Either "couch" or "sofa" can be used in US 🇺🇲, UK 🇬🇧 and Canada 🇨🇦, but also in other countries like Australia 🇭🇲 or New Zealand 🇳🇿

In the midwest (Indiana and surrounding states in the 70s, 80's, and 90's) we used 'hang a Louie' (left), 'hang a Ralph' (right), or just plain 'Sam' (for straight). Also as mentioned below we had ones for U-Turns that were 'flip a 'u-ie' or 'flip a bitch'. And of course if anyone ever said to go 'straight', everyone would always chime in with 'always go forward; never go straight!'

3:05 - In the States, I call that a couch. I sometimes use "sofa." My grandma used to call it a Davenport (which was a common couch brand in the '40s and '50s).

When I grew up in Western Canada in the 60s and Early 70s we called a hoodie a kangaroo sweater, because of the pouch. I also during this time a couch was a chesterfield.

Make more videos with Sydney from Canada, her return was great, she is good representing Canada 🇨🇦

[amychen]

So good to know Sydney is from Saskatchewan as well. I am from Saskatchewan too and proudly graduated from University of Saskatchewan. Love to hear Bunny Hug is mentioned. ❤️❤️❤️

Hang a Larry (turn left) / Hang a Roger (turn right) is Canadian. Or you can say 'hang a left'/'hang a right'. I think the Americans were influenced by this and only have one of the left 'hang a louie', which oddly sounds more Canadian.

in ireland 🇮🇪
-
“50 km an hour”
“beer belly”
“dressing gown”
“hoodie”
“fags” is most common, some say cigarette
“couch” is most popular, i would say “setee”
“turn right”/“right hand turn”

[mngbennett]

Another term for the dressing gown in Canada would be a Bath Robe.

Everyone I know in Ireland says "sofa" but my father is from Northern Ireland and is the only person I know who says "settee". Growing up, I always found it weird that he had his own words for some things xD

[mariettehamel]

I am french canadian and I love comparing your words with ours... like a cigarette: we would say a "clope" or a mégot or a cig... and the dressing gown is a bedroom gown/dress ... a sofa is a sofa here too...

in ireland we use kilometers but i go by miles as a form of habit

[Somebodyuprobsknow]

The universal language of: I gotta piss

[maxpion]

Love how I’m from Canada and we don’t use half of the words the Canadian girl used 😂

[stuartmacdonald]

The Term Darts for cigarettes comes from "Lung Darts" I first heard the term in the Canadian Military, Click or Klick or K for kilometers is a term that I believe came from the Canadian Military (by way of American Vietnam War moves) the American Military uses Kilometers (or klicks) to measure distance.

[ParcoLee]

I still remember in Hong Kong, there used to also use miles and mph on all roads which following their suzerain UK (GB Empire before), until 1970's the British HK govt decided changing all miles and mph to kilometers and km/hr. But those all were happened before my birth so I have no idea how did that get on. Well, surprised that Chesterfield seems kind of near my home! And, yes, I also heard the word "hang" seems quite common to mean something related to "traveling" in North America, such like "hang out", "hang around", "hang about", "hang a Louie" (for left) and "hang a Ralph" (for right).

[ShizuruNakatsu]

Ireland uses both dressing gown *and* house coat. My parents have them and they call them house coats.
