Things British People Say (Part Two)

Here are more things that British people say!!! Sorry if any of these are repeat! I don't think they are but who knows.

• Dodgems = Bumper Cars
• Crumpet = this thing that is KIND OF like an english muffin but not really, and is made differently and isn't flaky. English muffins don't really exist here. 
• crimbo = christmas
• biscuit = cookie. regular american flaky biscuits don't exist here.
• stag do = bachelor party
• hen party = bachelorette party
• drink driving = drunk driving
• fortnight = 2 weeks
• plaster = bandaid
• diary = calendar
• take away = take out
• rocket = Arugula, I think
• inverted commas = quotation marks. This one bothers me. They are not inverted commas in any way shape or form. Not only do they look different on the keyboard but a comma is singular and only goes one direction. That is why they have their own name, because they are nothing like inverted commas.

Other things:

Ranch dressing is not a thing here. Anywhere. Which means they are really missing out on "Ranch and chips" and by chips I mean fries :)

Flapjacks. Delicious little oat bar thingies. I could eat them always and forever if they are made right. The ones from Graze are especially delicious (note: you can get those from US Graze I believe).

The "V Hand Symbol," basically meaning a peace sign but palm facing you, is an insult to some people. I think that's going out of style but it's basically like "screw you."
