Top Ten Ways/Phrases for a British Person to Confuse an American

A lot of people say the British get confused easily. Well let's see how many of these you'll understand!

The Top Ten

1 Offer them a Crumpet

I'm an American and I understand most of these things.

2 Arrange to meet them outside Tesco's

This sounds like Taco Bell but British version. No offense.

3 Pull over next to them in a black taxi

4 When you pull over, pull over in the car park

The parking lot? A parking space?

5 Get out a paper and pencil and ask for a rubber

I actually know what the British kind of rubber is since I'm friends with some Brits on here.

"Why are you scribbling over your answer? You should've used a rubber"

6 Go down the Chippy

7 Offer to go and smoke a fag

Although I'm not British, I do know that a fag is a cigarette. I spend too much time online...

The meaning of "fag" that I know just makes this sound weird.

8 Put the shopping in the boot of the car

9 Use the metric system

I sorta kinda maybe know the metric system.Celsius, however, confuses the heck out of me.

Plenty of us use the Metric system, it's simple

10 Put on a wooly jumper

The Contenders

11 Offer them a Full English

12 Call the fuzz on them

We know that one pretty well.

13 Put on trackies

14 Refer to the times when you were in primary school

I would understand the last 2. Primary school is like elementary school and secondary school is like middle and high school. But I don't get the rest of the items.

I understand this one and ten. Mainly because that is how they are reffeered to in Mexico.

15 Tell them to take the lift

16 Stuff a flannel in their mouth

17 Perform the full monty and kiss each other's arses

This is just stupid. Who added this?

18 Refer to the times when you were in secondary school

19 Report them to the coppers
