I always get in trouble for saying "Really?" After what people say instead of "That's interesting, or tell me more." Really means a whole different thing in the UK
Americans say "Really?" At the end of someone's statement, like "Really? She said that? That is messed up." To the Brits I lived with saying "Really?" At the end of their statements made it sound like you are questioning the authenticity of their story, like "Really? That happened? No way." They think you don't believe their word. It took me a while to break that habit.
It's really cold in my house (or as I like to call it refreshing) because I live in the desert. It reaches up to 125 in the summer where I live in Southern California.
British slang for "to masturbate" first recorded in the 1940s (used in Australia and New Zealand too). It's a swear word that's somewhere around "sh*t" in acceptability in polite company and so it's funny to British audiences when it creeps into US tv shows that don't normally allow any sort of swearing e.g. The Simpsons, Frasier.
See what's wrong with the first one is they are using an inference made by the media. And the U.S is very diverse and a large population is Mexican so the Mexican culture celebrates it, its not an official holiday but Mexicans celebrate it
If you look at the amount of money spent and people who actively celebrate it, it's way more popular in America. Kind of like St. Patrick's Day, the Irish treat it more closely to our Presidents Day while we party hard.
But the way people celebrate in the U.S is different from Mexico. In Puebla it is a huge event and the surrounding areas . It is also celebrated a little more in southern Mexico than in northern Mexico because more Mexican Europeans live there. Also most Americans think Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's independence day which is not so they most of the time is celebrated wrong.
The red cups are just plastic cups normally bought for parties or other events because they're cheap, movies use them to show partying with alcohol and stuff. Also there's a country song that was waaayyyy over played called 'red solo cup'
Well, a red solo cup is the best receptacle for barbecues, tailgates, fairs, and festivals. The song literally explains what's with red solo cups. They're just the best. And ever since the song, you can count on some idiots making fools of themselves singing the song. It's all good.
Also with the air conditioner thing, in kansas we get the worst of all seasons, last winter it got to -30 degrees F ( can't spell it actually owo) and already it's reached up to 90 degrees F and summers just starting. We need ACs to cope with the really intense heat because sometimes around mid summer it might reach over 112 degrees like last year.
What is it with the stupid world obsessed with judging and hating shameless American culture and decadence? I drink from a red solo cup 'cause that's what they sell. A bazillion rich twerps bought a Taco Bell and stuck them on every American street. We're big and sweaty from all the Taco Bell and want to bask in cold dry air. No real intelligent person talks about where there from when fighting. Americans don't laugh, we talk about laughing...nothing's that funny anymore after working 80 hours for a**holes. My door's open because I'm a free American and I'll shoot your intruder a**. I don't know a f***ing person who ever did something as fruity as "going out for yogurt." And the term cocksock is funny...but reserved for dorky kids who are lazy and hiding their shameful behavior.
