Seven months on and my local Morrisons is advertising Smores - I'm not sure if they sell them though.

Sorry, S'mores, I still don't know what they are, some kind of dessert?

graham cracker base layer, piece of chocolate bar layer, toasted marshmallow layer, graham cracker top layer

its a treat

the s'more is the context that allows Hershey's chocolate to actually make sense

don't forget the twig, the campfire and a little camping chair outside the tent

i would not recommend putting these things on a s'mores as it would render it inedible.

get a loada this guy

fire pits at the beach are good too

S’mores are overrated

Roasted mellows ok, fuck a graham cracker. Maybe some chocolate later.

graham cracker

do you mean a gram cracker

graham crackers are good
i love smores

morning TV hosts currently screaming with laughter at the notion that sales of "American cheese" are slowing bcz "millennials" are aware of cheeses that contain cheese

"Havardy? Havardy."

"Goat brie, wrapped in a fig!"

they pipe NO2 into those studios iirc

angry to learn about cheeses that do not come in a highly convenient spray can

However I feel like one very American thing is the idea of “tastings” and “learning” about cheese, wine, craft beer, sausage, whiskey, pickle relish or whatever. It’s this modern day bougie flipside of our impoverished food culture. It’s still a huge improvement of course.

Using the word 'theater' for a cinema.

... or "the pictures", as it's called in Scotland.

Again though, that's one of those things where British English has changed, whereas Americans are still using English terminology from the 1600s. A theatre was anywhere where audiences watched a performance, including anatomical dissections (we still use surgical theatre, of course).

-- any indoor purpose-built structure, I guess I should add

Ah, that could be it.

Australian usage, too - and there are plenty of standalone theatres, or rooms in art museums, that aren’t dedicated cinemas but show movies sometimes.

(Is the term “lecture theatre” not used in Scotland or England, for a raked-seating room in a university or conference venue?)

It is, yes

Tom said theater, not theatre.

LOL, American guy in my work keeps calling me Sir.

maybe he thinks you're a knight. everyone in Great England is, right?

he's being polite, be nice

tell him he's a spineless boot licker and that the class war is real

These Americans and their obsession with 'civility', knowwhatimean?

referring to "new wave" when talking about post-punk

i recall watching vh1 as a child and remember they would say new wave was influenced by post punk

i don't hear anyone with a serious interest in music use the genres interchangeably

with music genres, though, there are so many dilettantes and uninitiated that it wouldn't surprise me if non-americans made this mistake, too
