Im English with Scottish parents from Dundee, whom are now both dead. The SNP hate English, so I am now not welcome back to my home land, Im English born but lived my first 7 years in Scotland.
Scone like phone, or better yet, just call it a "biscuit". Its breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and bedtime snack. The bathrobe is called a bathrobe.Thats why its made like a towel...to soak up left over water after a bath. A nightgown is thinner like a neglegee but not as sexy. House coat??? Nah. And chocolate is tempered. Store it at room temperature! Not at 36 degrees fahrenheit in the fridge! Not at 90f in the attic! 65-70f! Over cooling chocolate will cause it to get a whiteish haze to it. Thats how we roll in Milwaukee wi usa anyway.
In the US it's "bathrobe", "remote or clicker", "lunch is mid-day and dinner/supper is later", scOne rhymes with phone", "pop or soda depending where you live..."juice" is from fruit", "sausage patty"
Yep.same .(different name). Ill bet you also knew the exact antenna adjustment for ALL (4 or 5) of the channels! What about the tracking though? Could be tricky sometimes.....
Hermes were due to COLLECT something from me today. True to form the courier knocked and ran away (there isn't a bell). And left the wrong card. Maybe he just assumed he is supposed to deliver something. I will find out tomorrow, if I am lucky! My house really p*sses off Hermes, DPD and all the others. Motor vehicles hadn't been invented when the house was built and the lane is too narrow to get a big van down to the end where I live. So they have to get out of their van and rediscover out what their legs are for. If my lane was in Scotland it would be called a wynd!
Hi Erin. I'm from Canada and my Gran moved here from Dundee after WWII and I grew up listening to Dundonian which I'm sure had some influence on my vocabulary. 1. Bathrobe. I just call it a bathrobe but my grandparents called it a housecoat. As a man, I wouldn't refer to it as a gown. 2. TV remote. I call it the clicker. 3. Lunch, dinner, tea, etc. Most of us don't have a tea time but combine tea and supper into one meal which some people call dinner. Personally, I don't like the term "dinner" as it doesn't indicate which meal you're referring to so I always use Lunch or Supper. 4. Scones. Not really big over here but we love English Muffins. But I would pronounce scone just like stone. 5. Juice. For me to call a beverage juice, it has to contain fruit juice. Drinks like Coke, ginger ale, root beer, etc, we refer to as pop or, less commonly, soda pop. 6. Ding dong ditch. Sometimes we call it "Nicky nicky nine doors". 7. Salt & vinegar, salt and sauce. Okay, when I think of a chipper, I imagine a chip truck. When we order chips, or fries, we would get them either with salt and vinegar, ketchup, or gravy (brown sauce). I've heard of some weirdos putting mayonnaise but I'm sure they must be out on a day pass or something. 8. Square sausage? I guess that would just be sausage patties to us. 9. Potatoes. I just call them potatoes or taters. My gran called them tatties. BTW, love your channel. Keep up the great work.
ok. Just to confuse everyone, I'm in the "Deep South (Georgia)" of the US, all soft drinks are Coke, then you specify. To many people, it's diner and supper bc in the past, & many being farmers, the bigger meal was at lunch (dinner) to get them out of the sun for a longer time bc it was too hot to stay outside.
We used to call dinner 'tea' in NZ, but people tend to call it dinner nowadays. Dessert used to be called 'pudding' too. Soft drinks are usually referred to by their brand names. Scone is pronounced in a similar way to 'gone', and fish and chip shops are also called takeaways or take out. Potatoes are sometimes called spuds. Morning tea and afternoon tea are often called 'smoko' in the workplace.
