We tend to use "bathroom" at home, whether there is a tub or not. At work its' sometimes restroom or Men's (or ladies') room. "Toilet: is the ceramic thing in the bathroom. In the us "flannel" is the material you make some clothes out of. - flannel shirts, flannel sheets, etc.

[@Watjalukinat]

Saying that you're going to the toilet sounds so crass.

[@charliedavis8894]

And the substitutions for "toilet" in America have a wide range. For women, it's "use the restroom," "fix my hair," or "wash my hands.". Men are much more creative. "I need to see a man about a horse," "I gotta drain the lizard," or " It's time to mark my territory."

The way I grew up a closet was for clothes in the bedrooms and the one where we had the towels was a linen closet. The one that was in the kitchen was a pantry.

[@Emilaria]

Pretty sure I usually say bathroom when in a home, but call it a restroom if I'm out in public. If I'm feeling really fancy, I'll call it a washroom. If in my own home, my husband and I will romantically say something like, "I gotta poop", then head to the bathroom.

[@carolynm3523]

I've been in an old department store with restroom and I saw why. You entered basically a sitting room. Maybe to rest or nurses and then you go into the other room to go to the bathroom. Sinks etc were also in there. So it truly was a restroom.

Flannel is what some shirts and bed sheets are made from. A wash cloth is something we use to wash our face with.

[@lisab.9956]

Wardrobe is a free standing clothes or coat closet that isn't built into the wall. Cupboard is used for any storage of any type of item. In kitchen it might be called a pantry if it is large size. Thumbtacks have a flat head of white or color. What Lawrence showed is called pushpin. Washcloths are made of terry cloth so they are called washcloths. Flannel is a term that refers to actual material & is mostly used as an adjective to describe an item & term is not used on its own otherwise (i.e. flannel blanket, flannel pajamas, flannel shirt, etc.). [Fabric similar to flannel can be traced back to Wales in the 16th century. The fabric was called ''Welsh cotton'', and was a coarse woolen material with a fluffed surface similar to flannel.] Lawrence does not have anything close to an American accent though he uses American words & phrases & pronounces some words the American way which might be why British people think that.

[@warriyorcat]

I think the flannel thing is regional, because in my area we say "flannel" and everybody knows you're talking about the shirt. If it's something else that's flannel then you specify.

[@CCRider5312]

In America a Flannel is referred to as a long sleeve Flannel Shirt or light weight Flannel Coat. The word Flannel can also be used to refer to a type of 100% Cotton Soft Cloth Material such as the type of cloth material that’s used to make Flannel Shirts or Light Flannel Jackets/Coats.

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

The squares of cloth used for washing would not be a flannel here, as they are pretty much exclusively made of terry cloth. Flannel also makes lovely nightshirts for women, favored because they are soft and warm and because it is exciting to one's partner to see said woman wearing the flannel nightshirt and acting cuddly. Flannel shirts are also worn by Canadian lumberjacks to cover their bras (or so I have heard).

[@changeworkssystem6024]

In the US, a "toilet" is exclusively an object one would find in a bathroom, restroom, lavatory, washroom, men's room or ladies room. If we heard someone say "where's the toilet" we would look at them in a perplexed way and say, "it's in the bathroom" like it's the most bizarre question we've ever been asked. We're not even all that comfortable using the word "toilet" in general, since it's a private and dirty thing polite people would never mention, since it conjures images of where you're sitting and what you're doing.

[@kevinerose]

Yes, it is too embarrassing to say "toilet" in the US.

[@kellyrussell9646]

Growing up, my parents were friends with a couple who lived in a house built in the '50s. It had a large full bathroom, but when you came in the back door into a small room, to the left there was a working toilet that no one took out when they remodeled. The couple decided to leave it when they moved in because you just never know when you might have to go. There was no privacy with this toilet either. Someone could come through the back door and find you or come out of the kitchen and find you. 😳

[@MarySpain1958]

In my experience growing up in the south ppl say where'd your toilet or bathroom but rarely call it a washroom.

[@nadogrl]

@@MarySpain1958- Washroom is Canadian.

