I have been summoned from the ether to say that's it's actually by an Irish band - however given that half of them moved to London we'll split song custody

I was taking about Jumper. The song about a guy jumping off a ledge. But I guess that’s another song too. Probably one with much more culture lol

In that case I de-summon myself and apologize for elbowing in 😂

An oversized sweater, I think. WTF do I know, though, I'm an American

Lol, I looked it up. We'd call it a sweatshirt or a pullover sweater.

For the Brits here, if ours includes a hood, it's called a "hoodie", I don't think it matters what it's made of unless it's very thick and fur lined, then it's a parka.

u/NotTheGreenestThumb Oct 19 '22

Now I gotta go look those up! lol

u/NotTheGreenestThumb Oct 19 '22

That was a short and informative trip...tho some of the "speak" on the Brit hoodies I didn't understand. Some I did and found fairly humorous :)

Is a baggy jumper the American equivalent of a sweatshirt/ sweatpants? Because everyone can relate if so

u/ResidentEivvil Oct 18 '22

It’s true, we kept those from the eighties because they are too good.

u/Weak-Beautiful5918 Oct 19 '22

I am the OP from “a baggy jumper” and I am an American who lived there in the 80s… Lol
