One of the most funny differences is fanny/fannie which I think Americans use as a slang word for ass.Over here it's the most common used word for vagina,lol.

We don't call cookies biscuits though... we call them cookies. :/

Each to their own really. It would be amusing to see you do a vid attempting a yourkshire accent, I'm a pro at that one!

@ImaZombeh ok mate no worries just wanted to share my opinion and let you know that there variation and i live at the bottom end of England (aka cornwall) and were a bit behind on development lol :)

@MrJoystickid Thanks mate :D I personally just say "shoes." maybe because i'm lame. but most people over here call them "kicks." :P
People get so hyped up over these types of videos, though. I mean, when I say the differences, it's not referring to ALL of the uk, just a majority of the people.. everywhere you go, people are going to have different slang and different ways of saying things.

@Abii290 Thanks! :D
we call cookies, cookies and at McDonald's we'd say chips O.o and gas is fuel and cell phone would be phone, bathroom is toilet, slang words for money is cash or quid and we put plaster on walls too its just another meaning for the word... sorry to critisise mate.

@SammiBabezSweet Not at all. However, you shouldn't limit it to just your part of the country, or the words that you use. I have many friends in the UK who have told me that they order "french fries" at a McDonald's because it's an "american" food. And most of theme use petrol, mobile, and loo. It all depends on who you are/where you're from.