1. Dressing Gown 2. The remote 3. Lunch and Dinner (Argyll & Bute) 4. Scone as in gone 5. Juice 6. Glasgow for nightlife, Edinburgh for a day out. 7. Chap chap run away 8. Salt and vinegar (pizza crunch supper) 9. Square sausage 10. Both, whatever comes out 😂 I mean......all I can forgive if you say differently....apart from dressing gown....if you say house coat you're a wrong un 😂
From an Aberdonian: dressing gown, changer (it changes the channels, make sense), dinner and tea, scone to rhyme with Don, juice is used to everythiiiing apart from water, Glasgow for the patter and Edinburgh for the views, chappin’, battered sausage supper with salt and vinegar, Lorne sausage, tatties! This was fun 😂
Just stumbled upon your channel and finding this hilarious. I’m from Irvine, Ayrshire and I call them - - dressing gown - clicker - lunch - scone … like gone (a scone and tea at half past tea makes the day a little brighter, so take your cakes and fancy pies and shove them up your … if you know, you know!) - it’s juice. Fizzy juice, diluting juice, fruit juice, it’s aw juice - Edinburgh. I live nearer Glasgow but I worked there for years, Edinburgh feels like a holiday - chappy! - salt & vinegar - SLICE (I feel strongly about this one, feel likes it’s an Ayrshire thing) - tattie, totties is a disgrace This was class, new subscriber here! :)
Love this video. I lived in Scotland for 2 years and lived everywhere from Irvine to Thursday to Liberton. I loved hearing this because I heard things referred to so differently in every area. For me it was lime living in a different country every time I moved. Even though I was just moving to a different town. Great video keep them up. Love getting the Scot accent it take me back to a great time in my life.
On the west coast of the United States, and we're talking a long time ago (circa 1970's). A remote control was often referred as a "Clicker", as depressing the buttons made a loud clicking sound. This was a time when remotes had only 2 or 4 buttons - channel up & down and if you were really fancy, volume up and down.
As a French lass, a cannae thank ye enough for yer videos : they help me improve ma comprehension skills, ma accent (the most difficult part as a French speaker), and ma knowledge of yer wonderful country and culture, in quite an entertaining and interesting way. A’m so in love with Scottish accents, culture, country and people... my life goal is tae move tae my dream country Scotland and tae teach French there! Some months ago a would say it was impossible, but now this is a dream a believe in. PS: excuse me if a’m butchering yer language, but a’m trainin’ as much as possible te intergrate it... so if someone could comment on my writing and give me some advice, a would be grateful! As a ken many Scots write in an English closer to England’s, it might be too much, so let me ken what is best! Mes salutations!:)
I’m from Canada, but raised by Scottish parents and I lived in Glasgow for four years: bath robe, the remote or the flipper (because you flip through the channels with it), lunch and dinner, scone rhyming with gone, fizzy drinks = pop (or I would just call it by its name, i.e. coke, irn bru, etc.), Glasgow will always have a special place in my heart, nicky nicky nine door, salt and vinegar, square sausage, tatties
Born in Kirkcaldy, but moved to Toronto, Ontario. Growing up my parents would call our main meal "tea time" and potatoes were "tatties". Chip shop (Duckworths the best in T.O.) we had fish and chips (the old fashion way before they replaced newsprint with regular paper) with salt & malt vinegar. Ma da would go to the local Scottish bakery to get "square sausage" & a dozen fresh baked baps on a Sunday ( Or' treat ). Keep up the good work Erin, good to hear/see your doing well and your family. Cheers!
''See i'm asking the important questions here'' haha, you're so right lass We're not Scottish, but love everything Scottish, so thanks for this wee video :) We spent 9 months in Scotland in 2019, and i remember the first time we ordered fish and chips, the guy asked me a question. For the life of me i could not figure out what he was saying in his thick Scottish accent haha. I must have looked at him for 2 minutes with a stupid face. Turned out he asked 'single or supper' lol. Ah bonnie Scotland...wish we were there..
In many ways these types of arguments remind me of what happens where I live in New Jersey USA. We even argue about whether or not there's a central Jersey. I think there is, btw, because I live in central Jersey lol. I love hearing all about how you reference things. My grandfather was Scottish. He would say lunch and supper (dinner). Thoroughly enjoy your vids!
I come from the West Coast of California and we call the last meal of the day..."dinner". That being said, I have a friend that comes from the midlands of Ireland, and they have both supper and dinner. That totally confused me, as one was a light meal in the latter evening.
