And in some cases the word or expression originated in Britain and returned to its native country via Hollywood. BTW, re No.9 in your first list ("To bare arms"): I'm quite sure that wasn't originally American. For generations people in Britain have worn short sleeves, especially in warm weather.

You are great 💜 I liked the phrase rain check 👍🏼

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hi Zahrsa. This is Jay writing back to you. When I was a little boy I lived near a famous baseball stadium in Brooklyn, New York. The kids on my street would collect rain checks from stadium spectators as they walked down our street, and we would later trade them with each other. So when a store offers a rain check for an item that's out of stock, they are actually referring to that little ticket stub we used to collect as kids from people who attended baseball games. If the game had been cancelled after it started due to rain, they could use the rain check to attend a different game later. :-)

What does Polish idiom: Leży jak skóra, which means word for word translation: It lies like a skin. It means that something is correct. Or if something is a guitar it means that it is ok as well. But a guitar refers to a nicely looking girl, because of her shape.

[@john.andrew.brighton]

When you mentioned the phrase “bought the farm” I thought of my friend Crystal’s favorite song “Another one Bites the Dust” “another one gone, another one gone” I wonder if that line has something to do with that phrase “bought the farm”

[@MoriKitsune]

It does; it's referring to when someone dies and their body hits the ground, especially if it's face-first. It's similar to the expression that someone "ate" dirt, asphalt, etc. when they fell face-first onto the ground.

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hi John, this is Jay writing back to you. That's certainly one of my favorite Queen tracks. To 'bite the dust' is similar to 'bought the farm' in that they both mean the person who has bitten the dust or bought the farm has died. But they aren't exactly interchangeable. 'Bite the dust' is an expression that many associate with the Western genre of movies. The bad guy bites the dust when he falls to the ground after being shot by the sheriff. But there are references in Sottish literature from 1750, in the bible, and even Homer's Iliad. Look it up. It's really fascinating. Thanks for writing to us and thanks for watching.

Vicky, what do you think about The Beatles?

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hi Joao, Vicki here. I ADORE the Beatles. :-)

[@christrickett3291]

I am British and from near Liverpool. The Beatles are certainly very popular, but mainly among foreigners. A lot of people from here tend to see them as a side show, to be honest. I have never met a British person in my 50 years who expressly likes them, yet as an English teacher for many years I have met A LOT of students who love them and sadly, assume that I do too. As for me, I think they are seriously overrated but then, most headline bands are. I occasionally do their songs in class to help with English stuff. I am happy to do this, my students pay my salary and I won't reject their wishes because we have different tastes in music... but I tend to conveniently need to take a dump when Yesterday comes on.

[@christrickett3291]

However, FAR worse is when my students congratulate me on a royal baby or something!!!! I own my own school, if they assume I like the Beatles, I am happy just to put them straight politely. But they are in danger of being expelled if they think I like the bloody royal family!

It was probably an English teacher who is already empathising with his or her students' difficulties in learning English, without hammering into them this ridiculous notion that American and British English are different. The odd word maybe, but anybody who grew up in England or America will know that there are thousands of differences *within* English without pandering to some nationalist superiority complex each side of the so-called Pond which means that neither nation can accept that theirs is not better - so we end up with two supposedly different versions. It is all crap! British and American English are THE SAME! If we insist on going down that road please can I start teaching my students the difference between London English and Manchester English, oh boy, won't that be useful? I challenge you, have your phone language set to British English and a week later change it to American English and see if you can see ANY difference. Good luck! Or as they say in American English, good luck!
