Oh my Jesus thank you! <3

Did he really just say to go visit Canada to experience "Eh"?

Hima-papa I love you.

[smileyfacegamer.livejournal.com]

Oh yes thank you for translating! I agree about the souvenirs xD

[plalligator.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha the brightly-colored food and drink. This isn't the first time he's mentioned it, either. It's true energy drinks and things can come in some pretty scary colors...

Thank you, oh lovely and wonderful translator. :D

Museum gift shops are always the best places to buy cool things when you're on vacation. ^^

Hima needs to visit Australia and New Zealand, because it would have been fun to read his take on Australian English and New Zealand English along with American, British, and Canadian English.

Without a doubt. Because you definitely should. Viiiisiiiittt

[dawnofdeparture.livejournal.com]

Oh well in that case I'll be there in five minutes!

/fly to Canada

I always thought it was cute how American's say Sir and Ma'am. It's certainly not something I see in England often/at all.

Thank you Hima-papa for all the help. I'll keep it in mind when I visit America next year!

Especially since, though it's the polite way to address someone in America, women hate being called ma'am. XD It leaves people confused about how to address ladies. "Do I call her ma'am? Will she be offended? How about miss? Is she too old to be a miss? What do I do??"

[dj-mewmew.livejournal.com]

Are there a one and two and I missed them!?

"Can I have a chips" Lolol Hima-papa. Good job.

He does have a point about the souvenirs..... a lot of stuff is really shoddy compared to stuff I bought in Japan haha! But then again I don't buy a lot of US souvenirs because I never go in the gift shops.

WHAT ARE THESE NEON GREEN PANCAKES HE SPEAKS OF? The drink is totally Gatorade that he's talking about but G-GREEN PANCAKES? Usually I laugh at Hima-papa's OMGWTF NEON FOOD comments but that one has even me going oAo;;;;

Also every time he brings up strange american food I keep wanting to send him pics of that really disgusting green/purple ketchup. I don't think they make those anyone though. Oooo or those equally weird blue french fries.

The last time I was in Canada I LOOKED for a souvenir that said "Eh" on it, and couldn't really find anything! A couple, but nothing good. Lots of marijuana souvies, though...

[dj-mewmew.livejournal.com]

In my experience working in retail (where I just automatically call everyone sir/ma'am), woman have never been like "Did you just call me ma'am?!". I've gotten a few "Did you just call me SIR!?!" from some guys.

[shuriken7.livejournal.com]

OMG! I remember the ridiculous green & purple ketchup. I don't think I've seen that since I was a little kid though. That made me laugh XD

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

In England? Yeah totally. xD;

I don't think I'd know how to reply if someone called me that. xD

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

They even had that green/purple ketchup in England!

I remember at school in one of our lessons they wanted us all to try it. We were all terrified to. Eventually I braved it up and took a taste. It tasted normal to me and thus everyone else tried too. xD

[izzyninjajedi.livejournal.com]

For some reason I'm thinking the green pancakes are something he saw on St. Patrick's day and the eyeball candy was from Halloween XD

I must be a really impolite person because I rarely ever say sir or ma'am OTL

[kitkatsicons.livejournal.com]

whoa i'm an merican and i never heard of green pancakes before until you mentioned it

[kyoko215.livejournal.com]

Someone in the USUK thread mentioned the green pancakes could have been because of St. Patrick's day. That's the only way I could have seen that working. (and selling)

[arachnes-web.livejournal.com]

In the South, any woman older than you are is automatically "ma'am"

My senior year of high school I tutored a group of second graders and on my very first day, every single one of them called me ma'am. :)

[mintbun.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably!

lmao same here

[undone-reading.livejournal.com]

Outside of the South I feel like it's generally used only when talking to strangers. Like if you work at a store and your talking to a customer or if you're trying to stop someone you don't know on the street.

I never really say it either.

[undone-reading.livejournal.com]

If you want to hear a lot of "Sir" and "Ma'am" you should go down South, we don't use it half as much up North, although I guess Hima heard it in New York.

[dj-mewmew.livejournal.com]

It tasted normal but it looked so gross it ruined my appetite!!!! :'D I mean it wasn't even bright green it was /puke/ green.

[dj-mewmew.livejournal.com]

Yeah that's why I'm like, Hima-papa WHAT IS THIS? V See below about the St. Patrick's Day thing though

[dj-mewmew.livejournal.com]

Oh you're right. But in that case green milk > green pancakes on the weirdness scale I think
