I wonder if it's loaded.
anybody have examples of the opposite? American hollywood movies/shows that nonchalantly presented something common in the USA, but was jarring when you watched it?
A teacher needing to sell meth to pay for his cancer treatment.
Breaking indoor walls so damn easily, thought it was a Hollywood thing like exploding cars, endless mags etc. Took me a while to get that such thin walls are just common in the US
Pledge of allegiance in school is quite unusual.

"Central air" is a term I only learned the meaning of recently, but American TV assumes everyone knows what it is. Which is fair, if you all have it. Same with the hand blenders you have in your kitchen sinks.
a hand blender in my sink? TF?
Are you referring to a garbage disposer?

Hollywood celebrities and writers all have "Central Air". The rest of us know what it is, but we don't all have it.