I'm from Perth (live in Glasgow currently) but my parents are straight up Glaswegians so I agree with most of what you've said! Except i only ever say "potato" never "tottie" or "tattie" even when it comes to classic potato scones! Also, I went to uni in Aberdeen, and I learned that up there they call "chippy's".. "chippers"?! Insane... ITS A CHIPPY! 🤣
@@alexmalcolm1999 Definitely east coast! Central and west we call it a chippy! (not going to lie, have found myself calling it a chipper after living up north for a few years!) but in my heart it's always a chippy ;)
glasgow for shopping well used to before lockdown...Edinburgh for bit of culture..love the scottish portrait gallery and loved the vegan restaurants before covid...my fav Hendersons now closed because of lockdowns
Dressing gown, the Control, Dinner & Tea, scone rhyming with prawn, I just call it juice, Edinburgh, knock knock run, salt and vinegar never heard of salt and sauce 😂, square sausage, tatties. I was born in south queensferry and moved to the highlands when a was a Bairn. Also quick story, I was at school once and forgot my homework and I said to the teacher “ugh I know exactly where I left it, i can picture it on the bunker” I’ve never seen a move confused looking class and teacher 😂😂 this then caused chat throughout all the teachers in the school because they had never heard of the word bunker before, I was shocked 😂😂😂
Fascinating video! As a Californian who has travelled a lot internationally (incl. England/Wales/Ireland a few times) but not yet made it to Scotland, consider doing a video on "insider, off-the-beaten-tracks" things a visitor should see in your country - not the typical tourist stuff. Just a friendly suggestion...
I’m from the Northeast US So here goes: Housecoat, Remote, Lunch is at noon Dinner or Supper is early evening, Scone like cone with a long O, Juice is juice, orange juice, grape juice. Juice comes from fruit or vegetables that are squeezed. I’d get salt and vinegar at the chippy. Potato is potato, maybe Taters.
I'm in the US and I call it a robe but my mom calls it a house coat. We eat breakfast lunch and dinner, or breakfast dinner and supper. Love your videos!
1. Goonie 2. Remote 3. Lunch and dinner 4. Scone prawn 5. Juice 6. Glasgow but auld reekie folk are really nice 7. Chapping 8. Salt and sauce 9. Square sausage 10. Tattie (scone prawn) Born in Edinburgh but grew up in the west. Love your vlogs Erin x
In Georgia, US, It’s remote, bathrobe. A dressing gown is more of a fancy robe only women wear. House coat is a shapeless, often floral snap up dress old women wear around the house all day. Lunch is the midday meal, supper is the evening meal. We say scone like you do, I guess because we have Scottish ancestry in our family.
Glasgow 🤗 We love watching your videos from Brisbane Erin. My Dad was from Dennistoun and your videos remind me of some of the words and phrases he used 🤗 so proud of my Scottish heritage 🏴
Bread. there are of course 'pan' loaves which have the crust all round and 'plain' loaves which have no crust on the sides. My point is that the people from Fife that I know refer to the 'plain' loaf as a 'half loaf' because they are baked in pairs and split after baking. Love this video because you refer to things exactly as I do. I am from Old Kilpatrick.
1. Dressing Gown 2. Tv Remote or Remote 3. Dinner and lunch (sometimes I say tea for dinner) 4. Scone rhyming with prone 5. Fizzy juice or the name of the fizzy Drink 6. Both (I can’t choose that) 7. Chappy 8. vinegar and tomato sauce ( I don’t like salt on my food) 9. Square Sausage 10. Tattie
Scottish Borders but family from Edinburgh. Dressing gown and what we wore underneath was either a nightie, goonie or jammies. Dinner for lunch, tea for dinner and supper for a snack before bed, usually tea and toast. Scone/prawn. Remote. Tatties. Ring-bang-scoot. Square sausage. Lemonade for all fizzy juice otherwise diluting juice or juice. Salt and sauce. Edinburgh.
