The English speak English, and so do the Americans, but differently. Not only do they use different words and spelling, but the context makes it sometimes hard for the ingenious bystander to follow:
| British English | American English | Meaning |
| In a certain way it is. | Fucking A it is. | strictly affirmative |
| Jolly good, old chap. | I feel you, dog. | affirmative |
| I will to my best. | No way José. | strictly negative |
| Nice weather today, old sport. | What’s up, dude. | initiation of socializing process |
| That´s a good idea. | Get outta here | negative |
