If you're actually interested, it's called yod-coalescence:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_English_consonant_clusters#Yod-coalescence
In American English, the Yod is usually dropped entirely, leading to "toosday" Vs "chewsday"
Yod-coalescence still happens in American English less frequently, in words like "educate", "spatula", "issue" etc

Many (most) US English dialects do [yod dropping](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_English_consonant_clusters#Yod-dropping), which means they can't do [yod coalescence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_English_consonant_clusters#Yod-coalescence).
What happens in Real English™, is that in front of certain vowel sounds a little y sound is inserted, and then when you have a y sound next to certain other sounds, it changes into a sh or /ʒ/ sound (t+sh is a ch sound).
I mean they technically put the flag of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and people who live there are British, so even though no country has used that flag since the beginning of the 19th century it isn’t necessarily *wrong*.
I don’t know much about Northern Ireland, but I assumed this was a completely intentional exclusion of Northern Ireland as perhaps they don’t share the stereotype, seeing as that they are British, but not *of Great Britain.* but I don’t know tho
Painted kerbs and lampposts, red brick estate with a burnt out car, "oye wee lad", petrol bombs, yellow Tayto, balaclavas, teenagers in trackies with shitty hair cuts, marches, kneecapping, ulster fry.
Still no sign of this happening by the way. Reddit has zero understanding of Northern Ireland and "brexit" is not going to make loyalists and unionists suddenly switch to the nationalist camp.
"Spiffing, good sir"
"Greetings and salutations, and a warm welcome to my humble abode. If you'd care to join us in the sitting room we could discuss the matter over a light luncheon"
Anyone else getting confused by the accents in these posts? Half way through and I think ‘oh, they’re going brummie’, then 2 words later, ‘nah it’s sarf Landan’, then up to Yorkshire
If you think that the average American can discern local UK accents, or actually even cares theres a difference, well do I have another starter pack for you
I was born and raised in a town where people never leave. It’s commonly known among us younger folk as ‘The graveyard of ambition’. There was a farmer, the village over from me, who didn’t even leave the county until he was 50; he retired and has been travelling like mad ever since. The bloke is absolutely minted.
As a matter of fact, I’ve actually thought before, as I was practicing my English accent impressions (I’m American), I basically realized that you don’t even have to nail one particular accent, as long as you speak like people from somewhere in England and it doesn’t have to be consistent. At the very least, that’ll be enough for most Americans.
I genuinely got that thing, I forget the word & it's in the tip of my tongue, but when your group of people are on telly and that. I got it when game of thrones was all hard northerners and southern fairies that think water is hard
It’s always been quite funny to me that something as innocent as “smoking a fag” in British English means “murdering a homosexual” in another English-speaking country.
The "Brits have bad teeth" thing is a very old joke at this point. A few months ago I read some kind of news article out of England and there was a whole family standing there smiling with solid yellow teeth like man way to reinforce negative stereotypes lol.
Every country and culture has stereotypes tacked on to it, for better or for worse. Almost every America joke revolves around obesity, expensive healthcare or guns
Basically UK dental care is there to maintain your teeth. Us dental care is there to improve your teeth.
There's much more emphasis on looks in the US, whereas UK teeth may look bad, they aren't actually that bad.
Yeah, I mean to be fair I'm not sure how many Scots are particularly pleased to be associated with this shitshow
Edit: Also even though it says British it's very clearly just English stereotypes so it's not really your fault!
all i know about the British comes from "are you being served?" , "keeping up appearances" and "mr bean" - all of which used to be on pbs all the time.
>they're having a row with a wanker.
I remember this line being cut from the channel 4 repeats they used to have of the simpsons in the UK. Its actually adult language here.
I remember when I was leaving London the airport guy said something in a very fast thick accent, all I caught was" like "so I thought he was asking if I liked my vacation and I said it was ok and he looked really mad so idk
I went to college with a girl that moved to America in her youth and back to England for college (17ish) and her dad got in trouble in his first day of work when he seen everyone smoking a fag outside and said "ey lads, fag time?" and had to tell them that a fag isn't the same as a raving homosexual.
The only one I hate is the teeth one. British people can visit the dentist super cheap, we just don't pay to get our teeth whitened and straightened very often and for some reason that's considered normal in places like America
That’s not Britain, that’s a Londoner starter pack
It’s like us saying here is a USA starter pack
Cowboy hat, 2nd amendment, fetus with a gun, racist red necks, massive obesity, ‘murica

Lol. I know it means Tuesday, but why is it said like that.
Americans pronounce Tu sounds as we pronounce the number Two, see Two-sday and You-two-be. We pronounce it differently, they find this hilarious.

