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.

[@Lloyd-Franklin]

Its funny seeing the comments on the original video from Americans. They can't seem to grasp that trash can and waste paper basket are different types of bins for different content. Not to mention how defensive they get which makes their comments even funnier.

[@Killermcknight]

Oh really?? Interesting. Going to have to google to see what it is. Maybe a small bin to put paper in to be recycled or shredded? I don’t know what else it could be, so I’ll turn to google.

@@Killermcknight seriously .. in Australia we have simply 'rubbish bins'. a little one under your desk (where everyone knows you don't put food waste, because ants and fungi will get yucky), then the there is the kitchen bin, and we have the equivalent of a trash can or rubbish bin. which is a 'wheelie bin'. if they still have 'trashcan's in theUK i'd be surprised.. think trashcan think sesame street, think oscar the grouch. we haven't had them in Australia for years.

We just call it riding. The horse is implied. 😁

[@Killermcknight]

Ohhhh interesting!

[@Killermcknight]

How do you distinguish riding a horse from riding a bicycle or motorcycle?

[@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.

[@Killermcknight]

I’d be interested in that as well!

[@mnomadvfx]

Of course in some parts of the world that could just as easily be camels, donkeys or even elephants.

[@seanscanlon9067]

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.

It's refreshing to see Americans who can laugh at themselves. Self deprecating humour is a very British thing. I had to laugh when u said different dialects across Europe? They're called languages. Across the UK and Ireland there are many accents all with local words that an outsider wouldn't understand. U can go 40 miles and get a new accent in the UK. I'm certain there are videos on KZbin showing that. Could b a good watch for u.

[@incamoran9532]

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.

[@Killermcknight]

Ya know…. I never even realized any of that until you said it. Things that make you go “hmmmm”! Althouuuughhhh…. I’m obsessed with Halloween, so I will always say Happy Halloween, because it makes me happy! lol

[@Ennoenno02]

As an american I see what you mean. But maybe it's because we don't care if the rest of the world know what we mean or not. Because we don't think about what the world thinks. But it seems like the rest of world thinks about what we're doing a little too much, don't ya think? 🤷‍♂️

[@gbulmer]

@@Killermcknight Noah Webster tried to improve English spelling. Clearly "plow" is easier to pronounce correctly first time, and easier to derive from hearing the word spoken, than "plough". There was a shift in pronunciation in Britain over several centuries *_after_* spellings were 'frozen". Then a bunch of academics decided to make the Latin or Greek roots of some words more explicit by changing spellings, simply because they were smart-ar5es. English is maybe the only major language that doesn't have an official, mandated, organisation managing and fixing it. Hence it's a mess. I feel no pride or satisfaction that native English speaking children take about 10-20 months longer to become competent reading and writing in their language than, for example, native Spanish or Italian speaking children. Noah had the right idea. Best Wishes. ☮

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.

Sorry to burst Americans bubble but the USA is not a very good place to live. The USA is the only country in the world where children have to undergo active shooter drills in schools, the USA is the only country that is not currently at war where there are multiple mass shootings every year. The USA has the lowest minimum wage out of all industrialised nations. The USA has the most expensive medical industries in the world but it also has one of the worst medical industries. 2 out of 3 people who need medical treatment will have their insurance company refuse to pay. The USA also has the highest rate of misdiagnosis in the industrialised world. The USA is based around the car, so if you don't drive, you will struggle to get anywhere. The USA has the lowest life expectancy of all industrialised nations. The USA has one of the world's most expensive costs of living. The USA has the highest percentage of people in jail in the world and this is mostly because of the for-profit private prisons. The majority of people who are in jail are awaiting trial but could not afford to pay bail. The average wait time is 2 years. The USA has a two party political system and due to the electoral collage system your vote is not equal to someone else's vote depending on where you live, the president can be elected even without getting the majority of votes. Convicted criminals can run for the presidency, unlike the majority of other democracies worldwide. The American education system uses a sliding scale so students who would not pass their exams in other countries can be A grade students. The American college and university systems are designed for profit over education to the point that American college graduates have around the same level of education as Australian high school graduates. Almost every American who moves to another country is surprised just how much better other countries are compared to the USA. Yes, Americans deserve better but you first must realise just how bad things are and then fight to make things better.

Youre not getting the british satire....a waste paper basket is not what you are thinking it is....

[@col4022]

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.

The same with calling your pudding, served after the main course, a dessert. No posh/rich person would ask for dessert. We also don't say "Cheerio.

Oh the two finger V sign which some Americans do, which to Brits means "eff off" but they think it means Victory or Peace.

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.

John Ross is the host, the comedian making the comments is Michel McIntyer.

[@Killermcknight]

Yeah that was a mixup of words

[@siankinrade1994]

Americans speak and spell Americish, Brits speak and spell English. Trust me, I'm a Brit and have studied this.😅

[@Killermcknight]

😂 love it.

[@erickortenbach4355]

you guys are great sports

[@Vanu-i4o]

Ironically a lot of the words Americans took over and we changed, including the accents.

[@davidmckie7128]

The thing about boot - trunk and waistcoat = vest etc., is like you took our language from the Pilgrim Fathers and then decided after becoming independant to change words and distance yourselves from the original English. However place names named after Uk places still have the UK names so it is not consistent.

[@ta2gypsy]

Y'all are hilarious!! Remember 'hot water heater' smh

[@Killermcknight]

😂😂😂 wait what do you call it?

[@mnomadvfx]

React to more Michael McIntyre, he's hilarious.

