  30. Zonked — Completely exhausted.Our next post will cover British slang terms that Americans find confusing. Until then, here are some of our favorite American slang words:
  31. Pants — CLOTHING RETAILERS TAKE NOTE: The Brits say ‘trousers’ …The American default word for the article of clothing that covers the legs and pelvic region seems pretty general and innocuous to English speakers in the U.S. To the actual English, however, ‘pants’ is the primary word they use for ‘underwear.’ And while American cinema and television typically writes the word ‘knickers’ for underwear into the vocabulary of British characters—that’s probably just for comedic effect since ‘pants’ wouldn’t induce any response—the most common British word for underwear really is ‘pants.’ Americans tend not to notice how often they refer to their so-called pants until someone from the U.K. joins their ranks. Once that happens they begin to notice restrained snickering every time ‘pants’ are referenced in a polite conversation.
  32. For the birds — Imagine how this phrase must sound to someone who doesn’t understand that it refers to something that is substandard in some respect. Is it a bag of seeds or some kind of yard ornament reference? The Brits sometimes use the word ‘bird,’ to refer to women, in the same way Americans use ‘chicks.’ So, maybe it comes off like reference to girlishness. Who knows?
  33. Bought the farm — ”I didn’t know he wanted to move to the country,” is how a British person might respond to hearing this phrase. At this point ‘bought the farm,’ is a general reference to untimely death. However, the phrase originates from WWII-era military accidents involving unreliable aircraft crashing into rural European countryside properties resulting in damages for which the U.S. government was responsible to pay, thereby, ‘buying the farm,’ so to speak.
  34. Jonesing — To want, crave, or desire something intensely, and its noun form, ‘joneser,’ (a person who wants or craves something intensely), isn’t always apparent even to Americans. The Oxford Dictionary associates this word’s slang usage with Jones Alley in Manhattan, a haven for drug addicts in the 1960s. The unsavory drug culture connotations continue today. However the definition of ‘joneser,’ has been broadened among some circles to include describing a person whose character is found wanting, i.e. lacking, as opposed to someone who simply wants something desperately.
  35. keeping up with a jones' - keeping up with society norms having the best of the best
  36. Take a raincheck — This is an Americanism that dates back to the 1880s and references the practice of giving baseball game ticketholders a pass to a game that must be rescheduled due to weather. It’s commonly used as a metaphor for postponing or rescheduling a meeting between people to some later date that is more convenient.
  37. Spill the Beans — British English speakers might pick up on the use of the word ‘spill,’ as a metaphor for divulging. But ‘spill the beans,’ might be obscure enough for them to assume a more specific connotation, which they are not aware of. Needless to say, ‘spill the beans,’ is an American idiom for divulging secret information that dates back to the very early 1900s.
  38. Shoot the breeze — An idiomatic phrase for killing time with idle chit-chat, ‘shoot the breeze probably stems from old-west imagery, either cinematic or anecdotal in origin, in which men with nothing but time and ammunition on their hands shot their guns at no particular target.  
  39. John Hancock — Although obscure associative references are a favorite form of Cockney slang, it’s unlikely that an English person would have any idea who John Hancock was. The reference would escape them. The name John Hancock became synonymous with a person’s signature because his was one of the more flamboyant signatures on The Declaration of Independence.  
  40. Monday morning quarterback — Because quarterback is an on-field leadership position played in American football, which the British have no interest in, and because Monday morning references the fact that most NFL games take place on Sundays, this is a doubly obscure metaphor. While American’s understand that the phrase references the practice of criticizing something after-fact-with the advantage of hindsight, an English person would find this phrase totally meaningless.
  41. Ride Shotgun — Another phrase taken from Old-West folklore, riding shotgun is a statement of both position and status—a sort of second-in-command support position who works from a preferential vantage. The imagery invoked by the phrase comes from stagecoaches, specifically the person who rode in the seat next to the driver whose job was to fend off any would-be bandits with a shotgun.
  42. Drive up the wall - to get massively annoyed. To the point where you can't be around the person. Usually said before you storm out of the room

    • General
    English can students attend college (end of High School for Americans) at ages 16-18 where they gain a specialisation in a field. Or they can choose to stay at school for 'Sixth Form' and complete two years gaining 'A Level' qualifications in different subjects. College is similar to when American students have to do the 2 years of generals during their freshman and sophomore years. Americans may be in University longer then English Universities. English Uni's tend to have a much more specialised feel to it. There also seems to be more a creativity outlook on classes in English Universities vs the more of a textbook teaching in the US. You don't call university, college in the UK. It is not as interchangeable as in the US. Transversing from University to University is not that common or changing majors in the UK. Also Community and Technical colleges are not a big thing. The levels you are in University differ. UK = 1st year, 2nd year, and 3rd year. US = freshmen, sophomore, junior, senior, (super senior). It has become more common in the US to finish a bachelors degree in 4-5years

    • Common grocery stores in the UK; Morrison's, Tesco (Tesco Express), ASDA, Sainsbury's, Spar, M&S...

    Common clothing stores are Primark (good for cheap clothes (male, female, and children), shoes, accessories, makeup, bathroom and bedroom decor) ... They have many stores you would see in America; H&M, Gap, American Apparel,
    (clothes do tend to run smaller here. The sizes are also different in both clothing and shoes... http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/cloth-sizing-d_221.html

    Wilko's (love) is common to a very small walmart you can get all the basics there. Usually not much for food besides snacks, pop and milk. 

    Poundland - is a dollar store where everything is legit a pound. Sometimes you can 2 things for a pound

    Netflix does not offer the same shows in the UK as the US even the netflix originals aren't the same. 

    Hulu is not a thing in the UK.

    Brits LOVE to talk politics and also love to make comments about University, "I pay £9,000 a year for this?!" Yes, it is a lot of money how ever in the US it is VERY rare that you can go to a University for less than $12,000. 

    Brits drive on the left side of the road?? WEIRD.
