Berry and Cakes Conversations - Lost in Translation

I miss putting up these kinds of posts! Remember how I used to share some of the funny conversations Cakes and I used to have (Car, Kitchen, Foot Massages, Training)? I went down memory lane last week and read some posts from a couple of years ago, and they made me smile inwardly. Anyways, the main reasons why we were lost in translation in our early days was the whole UK versus US English. 

*On a random day, in our dating period, I ping Cakes*

Berry: Hey. Are you okay?

Cakes: What? Excuse me?

Berry: I asked if you’re okay?

Cakes: What’s that supposed to mean?

Berry: Erm, it means are you okay? Are you fine? Are you good? How are you?

Cakes: Oh. Lol. I thought you were asking me if I’m alright in the head.

Berry: :-|

P.S. - The same conversation above can apply to the word "mad."
*a different day, Cakes calls me*

Cakes: Hey, how are you?

Berry: I’m good. I went to go get gas.

Cakes: Oh. Why didn't you call me to come and help you?

Berry: I can drive by myself, you know?

Cakes: Yes I know, but isn't the cylinder heavy for you?

Berry: Huh?

*silence*

Berry: Ohhhh. By gas, I mean fuel o. Petrol. Not cooking gas.

Cakes: Hmm. This kind Americanah girl I’m liking.

*yet a different day, this time, after marriage*

Cakes: Babe, I'm going to make breakfast.

Berry: YAY!

Cakes: Do you want beverage?

Berry: *blank stare because I know where this is going*

Cakes: Tea or Cocoa?

Berry: Shey you know "beverage" means drink, right?

Cakes: Noooo. Tea, Cocoa, Coffee, etc - hot drinks - those are beverages.

Berry: Yeah, only in Nigeria. In the rest of the world, beverage = drink.

Cakes: It's a lie. I'm going to Google it.

Berry: Have fun, and take pictures of your face when you realize I'm right.

Cakes: *Googles and keeps quiet*

Berry: What did...

Cakes: Gerout! *walks off to make yummy breakfast*

Berry: BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Have a gorgeous week! And somebody please tell Cakes to organize ice cream for me please :(
