An American woman has shared the nine words she didn't understand when she first moved to the UK.
Brianna Sky Morton moved to England with her husband, Thomas, in 2022 and regularly shares TikTok videos about the quirks of living in Britain.
Posting to her account which has more than 50,000 followers last week, the vlogger shared the list of words she had never heard before moving across the pond - and told how she had to Google each one to see what they meant.
The first word the content creator listed as unusual was 'busking', referencing performers and singers on the UK streets, leaving many users confused on the social media platform.
Hundreds took to the comments to query if the US have an equivalent name for a busker, but most speculated that Americans simply call them 'street performers'.
The next word on Ms Morton's list was 'chinwag', a piece of British slang believed to have derived in the 1800s from the physical movement of a face while speaking.
She said: 'I had to look that up. I'd never heard it before, but it just means to have a chat with someone.'
Some similar American equivalents to the term are to 'have a convo', a 'chitchat' or to 'shoot the breeze'.

Ms Morton said: 'Knackered made me giggle quite a bit, that's for extremely tired and is a term I do use now'

Another remark by the TikToker which left some users scratching their heads was her reference to the common use of the phrase 'innit' in England.
She said: 'Instead of saying isn't it, [people will say] innit. It's funny because they took a short word and made it slightly longer.'
