, because the fog cools everything off overnight and in the morning. But 96 F (35.5 C) is predicted for tomorrow, and I hate it when it gets hotter than about 80 F (26 C). 🙂I'm inside enjoying my air conditioner right now 🙂 Yeah pissed = angry, never drunk lol

[@bridgetgrimes7524]

No fear living in the woods it's peaceful I grew up living in the woods saw wildlife up close watched a deer give birth in the field behind the house no fear night was Beautiful learned consolations. Would go back in a second

[@JaimeMason]

We live in the city of Dallas 7 mins from downtown. Our area has a big neighborhood, but it's a wooded area. We get a lot of animals. Foxes, owls, we've seen a bear cub, coyotes, lots of raccoons & possums, as well. Our dog killed a possum outside & 1 in the house.