[@TheSeaTack]

Asking for the "toilet" has an uncouth nasty or dirty connotation since in the U.S. "toilet" solely refers to the crapper. For instance, no one in a restaurant wants to know or think about you taking a sh*t when asking where the toilet is. So please use any of the following terms instead: "washroom", "bathroom", "men's room" or ladies room" as any of these suggests you might just need to wash your hands or check your make-up, thoughts that are much more palatable, especially in an eatery.

[@TahiriVeila13ABY]

@@TahiriVeila13ABY I am a teacher. I taught in the UK for many years. I came back to teach in the USA. I said toilet and my students were grossed out by the term especially the girls. They preferred bathroom. I consider myself more of a lover of history plus our similarities and connections and influences from the British (and Irish) over the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and vice versa. The USA pre 2000s was mostly Americanized British culture with influences from Italy Eastern Europeans with Jewish people too especially NY NJ areas. Southeastern part Colonial British influence and New England with some Italian influence with twists of French. Upper Mid West with lots of influences from Germans Dutch and Scandinavians. Borders with Mexico with Colonial Spanish and Mexicans. Louisiana strong French influences. I love to understand their influences over American food especially Italian in NY and NJ areas. So strong.

4:49 Americans can use the words 'bathroom', 'restroom', 'washroom' to all mean the room where there is a sink and toilet (with or without a bath or shower), but we also say "I'm going to the toilet" just to mean that we are going to the bathroom to use the toilet. not to refer to the room itself.

1) I'm from New England. I've always used the word "trash" for what goes in the bin for the weekly pick-up and "garbage" for food waste specifically, some of which I can put into the garbage disposal. I used the word "bin," rather than "can" or "barrel," because we have the type that is picked up by an arm attached to the truck. 2) I use the term "restroom" for public toilets. It's a euphemism that just seems more genteel. 3) According to Wikipedia, "eggplant/aubergine" has had even more English names in the past, such as "garden egg" and "vegetable egg." Words used in other languages, as well as "aubergine," are derived from "badinjan." That last word is from a language of southern India, where the plant originates. I've never heard "aubergine" in the U.S., but I have heard the southern Italian word "mulignana" and the proper Italian word "melanzana." 5) I more often hear "baseball hat" than "baseball cap." 6) The only American I've heard say "post" is my nephew when he was 3 or 4, because he was binge-watching "Peppa Pig." 7) Many American Latinos use the Spanish word "fútbol." 8) There are many "Shell" and only a few "BP" gas stations where I live. By the way, the word "gasoline" is derived from the trademark terms "Gazeline" and originally "Cazeline." English businessman John Cassell named it after himself in 1862. 9) "Thumbtacks" have flat heads that will be nearly flush with the "bulletin board" or "cork board" they are pressed into. The type of pins Laurence showed are called "push pins." I don't know why we make this distinction. 10) I don't say "washcloth." I have "dish towels" in the kitchen and "face cloths," "hand towels," and "bath towels" in the bathroom. I use the word "flannel" as others have described in this comments section. 11) "Digestive biscuit" sounds like a remedy for a stomachache or an intestinal problem.

My Mom's only comes out when she is mad because she is an ESL teacher (English as a second language) teacher so she tempers it. I now live in North Carolina and I talk to my parents every week and I notice that my Hawaii Pidgin English comes out after the conversation. The last time I went home and came back to North Carolina. Well, let's just say it was a transition. Or how we say it in Hawaii. "Ho Brah, try fo speak mainland, stay hard. Da kine way I speak stay all Kapakahi but Bumbai I stay can."

When we say flannel, we typically mean flannel nightgown, flannel shirt, flannel pajamas.

[@melissafoultz452]

Flannel is a type of cloth. But washclothes are made of terry cloth, not flannel

Closets in America are for hung up clothing and some homes have large walk in closets with many closet rods to hang them on. Cupboards are for dishes/plates, cups, China. In the kitchen the cupboards above sink, above refrigerator, along walls are for canned foods, spices, etc. Some also have food pantry area of house. Like man said, Baseball Cap originated/Designed in USA for Baseball Sport. Mail hence Mailing Address or even Email Address, yes we call our US Postal Service that processes and handles our Mail as the Post Office, this guy would say Okay honey I'm going out to the Mailbox to get the Mail. A Post is usually wooden pole or beam used in construction, so you don't say I'm going out the the Post, the horse probably tied to it.

