  What is up with the "filter" on this web site. c.o.c.k is not a swear word, though in this context it's dubious. Prude.

  Actually, the British equivalent to appetizer is... appetiser/starter. Spelling matters ;). I typically hear restrooms referred to more as the loo than anything by my Brit friends. Baking pans = tins, rather than pan, depending on the person. Honestly, English and American English have a prime commonality(and let's face it, with American English being slaughtered these days, there are fewer commonalities these days) - a lot of the terms change depending on where in the respective country you live. E.g. - Soda vs Pop in the various parts of the US(and hell in some portions of the country, any cola is referred to as a Coke). Regardless; that's a failed student for sure. Stereotypes do not an A grade make. Students like him/her make me wish it were constitutionally legal to murder an idiot for the pure and simple fact they're becoming a waste of oxygen. Side note - ironic: Tea with jam for my captcha.

  I guess that´s from an EFL class regarding BE and AE differences

• thumb_up thumb_down +34

  I didn't know I was laying on a bed shit!

• thumb_up thumb_down +33

  one more thing, im a british chef... to broil is the same worldwide, it is a cooking term that is a standard thing, similar to how physisists have standard notation, the actual definition of broiling something is cooking something with any form of intense heat, and in the cases of meat, fish and poultry it is cooked in its own juices, so not just grill it can mean roast, grill, bake or fry depending on what a recipie states and what ingredients you are cooking... supprisingly it seems that it is only in america i have heard people saying that broiling is grilling..... and broiled bread.... look mate its called fucking toast, its simple

• thumb_up thumb_down +32

  do they have that for black people too?

• thumb_up thumb_down +31

  cock cock cock

• thumb_up thumb_down +28

  In order; toilet/loo, blender, balcony, sheet, baking tray, grill, busy, starter. I do have to say though, saying that you have to use the 'comfort room' sounds nicer than saying that you have to use the 'toilet/loo'!

• thumb_up thumb_down +26

  Ha! bed****!

• thumb_up thumb_down +26

  lol bed ****

• thumb_up thumb_down +25

  WTF a baking pan, do you mean a cookie sheet?

• thumb_up thumb_down +21

  WTF- we say busy as well !

• thumb_up thumb_down +15

  I'd rather say this is a test in a german school, I am from Canada but I've been living in Germany for 14 years and our teacher actually planned multiple tests like this, and hence the fact that tests like this consist out of a whole lot of false information I told the teacher that I felt offended and that I think that the test is basically a compilation of stereotypical thoughts about different english accents and dialects. Well: It kind of worked, he canceled the test.

  Mostly the same in Brit-speak. Unless "balcony" means the type of brassier. As Pam Ayres said - I tried one of those push-up bras once, but when I leaned forwards the goods, so to speak, fell of the shelf.

• thumb_up thumb_down +13

  To broil = hard C0CK hahahah

• thumb_up thumb_down +12

  "oh dear lord, this is what america really thinks of us brits" Not really, this student is a victim of our public schools "dumbing down" policy.

• thumb_up thumb_down +11

  I'm pretty sure this person is a Filipino because no one else really calls a restroom, a comfort room, or a bedspread, a bed shit (bed sheet... LOL) like Filipinos do. It's what my mom says and she's a Filipina. No offense.

• thumb_up thumb_down +11
