What is a "Britishism"?
A Britishism is a word, phrase, or linguistic feature that is characteristic of British English and may not be commonly used in other varieties of English, such as American English. Britishisms can include specific vocabulary, pronunciation, or idiomatic expressions that reflect the unique cultural and linguistic traditions of the United Kingdom. These terms may be recognized or adopted in other regions, but they remain distinctly British in origin. The use of Britishisms often highlights the differences between regional forms of English and contributes to the linguistic diversity within the English language.
