I think it's interesting to see how the language adjusts over time to societal norms. As more and more people give up landlines, there's less need to call it a "cell" phone or a "mobile" phone or even a "smart" phone now that they're so ubiquitous...they're just a phone.

I have lived in the US my whole life and have never heard someone call it a "drug store." Where I'm from, it's "pharmacy." It's interesting to see how different English is, even in different parts of America. Edit: I also want to mention that where I am, we call places like Walgreens or CVS by their names. We don't say "I'm going to the drug store," we say "I'm going to Walgreens/CVS." That could explain why I don't hear "drug store" because it's just the name of the store to us.

exactly... but its just the problem with their age and personal knowledge... If they are talking about behind the counter perscription drugs/pills then all 3 countries say: pharmacy if they are talking about a store that sells both beverages and ointments and anti headache pills that you can grab yourself, its a chemist(UK) drugstore(US) pharmacy(AU) But probably the weirdest thing happens when you ask someone from the UK all the place a chemist can work... 25% of answers is: they only work at the chemist/pharmacy. and 50% answers :chemist/pharmacy or hospital. So without giving them multiple choice, chemistry professors and laboratory experts dont exist if you ask those people....

It's so usefull, i have learnt many ways to talk these words

Fun fact: Cinema is short for a Cinematograph, which was the first camera - a motion picture maker. It was named such by the French Lumiere brothers. The British used to go to the "Cinematograph", a theatre where one would play, and in time they shortened it and called it a "cinema". When the technology went to the United States, they called it a "moving picture" or a "motion picture", which is a direct translation of "cinematography". This turned into a "movie", and the place where it would play - a "movie theater".

Hello!

In the US, in the 60s, what we now call flip-flops were called thongs and go-aheads. What we now call gas stations in the US used to be called service stations because you could get your car serviced there. They all employed auto mechanics who could work on your car. I only hear cell phone when there's a need to be clear about it. Otherwise, it's just phone. A home phone is called a land line. What we now call bangs was originally lunatic fringe. In the US, we use both drug store and pharmacy. A drug store sells lots of stuff other than just drugs and within the drug store, the place where you get prescription drugs is called the pharmacy. So, when you visit a drug store, you might ask (assuming it's not obvious), where's the pharmacy. Often, there's a sign on the wall that says, Pharmacy.

Lovely! Thank you!

"Service station" was a common US term until self-service pumps came along. Prior to the change, employees would pump fuel, check & add oil and fluids levels, and wash windows while the fuel was filling up.

Imagine how difficult it is for people who have to translate from their language to English in business. I worked in China and I am Australian as were two of the owners of the business, one owner who was effectively the boss was American and a couple of the engineers were English. My secretary had a difficult time because she had to translate technical terms as well as common ones. She did a fabulous job. The one i remember most fondly was when one of the Chinese asked for an explosive bolt. I giggled at this because at one stage I actually did buy explosive bolts for the crew escape module on an F111 jet. It turned out he wanted expanding bolts or as they are popularly known as Dyna bolts.

Regarding flip flops, I believe the official term for that design is “Thong Sandal”. They were simply called “Thongs” in the United States in the 60s and 70s. The slang flip flop started to take hold in the 80s, probably thanks to, in no small part, the 1978 Jimmy Buffet song “Margaritaville”

Sorry, no way. Grew up in Philly Pa. in the 60s. Never heard any other term for these beach sandals other than flip-flops. But the term was specific for the cheap, rubber kind. Never used for leather or vinyl variety. Those were thongs or sandals. Never heard of thongs as underpants until the late 80s or even early 90s and I assumed they were named for the sandal's design. But foam rubber sandals that slide on and separate the big toe from the rest, - always flip-flops.

Flip-flops were called thongs growing up in Southern California many years ago. Sandwiches, especially those from Sandwich shops, have many different names in the states. Subway or subs, grinders, hoagies are just a few of the names. Drugstore is the name I grew up with. Pharmacy is a part of the drugstore where you get prescription medications.

Other confectionary are called sweets in general or sweeties for little-uns/kiddies/small children 😂 but have various names for styles of sweets of course, that's a whole subject on its own right there!

I think some of the Aussie lady's terminology reflects her age. I'm a Gen X Aussie, and I still distinguish between a mobile phone and home phone/landline when I mention them. I also say chemist sometimes instead of pharmacy. Also, the 'lollies' in the photo are a general term for those kinds of foods - but lollies on a stick are lollipops. We never say candy.

Sneakers are also “tennis shoes” in US. Fairy floss is nice. “Clang, clang, clang goes the trolley” is a US song. Meaning the train coming into town. “Bangs” in America comes from horses, who had a “bangtail” cut of their manes for certain shows. Bang was a word implying abrupt ending. McDonald’s was also called “The Golden Arches”.

In the south we usually refer to shopping carts as a “buggy” lmao. When I moved to the midwest for college, if I’d go shopping with my friends they would always give me strange looks if I asked them to grab a buggy like what in the yee yee shit.

Some comments on the Aussie words - The underwear form of thongs is called a “g-string” in Aus, “thongs” always refers to the shoe unless someone has been watching too many American shows, so if you said I lost my thong that would mean you’d lost a single shoe. Bonus fact: “flip-flops” are called “jandals” in New Zealand. “Joggers” the soft fleece material pants are called “trackies” in Aus or “tracky dacks” short for tracksuit pants. But yes, in general, items of clothing that you put your legs into are called pants as opposed to trousers. Bonus fact 2: to be “dacked” is to have your pants pulled down by someone else (or accidentally, eg. If you skidded across a sporting field and your pants pulled down in the process you would have “dacked yourself”), usually performed on one teenage boy by another in the schoolyard as a joke. Depends on the state/person, but those white shoes could also be called sneakers or runners, but runners would usually be more the Nike style proper running shoe than the casual shoe. Sometimes the casual shoe is just referred to by its brand eg. “Converse”

5:49 eh, movies is definitely more popular in America, but film isn't unheard of either. Especially if you're really big on them. The words get used in slightly different situations. So I went to "film school" in America, I didn't go to "movie school". I don't think anyone would ever say "movie school". And I would be more likely to say "I'm into film" if I'm describing it as a hobby/passion of mine than I would say "I'm into movies". But then again if I'm asking someone else, I'd probably be more likely to say "do you like movies?" than "do you like films?". And I'd always say "lets go to the movies" vs "lets go to the theater to watch a film". The latter would just come off as unnecessarily pretentious to people I think.

Southern US’ian here (Texan, Deep East) I’ve got to add what we call things because I feel left out. 1.) Fries (specifically shoestring even though that’s like ultra thin other places) 2.) Cotton Candy (I say fairy floss) 3.) Flip Flops or Thongs 4.) Tennis shoes 5.) Gas Station, Service Station, or Truck Stop (Service Station implies larger, sells food, truck stops are huge and for truckers) 6.) Movie Theatre/Theatre? I’m not sure, we never say “I’m at the movie theatre” we say “I am watching a movie in the theatre” 7.) Phone. It’s pretty rare to hear cellphone. 8.) Buggy or Cart, the former is in general and the latter is when irritated 9.) Sandwich 10.) Bangs, a fringe refers to a specific style of bangs and also encompasses the entire front half of hair, not just the parts cut above the eyebrows. 11.) Pharmacy, drug store sounds so old. 12.) McD’s, McDonald’s, MickeyD’s 13.) Candy