Western Canada. Mom's from a little village, and Dad's from Eastern Canada. 1. Bath Robe 2. Remote control (sometimes a clicker) 3. Lunch around noon, dinner around 7pm. We don't say tea or supper. 4. Sk-own 5. Pop (for carbonated drinks), Fuzzy water (for carbonated water), Juice (for non-carbonated fruit juice), Water (for water) 6. No preference. I don't really know the difference. 7. Ding-dong-ditch 8. Fish and chips, usually served with a slice of lemon and tartar sauce to dip 9. I have no idea what you're talking about. Square sausage? 10. Potatoes, or taters (tay-ters)
American with Scottish (Glaswegian) relatives: Generally bathrobe, but dressing gown > house coat Remote or clicker Lunch, tea around 4 which constitutes tea and a snack, usually toast, then dinner with parents, supper with grandparents. Grew up rhyming with phone, but after going to Scotland rhymes with prawn. Omg, juice! This was an issue. Where I grew up fizzy drinks were pop, where I live now usually soda. Juice only applies to fruit juices here. Glasgow! My family is there! Been to Edinburgh a few times. It's fine, I like sightseeing, but definitely Glasgow. Ding-dong ditch. If you get "fish n chips" in the states its served with ketchup. Square sausage. Never heard sliced before. So many words for potatoes in the states. Generally more "tot" here, but always tatties with Scottish family.
Grew up in Newfoundland 🇨🇦 now live on the West coast 1. Bathrobe 2.lunch and supper 3. Soda 4. Salt n Vinegar 5. In nfld we would have fish n chips, battered cod tongues...kinda a like popcorn chicken but fish, mince meat n gravy over chips or dressing n gravy over chips 6. potatos 7. Glasgow
1: Bathrobe 2: A remote but it’s also called a clicker by some 3: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper 4: Tacoman and it’s Sc(o)ne 5: Soda and juice are different 6: No idea 7: ding dong ditch 8: Salt and Vinegar with fish and chips but we usually get tarter sauce 9: Sausage patties 10: Taters
From Edinburgh. Dressing gown, the flicker, lunch and tea, scone (prawn), individual name etc, Edinburgh, tap door run, just have salt on my chippy. Not a fan of brown sauce. Half pizza supper, square sausage, tattie scone. Great video Erin! :)
Canada: Housecoat, remote, dinner/lunch - dinner/supper (weird mixed up from the French here, lol), your "juice" - pop, Edinburgh was my fav Glasgow was nice too, sausage patty.
I grew up in Ardrossan, been in Glasgow more than 10 years now: 1. House coat if it's fluffy, dressing gown if it's satin/silky/fancy 2. The remote 3. Lunch and dinner 4. Scone rhymes with Don 5. It's all juice 6. Glasgow, always :) 7. Knock the door and run away/Chappie 8. Salt and vinegar. Deep fried pizza supper! 9. Slice 10. Tattie
I'm born and raised in Canada but have Scottish ancestry. Here's my list top to bottom, Housecoat, Clicker or turner, lunch then supper or dinner, Scone like phone, carbonated drinks are pop - juice is made from fruit or vegetable, Edinburgh, knock and run, Fries with gravy (brown Sauce :) ), Square or Lorne Sausage, Potatoes are potatoes or taters if they are breaded.
In my place, called India we call tea as a light, food which can be tea or a coffee or whatever you like around the time of evening in between noon lunch and dinner at night.
The 'juice' debate rages in the States too - only it's between 'soda' and 'pop'. Soda tends to be east coast. Pop is midwestern. Co-cola is southern. All sodas are co-cola, as in "I need me a swalla o'that RC co-cola to go with ma moon pah.".
Right here we go. I’m from Glasgow. 1. Housecoat 2.remote or flicker cos my gran called it that 3. Lunch and dinner but if someone said eating their tea I’d assume they were meaning their dinner 4. Sc-on 5. Just juice usually but I sometimes say I’ll pick up a bottle of ginger for fizzy juice 6. Glasgow but I’m bias 7. Ding dong ditch 8. Salt and vinegar. Sausage supper is my go to but some potato fritters are also a shout 9. Square sausage 10. Just potato 😬
Ironically, "pop" is the more historically correct term. It started because the early stoppered bottles that held carbonated beverages made a "popping" noise when they were first opened...
