If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

It has connotations of liking or having relationships with children.

Bloody is a weird one, it's a very minor swear when it's regarded as one. It's the sort of word you would be scolded for but no one would be that offended if you said it and even then you'd have to be quite young (under 11ish) for anyone to really be bothered by you using it at all.

[@OoohItSparkles]

"Steady on" is like "woah hold your horses", "calm down" or (my personal favourite) "chill your beans". You would use it when someone is getting carried away with an idea, or maybe sometimes if somebody is getting swept up in a movement and is about to fall over. So like, scenario number one: Friend one: "We could go to the shop and buy chocolate AND biscuits AND ice cream AND sweets" Friend two: "Steady on! Let's just get one so we don't throw up. Off we go!" *Friend two leaps up excitedly and hits their head on the ceiling because it is a small house and they are tall* Friend one: "oops. Steady on!" (Meaning "careful") As a person from the UK (the north) completely blows my mind that someone who speaks English as a first language doesn't use that phrase. 😂 Dialects are so cool!!!!

[@deadlymelody27]

As a southerner i had to think about what it meant before he put it in the video. Definitely a northern phrase more, probably yorkshire if its in wallace and gromit.

'The dog's bollocks' comes from a toy set for a toy called Mecharno, there was the 'Box Deluxe' and the 'Box Standard' Which turned into the expression 'dog's bollocks' and 'bog standard' (which means the standard version of something with no frills)

I hear No? a lot here in Texas. :) A lot of Americans add Right? to the end of a sentence to make it a question.

[@jenaparsons]

@@xzonia1 That’s interesting. I know Texas has a lot of Mexican American citizens since you’re right next to the border between the US and Mexico. My guess would be that’s why it’s so popular there. I know it’s a common way to form a question in Spanish. I’d guess that it made its way over to English via bilingual English-Spanish speakers. I definitely hear “right” at the end of a sentence frequently over here in Chicago. :) Language is so fascinating.

[@LeslieLanagan]

I like a lot of them,. but the only one I've truly picked up and use often is "I can't be arsed."

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

“You’ve won a Roger Bannister rodgering banister!” - Tom Scott 2k13

[@jakerockznoodles]

As a Scotsman, we also have plenty of words or sayings not mentioned here, which I've been mocked for or just gotten weird looks when I've been to the states. Here's a few: - Many people here use the word "pal" to finish sentences the same way English people say "mate" (and commonly use the two interchangeably). That would sound very silly if an American said it imo 😂 - A specific local one i have adopted is using the word "jamp" instead of "jumped" - A personal fave, "dreich", to describe bleak or miserable weather - Perhaps another local one, you tell someone where an inanimate object (especially a tool or utensil) "lives", and when people ask where you "stay" they're actually asking where you live - "There's it!" - "Good craic", and "what's the craic" - Forget numpty, eejit is the best word for a stupid person But for the love of God, *nobody* says "och aye, the noo" up here. I see it so often in comics or cartoons as a portrayal of Scots, but its nonsense! "Och aye" simply means "oh, yes" (a simple agreement, assent or acknowledgement) and "the noo" means "right now" or "currently" ("Fetch that the noo" or "it's blowin' a gale the noo"). Putting them together like this makes no sense at all, except in maybe the smallest number of circumstances, it's just not a phrase we use.

Memento mori friend

[@AmberClareHawleyx]

Are you saying "jobs a done'un"? I've only ever heard "jobs a good'un" 🖤

[@sian3521]

Came here to say the same thing!

[@raeve1785]

Same!

[@thenetnat]

It’s definitely job’s a good’un. I mean that it’s meant to be and Evan isn’t saying.

"I've used those two interchangably. Don't do that" I instantly imagined you saying "oh mate, unbelievable, I've been a proper nonce lately, worse than normal. Ugh" and not realising the sheer horror of what you're saying

[@Sarah-oy2lr]

It’s weird though because I’m sure there’s some places where nonce does mean idiot - my friend from Bradford used to use nonce like that all the time

[@thingimabob0]

@@Sarah-oy2lr Naa in Bradford it still definitely means kiddy fiddler

[@Tustin2121]

Abi Carver - I know what you mean, but legit when I read “kiddie fiddler”, I just imagined some dude playing a brightly colored molded plastic toy violin.

As a kid/teen I had the same problem but with Ponce instead of Numpty

[@thingimabob0]

@@helenl3193 to me I’ve only heard the word ponce used like “poncing about” to mean like dithering/messing about lol

[@elcannotspell]

As a British person in a British university with an American flatmate, I have had to translate A LOT to make sure both of us are understood. For example when I was going to the shops I said 'I'm just going to pop there and come back' and he just awkwardly stared at me and went 'like the music?'

[@Tustin2121]

I guess he’s never heard the phrase “pop someone in the mouth” in the US before? (Meaning “to punch someone in the face”). Because that’s what would have come to my mind with “pop” being used as a verb (If I didn’t already know the British meaning.)

[@caitlingillette5648]

Contextually the average person should have just understood what that meant
