Americans reveal the British things that confuse them most from digestive biscuits to 'getting p*****' in hilarious Reddit thread

Americans have revealed the “British things” that confuse them the most – such as digestive biscuits – in a hilarious Reddit post.

Other ways of British life, such as baked beans, also came under fire from baffled Americans in the light-hearted discussion.

One user named julian-of-norwich led the way with a diatribe against one of the UK's most-loved snacks: “I'm gonna have to go with ‘digestive biscuits’. It sounds like something I'd give to my dog if he ate a crayon.”

Another, going by Mr Drewski, was confused about accents and dialects, saying: “When I visited I noticed that there are many different accents. That bit makes sense, we have that here, people from Texas don't sound like those from Alabama don't sound like those from Ohio.

“The part that seemed to confuse me was there seemed to be a connotation with the accents. Example: this accent is a ‘posh’ accent.”

Fellow user Scroobiusness said: “I made friends in the UK and had a night out with them.

“At the end of the night one of them looked at me and said ‘you’re p*****’ and I asked: ‘What?’ He said ‘you seem like your p***** mate’ and I responded: ‘No I’m feeling good. I’m not mad, tonight has been great.’

“He then explained that p***** meant drunk, which I think I already knew but I think by that point I couldn’t remember which country I was in because I was p*****.”

“Katylovescoach” rounded on British desserts: “Pudding. I don’t understand it. It is nothing like our pudding.”

Despite the worldwide popularity of the full English breakfast, Grown_Man_Poops said: “Beans for breakfast.”

“Bit_Vagabond” said: “Leaving out ‘the’ when referring to a place sometimes. Like why do you say ‘he's in hospital’ but not ‘he's in ‘ub’?

And “TheHodag” lamented: “They use units like ‘stone” and then have the audacity to complain that Americans don’t use the metric system.”