To most Americans, a wardrobe is a piece of furniture that can hold hanging clothes .....as in the movie....The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.......and a closet is basically another "room" even though most are smallish like linen closets, hall closets and closets in non master bedrooms.

We play both Soccer and Football, in Elementary Schools children play Kickball too. Native Americans have Stickball. American Truck Drivers don't use Gas or Petro nope we use Diesel and call it Fuel, we also must fuel trucks with DEF. I've an experienced Lady Trucker 20+ years and I fuel two 120 gallon Diesel tanks plus pull rig forward at fuel pumps and fuel the Reefer fuel tank too. I chain up 18 wheeled Semi Tractor 53' Trailer during Winter on snow and ice. I used to be Flatbed Truck Driver pulling 45' and 48' Trailers performing heavy haul load securement, changed to pulling 53' Reefer and Dry Van's but still driving 600 to 700 miles per day cross Country USA.

as someone who went to school for the same field. we label the plans as bathroom for a "full" bath which means it has a shower/tub or both. It is considered a "half bath" if it is just a toilet and sink

I thought half bath was shower but not tub

A thumbtack is a round flat piece of metal or plastic with a pin attached to the back and you use your thumb to tack something to a wall or corkboard. The object he showed is actually called a push pin.

Closet is in the bedroom and pantry is in the kitchen normally a pantry/cupboard is like a closet only it has shelves in it

[@shirleytinney8917]

Country folks refer to the toilet place calling it the John, Outhouse, Water Closet. In town it's the Ladies Room, Restroom, Gent's Room. Of course most businesses have signage saying Restrooms. But of course people aren't literally resting there. Usually for residential homes the rooms having sinks, toilet, shower or tub are called Bathrooms, no matter if there's not a bathtub in the room. Washroom is laundry room and has clothes washer, clothes dryer, scrubbing sink. Most American homes don't have the laundry machines located in the kitchen or dining area. Many homes have multiple bathrooms, some have listed on Rental Market or Real Estate the amount of bedrooms and bathrooms such as an 3 bedroom 2 bath home, or 2 bedroom 1.5 bathroom home, could be 6 bedroom 4 bathrooms, whatever.

[@pacmanc8103]

In your example of a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath home the 1/2 bath doesn’t have a bathtub or shower. The full bath does.

Stay safe and hope your power stays on. We love the Beesley Family. Keep the videos coming.

That was a good one I like Lawrence, I haven't subscribed to his channel because he doesn't interact with the people that watch his content the way you guys do. He is really good however you're interaction with your viewers won me over. And that why i subscribe to your channel. Not to mention I tell all of my friends about you I've got a few of them watching you too. You guys are great people, and in my opinion deserve nothing but the best. Little Archie is going to have such a good life and grow up in such a loving family I just know it.

[@elliottgatehouse6568]

We don't use toilet, we call them restrooms out and about, bathrooms in the home. Soccer started in Britain. Our towels are made from cotton and not flannel.

[@margaretspignardo5588]

I started using a washcloth again because I think it helps remove dry/old/dead skin cells.

[@MariaSanchez-sf6oj]

Eggplants are delicious. You should try eggplant parmesan, I think you would like it. We typically say eggplant when referring to the food and aubergine when referring to the color.

[@virginiarobbins7539]

I've never heard their term for it before watching brits on tt.

[@annmariemills1554]

Does UK still tax you by how many rooms you have? That is why free standing cabinets became common.

[@rayettahaskin5653]

Washroom is the laundry area. Bathroom is a restroom.

[@kevinfeldman5100]

I interpret trash as dry, like paper and wrappers. Garbage is wet, like vegetables and food scrapes from the dinner plates.

Some good alternative terms for the bathroom/restroom are little boys'/girls' room, can, throne. You're right: washroom, bathroom, or restroom. Over here, cupboards are only found in the kitchen. I'm just guessing here that flannels aren't actually made with flannel, right?

I have flannel pajamas and a flannel shirt but I've never heard of a flannel washcloth
