Agreed. Would definitely say pumped over buzzing, amped or hyped.

Several of those American slang words such as ‘hood’, ‘crib’, ‘homie’, and ‘bro’ originated from African-American culture and have just entered mainstream American English in the last 2 or 3 decades. And ‘pal’ or ‘chum’ also mean ‘friend’ but are no longer in common use, mostly among older people.

Like “hood”, “crib” would also be used by certain people in America (is that what you mean by “tribal”?).

In the US, we use pumped much more than hyped or amped. Additionally, go Dutch is very old school. No one says it much. We say split the bill.

Crib is used more commonly as an urban slang word in America for house though. What I mean is, you won't hear crib used as often in rural/country settings.

For "area" in America, some of us even call it our "block"; not just one particular block of homes and businesses, but the set of blocks that make up the area or neighborhood. So yeah, my block. ETA: There is a neighborhood here in Los Angeles that's referred to as a "manor"; it's a spot out here called Crenshaw Manor

Americans say Pumped for excited, Hammered for drunk and Pissed Off for angry. Trap is a common slang here for mouth. Also, In the old days Shattered was slang for someone heart broken or devastated

Tom, thank you so much for this. Quizes at the end really help to memorize the material. Good luck!

Hey nice lesson man! I didn't know many of these British terms. I'm American, and I don't really think there's a common slang term besides 'hood' for area...usually people would just say 'hometown', or 'neighborhood'. 👍

Piehole is also British slang, or used to be. I remember encountering the word for the first time in a UK import periodical called Zit Comic in the 1990s.

Many of these American slang terms (crib, amped, hood, homie) find their origin in AAVE (what used to be called ebonics) and have made their way into the American mainstream.

Thanks man ....that really helped me

As a substitute for “friend” when addressing someone, Americans, particularly those 30 and older will often call them “buddy” or “bud” in the way a Brit will address their friend as “mate.” A younger American is more likely to say “dude” or as you noted, “bro.” Buddy is not normally used to speak about someone in the third person.

The term buck has pretty cool origins, before the continental North America had currency the hide of a deer was the standard bartering token. Typically hunters would go offer bucks.

Also in (British) English, just add a -ed to the end of any noun to demonstrate how drunk you are. "I'm absolutely trollied mate", "Oi, you seen Kev? He's spannered", "Yeah saw her last night man, she was jacuzzied".

Americans also frequently use "jazzed" to mean "excited". Also, I don't hear "go Dutch" anymore really. We also use "pissed off", in fact, in American English, "pissed" is elliptical for "pissed off".

The term "cop" came from "copper" so its really a shortened version of the British Slang. The term Copper was the original, unshortened word, originally used in Britain to mean "someone who captures". (In British English the term Cop is recorded (Shorter Oxford Dictionary) in the sense of 'To Capture' from 1704, derived from the Latin 'Capere' via the Old French 'Caper'). The common myth is that it's a term referring to the police officer's buttons which are made of copper.

We just identify our hood or area by the town that we live in. Our family lives in the country so we just say our hood or area is...the closest town. Some people also also identify their hood or area by the county... Not countRy but county. Personally our closet town is very small (most people have never heard of it) so especially when we travel out of State and people ask where we are from we explain that we live an hour away from the University of Texas A&M. Most people know about the Universities in.the USA because college football is very popular! When we travel abroad we just explain that our hood or area is south-central Texas.

I remember people in England referring to their neighborhood as their "estate". Is that no longer in use? Also it's amazing how much overlap their is. We use many - not all - of the English slang here, but it's the third or fourth most common way of saying it. Seems the same in reverse. And I wonder if we're more divided by country or generation? I think that millennials in the two countries are much more likely to use the same slang than previous generations.

We dont really use hood, unless youre from the hood lol. Plus, hood is kind of a 90s term, that I feel like it's fizzling out with Gen Z, but idk I could be wrong. Just like "crib". I'm sure some Gen Z kids might say crib. but idk it's deff a 90s word here in the US, and kind of a ghetto word too. Feel like Gen Z kids, or even most people, would just say like "my place" (let's go back to my place). My generation deff stopped using "going Dutch" (late 90s). We (late 90s/ Gen Z) also say just "split the bill"

Hey Tom I have a word for you... Chill-axing. It means deep relaxation. I thought it was a little on the ghetto-ish side when I first heard it. But it grows on you after awhile.

Tom, looking calmly at your video again, I've been thinking: - What a weird and curious thing! - The slang word "quid" is also a Latin word that means literally "what?" and which is often used in Italian to express an indefinable quality or, even more often, an undetermined quantity and precisely with reference to money........so it could be considered, compared to my language, a so-called "false friend" 🤔, right? There isn't, instead, a slang term to say € in my region but in Rome and the surrounding area they use to say 'un sacco' (a sack/bag) for € 1, 'uno scudo' (a shield) for € 5 and 'una piotta' (? no tranlastion, dialect word) for € 100 😄 ......

You aren't going to hear "crib" from out of Americans except from a certain social group. I wouldn't use hood, I would say area. We also use split the bill frequently. Our "pissed" is just a contraction for pissed off but most kids (hopefully) would get their mouth washed out for using it. Piss is considered little better than shit. How bad a word is "bloody" in British English? I know it has become fairly common here. Usually to replace a curse word. I always thought it was a curse word.

So, "crib" is not general slang in American English; it's specifically from black English. "Hyped", "pumped", yes, but also very commonly, "psyched".

In America we also call cops Po Po or other words that are not not very nice. For drunk we would said plastered or buzzing.

Cakehole can also be called yapper. Yapper is slightly disrespectful/derogatory. Like if you are super tired of hearing hearing your sister complain and she didn’t take the hint that you didn’t want to hear any more. Go Dutch is more informal. Hammered is defiantly used maybe in a informal way
