Why are all the “british” people bashing on “omg we dont say that”. Why are ya’ll using ‘we’ as if the entire country does not say any of these words. You dont say them, probably as modern culture often uses American words thus you have picked up that dialect. Im from the Black Country and we say all of this. Besides, the uk has many accents and phrases. Its not just the stereotypical londoners. There’s the geordie accents, the welsh, the essex, the brummies. Each with their own language for say

[marisalol]

I live in the uk and we don't say pudding that often, trust me, we normally say dessert

[DavidArchie-eiym]

Australia and New Zealand use British English

[mauroluiz]

Pudding or sobremesa;
Dessert or sobremesa.

[liyonson]

This is probably made by a stereotypical American.

[finforthewin]

I call them cupcakes in the uk and I say sprinkles and dessert

[brahnseer]

Why is your introductory map of England and Wales called the UK?

[spookylion]

Fairy cake? I'm british and have never heard that. we call them cupcakes too

[dominicstower]

I’m British and we don’t say half of those things

[srbeams]

i’m form the Uk I do not call a cupcake a fair cake there’s cakes called a fairy cakes

[sueida]

Some people says "I never heard that" I think they should not mind it because some people using these words even though they do not use. May be you never used fairy cake but there are people who uses these words after all.
P.S: I am neither American or British

[LittleWookieeUK]
