I've noticed this more and more, I thought it was a European thing but now it seems its everywhere..

Kinda like "I'm going to university" we always said: "I'm going to college"

That's Brit-speak. I've literally never heard an American say this.

I've literally never heard anybody in America say "on holiday" or "going to uni".

OP are you hanging out in a pub or hostel?

I always say holiday since our family is still in the House of Lords.

And it sounds happier.

Vacate is just to leave.
Holiday is start of something fun.

Angelica still calls it “vacation”, that’s good enough for me.

Yeah I thought that was some gay shite they said in England, but for whatever reason people say it more in America...

When you say holiday.. I am thinking of Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, 4th of July.. Otherwise, when you take off to do something you want to do.. thats vacation..

But in reality, I don't really care if someone says it or not.. I am just saying how I think of it.

Did you move to Europe? I've never heard anyone say that without a British accent.
