The electric kettle thing blows the British mind. It is the first gadget anyone buys when they set up house, and will be packed seperately when moving house so it can be opened first.

Blows my mind as an aussie too and we barely even drink tea (less than the poms anyway). It must be so inconvenient having to boil it on the stove, or god forbid microwaving it (lmao)

No! A cookie is a type of biscuit. So we have custard cremes, bourbons, digestives, hobnobs,cookies ect. Plus fries and chips are different. Chips are fat and fluffy and fries are thin and crispy.

French fries here in the UK are a different thing to our chips. French fries are much thinner. Chips here tend to be chunkier.

Yes, we have both. As an older person I associate fries with crappy fast food and we didn't have them until the invasion of the likes of Macdonalds. Unless we went to France!

You call fries, fries because they are fried? By that logic everything you fry should be called fries.

Funny thing is that Max - redhead/ "idk I'm not American!" - apparently lived in the US as a kid (unsure if he was actually born there though) and moved to England as a preteen if I remember correctly. (Even more unexpected: he's a quarter Indian.) Meanwhile Armand (slicked back hair) is actually French, although he also moved to England as a preteen. You can tell that those two accepted all those jokes much easier than the rest of the boys. 😂

We say maths as it's a shortened version of mathematics, math implies that you guys do mathematic. Ours definitely makes more sense, I mean if you were studying physics you wouldn't cut off the s.

Funnily in slavic languages those are all used singular. Translated directly „mathematic, physic, etc”. And you know not all names were first used in english, language is more complicated than this. One doesn’t necessarily make more sense than the other.

I’m shocked Americans don’t have electric kettles

We are european. Many names derive from French or Latin. Biscuits is french...

What you call biscuits are a sort of savoury scone. We do have cookies, they are a type of biscuit. They typically have chocolate chips in. The main brand name is Maryland Cookies. But we have many other types and they are all biscuits. As for fries, chips and crisps. What You call fries, yes they are fried, they are fried chips of potato, they are not French. What you call chips are also fried, so what's the difference? But they are crispy slices of potato, they are not chips. Mind you we have nicked Fries as a name for skinny American style chips. I'm sorry the language is English, we are English so we get to umpire on this. 😂

The sunburn meme undermined itself, by showing a Belgian footballer, as an example of British person. :)

Cookies that are soft are definitely cookies, cookies that are hard /dry are biscuits

These are middle class kids so the way they speak is quite 'proper' . They wouldn't necessarily use the slang shown in the memes.

Luv how laid back the kids were in this. Their so British ❤

In South Africa we also call them biscuits , not cookies 😅

this is a cookie 🍪 and a cookie is a type of biscuit

Whose language is it? Thought so that’s like tryna tell Spanish people how to speak Spanish 💀

It’s stupid to say we only use kettles for tea. We used them for almost everything in cooking.

The fact that alot of British memes like 'zed' and 'tea' and 'electric kettle' and 'biscuits' are super relatable for Indians is peak dark humour.

American breakfast culture is coffee, bacon, egg, those fluffy pancakes, maybee waffles instead, cereals, bagels and sometimes muffins.

Biscuits from twice cooked. Cos they're hard and crispy... cookies are a type of biscuit in the UK

The tea bag should go in the hot water on its own without the milk. Once the Teabag is out, then the milk goes in ☕️…. And she added wayyyyyy too much milk, that was nearly half a cup of milk that went in there. 🤢

These guys have an a second channel called Korean Englishman and they just started a new series where they take these boys to enlist in the Korean army - looks amazing

Biscuits means twice cooked, so biscuits are hard, cookies are soft. But I've definitely been disappointed buying a pack of 'cookies' (like Ahoy chip cookies) and they end up being crunchy like a biscuit 😞

Chips are chipped potatoes which are fried. Crisps are crisp fried thin slices of potatoes. Biscuits comes from the French word meaning twice baked and so have nothing to do with your biscuits.

They're 'chips' of a potato.

Cookie is a type of biscuit, like a chocolate chip cookie. The same way a fry is a different kind of chip

Biscuits and cookies are different in the UK biscuit is a butter cracker. They use cookie too for like chocolate chip 🍪

That's very strange, because I, personally, can only consider beans as a breakfast item

If you take the potato out of the equation and think about what a "chip" is, i.e., a small piece of a hard material (think 'wood chips'), then what we call chips in the UK makes sense. In fact, at one time, you sometimes used to see them on restaurant menus as "chipped potatoes", with "chips" being an abbreviation. What you call chips aren't chips at all, they're slices. We call them crisps because they're 'crisp' fried slices of thinly-cut potatoes. I rest my case. 😁

Beans on toast is the best breakfast, beans with a full English is also the best breakfast. Beans with everything!!

