27 Phrases Americans Use That Non-Americans Can’t Seem To Understand

Americans are known for being ignorant of other cultures and ways of life. However, did you know a number of non-Americans don’t even realize we have different time zones?

Thankfully, whenever I’m feeling bad that I haven’t traveled the world, learning about all the nooks and crannies of human life, I look at Twitter and realize that people who don’t live in America have no idea what life is like here.

We have a TON of culture. For instance. Walmart AND Target. That’s about it. Grunge music? That was cool.

Anyway, these tweets will give you an idea of what phrases really only exist in America and nowhere else.
