Michael Bisping, the UFC fighter is also from Manchester and they had to subtitle most of what he was saying on The Ultimate Fighter. He was the captain of the UK fighters.

TV shows don’t even contain that much slang or ambiguity, because they have to appeal to a broad audience. if you want to learn more about slang and regionalisms you should listen to daily conversations, radio shows, etc.
also another reason americans arent familiar with british slang is b/c british culture is not widespread in america like american culture is widespread in britain.

but you wouldn’t know about that, because all you know about other countries is TV shows and movies.

The examples were completely irrelevant, it was just to display the utter ease of seperation.
It’s not hard at all.
We recieve all US shows over here packed with US slang, references and dialect and we have no problem so it should be the same for you.
We’re both speaking English, we have very similar cultures. It’s not hard.

uh, you gave bad examples… sweets and curb mean candy and sidewalk in the US too. its the words that have significant (and potentially humorous ) differences that lead to misunderstandings. and that doesnt include the US-UK differences in slang words and idioms. US and UK are two countries divided by one language. search for the youtube video with ellen degeneres and hugh laurie comparing american and british slang.

Yeah but I’m not from Manchester, his dialect is not my dialect, I’m technically from a different country to him (Wales)… Although the UK.
And obviously I’ve been exposed to this dialect etc. but so what, you’re right, stuff like “kicked me height” is a bit silly but it’s not hard to work out lol.
KICK(ed) ME(my) HEIGHT… I don’t see what’s hard about it regardless of your culture. As long as you know English you’re good.

Lmao yes I am aware of that too. It is as straight forward, it’s pretty fucking easy.
Sidewalk in US = Curb in UK.
Candy in US = Sweets in UK.
Woow, might difficult. It’s only hard if you’re culturally ignorant.

The animated version of Ricky looks exactly like Fred Flinstone.

yeah but come on – its mostly karl – kicked me height, next to nowt on(nothing on), pikelets(i dunno), being “tight”(i can only assume it means unreasonable), our kid (sibling), it goes on and on

another example that is common these days… “fit” in UK means “hot” in US, but “fit” in US means “physically in shape” w/o necessarily meaning “hot.”

pants in UK = underpants in US. there are other examples too, especially w/ slang words. its not as straightforward as you think.
EminemBase
20. Jan, 2010
Yeah but I don’t think that’s exactly hard to work out lol.
How long have the US and UK been trading arts now. The UK are perfectly aware of the US meanings hence why people like Gervais go out of their way and actually use the US terms when on US chat shows. Something you don’t see US people doing, unless mockingly.
Pants in US = Trousers in UK. Wow, hard lol.
