culture differance between UK and USA?

[Purple]

wat do u guys think of the culture differance between the USA and the UK? normally thought of as similiar countries I think we are both so different and see little similiarites other than language and the growing americanism in the UK society.


i've been to america once and everything was super sized and no one really drank breakfast tea, the milk tasted funny and everyone was rly talkative and anyone would be up to doing some entertainment for fun etcetc,

us brits seem more close grouped in comparison haha

(obvsssss im not trying to offend anyone it was awesome there this is just what i saw in my experiance in disneyworld/florida)

i think its fuckin massive

i cant even pinpoint what it is exactly though, i just feel a massive difference. last time i was in america i was only 3 so i dont remember much from it, but even just talking to americans online is enough for me to notice a difference. im a little worried for when i plan to go to america now because im so used to scotland and its sort of crass standoffish ways. plus americans hate the word 'cunt' which is how i refer to everyone!!!!! AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not to mention nobody in america can understand me... i have to heavily edit how i speak if i wanna talk to people on skype lmfao.


edit: plus their tea is fucking weird. yall have ice tea? with no milk? you boil your tea on stoves and shit? loose leaves? fuck off.

Mothership does some weird stuff us aussies don't understand like eating a pie with knife and fork! We are like cave man here in Aussieland just using hands and jamming sauce into the middle of it!!!

I'll stick to the iced coffee premade thanks.

Americans are incredibly informal in how they speak, and a lot more open (what UK may often times take as TMI). The weird thing is that regions in America themselves are really really really really reallllllllllllllllllllllllly different, the country itself can be considered like 4/5 countries - northeast, south, midwest, west coast, and Texas (kinda jg) (yea I realize that there are other sub regions besides that, but I think that the major cultural differences are represented in these four). Overall I guess you could say that Americans are less pluralistic, each and every one thinks that their opinion absolutely matters (often times more than anyone else's). Americans also feel like they DESERVE to be catered to because of the "customer is always right" mentality that commercialism has really driven into our mindset. You will see Americans behave DEPLORABLY in public places such as restaurants or stores in order to get a discount, get something free, or just to "make a point." Also, Americans can be quite hostile, and do not handle their liquor as well as Europeans (primarily English, Irish, Scottish).

If you REALLY want a treat, go to a dennys/ihop on a friday/saturday night around 2-4 am - you legit see fights, cops are often on premises (not during day). You should youtube "dennys fight" or "ihop fight" - there is a particularly entertaining one from Oakland: (you need an account to see links).

There are so many differences that I can't even begin to list them all, but the one thing that stands out to me when I think about it is nicknames. Harry becomes Hazza, Karen becomes Kazza, Julia becomes Jules, Margaret becomes Mags. Americans don't do this. I'm honestly not quite sure how nicknames work in America (what the differences are, etc), but American reactions to nicknaming customs in the UK and Australia make it clear that they don't work like that.

Found an article about it, too, while browsing. Language is fascinating. (you need an account to see links)

All lolz aside I really am curious as to how different milk tastes overseas now. I'm a legit milk connoisseur.
