While working for an airline I was genuinely shocked when a lady told me that she'd left her fanny on the aircraft. I asked what she meant (as the last I heard they aren't detachable...). She clarified by calling it her fanny pack, which had me wondering if it came with wings and was advertised by using blue water. So I asked her to describe it which is when I realised that she was talking about a bum bag and I breathed a sigh of relief. One quick call to the gate and we managed to get it for her, but the quote about being separated by a common language was never truer to me than that day! 😁

Pram comes from Perambulator which is a Victorian era baby carriage (think buggies with bigger wheels that if you look sideways on, it looks like the wheels are overlapping). So for anyone who did "The Importance of being Earnest", the scene about leaving the manuscript in the perambulator and the baby in the handbag should now make sense. Erasures (be it on the end of a pencil or standalone) are called Rubbers because they "Rub out" your mistake. Unfortunately, this rubber wont rub out the mistake if you don't use the other kind o rubber when you should've done.

Pram is short for the old word "perambulator" that used to be used in America. Was a SAT vocab question.

yeah its a shame part of her charm was how expressive her face was. but you know if she felt the need to do that then good for her

I love Kirsten Wiig, she’s hilarious!!!

[@aethellstan]

The ones Kristen wasn't joking about was Lift, a pram (from perambulator), we don't call it Kohl (that's either Indian or Egyptian, can't remember), fanny is indeed vagina which is why we laugh at fanny pack (we call them bum bags). The rest is humour (apart from wiffle waffle obviously)

@@nolongerlistless I'm afraid I remember that only too well.

[@fosterfuchs]

I was born and raised in Germany and was taught British English in high school. When I came to the United States as an exchange student, I told my host family I need to buy a rubber. Thankfully they had been to England and knew what I meant. They proceeded to inform me that in the U.S., I need to call it eraser.

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

@@deannamartell523 Sort of. The injections took away the expressiveness in her face which was the best thing about her. Makes me sad. She had a nose job on SNL but I was hoping she wouldn’t dabble with injections.

[@eleanormason2647]

Pram comes from perambulator, like an abbreviation. To perambulate is to walk about- in this case with a baby. Also we do call eyeliner eyeliner, kohl is more for pencil liners. Was very confused as to why there was a fanny pack, we always call it a bum bag

[@be8nice]

I had a feeling she would do this. She starts out with some real British expressions and then just makes stuff up. Except "fanny" is real. Back when Blockbusters was still around, my husband saw a video on display called "Forty Days to a Firmer Fanny," and his expression was priceless.

[@scottstewart5784]

Some work was done - eyes and mouth I'd guess. She sounds like she's still getting used to her mouth. Plus with short hair we see her face a lot more, so it makes it more noticeable.

[@MrVanderwel]

@@scottstewart5784 Could be. I was thinking botox too since her face seems partially paralyzed.

[@biancaanderson6285]

I noticed on SNL right away I think it’s Botox and fillers. People are saying she seems so calm, lol. I think it’s because she was in the huge blockbuster? Still love her to death forever though!

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

Couple things it looks like. A little bit of lip filler, botox to smooth out the forehead and eye crinkles. Plus her nose used to have more of a slope and button shape, now it looks like the bridge was shaved. All pretty subtle things, but all together in high def makes it really noticeable. But shes a beautiful woman regardless of what she wants to have done!

[@tenpenthouse]

[@famicomplicated]

Americans: from 0:00 to 3:37 it's all true (until the apple bit, lol), then it's all bollocks, then 5:15 till the end it is true again (fanny). Hope that helps!

The Slang bit seemed like the same type of skit that Fred Armisen writes. Kristen and Fred worked together on SNL.

[@JBurkie20]

Okay I live in the UK I just want to clear this up. We have never called an apple a bambleblam, just wanted to make that known, but we do call an elevator a lift and a stroller a pram. We also call an eraser a rubber, and yes, we call the females below a fanny. You’re welcome. Btw I know this is a joke, but there’s probably at least 1 person out there who will genuinely believe this and go to England and say “can I have a bambleblam?”
