Do YOU know these British slang phrases? MailOnline tests Americans on popular UK terms (and the results are disastrous!)

There are a lot of quirky differences between British and American terms, whether you say ‘holiday’ or ‘holiday’, or ‘trash’ or ‘nonsense’ – and there are several slang words on both sides of the pond.

MailOnline reporter Alicia Watts took to the streets of New York to put our transatlantic neighbors to the test with popular British expressions.

Americans were left baffled after being quizzed about everyday words used by British people – including ‘brolly’, ‘fit’, ‘out on the pull’, ‘full of beans’ and ‘snog’.

One man wrongly thought the term snog meant ‘cleaning up your shows’, while another woman wrongly guessed that ‘full of beans’ meant ‘full of s****’.

Snog actually means kissing and ‘full of beans’ suggests that the person you’re talking about has a lot of energy.

Elsewhere, another person in the US thought that ‘Bob is your uncle’ (implying ‘it’s done’ or ‘there you have it’) meant you can ‘have it how you want it’, while one asked if it was ‘ was friendship-related’. ‘.

Others thought brolly meant ‘muscular’ or ‘built’, rather than umbrella, while some thought ‘give me a tinkle on the blower’ was a ‘kiss on the cheek’ or ‘watering flowers’. Instead, the funny saying means you should call someone.

When asked what fit means, one person said ‘yo, that’s cool, that’s fire’, while another added: ‘handsome’.

Then reporter Alicia asked what “pulling out” means and surprisingly all the Americans were right, with many saying “probably pulling a girl.”

It comes after a man from Britain was left baffled after being questioned about the words people from the United States used during a language podcast.

English teacher Sam from Manchester, co-host of The Bridging Borders Podcast, was tested on simpler terms such as ‘extra’ and on harder regional phrases.

Fellow host Veronika Mark – a Russian translator and content creator – started the episode, which was uploaded to YouTube in February and racked up 2,000 views, with “bussin.”

“I definitely heard this,” Sam said weakly. “But I’ll have to wait until the verdict.”

One man thought the term kiss was meant to ‘clean up your shows’, while another woman guessed ‘full of beans’ meant ‘full of s****’

Elsewhere, another American person thought ‘Bob is your uncle’ meant you can ‘have it how you want it’, while another asked if it was ‘friendship related’.

However, he has successfully deduced that it is a widely used term, especially used for food. However, Veronika added that “anything is possible” because it simply implies that something is “great” or “really good.”

Then Sam easily guessed that ‘amped’ meant ‘excited’ or ‘hyped’. “I think that makes more sense, because it’s an amplifier,” he told Veronika. However, he stumbled a bit over the word ‘extra’.

“Over the top,” he suggested. “As if… you’re giving too much energy or focus to something.”

“Not exactly,” Veronika replied. “Well, I think you were very close. It means dramatic, like attracting attention.” Her next slang word was “salt.”

“I know this one,” Sam replied. ‘People say this in Britain too. It’s like you’re irritated, but it’s just a little more than irritated.’ The pair also concluded that it means you’re “a bit childish.”
