BRITISH GUY TAKES THE HARDEST US CULTURE QUIZ EVER!

[@JJJRRRJJJ]

Americans do not use barbecue sauce with French fries. It’s ketchup 1000x more often.

[@Mr.Goose77]

I was going to say, I’ve never heard of bbq sauce on fries

[@savannah115]

I have lived in Texas, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Hawaii, New Mexico, Montana, South Dakota, California, Georgia, and Alaska. In all sorts of different cultural regions of the US. And one of the ONLY things that is the same in everyone of them is ketchup on fries. Not saying it's the only condiment, but it's always the most popular. BBQ sauce? I wouldn't even put on the top 5 list.

[@Trifler500]

22:34 - A "rain check" means you can try again another time. For example, if a store is out of stock, they might give you a rain check certifying that you can buy that product when it comes back in stock at the price it was at when they gave it to you. However, this isn't common anymore. The term was originally created when baseball games were cancelled due to rain. They would give them to ticket holders, so they could get in to the next game without having to pay again. The phrase eventually came into common usage. For example, if someone asks you if you'd like to have coffee, you can say you're busy, but can you get a rain check? Meaning you're open to going another time.

So, the first quiz seems like it was aimed at perhaps Asian business people coming to work or sell something here in the US. Many of the "gotcha" answers seemed like things that are kind of normal in Asian job settings. Like receiving praise only to spur the rest of your team on. Or the "don't gesture too much". These are things you are advised on when you go to do business in places like South Korea, Japan, or China.

To "plead the Fifth" is to invoke the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees Americans the right not to incriminate themselves during questioning by a government agency or institution. You invoke it to avoid having to choose between lying under oath or admitting that you committed a crime. You seemed to think it was something like swearing that you're telling the truth, but it's actually almost the opposite: It's a way to legally avoid giving any answer at all.

And college for us is a term that means the same as University, though we also say University. Sometimes people use "college" to differentiate universities from community or state colleges.

[@cjandauntieyaya1446]

No, Junior year is 16-17 and Senior year is 17-18... It is all based upon the age group all the way back in Kindergarten: 5-6 K 6-7 1st ... and so on to 12th. Children are NOT allow to enter K until they turned 5. HOWEVER, in 6th grade children are given a standardized test t see if they can skip middle school (7th or even 8th), but that is very much frowned upon in most cases as that would mean the tween would be socializing with almost adult teens in high school. Some Middle schools include 9th grade as well. You must pass the 12th grade to get your diploma. A person CAN test out of high school by taking the GED (General Education Diploma) but that usually doesn't qualify you for college unless you go in for a probationary period.

There is quite the history of challenges to the Supreme Court about making kids say the Pledge of Allegiance every day in school. Just FYI. For now, the only way to get out of having to stand and give pledge is to get your parents' permission to step out of the classroom every time it's said. And that would be every morning.

[@Brazbit]

Wow things are much different in your state. They stopped doing the Pledge of Allegiance here in 1981 or 1982. Few students around here have probably ever said the pledge in their life if they graduated after 1995 or 1996.

In Texas, we say the pledge of allegiance and the Texas pledge. I assume you’ve heard the American pledge at some point. Texas’ is, “Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible." Lastly, we have a moment of silence that replaces the practice of reciting a Christian prayer which I grew up with. It alienated non-Christian students and went against the separation of church and state.

On the ancestry question keep in mind that most Americans don't identify as ethnically English any more even if their ancestors were English. First because the English got here first so its sort of the "default" culture. Second our English ancestors are so far removed that we don't really feel a connection to England. Third it's more fun to emphasize exotic cultures like German, Irish or Scottish. The survey they use to determine such things is the US Census, an official count by the US government of all citizens, and you're only allowed to put in one ethnicity.

Just saw your video on trying American snacks. I have an easy southern recipe for you to try. It's called eggs and white Sauce. It was a favorite of mine growing up. First you make a grave of butter and white flour. Let the flour and butter combine and on medium heat allow the butter and flour mixture to slowly brown. Then start adding evaporated milk slowly you can use regular whole milk but evaporated milk is ideal do this process slowly as to not create clumps. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toast white bread 2-4 depending on hunger lol. Then cook 2-4 eggs overeasy. Take your toast and put the eggs on top. Then put your gravy over your eggs and toast and that eggs and white sauce. If you want to get dance cook sausage in your gravy and now you have sausage gravy and eggs and toast. If you want send me a message and I can help you cook it but it's a very tasty recipe that's easy to make. It's meant for farmers whole use alot of calories so it's definitely not an every day meal unless your doing manual labor.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the United States of America. And to the Republic, for which it stands, One Nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all." It's less common nowadays, but when I was in school (I graduated High School in 2012), we stood up, placed our hand over our heart, and repeated that every morning. I've been to many schools as a 'Military Brat', and I've never seen a school play any sort of song. The pledge was followed by a moment of silence, where we prayed for those who protected us, died for our Freedom, or you could just stand quietly out of respect for others beliefs.

The question about the Pledge of Allegiance, Star Spangled Banner, Attendance and America the Beautiful at the start of the school day was accurate in the 1950s. In the early 80s they stopped doing all of that other than attendance and after elementary school a lot of teachers know their students and their assigned seat, so they just check off who is missing and save everyone the time. So attendance may be taken, but roll call is mostly a thing of the past. At least around here, a current student would be as confused as you were by the question.

[@DocMadfox]

Not true. Going to school in the 90s we still did attendance, then they'd have us wait for announcements to come on the intercom, or later TV, which would have the pledge beforehand followed by the national anthem. Even then roll call was mostly just "Yeah raise your hand if you're here." It might of changed in the 00s or later, but there were still places doing it in the 90s.

[@Brazbit]

@@DocMadfox Hence why I said around here, I figure there are parts of the country where they still do all of this, other than attendance they stopped doing the other two around 81-82 here. Attendance was always up to the instructor. By the time I was in High School in the 90s they rarely ever asked for rollcall, the instructor just took care of marking off anyone who was missing. As for morning announcements over the PA? That is something I never had the pleasure of listening to. The PA was nearly exclusively used in the event of an emergency or emergency drill. Homeroom was where the teacher would inform us of any schoolwide news and answer questions about such.

I've only ever had one job where I'd get paid for a Holiday I didn't have to work, but the rest of the jobs I've had, if you didn't work on the Holiday, you didn't get paid for it, but we'd at least get time and a half so that was something I guess, lol. As for leave, it's terrible. Most of my jobs would give me maybe 5 sick days or less for the entire year. I'd get paid for those days, but any sickness after those 5 days were unpaid. And we'd get "vacation time" - but what that meant was, we could take a week off (in one place I worked I could take 2!), but it wasn't paid time off. You basically just had to sacrifice your check in that instance - so plenty of people just never used their vacations at all.

@@LadyBeyondTheWall yes, that's exactly how my jobs have been. You were just allowed to take that time, you didn't get paid for it.

Christmas day is the only holiday my job pays for

What's funny is the hamburger is American, while apple pie was originally English.
