Top Comments of this video!! :3
I'm American and have been all over the states and I have never heard a store that only sells alcohol called a ABC Store. This type of store is called a liquor store lol. Also what Vanessa calls a tractor trailer is a semi truck or just semi for short. I agree with you Lucy on the woods vs forest! Lastly, in America a duvet is a type of comforter that has a removable cover. So interesting how English is different around the world!

A dooner in Australia is - called Doona because it is usually a simple quilt or cotton bag that is filled with goose or duck down (the soft feathers) - down became doon - 'dooner' & then placed into a removable cotton casing. U put it straight onto your bed with just an undersheet & your pillow. No blankets, nothing else. A comforter is usually a quilt that can also be filled with down but it tends to have quilted stitching on it & doesn't get a cover placed over it & is used as a top bedspread.

Learned some British English when I grew upโฆevery time when I want to say โside walkโ, pavement came into my head but then when the word is at my mouth, it feels weird and I always second guess. Some other good ones: rubber/ eraser, torch/ flash light, trash/ garbage.
Biscute was a good one. Took time to absorb that.

Hi Lucy. Thanks for this video - quite interesting. You seemed surprised by some US or AU words although these were quite easy and common words. Now imagine how suprising/difficult this might be for foreigners who learn UK English and talk to an US/AU person or learn US English and come to Europe.
I'm Polish working in Poland and using English for over 25 years now and I struggled quite a lot when started prefessional cooperation with an US company. Vocab they use for business is totally different from what we use in Europe, like deck (PP presentation), regroup (meet again on the same topic), recap (summary) or copy (description of a product). Maybe this will be helpfull for some of your followers. Cheers!