1 - Dressing gown (never heard the word "housecoat") 2 - remote 3 - Lunch and Dinner 4 - S'gone 5 - I used to call it "fizzy juice" but lately I've started using "ginger" I use "diluting juice" for diluting juice though 6 - Glasgow. Still Game. 7 - Chappy 8 - I don't take it myself but they would ask "you want Salt and Vinegar with that?" I always take a sausage supper from the chippy. 9 - Square Sausage (Lorne is acceptable as long as you don't call it a "Flat sausage" or a "saus-edge") 10 - Tatties I won't be too specific about where I am, all I'll say is that I'm somewhere north of Inverness
Dressing Gown, Remote, Lunch at lunch time dinner in evening, Scone (like Gone), Glasgow, Salt & Vinegar, Tatties.... from Essex but my dad and grandad were from Port Glasgow.
I've never heard anyone else call a bathrobe a housecoat! My mom called it that when I was growing up (here in southern US, but her mom was German so maybe that's why?) and all my friends thought I was eccentric for it lol
Glasgow here. 1: Bathrobe for sure. I'm from the west end and the wife is from the east end. Both call it bathrobe. 2: Remote. Simples lol. 3: Lunch and dinner 4: Scawn 5: Juice. Went through a "jeg" phase as a teen. 6: Glasgow to live. Edinburgh to look at. 7: Chap the door, run away. 8: Salt and Vinegar on my fish supper from the chippie. 9: Square slice. Roll 'n square slice. 10: Totty. Totty Scawn. Another interesting on is the television. Is it a TV or a Telly?
I'm from just outside Glasgow 1. Dressing gown 2. Remote 3. Lunch and dinner 4. Scone/prawn 5. Juice 6. Glasgow hahaha (Edinburgh feels like a holiday but I prefer Glasgow) 7. Chap chap run? 8. Salt and vinegar (when I heard of salt and sauce it caused nightmares) 9. Square sausage 10. Tattie scone, but just say potato's otherwise, tattie is reserved for the scone 🏴 Ps. I have a horrifying story, went on a uni night out to Edinburgh, and being used to glasgow I was obviously excited for a 3am chippy. McDonald's was closed, chippy was closed, my dreams were dying. The only place opened was a full sit in restaurant. I've never been so confused (did enjoy 3am pasta though)
Great video Erin I’m from Hamilton, South Lanarkshire Housecoat Remote Lunch and Dinner Scone (prawn) It’s all juice Glasgow!!! I don’t mind a wee trip to Edinburgh but I absolutely feel more comfortable in Glasgow Chappie Salt and vinegar (I usually get a steak pie supper and 2 pickled onions) Slice I just call them potatoes or sometimes spuds lol I moved to Ayrshire last year, my partner and her family are all from here and it’s a whole other language 🤣
In Texas we call a remote a controller. We call potatoes by how they are made. Example is mashed up potatoes, fried potatoes, baked potatoes, roasted red potatoes. Sweet potatoes and potatoe salad. We love potatoes her on holiday we eat several kinds of potatoes.
Hi from Vancouver BC Canada - 1. Robe, 2. Remote, 3. Lunch then Dinner, 4. I did say scone for years and then someone told me in UK it's "right" to say Skon, so now I say Skon. Still popular to hear scone around here though. 5. Juice is orange; Coca Cola, Sprite, etc is called Pop here. In the States it's Soda. 6. Only visited Edinburgh, and feels like home! 7. ?? what's the question? 8. Salt & Vinegar with fries (chips for you). 9. Sausage is sausage; never been asked if I want square. Sliced, maybe. 10. Potatoes. - That was fun. :)
The evening meal is called Tea for the working class. You have the big meal after you finish work. Around 6pm. 7pm at the latest. If you are posh you call the evening meal dinner and you have it after 8pm.
