American TikToker: "Can Someone Please Tell Me". 20 Things Americans Find Odd In Britain
Despite sharing the same language, there is a number of cultural differences between Brits and Americans. Whether it's their strange obsession with baking goods from Greggs, getting 'pissed' (which also means drunk) on a Sunday morning, or going out in a dress and heels only in winter, Brits sure have more than a thing or two that confuse their overseas neighbors (or is it, neighbours?).

Although British people and Americans share the same language, it's fairly easy to find the obvious differences between the two. Starting from the vocabulary (is it an elevator, or a lift?) and finishing with cultural differences. Brits won't simply say, "I'm going to the toilet", they will say, "I need to wee" or "I'll go to the loo", and yes, it has two separate meanings.
