Lou queef were you from I am from Hartford and Sheffield a real place and today we're going to be doing an American slang quiz to find out if it can pinpoint where Jamie and I are from and maybe where Luke should be in the US based on his accent or slang okay so this is an official New York Times when you can do it the link is in the description today the first question is which ones of these would

do you pronounce caramel yes I say caramels sometimes I'm talk about the sauce but if it's like popcorn it's like with three syllables you know how it's written it's not there's not too hard here but camera camera ma'am you could use some both interchangeable there's an option yeah but you could just say car ml car ignore the letter a Melvin is a car car say caramel caramel what do you call a big road on which you drive relatively fast motorway I wish I could pick different ones here I think I honestly say highway for a lot of roads away but I also ever since going to California started saying

this so like if I'm at this party intersection and I need to cross diagonally what's the other side call diagonal I would also say dyeing it out oh sorry Kitty Wampus I get a game the kitty Wampus morning I honestly would only use diagonal with us yeah that's beautiful that you have a word for that I've generally never known that so what do you call the rubber soled shoes worn in gym class for

sandwich that contains cold cuts lettuce and so on a hoagie oh boy really yeah what do you call this I would say a baguette if I had to watch give it a name I would have known as well as some because

guests were only the hardened ones you get it like Sainsbury's no sub is soft fresh bread roll like it's a long soft fresh it would have a crusty outside right no it's not crusty hoagies are not crusty they're very soft all right yes oh yes okay no no you don't need some cheeses in it I wouldn't have meats and cheeses in it so you'd have to say because the only time you have that is a subway