Please do a blind reaction to Hi ren - by Ren. The picture is a guy playing a guitar sat in a wheelchair with a hospital gown on. INSANE talent! It’s a 6min long song but you won’t regret it!

[@philiprowney]

First time view, nearly lost me @ 55, then 'the missus' started laughing at you... Our pints our bigger, our gallons are bigger and we got more kinds of 'pudding' than you can ever imagine :-P Good fun.

[@Killermcknight]

So glad you stuck around! Like I said… a lot of people don’t get our humor. It’s all in good fun. Haha ooh yes, recently tried Yorkshire pudding 😋

[@myrarowlands9216]

You refined English, your joking 'like'....🇬🇧😂

[@Killermcknight]

Heyyyyy now….. he’s the one who said that (jokingly)… don’t come at me more my excessive “like”s (that I’m trying to quit) 🤣🤣

[@keithgrant7950]

what do you recon to Pony Tracking or Monroe Bagging.🤣🤣

[@Killermcknight]

Not even the SLIGHTEST idea 🤣🤣 bagging though I definitely think something dirty lol

[@keithgrant7950]

@@Killermcknight Pony Trekking ( spelling correction) is like a junior version of Horse (back) ridding, usually using Shetland Ponies which were previously used as pit pony's hauling carts in the mines. Munro Bagging is a list of Hills/Mountains over 3,000 Ft that you climb in Scotland. There are 282 official Munros and bagging is an activity in which hikers, climbers, and mountaineers attempt to reach a collection of summits, published in the form of a list which as you climb each one you tick it off the list you bought. 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. 😊😊🧡

[@tomroberts3673]

I honestly can't stand Micheal MacIntyre, but he occasionally nails in. This is one of those moments.

[@kevinhorrell4700]

I worked for an english company that was taken over by an American company.so we had a mix of people. I have to say you guy,s have a great sense of humour we just tried to out stupid each other with joke,s I think you won great times/guys. never a boring day.

[@Killermcknight]

Haha yaaaayyyyy, thanks!

[@JohnResalb]

Well, when I was filling up my car at the petrol station, I went to the toilet and turned on the tap to wash my hands. Then I adjusted my trousers and went back to the counter to buy a packet of crisps and some biscuits. Afterwards I threw the empty crisp bag in the rubbish and looked for the way-out sign. Then I drove home, making sure to stay on the left side of the road, and left again round the numerous roubdabouts en route. Finally, at the red light, I stopped to look for the motorway signs.

[@Lanipax]

You guys are awesome ❤

[@Killermcknight]

🫶🏻

[@MrDunkycraig]

All you have to know is the language is English! So were right😂😂😂😂

[@Killermcknight]

😂

[@beejkumar5824]

No, We (USA) does not understand English English. 🤣🙄🤣😳🤣🤫🤣🤓🤣🤡

[@abbyyoung9678]

Most annoying thing has happened to me twice in different parts of america. I simply asked for a bottle of water. It took interventions from other people, substituting the letter t's for d's cos apparently they don't understand what I've asked for 🙄😡. So essentially these strangers had to say " can she get a boddle of wadder" in order to be understood. Saaaaaaake!!!!!

[@yilomina2047]

🤣🤣🤣

[@tomroberts3673]

If you think "English English" is all posh you're way of the mark. Most of it is not (particularly in the north east where I'm from). We're rough as fuck lol. You'd struggle to understand the Geordie accent/dialect (might be a good idea for a video!)

[@mikdavies5027]

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

[@Silentauditor974]

Only, it’s not a can is it!? Hmm? Hmm? No it’s not! 😂

[@Killermcknight]

😂

[@Andy.01_uk]

Hello,I'm new to your channel.. it would be great to watch you guys react to an episode of the British comedy "Only Fools And Horses"

[@petercharles2347]

You’re missus is really sweet

[@Socrates...]

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

[@keithdockrell2889]

We do have different humour in UK, the best in my opinion, not regulated in swear words and our outrageous crude jokes on tv either. We take the micky out of ourselves too, so its nothing personal… They say what they want here… graham Norton has one of the best talk shows here… its natural, we all love our own countries, but the history and the architecture we have here, i wouldn't live anywhere else.

[@myrarowlands9216]

😂😂😂❤

[@kernow9324]

Thanks for taking it the way it was intended😀

[@underwaterbubbles]

I'm sure us Brits sound different in many ways to Americans.

[@philiprowney]

Here's something to think about when it comes to UK-US diction. In the US you tend to describe what you do with something... In the UK we describe what it IS! [ because we invented most of the tech so we have had to explain ] 'side walk' you walk at the side of something. 'Path' - it goes somewhere, it it not secondary to the road it is next to!!! 'wrench' - you pull on nuts with it. 'Spanner' - a bit of metal than fits a nut. I could go on all night. Gasoline - a *liquid* product sold that is now not even sold any more! Petroleum Spirit - what it is [ Petrol ] I like cake! ;-)

[@Killermcknight]

Oh my gosh 😂 that’s actually so funny, another thing I didn’t realize

[@StephMcAlea]

a waste paper basket is va small office receptacle... not a trash can. thats much bigger.

[@Killermcknight]

Ahhhh yes, didn’t think of those. We don’t really use them.

[@Toadhall22]

UK: tie = US: Neck tie

[@Killermcknight]

😂😂

[@Killermcknight]

To be fair, I think most (at least the younger population) calls them just ties now.

[@niallmcentee9400]

His sketch on wine tasting is hilarious

[@Killermcknight]

Adding to our list!
