I'm currently trying to read all the DI Rebus novels by Ian Rankin in chronological order so I have encountered these words while reading but I have to admit on many occasions I had to stop reading and Google these words. Hahaha there are more! Yes pls make another video like this one. 💕 Love it!

Your honesty and humour are special.

Your videos are very informative. I've been a fan for a few months. Keep them coming.

In Canada sneakers, or trainers are called runners! And the car park (like one with multiple levels) is a parkade! And soda, like Pepsi or Coke, we call pop!

I think most the coastal areas and western US uses Soda and it's a mix of Soda and Pop in the mid west and southern states. It's a regional thing. Which is kind of funny, friends I've had from Arkansas call anything that's a sweet beverage a Pop. Even Kool-aid.

Hey Erin, I like your video very much. Recently, I have had some crazy idea about mapping the Scottish into our Chinese local language. For instance, in Scottish people say AYE instead of YES. Here, in my hometown NingBo, China. We use the same pronounce AYE to express the same idea. I think there are lots of similar examples exist. Really wanna explore those interesting common words together with you.

Thanks so much for the clarification! I'm an American of Scottish descent, but have never visited there. Since I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who (Peter Capaldi and David Tennant in particular) I was just curious about these language differences!

Stag/hen do is pretty cool. And bum bag! Also pram here is some kind of boat maybe. And a trolley is a type of rail car used to transport people or things.

I have so many friends from the UK, because I knew a lot of these! I didn't know the lottie? I guess it's because that doesn't usually come up in regular conversation! One of my fave videos Erin xxx

I've worked in home construction in the US. Most homes that where built from the 1960s till now have constant power to the outlets exception of some nothern style homes or in cases where people specifically asked for them.

I have been listening to you for so long now I already knew most of these. However I do have some Scottish friends and learning what fanny meant the hard way after they busted into laughter when I used the word "wrong."

New Zealand is nearly 100% the same as Scotland with the terms you mentioned. Except candy/sweets are lollies and popsicles/ice lollies and ice blocks. I am Southern American born but live in New Zealand. So I have learned these terms well. I want to visit Scotland soooo bad. My heritage is Scottish (surname Napier).

I'd love to learn these accents, your video has a wealth of information and I realize there 3 different ones but it's too bad that I can't tell which is which because that's precisely why wanted to watch your video. It would help tremendously if you would tell us in a way that we could start learning the differences.

I love "bum bag". Gonna use that from now on. I love UK slang in general. It sounds so cool and unique.

'Popsicle' is a trademark in the US. Where I was born, sidewalks are pavements, too (but it's often pronounced payment). Both 'cut the grass' and 'mow the lawn' are used in the US; it seems to vary by region.

Erin, I think you might find it amusing how variegated words are here in the US. I’ve been to Scotland and experienced some of the word differences, I grew up in Florida and now live in New England. Many word differences there also. What made me think of this is your mention of hundreds and thousands… That was one of the things that I noticed when I was over there. Many people in the US call them sprinkles, as you noted, however, in many other parts of the US people call them Jimmies.

A couple of questions: If you call a yard a garden, what would do you use for what we call a garden (ex. vegetable garden)? I was already aware you call soccer football, but what do you call American football?

We say Red Leather, Yellow Leather. In America. Very common for professional speakers, newcasters, actors, singers to use as warm up before going on stage or air.

That was fun and informative thanks. Here in North America "Football" is a different sport, so I guess that's why we call "your" football Soccer. (I don't think you have "our" Football in Europe...?) Also, to us a "Garden" is the flower and shrug portion, not necessarily the grass; lawn and garden are often differentiated.

We speak the same language, but use different words lol. I like your words better than some of my words. We use words to communicate and we use the words that best do that job, so when in America, look in the trunk, however, in the boot in Scotland. In case I have not discovered it since writing this, could you explain where the name Scotland really came from? How did it go from Alba to Scotland and when did that take place? Who was responsible for that one?

Hi Erin, you use the term "you's" to represent you all. (3:56) In the US it depends on where you're from, I've heard things like, You all, All-ya, You-ins, and Yall. We also have different names for soft drinks like, Soda or Pop. In the US a lot of terms depend on the location you were raised. Maybe because the US is bigger than several countries combined we can't seem to get our linguistic stuff together? :)

A very informative and interesting video Erin. There were a few that I knew already. Here is one for you: It's a purty (pretty) fer piece down the road. Translation: The thing you are looking for is a very long way down the road.

In the southern USA, we call a grocery cart, a buggy, and we also call the car trunk the boot, but that is only in the south. Mainly, I think it's because the southern US was settled by the Scottish and Irish. My father has a lot of Scottish, and Irish ancestry.

+Jeb _"... we also call the car trunk the boot, but that is only in the south. Mainly, I think it's because the southern US was settled by the Scottish and Irish."_ Cares weren't invented until long after the US was settled. The reason we use different words is that they were invented relatively recently; if cars had existed back then, we'd all use the same words.

Even more confusing here in the US is that different regions of the country use different names for the same thing. For instance, soft drinks are also called "cola", "pop", (I learned to call it that here in Indiana), as well as "soda". I have to agree w/others that your accent is wonderful to listen to! Truly enjoy your vids!!

One thing I’m curious about, when scots say “it’s the back o’ ten”, is that before ten or before 11?

Lovely video. Years ago I said to a woman you are very funny and she said this is bad word. She thought that I said fa nny. How can I say these words in accent more clear?

The two that always confused me were "Half ", because I couldn't tell if you were talking about half past one hour or halfway to the next hour...like: half seven could be either 6:30 or 7:30 to me.

Apparently I spend a lot of time watching Scottish videos because nothing surprised me. What do you call a sandwich on a long bread? It varies here depending on where you live.

So an icicle is made with water, a popsicle is made of a sugary liquid as pop is, (Soda pop). Garden is where plants and vegetables grow so what do you call where you plant and not mow? Sprinkles are also known as Jimmy's. Trunk is also known as a deck lid. Sneakers or Tennis shoes. The original name for Cotton Candy was Fairy Floss. A cell is an eight mile circle around a cell tower that transmits the cell phone signal. A Mall is a building with all the stores connected within. A Shopping center also known as a Strip mall is a long building with each store having a front door from the outside.The word "soccer" is from your side of the pond and comes from the use of the term "association football" in Britain and goes back 200 years. It must of been here before the whole Boston Tea thing.lol And here is the Red Leather, Yellow Leather tongue twister. USA.
