I remember there was a Japanese transfer student that arrived at my school one day. I was his first friend in America and I know this because as soon as I tried speaking English to him he was so shocked and said "Yuu EnRishhh sou guod!" And this was in 5th grade so I was confused on why he was surprised that I could speak English so fluently. And I was wondering how he didnt expect it since he was in America where the majority of people speak English. I still know him now in 8th grade and he speaks English really well and fluently. (Basically what Sora is saying is true. Japanese people will literally think you're royalty because you speak English.)

Honestly if someone said they like to eat American dogs I'd just assume they were talking about hot dogs. They are a very American food, after all. Also for the record the loanword for creampuff is derived from the French "Choux à la Crème" which got shortened to "choux creme".

[@Practitioner_of_Diogenes]

Id assume they were from some place that eats dogs, sorry.

[@Practitioner_of_Diogenes]

@@morriganrenfield8240 Don't assume. The reason most of us didn't think literal dogs is simply because Japan isn't known for eating dogs. That's more a stereotype of China, and even then that's not really true (it's the more rural parts that do, if they do that at all).

[@caseyhawkins6978]

My mind did go to eating actual dogs, however I had a feeling that couldn't be right so it was like "ohhh you mean hot dogs?" Never would have thought of corn dogs. And that's interesting to know about the creampuff! Learn something new everyday!

[@electrictroy2010]

PET is abbreviation for the chemical name of plastic. Poly ethylene tetra-something .

[@paddan1000ify]

It's called a PET bottle in Swedish too (PET-flaska) so I would have assumed it's called something similar in English too. A problem with English and English speakers is that there are regional words and expressions, so if you have for instance learned a word from a British English speaker the same word might not be understood by an American, which confuses us foreigners who learn an international version of English.

[@dex6316]

@@paddan1000ify it’s not called PET bottle in any English dialect. Only by foreigners who already refer to it as PET bottle. In English we say bottle, and people will understand from context if it’s disposable or not. If further clarification is needed we may say plastic bottle. PET is a type of plastic after all. English speakers generally try to use as little precision to convey their meaning for efficiency purposes. Therefore rather than the more descriptive PET (that few people know), we use the less descriptive plastic (but still precise enough for people to understand).

[@ArthurA347]

The term PET bottle is very common in Germany as well. We usually say P-E-T though, not pet :D The term is often used instead of 'plastic' for anything made from PET. But we also have our own funny uses for English words. The word 'Handy', for example, means mobile phone in German. This may sometimes cause a bit of confusion, when you tell English speakers that you're getting a new handy soon...

[@noisykestrel]

The pseudo-anglicisms in German are pretty much just as creative and out there as the ones on Japanese! The word dressman for example, that meaning "male model" Or homeoffice meaning "remote work/working from home" Or Partnerlook meaning "matching outfits" French has words like this too: A makeover there is called "relooking"
