Separated by a Common Language	comment	Language can cause confusion even when two people aren't using separate languages. Often, it's enough for them to speak different dialects of the same language. This trope applies when the differences in dialects of a common language are used for humor or characterization. Most of the examples here are about the differences between British English and American English, but this can occur in any pair of dialects, in any language. Confusion over dialects in Real Life varies from person to person, and depends on the situation. If British Alice says "throw it in the 'boot'" to American Bob in a story, without context he may be confused; but when they're obviously near to a car, it isn't a huge leap that she means that something should be put in the "trunk". A non-Irish reader may be confused by the phrase 'giving out'. This could lead to all sorts of confusion, such as when a nice British girl met an American guy and told him he could "knock me up sometime." American meaning: "I want you to get me pregnant." British meaning: "I want you to call my telephone." It can also be a giveaway when a writer sets a story in a land besides his native one. Many English and Canadian writers write for American audiences. Often they're so good at it that the reader doesn't notice—until a Texan character mentions something that happened "when I was at university." (An American would say "when I was in college" or "...in grad school" or simply "in school", even if he got his degree at a university.)note This is because the line separating a "University" from a "College" is nearly nonexistent in the USA, as far as everyday speech goes... and "college" frankly takes half the effort to say and spell. Whereas most young, modern British characters would refer to "When I was at Uni". People who read or watch a lot of fiction in another dialect will understand more words than expected, which may even be Lampshaded by the writers. Before the rise of the Internet in the early 1990s it was posited that the different versions of English might eventually diverge into separate languages; however, these days the Internet has made it possible to inexpensively speak to a friend in a like-language country on a daily basis in both text and voice — plus watch their TV shows and play video games with them, so only time will tell. Interestingly, this phenomenon was and still is far more severe when it comes to Spanish, Portuguese or French, to the point where Same Language Dubs are usually required — especially for Spanish, which is the official language of the majority of the western hemisphere and varies wildly across the continent and has two radically different dialects in Spain to boot. See also Australian English and Did Not Do the Bloody Research. Compare Have a Gay Old Time, where the same word means different things in two different time periods rather than countries. On the other hand, this article is about an in-depth difference between a language and a dialect. Contrast Inexplicable Language Fluency, when a character does understand a language they shouldn't be able to, and Language Barrier, which is Separated By Lack of a Common Language. For more information on how this happens in Real Life, see the Useful Notes page.

As a guest on Letterman's show, Emma Watson said that she committed this infraction during her first semester at an American university (Brown), asking a male classmate for a rubber during class. Emma was baffled when Letterman made a reference to "punting on fourth down"; "punt" means kick in American slang (in American Football context as in his comment, it means to relinquish possession in a useless situation), whereas it means rowing in British slang.

Then he gets confused because he has no idea what chips, crisps, biscuits, and candy floss are, and starts to panic until Luna sings him a song about the differences between the UK's English and America's English and explains that the aforementioned foods are the British names for french fries, potato chips, cookies, and cotton candy.

Smurf" (and the Animated Adaptation cartoon special "The Smurfic Games") has the Smurfs fighting over the proper use of the word "smurf" in compounded words and phrases. For instance, some of the Smurfs call a corkscrew a "smurfscrew," while the other Smurfs call it a "corksmurf." In the comic book story, this leads to a Silly Reason for War which gets resolved by Papa Smurf reluctantly enlisting the aid of Gargamel using a "Freaky Friday" Flip to get the Smurfs fighting together against a common enemy. In the cartoon special, it gets resolved with the creation of The Olympics in their culture.

Even better, there was no explanatory text, because it was assumed the "mistake" went without saying, leading to a number of British people in the comments trying to figure out what the problem was, because they didn't know it was different in America, either.

In an episode where ferocious barmaid Carla is confronted with a deathbed ultimatum from her estranged mother - if you really love me, then you must prove it by getting one of your children to change his name to that of a great and famous Italian - she is horrified and refuses. However, one of her sons, who is not encumbered by brainpower, says he is willing to change his name to Benito Mussolini Tortelli. The historical and political implications of the name go right over his head. But Tortelli Junior baulks at one thing. Reading that Mussolini was also known as Il Duce, he pronounces the name in the characteristic Italian-American way, not sounding the second syllable. note Il Duce - pron Il Doo-chey, "the leader", in Europe And refuses to be known as The Douche''.

