Turn-up is not cuff, turn-ups are what you have at the bottom of your trousers, or chinos or slacks or pants... if you have a little bit turned up - a crumb catcher. A cuff is usually the end of your sleeve in the UK, either on a jumper or a jacket, never heard them referred to as turn ups in the UK. However you may turn up your cuff, it's still a cuff but it's turned up, or you may 'roll up your sleeves'. Which also means get stuck in and do some work.

Argument = row ( as in COW) Baby carriage = pram ( as in SAM ) From the word PARAMBULATOR ( original word for PRAM) Chequers = draughts ( as in DRAFTS) Kerosene = paraffin ( PARA as in PARAchute and FIN ). PERIOD in the UK means woman's " monthly cycle" !!

Bobby comes from Sir Robert Peel who was a the politician who was responsible for the formation of the first police force in the U.K., they were colloquially known as “Bobby’s boys” which eventually became bobbies. You might hear references to “a Bobby on the beat” which is a police officer on patrol (usually on foot).

Hey JT, that was an ok score. Couple of the ones you missed have pronunciation booby traps too. Row, as in an argument, rhymes with cow so people know it’s nothing to do with propelling a boat with oars, and the game of draughts is pronounced exactly like drafts. Also cold air coming in around a badly fitted door or window is also a draught, beer served on tap is a draught beer, a massive horse bred for pulling wagons (often beer wagons) is a draught horse, and someone who creates detailed engineering drawings is a draughtsman. All these are pronounced exactly like ‘draft’, and I assume we spell them that way for the same reason that ‘ugh is pronounced as an ‘f’ sound in words like cough and rough. But if you’ve written an early version of a letter, speech or script then that is spelled draft. We haven’t had a military draft for a long time and don’t have any sports with drafts, but we know what those terms mean and would spell them with an f.

Contrary to what some are saying we do say turnups not cuffs for trousers, and we do say silencer not muffler. Maybe those saying otherwise are younger and influenced by self-styled fashionistas for cuffs, and American programmes for muffler. A muffler is a cloth tube worn around the neck by us motorcyclists.

"Slang" is a misnomer for some of these words. My definition of "slang" is words or phrases you would not use in formal speech or in formal writing. Most of these British words are the formal words used in British English for these objects or concepts e.g. knickers, jumper, torch, lorry, dummy, motorway etc. "Loo" and "snog", I would agree, are slang.

• The English call a sausage a 'banger', because when cooked they often explode their skins, usually with a bang or a pop. • The baby carriage is a 'pram', because it is an abbreviation of 'perambulator', a thing that we use to walk [ambulate] somebody around [per]. To perambulate itself means to walk about or meander. • The 'row' that is an argument rhymes with 'how' and 'now', not with 'throw'. • 'Draughts' is pronounced like a 'draught' when air comes in through an open door or window" like 'laugh' with a tee on the end, what Americans would spell as 'drafts'. • 'Paraffin' is pronounced as PA·ra·FIN, like 'parachute'. • And 'brolly' is simply a corruption of the B-R-L within 'umbrella': in the 1800s it even used to be called a 'brelly' first, before it became 'brolly'. Incidentally, an umbrella theoretically differs from a 'parasol', in that a parasol shades us from the sun [Latin sol = sun], but an umbrella shades us from anything [Latin umbra = shade], but more so from the rain. • Curiously, 'diaper' used to be used in English from the mid-1300s until fairly recently.

One car part they didn't include in that quiz is fender, which is 'wing' here in the UK. It might crop up in a future quiz. Some people still call door mirrors 'wing mirrors' as a throwback as some older cars had the mirrors mounted on the front wings. While paraffin in the UK is the same thing as kerosene in the US (aviation fuel), the US meaning of paraffin is what we call 'paraffin wax' over here in the UK (the white wax tea lights and cheap candles are made of).

No, you're wrong. Bumper is bumper on both sides and fender (US) is wing (UK). There were such things as '5mph bumpers' that were fitted to cars in the '70s and '80s in the US which looked fine on their land yachts, but ridiculous on most European and Japanese imports - especially small cars like the 1st generation Honda Civics sold in the US. I lived in Canada and they used the same terminology - there was even an automotive spares company called 'Bumper to Bumper' there. Search "VW front fender" as an example and tell me what you find - it definitely won't be bumpers.