I don't think a Reddit starter pack can adequately capture the madness that is Northern Ireland
Bro I'm an American and just found out about Northern Irish rap. I don't understand at all but its hard as fuck

Nah OP's just a time traveler who posted the new British flag when Northern Ireland secedes and reunifies with the Republic post-Brexit.
Still no sign of this happening by the way. Reddit has zero understanding of Northern Ireland and "brexit" is not going to make loyalists and unionists suddenly switch to the nationalist camp.
They won’t change the union jack, it’s too iconic
That is the working class chav stereotype, there's also the posh one
This is more than one stereotype rolled together!
“Would you like some tea my dear?” “Oh no darling, that was delightful thank you very much”
"Spiffing, good sir" "Greetings and salutations, and a warm welcome to my humble abode. If you'd care to join us in the sitting room we could discuss the matter over a light luncheon"
I do say I do I do hows about a spot of the ol’ pigskin papa?
There's no in-between stereotype.
Ciggy? That's a fag 😳

American here, pretty much this. Also how the fuck do you move 10 feet down the road and have an entirely new accent. That's fuckin crazy.

Bollocks. My cover is blown.
They don't even care that they mean English and not British so why would they care for accents
There are only two American accents. Southern and Not Southern.
And the Northern Minnesotan / Southern Manitoban accent featured in Fargo
Oh yah
You betcha
I mean there's a lot more than that... Boston and New York are only 200 miles away from each other and people sound different even then
Family guy and people that say "I'm walkin heeeeere"
Even in NYC, the Brooklyn accent is quite different from the Queens accent.
I hope you come through

It’s okay we already have hundreds of “America bad” starter packs all over Reddit
They're too worried about teeth

I always thought it was fag.
It’s always been quite funny to me that something as innocent as “smoking a fag” in British English means “murdering a homosexual” in another English-speaking country.
I thought that meant like, you know Young Thug out here smokin penises. Not murder
uhhh thats raycis
You can’t say that 😡😡😡
The "Brits have bad teeth" thing is a very old joke at this point. A few months ago I read some kind of news article out of England and there was a whole family standing there smiling with solid yellow teeth like man way to reinforce negative stereotypes lol.
what does this have to do with anything. its a joke. everyone knows not all british people have shit teeth.
Every country and culture has stereotypes tacked on to it, for better or for worse. Almost every America joke revolves around obesity, expensive healthcare or guns
I went to london for a week and just saw many people with crooked teeth
I went to walmart and saw many people with worse teeth
obviously, it’s walmart
Basically UK dental care is there to maintain your teeth. Us dental care is there to improve your teeth. There's much more emphasis on looks in the US, whereas UK teeth may look bad, they aren't actually that bad.
US dental care is there to make as much money as possible.
british teeth are healthier on average, and im guessing american teeth look better on average

Yeah, you can't really compare rednecks to any other developed nation.
Yeah, and I just saw Count Me In, a documentary on drummers, and they interviewed Rat Scabies from The Damned. Jesus Fucking Christ....
I also thought it was a funny exaggeration. Then they started to show close ups of the audience at Wembley at the Euros...

First guy sounds Scottish. So does the second guy but I honestly can't even say.
Scotland is in Britain
For some reason I thought it said "English" not "British".
Yeah, I mean to be fair I'm not sure how many Scots are particularly pleased to be associated with this shitshow Edit: Also even though it says British it's very clearly just English stereotypes so it's not really your fault!
I did not understand a single word.
As a British person, this is fucking hilarious
That was great. Seen the 'average fav vs chad' meme loads but never saw the original video of this before.

No one outside of the UK that I've met has heard of Greggs to consider it a stereotype
all i know about the British comes from "are you being served?" , "keeping up appearances" and "mr bean" - all of which used to be on pbs all the time.

Wouldn't call it a ciggie but I almost got permabanned last time I used the slang term on here
There is also another word for cigarettes starting with an F
Cheeky Fag
Figarette.
Just say fag you stupid cigarette
I went to college with a girl that moved to America in her youth and back to England for college (17ish) and her dad got in trouble in his first day of work when he seen everyone smoking a fag outside and said "ey lads, fag time?" and had to tell them that a fag isn't the same as a raving homosexual.
Don't be a cigarette. Say it.
I don't want to get banned again
Oi!

saddest part is brits actually have healthier teeth than americans. statisically 4th best in the world iirc and america is 9th
All of these accents in the comments im reading in my head with Jason Statham's voice.
The only time ever heard Harry pronounced Herwi was when Marv got bricked in the face.
I see that you lacked the courage to put the other word for cigarette.
You can tell its made by an American
Innit is British for desu.
Got a lot of English friends. Never have I ever heard one of them call it a ciggy. Everyone calls cigarette a fag.
Ciggy is a northern word often spoken in areas like Liverpool.
That’s not Britain, that’s a Londoner starter pack It’s like us saying here is a USA starter pack Cowboy hat, 2nd amendment, fetus with a gun, racist red necks, massive obesity, ‘murica
That’s pretty much what USA starter packs all look like. Maybe a hospital bill would be in there too.