Central Scotland (Stirling area) dressing gown | remote | lunch and dinner | scawn | individual names | Edinburgh gets the slight edge | (I've never really called it anything) | salt and vinegar (and a pickled onion :) ) | square sausage | potato
Housecoat, switcher, lunch, dinner but our dog gets supper, scone like phone, pop, I love all of Scotland, nicki nicki nine doors, salt and ketchup with fish and chips, I don't think we have square sausage, potatoes, but my husband calls it mince and tatis when we have sheppard pie because his family came from Scotland. What I found strange when I was in Scotland is that you don't put the eggs in the fridge. Fun video. I played along.
Enjoyed your video and have subscribed. My maiden name is Scottish, I love all the fun facts and funny things you have in your videos about Scotland. Im from Texas so...1) housecoat, 2)remote, but I’ve heard it called the clicker, 3) some of us say dinner for lunch and supper for evening meal. This started in our family because when the men came in from working the fields on the farm for the noon meal, this would be the big cooked meal for the day and then supper was usually what was left and warmed from the noon meal, 4) we don’t normally have scones, but we say scone like phone(I love blueberry scones), 5) we call carbonated beverages coke and they are different flavors..like Sprite, etc., 6) n/a, 7) I am so hungry for fish, sadly we don’t really have anywhere to get fish and chips easily, I got some at an English Pub nearby, wonderful....but we use tarter sauce. 7) we had a very derogatory term for it and I won’t repeat it because it’s not nice🙄8) n/a 9) we say sausage patty. 10) Taters with a very long A sound. Lol
Videos like this make me realize I'm not gonna understand a damn word anyone says when I visit Scotland. But also that I'll be ok with that because everything sounds so pretty. I think I'll be doing a lot of smiling and nodding XD
About the Dinner and tea question: When I moved to Scotland from Germany last year I was a bit confused because people kept calling their "dinner" "tea" which I associated with "tea time" so something you would eat between lunch and dinner and the explanation I´ve got was that "tea" is a dinner that is small or just really quickly made and a "dinner" is a dinner that takes a while where you sometimes have multiple options, that was more time-intensive so sth. you would eat when you have guests for example...
I love this video! It made me miss Scotland so much. I am an American but lived in Glasgow for uni for over a year. I thought I’d share what I heard in regard to these from Scottish friends or just generally while living in Glasgow: Dressing gown Remote I mostly heard lunch and dinner but I had heard dinner and tea a few times, mostly from older people? Scon, as in prawn, every time I heard fizzy juice more than just juice, unless it was Irn Bru and then they just called it Irn Bru Glasgow, hands down. But I’m biased. Never heard of chappy, it never came up in conversation Salt and vinegar, though I feel like most people who’d go to a chippy would get curry sauce with their chips so I’m not sure where that fits it? When I went to a chippy I got curry a few times but mostly just salt I always heard square sausage Tatties, especially with tattie scon and haggis neeps and tatties
I’m from east Texas I would call toties “taters” I would call my dinner in the evening “supper” a biscuit is a cookie, the remote is the “thing-a-majig” or “do-Hicky” a piece and ham is a “Samich”. In Texas they ask you “what kind of coke do you want” 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm from Massachusetts. My father' parents were from Glasgow but he grew up near Syracuse, NY; my mother grew up in New York City; and they both called it a bathrobe, as do I. But my wife, whose parents were Canadian, calls it a housecoat. Took me a while when we were first living together to figure out what she meant. The TV controller is a remote or a clicker, interchangeably. We eat lunch at midday and dinner in the evening. I rhyme scone with dawn, as I learned from father and grandfather, but other people look at me funny and sometimes don't even know what I mean. Carbonated drinks are usually soda around here, but some old timers still call them tonic, and when I was i kid in central-western NY it was pop, pronounced with a very broad o that almost rhymed with tap. You will also sometimes hear them combined: soda pop. Juice only comes from fruits or vegetables. Glasgow, because it's where my family is from. (Well, actually Kilchrenan, if you go back far enough.) We don't have chippies, but we have fish and chips (which is the only time you'll hear them called chips, otherwise they're always french fries). The standard condiment for fried fish is tartar sauce, which is mayonnaise mixed with chopped onions, pickles, capers, and lemon juice (which is squeezed from a lemon!). Many restaurants do have malt vinegar available in case someone asks for it, though. Sausage comes in either links or patties. Potatoes are usually just potatoes, although if you call them spuds or taters people know what you mean. If you call them tatties nobody will know what you are talking about.