In the French-Canadian dub, where Bart already speaks French, this is changed to the gendarme not understanding Quebec dialect until Bart puts on a Parisian accent note If you're wondering about the European French dub, it changed the scene entirely so that the police officer does understand Bart but doesn't take him seriously until he brings up that his captors are selling tainted wine. "Lisa's Wedding": In the time-skip episode (first aired in 1995, set in 2010), Marge talks to Lisa (both are American) on the "picture phone". Lisa is spending her summer with her boyfriend Hugh in England, and Marge tells her she should remember that an elevator is a "lift", a mile is called a "kilometer" and botulism is "steak-and-kidney pie". The elevator/lift one is accurate, the mile/kilometer one is a joke that England might move to the metric system in the future as the rest of Europe (not bloody likely, and even if they did miles and kilometers still aren't equal in length), and the last one is just a jab at the English stereotype of their poor cooking and food standards. In "Brush With Greatness", in the 1960s, the teenaged Marge sent Ringo Starr a letter with her portrait of him, but he didn't respond. At least, until 1991, when he finally got it.

Separated by a Common Language / int_2abd5315	comment	The British version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? had a more varied lineup of performers compared to the US version, including British, American, and Canadian comedians. Sometimes the humo(u)r comes from an American/Canadian performer not understanding what a British performer is referring to, or vice versa. It gets even weirder in the episodes filmed in the US—you've got a British host, American and Canadian performers (and in some of the New York episodes, British performers as well), performing in front of a live American audience, for a British TV audience. For example, British host Clive Anderson once got in a brief discussion with American Greg Proops over the meaning of the word "jelly". note For Brits, it means gelatin or Jell-O; for Americans, it's a catch-all term for things like jam or marmalade.

The four children go to a restaurant and have to ask the waiter for recommendations, as none of the dishes on the menu are familiar to them, and his answer (he recommends beef and kidney pie for the boys and shepherd's pie for the girls, and adds that the cheddar and pickle sandwich is "rather toppo") just confuses them further, leading Marcie, who speaks French to lampshade that she should've studied English instead. Meanwhile, when Snoopy hails a taxi to go from Wimbledon to Victoria Station, the cabbie can't make sense of what he says (which the audience just hears as growling) and remarks that "it's a bit dicey understandin' these Yanks!" So he asks Snoopy to repeat himself slower, and even though Snoopy makes the exact same noises, the driver understands him this time.

The Israelis all speak English, but it's not their first language. The staff of Sterling Cooper are put off when the Israelis say they came to them because they wanted something 'old fashioned', since that is almost an insult in the advertising world.

Separated by a Common Language / int_3558eaa2	comment	In Community, Professor Ian Duncan, the British professor, played by John Oliver, occasionally uses British terms as part of a joke. All of which are part of the larger joke that Duncan doesn't actually know any English slang and knows very little about England, having come to the US at a young age with his grandfather. Duncan claims, "I seem to have left my purse in my duffel and my duffel in the boot of my lorry," when trying to borrow money. These are all British-specific terms, though a "lorry" would be a large 18-wheel truck, not a personal pick-up truck, which Duncan doesn't own either. Professor Duncan: "Let's blow this pop stand and head out back for a spot of slap and tickle. That's sex, in case the lingo hasn't made it across the pond." In one episode, Britta (a hottie of the group) wants to high-five with Professor Duncan and he leans in for a kiss, but Britta pulls away from him. "Okay, American high-five it is." In another episode Duncan is driving Britta home, and decides to put on a British comedy radio show. As he's trying to explain the cultural background of the jokes, Britta simply responds with: "Are they speaking English?"

After listening to a Hokkien-language conversation between Formosan royals It-Beng Sia and Bun-Lan Lim about a chest falling into the ocean and attracting monsters, Chinese topman Li Hong can only make out that the royals were talking about monsters, presumably because he speaks Cantonese, which is not mutually intelligible with Hokkien. Later, Captain Witterel interrogates the Formosan guard Chioh Tan about the chest, with Chinese topman Huang Li acting as interpreter. As Li's Mandarin and Tan's Hokkien are not mutually intelligible, it only complicates things, and the only thing that Li could make out is that it has something to do with a shell.

