always gets me.

that guy is really annoying as fuck

That fact that he has never noticed the distinction between eleven / twelve and fourteen / sixteen / seventeen etc.

What a douche

Did he get to 101 and realise his earlier 21/ twenty and one rant would be hypocritical?

What a douche

A lot of Americans say 'hundred one'.

However, it's obviously a fictional persona for humorous purposes.

Ding ding, we have a winner!

He's also not wrong, my French MIL found it tres amusing too so that means it must be funny.

A lot of Americans say 'hundred one'

And a lot of English people say "four & twenty", especially when making blackbird pie🫓

I dunno where it comes from, but when telling the time, my mum says "it's a five and twenty to / past....(the hour)" instead of simply twenty five to / past.... whatever the hour is.

She only does it for 25.

Riddle me that. Does anyone else's mum do that?

Nah but I remember yank pals doing it and some other odd stuff with time which resulted in me having no clue what time they were trying to talk about.

"5 and twenty past" is for when the big hand is past the 4 but not as far as the 5, was my understanding.
After 20past, but not as late as 25past.

you sound crazier than my mum. That makes zero sense.

Memory has sparked

Yeah fuck that noise, absolute madness. Bon fromage Rodney.

I think Americans say "Fifteen of twelve" when they mean quarter to twelve.

My mother would always say five and twenty to or past an hour, I never asked why. Why did "people" start this new millennium with two thousand and X? At least since we've had twenty twenty it should be plain sailing from now on.

Mostly agreed but twenty double aught doesn’t sound right.

Does anyone else's mum do that?

My dad's mum did.

Apparently there's even weirder stuff going on in Catalonia with time keeping, something along the lines of 1415h being "quarter of three" etc., i.e. a quarter of the third hour has elapsed.

You might say the way forward is in clear sight.

I'll get me coat.

In Sweden, half 5 is 4.30, half of 5 apparently

Yeah, but don't they beat an animated log till it shits their Christmas presents out?
Strange bunch.

Half less five beyond twelve plus 3

Whilst singing a lovely song about the shitting log.

Can be the same in Lithuanian I think
