Super funny vid - did anyone get all of them right? I got all the American and none of the British.
 
I saw this before like a year ago so I decided to try again because I learned a lot more British slang since then... still failed.
 
I knew them all except flossing.

Living on an island in between the US and England clearly has taught me much. 😛
 
Got the British ones, and obviously I AM an old fat chick in Boonywonkers Okahoma, because I didn't even recognize the American ones. I thought she was pulling his leg with made up slang.
 
Posting this as I would talk to a friend in real life.

I'm dead common me on the sly like. Thing is right though I would never in a million year say chin wag unless I was taking piss. I have been chuffed to bits but I'm more likely to be dead made up.

I obviously don't talk like this at work but I do enjoy breaking into my mother tongue to shock. Especially when socialising in work circles <3

I also swear a LOT. Seriously I am like a docker, you would have to insert at least 3 fuh words in there to make it completely authentic.

Is being "like a docker" "swearing like sailor"?

Haha, are you from Essex? /end english stereotype. Not that I can talk because I talk pretty much like that!
I got "shawty" and the UK ones, didn't get the US ones.

& I am one of those UKers who does actually say "chin wag" and "chuffed to bits". xD
 
ESSEX?! ESSEX?!! I'm no shandy drinker!

I'm from the North-west, think Coronation Street with a hint of Brookside. Just delightful as you can imagine.
 
Didn't get any of the British ones, and I knew what flossing meant from a rap song. All the other ones I knew too, but I don't use any. I knew what badonkadonk meant because of Trace Adkins! Woot woot for country, we did a skit back in English I (9th grade) to that song! Lol, I still know all the lyrics. Lmfao.

I learned Badonkadonk from "Honky-Tonk Ba-Donk-a-Donk" too!
Knew all the English ones, got none of the American ones. What's wrong with Essex? 😀

Some of my best friends are from Essex, and they're not at all stereotypical, but esSEX girls do make me laugh. Orange skin and white stillettoes and platinum blonde hair, oh yeah!
Oh God, the only one I got was Ba-Donkadonk! I would say that's more because I'm old, but seriously, Hugh Laurie & Ellen Degeneres are older than me, so I have no excuse. I hide my head in shame. 😉
