I got one in return for you. In college I lived with an exchange student from Wales. She came home from class one day so confused as to why the class had laughed at her when she asked the teacher for a rubber. I asked her to explain the item she was looking for and she described the pink rubber on the end of a pencil. In the US a rubber is a condom she was looking for an eraser.

I gotta say, that PopTarts tweet doesn't make a lot of sense on this side of the Atlantic either. Maybe if they said "fanny pack." But just "in my fanny" means "in my butt" -- which is equally ludicrous and funny. Here's my real-life problem -- I'd like to do an adaptation on the life of Mary Wollstonecraft, but her dearest friend in the world, whom she opened a girls' school with, nursed on her deathbed, and even named her firstborn child after, is named -- ready for it? -- Fanny Blood. Yep. That is the actual name of a real historical person back when "Fanny" was just a common nickname for "Frances" and did not have the connotations it does today of meaning any kind of body part. I have no solution for this problem.

“Fanny” in the US means “arse”. “Randy” also means the same thing here in the US as in the UK. “Muff” in the US is also slang for the same thing as in the UK. “Muff-diving”, for instance... “Spunk” also has the same meaning here. So does “shag”. Not used often but its meaning is known. “Bum” also means arse here. Now, a story from my end: I was in East Lothian and saw a sign for Chubb Security. I lost it. I was going into my friend’s place (Paul from Macdonald Armouries) and he looked at me bemused as I cried laughing, gasping for breath. Paul’s from Moidart originally and had no clue what I was laughing at. Anyway, he started laughing because I was... as I muttered “CHUB!” and howled more with laughter. A “chub” here in the US means “an erection”. So I explained that when I could and he then died laughing and I started up again. So there’s that... 🤣

Here in the US we don't think too much about other languages. An example is an article I read in the 70's about US company's advertising in other country,s. In China, Coke's "Coke adds life" came out as "Coke brings your ancestors back to life" and for the article they had a panting of a skeletal hand clutching a bottle of Coke bursting through the ground. Another mistake was the Chevy Nova, they could not understand why sales were so low, until they found out that Nova translated into Spanish came out as "no go". Who wants a car that wont go? "Body by Fisher" was mistranslated as "Corpse by Fisher". We have to learn not everybody knows English.

Yes, the "shag" is a dance in the southern US. My daughter had a friend who had gone out with a couple of Brits who were visiting. She was talking about a shagging contest, and the Brits had the funniest looks on their faces until they realized from the context that she was referring to a dance contest where the the contestants did the shag. It's associated with beach music and done primarily near the coast. At least it is here in North Carolina. It's in some ways similar to the jitterbug but slower usually.

Pantaloons were women’s underwear. Long and usually lacy, worn under crinoline’s

Just like soccer. It was the brit name for football before they changed and went with european term football. The US just kept the name soccer.

Once I saw the full-size graphic of the Pop Tarts thing, THEN I understood why you'd think that was funny (on several levels). I had a laugh, too. But watching you crack up over it just made it funnier. Thanks for another great vid, Shaun!

This was funny,thanks!

Hi from the US here another way we use the word bum is like “can I bum a cigarette “ which is basically like can I have one

Derived from a notion that bums (homeless people) would be begging.

Ok I've watched this 3 times already. So funny

For many years, I worked with a bunch of Brits in a tearoom here where I live in the US. I remember saying something about a fanny and they all started cracking up. They set me straight! Love watching your videos. This one really had me laughing out loud. I’ll be in Scotland for the first time this summer. So excited.

Sounds like there are alot of things similar between y'all and alot of us in the south here in the United States

Bang and knob are the same here as they are there.

As slang, yes. And muff is also used as slang for lady parts. (They, after all, are warm.) As a fur piece to warm hands, that has gone out of style, but the slang remains.

"Knob" would probably be a bit hit & miss where I'm from, though if you were careful about your wording the meaning would get across, and "shag" would be recognizable. As for "muff", 50/50 chance that someone would think "ear muffs".

I just subscribed and am loving, loving this experience! My husband and I are moving to Scotland in about 3-4 years. I will send you a shirt from here for your collection (I’m from Oklahoma)

Thanks for the translations.

Just as I put my hand on the my boyfriends knob, a disgusting odor overtook me. I turned to see a massive pantless bum standing over me. Thats when I noticed he was wrist deep rummaging around in my fanny. I backed into the corner asking what the bum wanted of me. He said he was Randy and only wanted my muff for the warmth.

Do you watch either Wee Scottish Lass or Diane Jennings?

Great video, Shaun. it made me laugh...in the US, the word fanny refers to your bum (arse), not really your waist. The word "muff" here can also refer to the female genital area, just as in the UK.

"Muff", as a "naughty" word meant a woman's pubic hair, and while that is a convenient distance from the vagina, it is not synonymous.

You have a great laugh 👍😂

#4 Seems pretty spot on.

I thought you said pool not pull. 😂 I love accents. No disrespect. I just find it funny.

Those of us who watch a lot of British television know most of those, however I was unaware of the meaning of "pants" and "pull." Those two are new to me. Great channel. I just discovered you today and I think what you are doing is fantastic. Everyone in every country could stand to learn more about other nations. Thanks for what you're doing.

😂😂😂these are golden!

In the U.S., knob is also slang for women's breasts. (An older sister of a friend of mine used to run around in a T-shirt with a picture of a television, and the words "Please don't fiddle with the knobs, I'm perfectly adjusted!"

Pretty sure that was a special circumstance. Breasts are not commonly called knobs, that was just in the context of that specific joke.

Shaun, this video is totally hilarious - love it! 😃😃😃 All your videos are great 😄 Visit south Florida - wait, you already came to Florida - that's ok, come back!

Hello Edinburgh Scotland, greetings from Baldwin Park CA, stumbled across a few of your videos and I find them funny, interesting and entertaining, I enjoy seeing my country through the eyes of a Scot.

Shag carpets were really popular in the 1970s.

I went out on the pull, and all I saw were bumps! Got it, thanks!

Shaun I love your videos. I did not realize pants had that meaning in the UK. Now I must immediately clarify statements I have made on my streams🤣

Decent video. It seems it's more pointing out the difference between slang and non-slang definitions for the majority of them. As for the slang definitions, it seems both sides of the pond use them but it's always good to have a heads-up. 👍🏻😎 I'd laugh, too, at the Pop Tarts tweet.

This was all very funny. I love the way you got so tickled. (Is that okay to say?) I'll have to remember these words if I ever make it to Scotland. Feel better soon!

Thank-you Shaun, I needed a good laugh. Pop tarts in your fanny. No wonder you couldn't stop laughing! Watching you laugh made me laugh (it's contagious like a yawn). After you translated, I was 🤣.

Funny as anything! Sprayed coffee everywhere...... Hilarious

I’m dyin I’m laughing so hard!!!😂😂😂

I’d say these are all the same for us in Australia, except for pants. Most commonly we call trousers “pants”, and underpants we call “undies” or “underwear” 😁

Shag is also a dance from S. Carolina. We also wear earmuffs when it’s cold 😂. Bang, knob, muff and spunk have similar slang meanings to yours...people here will know the slang meanings of those words...bang is a very commonly used word here 😉.