4:35 biscuits are different to cookies . Just like chips are different to fries x

Anything that can be dunked in a cup of tea is a biscuit

BISCUITS AREN'T COOOKIES !!!!!!!! they are different, very different

Best way to explain biscuits for both is... to remember that "biscuit" originally was a food item popular on ships. This OG biscuits is the item that both countries version of "biscuit" started as. In the USA where they had all sailed over and thus had used biscuits as an important part of their meal, it therefore makes sense that in America "biscuit" became seen as a core part of a meal, and while the recipe changed you still have it as part of a meal. At the same time the US made a sweet baked snacked called a "cookie". It's also important to note how America often uses the branded name of an item as the name for all items of that type, thus how the US might have a traditional "cookie" (chocolate chip, etc).. but then has a ton of other cookies. In the UK on the other hand, outside of the British Navy people didn't really have a need to eat "biscuits". The rare times at first when a noble person would eat a "biscuit", it wasn't unusual to add things to make the special patch of "biscuits" sweeter. A noble person eating a "biscuit" also wouldn't be doing it as their meal (even if it might of been a meal for those around them). Therefore overtime "biscuits" served to nobles and the upper class became sweeter & flatter and far removed from the "biscuits" that you would eat at sea - leading to "regular biscuits" (for sea) and "sweet biscuits" for the ones nobles ate. In time, "sweet biscuits" dropped the "sweet" and became just "biscuits" as the main type of biscuit eaten in the UK. Also, as countries often describe things in other countries using their own words - the UK did this with the traditional "chocolate chip cookie, etc", matching the description of what the UK calls biscuit.

Yall got to remember we were munching on biscuits before you where even a country. 1588 my man ! Ship rations !

we dont make tea like that lol, we boil it in a kettle, put teabag first in mug then pour the water from kettle and then add milk and add 1 teaspoon sugar or something

The fries may be fried but the potatoes are chipped hence chips

Have a couples of spoons of beans with bacon sausages eggs etc for breakfast

Hilarious. Mostly London/South East accents mind you; Northern English and Scottish accents and sayings would blow your minds! And they speak much faster too.

😂😂😂 swear down this is funny!! You know being from London we just talk how we do. Don’t pay no mind the pronunciation 🤣. Rah this is jokes

The american meme pronouncing things. Its always the stereotypical cockney accent.

Bi = 2 so Biscuit means cooked twice. If you cut wood what you get is wood Chips. Cut a potato they are Chips. Therefore if Crisps are sliced how can they be Chips.

Not 100% sure, but maybe they're called chips because you chip away at the potato? French fries comes from pomme frite - fried potatoes, which to me sound more like the whole thing! I'm English, I'm prejudiced 😄

I mean seeing as we created the language what we say is right

'Maths' is a contraction of 'mathematics', hence the 's'. :)

stop buying starbucks

British people call cookies cookies, the cookies with chocolate chips and then we have biscuits.

Let’s all remember that Americans came from the UK and changed the language later on

Virtually all the accent memes were using a stereotypical London accent. Even most Londoners don't talk like that, lol. Most Brits have a completely different accent and there's a LOT of different accents! Drive an hour, from any point in England and the accent will be completely different from the accent at your starting point. In some cases you'd only need to drive half an hour, or less! :)

You guys don’t have what we call biscuits you just have a thousand choices of cookies is all, we have cookies too

We have biscuits insted of huge dense cookies because we don't want to get THAT fat.

you doing british accents have me crying. we call ‘chips’ crisps we call ‘fries’ chips and fries as chips are thicker and fries are like the ones you get from mcdonalds. as well a cookie is usally bigger and chewier, and the chunchy ones are biscuits (like digestives) and they dint go w coffee they go w tea. as well chewsday is the superior way. and so is schtupid. as ny brother changes race in the summer and never goes red (i burn but we dint talk abt that) and beans is disgusting, but beans is like top tier breakfast for most people. i gave ny friend a tin of beans fir her birthday. and tea is made: first add tea bag, then add hot water from a kettle or hot water tap, mix, add milk, take tea bag out and then optional: sugar. and its. more maffs then maffimatics. and its SHHHu Uup (or SHHHuT UuP

I have a question for you, why do you call them ''French fries'' if they not even French?

You call them french fries, but they aren't french as where you are isn't france, so no different really. We call them chips because it comes from the old English word cipp which means a small piece of wood as in chipped piece of wood. French fries were invented in 1775 then introduced to Britain we also referred to them as chips as they were chipped off the potato so has two meanings for the word chip. So you call them fries cause of how they're cooked, we call them chips as it refers to how they are cut into the shape.

British high schooler's is a bit extreme, those are English, can tell since they literally look like how Family guy represented them

I don't understand why do Americans make fun of British accent when english was literally created by the british people

We don't understand why you call your pseudo-rugby "football"
