Tertiary! Well, you asked me to subscribe, hit the thumbs up, and list my favorite word here in the comments. I don't know if 'tertiary' is really my favorite word. But I've been weirdly obsessed with it recently. I think I just like saying it. It just feels good. "Tertiary", … "tershiaaaarrry", …. "tuuuuurshiaaaaaareeeeeeeeeee"!
Celebrating mother´s and father´s day is soemthing so old I always thought it is an swedish invention. But valentines day is new here. But then again we have forigniers find "weird" or exotic. Like celebrating St Lucia. An tradition that dates back to the pagen times. We don´t restaurants that offers doggy bag. But it would be nice if they had it. As for chasing around and keeping an extra yey on your kid, that want happen here. And air condition in our climate? Forget it. But what is popular her is the US fast food culture. But we prefer our own burgers instead of McDonalds.
Tipping is starting (early) to go away and now we are going to tip more in Europe. Noooo.
In the U.S., servers make good money with tips!! The hourly wage is around minimum or a bit above!! It's a lie that waiters and waitresses don't make good money, in general!!
You should check out Humble Pie. Listen to 30 Days in the Hole, Black Coffee, I Don't Need No Doctor
It's confusing here as well because some places has the ground floor as the main floor where others have it as the first floor the one you walk in on because they have a ground floor that also has an off-street entrance. So it can even be confusing here in America
Avacado… you did say safe word right?
I agree people don't care about flashy stuff. I cannot speak to the rest of my nation. I've never cared and it seems the rest are laying back as well
Ice in drinks is one thing but when they fill 3/4 of the cup with crushed ice, you just don't get any drink and it's a complete ripoff.
Poppycock or Flibbertigibbet for my favorite word(s)!
Ice for the algorithm
You’re right! Brits hate cooking because their food terrible! I did enjoy Steak and Kidney pie and Shepherd’s Pie. But I had problems with Black Pudding…
On floor names: I once heard someone say that it's the ground floor because you're on the ground. No, I'm in a building on the first floor. If I walk outside the building then I'm on the ground.
Your boobs are getting bigger in your old age
I believe the government imposed cap on how cold companies can make their shops is not to save them money, but instead to prevent overindulgence, that is bad for the environment and wasteful. You mentioned baby showers but not bridal showers. Back in the day bridal showers were some thing that happened in the US and not bachelorette parties. Well, many years ago, my cousin married a girl from Corsica, France. She had never heard of this concept before so when my aunt and female cousins mentioned to her that they were going to give her a bridal shower, they were going to throw for her she kinda went into a panic. Because she was thinking it was gonna be like an actual shower, and she was in a slight panic attack, thinking that she was gonna have to have to get naked with all these other women and that they were going to wash her! She fretted for several days before she found out what it actually meant to have a bridal shower. Needless to say much relief and laughter followed. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Personally, I believe for the online flexing, at the we're all going to be dead and meet our maker… is he going to be impressed you made other people feel lesser than you because of your stuff? I have some nice stuff, but there's no upside to showing it off unless you have a weak level of self worth or need an ego boost.
Considering that there are more people of Irish lineage in the USA than in Ireland itself… and this is repeated in many of the peoples who have made up the USA (and continue to make it).
Many of the American cultural phenomena that have become ubiquitous world-wide have their background in immigrant or enslaved cultural communities of the past.
Gender reveals are just dumb. Parents and grandparents are the ones who care. We always just told them. Two of my baby showers were after my kiddos were born (my first kiddo arrived early) and the last one was before. I will say, having that many baby showers is crazy to me. Friends asked and wanted to throw them for us but in general, I’m up for one shower haha. Yes, holidays are becoming more secular. However, if you are religious you can put as much tradition into them as you want. My family is a religious family and we do put in tradition (my husband is a pastor). I also find newer holidays silly. However, I do celebrate my mom and I did when my dad was alive and now I celebrate my step dad on the parent days. 🤷♀️ it does get to be a lot!
Wish universal healthcare would get adopted in the US.
It amazes me that Europe lasted this long with out air conditioning.
Lol. Doggy bag is such an old person term. Just ask for a box
Babyshowers. Yeah pregnancies can go wrong. But if you're pretty far into the pregnancy to the point where you're buying things having a babyshower helps a lot. Gender reveals …. I mean if you want to. I don't think most people really care lol
I found the perfect way of avoiding baby showers and gender reveals…I never had kids and I got divorced. 😳😁
It takes The Village People to raise a child.
This was super interesting – thank you!
Glad to hear about the a/c thing. But keeping a store at 27 C or 80F is rather warm. If you have a/c, use the heck out of it! Icicles from the ceiling!!
They aren't even called doggie bags anymore in US. Just ask for "to-go box".
Popeyes, the only fast food I eat.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Ice is getting popular in Europe because your summers are much hotter now.
Thanks for the original content once more, Diane.
Diane, I can see the utility of baby showers in providing first-time parents with things they might not have thought about or, possibly, afford. Granted, some gifts aren't very useful, but things like blankets and diapers are always appreciated, I think. If one can discern discretely that the couple doesn't have a crib or a car seat, several people can go in on a larger gift. "Corporate holidays" is a great term I hadn't heard. Thank you for that one. Apropos of which, there's an old "Peanuts" cartoon in which Linus correctly predicts that when Lucy inquires of their mother why there isn't a Children's Day since there's a Mother's Day and a Father's Day (and even Grandparent's Day now, I think), their mother replies with understated sarcasm, "Every day is children's day." You were obviously raised to consider other people, a quality that doesn't seem to be much applied in the U.S. today. For example, we were always encouraged to let the other person go first in whatever it was as a matter of politeness, even, for example, at your own birthday party. In the parlance, "You're good people."
Gift-giving — Dude, if I'm giving you a thing, I want to see your reaction when you see it! I'm excited to give you this thing I think you'll love, and I don't want an offhand, yeah cool, a few days later. I want to watch your eyes widen in wonder.
Showing off your "Stuff" (nice, expensive things. My 2023 Camaro (pictured) that's all for me, a regular Joe.. There is a Bruno Mars song where he literally does that in the opening of the song (His Mansion, pool and hot tub.) It really comes off like, "Look at me." We already know you are loaded, Bruno.
I like the word Pandemonium
