#I cringed so hard when Hank called a scone a biscuit

Dawn’s Britishisms Headcanons

Since Dawn’s mother was British (and Dawn may have spent the early years of her life in the UK) she picked up some of her mannerisms, word choices, and preferences

She knows the difference between the cornish and devonshire ways to apply jam and cream onto the scones

She prefers the cornish way

She says maths instead of math when referring to mathematics

Prefers english pancakes to american ones

Autumn not fall

Calls the boot of a car the boot rather than the trunk

Uses the term fortnight

Aubergine not eggplant

Adds ‘u’s when writing but not all of the time, so one day she may write ‘my favourite colour is blue’ and then another day write ‘my favorite color is blue’

She is familiar with a decent amount of english slang but doesn’t use them in conversation

Has definitely carried on her mother’s tradition of afternoon tea

When she was little she had a bit of a london twang but she grew out of it

Corrects Hank when he misidentifies things for example, calling a scone a biscuit (which it is not)

Her mother was a bit fan of Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing on Ice, Dawn, Holly and their mother would sit down and watch it together

Dawn still watches Strictly and Dancing on Ice - Hank is a fan of the more comical team ups that happen on the shows but would never let on that he watches them