For the first item, I use all 3 terms. My mum was from Australia, so more British, and it was dressing gown. My daddy was from Georgia, so it was a housecoat or a bathrobe. I can't believe people would fight over that. Ain't no cause to fight like that. It's cold. Just go grab your housecoat out the chifferobe and put it on. The remote is usually just the clicker.
I am not too far from you but the other side of the Erskine Bridge. House Coat, buttons, lunch and dinner, scone like prawn, juice if flat ginger if fizzy not from Glasgow, love both but Glasgow as like you live very near plus had so much fun there in my youth, chap the door and run away, Salt and Vinegar though where I grew up you could get brown or red sauce, I'm veggie so veggie sausage supper or pizza crunch sausage, square sausage, tottie scone. My favourite is roasted/ toasted cheese. I say toasted but people from Lanarkshire call it roasted!
In America (east coast) bathrobe but I have heard house coat from older people, remote but I have heard clicker, scone rhymes with phone, breakfast lunch dinner but I have heard breakfast dinner supper, liquid squeezed from fruit is the only juice, doing dong ditch or ring and run, sausage comes in links or patties (patties are like your squares but round), potatoes or taters. 😁
In Maryland, USA 🇺🇸......we call the knock and run, “ding dong dash”......in more northern States, I’ve heard it called something that I can’t write publicly.
@@maxuniverse6002 I had the honor and pleasure of enjoying your wonderful Province; Montreal, Quebec City and hiking/camping/horseback riding in the backcountry!
It’s a dressing gown. But my partners family call it a house coat. Haha! I call it buttons or remote haha! My little boy asks me why I call it that... I call dinner, dinner or tea, but lunch is lunch. Depends if you talking about a potato scone or a scone with like jam? From Glasgow too, I say juice for everything but if your having irn bru it’s ginger haha or ginger beer is just ginger. Also if your going out on the town definitely Glasgow, but I’ve never been out in Edinburgh. And it’s called chappy. Salt and vinegar. Also pizza crunch is the best. And it’s square sausages. But then what do you call the circled square sausages? Like it’s the same as square sausage but it’s a circle. And it’s tatties.
Midwestern Canadian take! Bathrobe, clicker, lunch+supper, scone (like phone), juice could be anything that's like.. fruit based? and then fizzy drinks are "pop"! I just moved to Scotland a month ago and have only lived in Edinburgh so I can't comment on Glasgow at all. Ding dong ditch, salt and vinegar (have yet to try fish +chips here yet!), links for sausage (don't know if we have square at home?)
I'm from Louisville, KY in the US which is sort of Midwest, sort of South (it depends on your perspective). I call a remote a remote, but back many years ago I've heard people call it a clicker. I haven't heard that in many years though. I say lunch and dinner but I know a lot of older people that say supper which could be either. I say scone to rhyme with phone but it still doesn't sound like the way you say it. ;) Here in the states the drink question is very regional. From where I live they're all Cokes. In some parts of the US it's all called pop. Other places it's called soda, or soda pop but most people will understand soft drinks. There's even an in-depth map online someone made that goes down to every county in every state to see their preference. Juice is only something we'd mainly call fruit juices. Out in rural areas potatoes are commonly referred to as taters.
In Cincinnati our lives at is the same, except generic soft drinks are just pop. On that map, as soon as you get into Cincinnati's surrounding rural Kentucky counties, it's Coke, and in Cleveland it's pop. I've never heard "taters" except on TV, or for Ore-Ida brand "Tater Tots", but everyone here knows what it means.
