[@bambamnj]

Yeah but that really isn't what we would call a pick-up truck that was more of a Flat-bed truck

[@bambamnj]

right we have a lot of different names for sneakers, everyone in the US knows what sneakers are but then we have running shoes, trainers, cross-trainers, tennis, hightops.. I probably missed a few.. all depending on weight, type of tread, etc

[@bambamnj]

Right, we use a lot of different terms for the same things. Like the Movie Theater, we also use the term Cinema... Not so much when we are speaking but they use Cinema on their signs.. We say let's go to the Movies... Let's go see a Flick (not sure how many people use that anymore)

[@kurtisnelson78]

Australia has such a mixture of words because of our history. Being founded by the British we used all the british names in the early days after colonisation. As television and American culture became a bigger influence throughout the latter half of the 20th century we adopted a lot more american words. So now in modern times we have a mixture of british, american and our own australian vocabulary.

[@justanotheruser7228]

The thing is with English ( British) is that we constantly call things new names, that could last a while or for a spank of a week. So we could have 30 words for one thing

Summary: BRITISH 🇬🇧- Traditional English. American 🇺🇸- Simplified English. Australian 🇦🇺- Even more simplified/lazy English.

[@hizzyproduction906]

Omar Adem Australia is very lazy with our English that sometimes you can not even understand what we are saying

[@masons4425]

Nah, I think Australia is second. The shorten words are slang not actual traditional English. So, besides from the slang we use a lot of the same versions of words 'n terms related to the british. Also, American spelling really bugs me. They write words in how they sound instead of how they are. Their English version isn't true to its British origins since the English language was influenced by Latin, Greek and French. The America 's have adaptated a lot of their words through out history, drifting further from true English. As for Australia and England they've remained the same. Just cultural slang British and Aussies are different. SO FIX YOUR Score, BOIIIIII~ ❤️

[@Udontkno7]

@@masons4425 That was actually the point! When the US experienced a period of super patriotism during the war of 1812, dictionary writers wanted to truly step away from UK English. The founding fathers that were still alive supported it as well, so it became popular.

US: Camping Pot UK: Boiling Pot AU: *BILLY*

[@oldvlognewtricks]

In British English it's 'pan' or 'saucepan'.

[@lythsian]

Yeah I mean this one, clearly for camping is the reason for the "Billy" usage here and dates back to when Australia was very young. You'd find the cattlemen (cowboys) or bushrangers (outlaws) out in the bush and they'd have an open topped cylindrical pot with a rounded slim metal handle to hang over the fire and boil or cook, usually boil water in. We don't use the word Billy really anymore. Bella's using it to differentiate the languages as a nuance but for me the kitchen version of that implement I'd call a pot but with an English mother I'm just as comfortable with saucepan. That's the benefit of Australia, as we're still "young" we've had influences from both English speaking countries. As our history lies with Britain a lot of it comes from there but most of our TV and Fast Food places are from America so those words have snuck in also. There are differences between the states as well. Victoria tends to have its own words whereas Queensland and NSW have theirs. Also I don't say suspenders, I'd say braces. I'd find the use of the word suspenders a bit strange but then again I'd find the actual use of suspenders equally as strange.

Aubergine 🍆 is a French word and it has the same meaning in French

[@Hjklxrfdwhzr]

We say „Aubergine“ in German as well but little different pronounciation

[@lennat24]

The word "aubergine" originally comes from the Arab world. It came to Spain in the 15th century via Muslim immigrants (Moors) who made it the word "berenjena". The fruit has been known in France since the 17th century and was first called "melonge" or "melongène". Only later did the word "aubergine" establish itself in France, which is still used in German-speaking countries as well as in Great Britain. In Italy the word "Melanzani" is used, which indicates the color black of the fruit. The Austrians use a variation "Melanzane". Before the word "eggplant" came to Germany, it was called "Eierplanze (eggplant)".

for me in the uk, it's "going to the cinema to watch a movie that is being shown on screen X" - the room is designated by screen number, and the only time I'd consider saying "going to the movies" is if it was in an unusual location, such as a series of movies being shown over the evening at a castle or a park, rather than a cinema

Sneakers are also, or even more commonly, known as tennis or gym shoes (especially by school-age kids) in the US. But all are common.

[@juliachen1884]

It depends on which region you're talking about. In some places it's more common for people to use "tennis shoes" (like where I'm from) and in other places people can call them a variety of other terms. But in the end, they pretty much all end up meaning the same thing.

[@sdushdiu]

Certainly. The terminology varies with different groups as well, as school kids who take gym class might call them gym shoes, whereas adults more familiar with tennis might call them tennis shoes. The societal/cultural context matters.

[@CESkootchy]

In my experience here in New England, they're called Sneakers in general, but that specific style of sneaker is called a Tennis Shoe.

[@silverstreettalks343]

When I was young, sandshoes or tennis shoes (also known back then as "gum shoes" because of the soft rubber sole, but that term seems to have disappeared) were just the height of an ordinary shoe, and had a canvas top. They were almost identical to what we also know as "deck shoes", except that deck shoes have a stiffer sole. Neither has a stepped heel. Gym boots come to above the ankle to give more support for games like basketball, and have a stiffer sole. I haven't seen them for a long time and think that runners have pretty well taken their place. "Sneakers" is probably more widely known in some parts of Australia than "runners". My kids always called them sneakers.

[@sdushdiu]

Peter Green The uses you mention are Not common in other countries outside of Australia. The only 'gumshoes' I have ever heard referred were the gumlike soles as appear on Clark chukka boots. In ~60 years I have never heard common references to the interchangeable (high top/low top) gym shoes/ sneakers/, or tennis shoes referred to as "gumshoes". Nor have I ever hear any of them referred to as "gym boots". Deck shoes are properly a shoe with a sipped rubber-like sole whose use originating for use on (wet) boat decks that subsequently crossed over for multi-use casual wear. Debating this topic is rather pointless without the imposition of a cultural context, as the use of each set of terms is conditioned by the particular cultural context in which one focuses. One more reason trying to establish universal vocabulary rules outside of particular a cultural context is absurd.

There is very much an age thing with Australian English as well. Those my age and older are far more likely to us the British terms than those under 30. American television and cinema was already long dominant when i was a kid, but parents and grandparents used the British words so that's what we grew up knowing. Some of what she (Bella is it?) said were standard I know from American TV and film, but would never use by default. "Suspenders" go with stockings, not trousers. Basically, 50 years ago (even before my time) we would have had only British and local terms. Now, quite a lot are American ones and that trend is stronger the younger someone is. There are also regional differences (as there is most countries).

In Australia, we usually say "shoes" or sometimes the brand name like "Volleys" or "runners" if they're specifically a more casual sports shoe. I've never heard "sneakers" unless someone is borrowing from American English. That is not a billy. A billy is for boiling water, so more a taller kettle-like shape. Although an older term that is falling out of use, "pictures" is also sometimes used to refer to going to the "movies"