Virtually none of the so called slang is such, virtually all are just ordinary every day terms, and there are others that don't match each other for instance chips are not and never have been fries, chips, fries and French fries are all different. Also sweets is a general term for sweet things including chocolate, chocolates, sugary sweets some of which are candies. Jumpers are very different from sweaters. Also a kiss is just a quick kiss like from a parent to a child or to another relative or friend whereas a snog is usually a prolonged passionate kissing of the type when people are being intimate. And many other complete differences.

In all fairness, this reads like it was written by an older gentleman, or some time ago - some of these words aren't really used much (with what I hear more often in brackets) i.e. codswallop (bollocks), boffin (swot, clever clogs, etc. - with it being derogatory, it's usually a constructed insult), silencer (which I don't think I've ever heard referring to a car's lower exhaust component), subway (underpass), turn-ups (cuffs), paraffin (which is used for lamps and such, but kerosene when it's used in aircraft, despite being the same thing). A banger is usually when paired with mash, and they're sausages when not (i.e. you wouldn't have a banger sandwich). A lorry is a cabin with a long trailer (18-wheelers), and a van is a smaller commercial vehicle. We don't really have pickup trucks, but that style of car is usually lumped in with all 4x4s and SUVs, and maybe called a flatbed 4x4 if it's relevant. Bobby (derived from Robert Peel, who "invented" policing) is uncommon, but there's so many names for rozzers! Watch "Is It The Police?" by The Horne Section on YT for some more British police nicknames. Otherwise it's pretty accurate! Flannel shirts in the UK are either "flannel" or "plaid" (pron: plad). Nowadays mobile sounds a bit odd cause landlines are now the rarer object, so they're just phones. Last thing that stuck out is "row" - pretty common word, but you say the "ow" like if you stub your toe (row, not roh). Also, considering how little British culture penetrates the American market, you did a stellar job! Us Brits see a lot of American cultural influence so the other way round is very easy.

Got to 32 when the timer ran out... but english is a 2nd language to me. The funny thing is that even though I learned british english in school and the UK is just a few hundret kilometers away I knew all the american words and only had problems with the british ones.

You had me shouting at my iPad when you were getting some right but not clicking them 😂😂 You’d pronounce ‘Row’ with an ‘a’ in replacement for an ‘o’, but not saying the word ‘raw’ if you know what I mean?! So not row’, like ‘row your boat’.... bloody hell it’s hard trying to explain this without speaking 😂 Don’t you just love he English Language 😩😩😂😂

Hi honey, check out Bridgwater Carnival 2022. I'm not sure if it's well known in America but its a big thing where I live, a village near Bridgwater in South West England. I was there the weekend gone. This was great to watch, the urge to reach thru the screen was real Xx

Baloney as codswallop is a difficult one if you don't think of the way it's meant. Us from the UK have seen enough US films to understand you say "it's a load of baloney" meaning you're talking crap. We sometimes say "you're talking codswallop". Pretty much the same thing. I can understand how that one is difficult as you've never heard it before. Thanks to us watching.. way more US media than you have watched British in the US. I reckon British people have a better score on this than visa versa.

Correct, the game itself is called 'football', however the governing body of football called the 'Football Association', is what we gave the nickname 'Soccer'. So you can call the game Soccer Football, which would be accurate. Some of those were just nicknames that we use; 'brolly', 'hoover' we all still use their corrects terms, these would have been better in a quiz to guess British nicknames than guessing American equivalent.

Here's some for you! Bostin Bab Yow Yow am Yow roit How am yow (Admittedly lots of that is yow, but ah well) And one of my favourite phrases "till the cows come home". Which I don't think is universal? I think "donkeys years" might be international? Yonks however I think is more English.

row is pronounced like cow, not oh, in this case, but theres also row as in oh as in row of things, paraffin is para-fin , not paraf-in , pram is pronounced as in ham, short for perambulator (!), we call vacuums 'hoovers' as that was THE most common brand here in the uk , and actually originated in the USA so surprised you didnt know it , maybe theyre not in existence over there now??, codswallop is a old word for nonsense, more common is 'bull$#!t' these days 😉sometimes guff, as in 'you're talking a load of old guff' (guff can also mean a fart), we also use the term truck ,but here theyre smaller than lorries,

"draughts" is pronounced "drafts", and "paraffin" is "PAR-uh-fin". And a "row", as in "argument" rhymes with plough, uh, plow. And a baby carriage is a prAm (which rhymes with ham) - it's short for the old term "perambulator", meaning something you walk next to. Brits will recognise most of the US terms because of TV and films (uh, movies), but might quietly snigger at some of them :)