Michael started dating a British woman who called him a 'pussy' which is a fictional slang described by the narrator to mean 'a nice or pleasant person' rather than 'weak or effiminate'. In the same scene, they bring up the word 'fag' to refer to cigarettes which the narrator also points out it has a different meaning there. In another instance, Tobias thinks the word poofter means tourist when it actually means gay man and when in a Paper-Thin Disguise as a British nanny, refers to sausage as a 'banger in the mouth'.

The villager who helps Enrique gets started on his journey tells him to claim to be Mexican if he's caught by Border Patrol, so he won't be sent back to Guatemala. He tests Enrique by asking him to say "It's very hot", and when a bemused Enrique says "Hace mucho calor", the villager says that's wrong—he has to say hace chingana calor, "It's fucking hot." Apparently Mexicans curse constantly. When Enrique makes it to Mexico he finds out that his friend was right.

It doesn't come up in a plot relevant way, but after she's caught in an explosion, she says that it feels like "the cinema". She then corrects herself that in America, people say "in the movies", not "cinema" and asks why there's a different word for it. In "Alpha Male", they demonstrate the trope within American English. The unsub's manifesto includes regionalisms like "tapping the MAC", causing the team to look up just what he means so they can figure out where he's going next (it's "using an ATM" if you were wondering). As Urban Dictionary explains, MAC is the Money Access Center network that was ubiquitous in the Northeast and particularly in Philadelphia from the 1980s through the early 2000s Used in one episode to identify a specific suspect, when her unique quirk of referring to lightbulbs as "lightbugs" allows Garcia to track down online chatter that belongs to her.

Separated by a Common Language / int_cd0cef7	comment	In America, "spaz" is a term to say that someone is prone to acting silly, erratically or over-energetically. "Spazzing out" is used as a casual term for going wild or becoming excited, with only a tenuous connection to any medical condition. In the UK, however, both of these and its original form "spastic" are unfortunately often used to describe someone with cerebral palsy, and is considered a pretty serious insult and a hateful ableist slur. In 2022, this caused controversy for artists Lizzo and BeyoncÃ©, when both used the term in their music with the intended American meaning of "zany, overly enthusiastic." However, both artists apologised and changed the lyrics after outcry from British listeners. Years earlier, "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Word Crimes" featured the word "spastic" in a similar context - in this case the artist apologized but didn't end up editing the song.

Separated by a Common Language / int_d2823bb4	comment	In the comedy-mystery Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?, Rob (an American) learns that Natasha's life is in danger and rushes to save her. He asks the guard in the lobby which floor she is on and the guard tells him she is on the second floor. He rushes to the second floor but cannot find her. When he returns to the lobby to question the guard again, the guard (an Englishman) reminds him that the English and the Americans number buildings stories differently. In England the first floor is the one above the ground floor, while in America "first floor" and "ground floor" are synonymous.

Separated by a Common Language / int_d5fcae4e	comment	Happens frequently on Ted Lasso, where the titular character is just as ignorant about British vocabulary as he is about soccer/football. His Hypercompetent Sidekick Coach Beard frequently acts as his translator, explaining translations such as: coach/manager, practice/training, cleat/boot, trunk/boot, etc. Amusingly, the show also acknowledges that both countries use the same words but with different spellings, as one gag has Ted think Dr. Fieldstone writing "favourite" in her goodbye letter to him was a typo.

Separated by a Common Language / int_d69208d2	comment	In one episode of Codename: Kids Next Door, Numbuh 1 goes with his father overseas to his homeland of England. Despite having a pretty robust English accent, Nigel is worried that he won't be able to comprehend their language while his father assures him they speak English. Unfortunately Nigel indeed ends up confused due to the massive number of idioms that fly over his head once they arrive (and compounded by thick British accents that mask what he would otherwise be able to understand).

What Abigail Did That Summer has extensive footnotes translating Abigail's London teenspeak, supposedly for the benefit of the same FBI agent, but actually quite useful to the older British reader as well.

This trope is used for humor in "The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor" (though the conversation being described ultimately proves plot-relevant):
