00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.880
Rule Britannia,
Britannia rules it.

2
00:00:02.900 --> 00:00:03.900
Hi.

3
00:00:03.920 --> 00:00:05.280
Welcome. I'm James from engVid.

4
00:00:05.300 --> 00:00:06.400
EngVid?

5
00:00:06.420 --> 00:00:08.020
Yes, engVid.

6
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:11.139
Today I'm going to do a
lesson on British slang.

7
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:19.160
We have students from both parts of the world that are in
England, and students that are in America learning English.

8
00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:20.680
We have them all over the place.

9
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:27.720
I specifically said England and America because the other day I had
a student walk up to me, and I forgot their name, and I'm so sorry.

10
00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:33.600
And they were saying, "I was watching British television, and
it was like learning English all over, I didn't understand.

11
00:00:33.620 --> 00:00:36.760
There was so much English slang.
Could you do a lesson on English slang?"

12
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:37.780
So here we are.

13
00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:42.740
So this is for those people who enjoy learning
English and want to branch out, because, to be honest,

14
00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:48.200
if you've learned American English and you watch British
English, it's going to actually help you with American English.

15
00:00:48.220 --> 00:00:49.220
What?

16
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:55.420
British English is very different in its slang and
whatnot, so you're going to have to learn to pay attention,

17
00:00:55.420 --> 00:00:59.360
and that attention or concentration will help
you when you can use it learning American.

18
00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:01.280
And the same
works in the reverse.

19
00:01:01.300 --> 00:01:06.920
If you learn British English and you start hearing
Americans talk, sorry, like, "I'm from Texas",

20
00:01:06.940 --> 00:01:08.300
you're going to go, "What?"

21
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:14.579
You'll learn to pay attention and you will be able to expand your
English, because although they're on different parts of the world,

22
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:18.959
they share the same language, most of it,
but the slang is unique and different,

23
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:27.339
and this lesson should start helping you learn how to learn
words that are in movies and television, British shows,

24
00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:30.940
and you'll be able to understand them so
you can actually get more out of the show.

25
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:32.759
You ready? Let's
go to the board.

26
00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:35.160
Enough talking. Enough.

27
00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:36.900
So the first thing I want
to show you... Okay.

28
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.660
British flag, American flag.

29
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.160
So here's the British slang, and on this
side we have the American translation.

30
00:01:43.180 --> 00:01:44.180
Okay?

31
00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:49.380
"Guy" and "dude" is like a slang in
American, anyway, American English.

32
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:55.100
But I will tell you what the word means in English, and then
we'll go over there and see what the translation would be.

33
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:56.800
The first one we
have is "bloke".

34
00:01:56.820 --> 00:01:58.020
It's a noun.

35
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.940
In America,
we would say "guy" or "dude".

36
00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:02.980
So in England, you might say,
"Who's that bloke over there?"

37
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.500
And in America, you'd say,
"Who's that guy?"

38
00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:07.720
"Dude", I mean,
"Who's that dude, man?"

39
00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:09.740
I mean, no.

40
00:02:09.760 --> 00:02:13.700
But you can think closer to "guy",
but "dude" is an equivalent to it.

41
00:02:13.700 --> 00:02:14.700
"Mate".

42
00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:17.499
"He's me mate.
He's me flatmate."

43
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.100
In this case, we mean "friend".

44
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:21.860
"He's me best mate."

45
00:02:21.880 --> 00:02:26.360
Now, here we don't use it that way, but, you
know, "mate" here means to a male and a female,

46
00:02:26.380 --> 00:02:29.560
or what have you,
come together and have relations.

47
00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:31.980
But in England,
your mate's your friend.

48
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.540
"He's a good mate of mine."

49
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:38.000
Now, this is an old word,
so don't shoot me and go to England and go,

50
00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:41.400
"There's a pretty
bird. I love that bird."

51
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:46.440
Okay? It's an older use of
the word for female, "bird".

52
00:02:46.460 --> 00:02:50.920
Sometimes they say "lass" or "lassie",
but that's more Scottish and Irish.

53
00:02:50.940 --> 00:02:51.940
"Bird" is there.

54
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.080
Now,
interesting fact about "bird".

55
00:02:55.100 --> 00:02:58.720
If you hear someone in England goes, "That's
for birds" or "That's for the birds",

56
00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:01.320
they may be saying
that's for women or girls.

57
00:03:01.340 --> 00:03:06.480
In Canada, for instance, you say, "That's
for the birds", it means it's not important.

58
00:03:06.500 --> 00:03:07.700
It's not...

59
00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:11.020
It's for a child or it's for
a less intelligent person.

60
00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:14.760
So just learning this alone,
you're like, "What? Be careful."

61
00:03:14.780 --> 00:03:18.860
Because what they mean in one country, "That's
for the birds", just it means it's for women.

62
00:03:18.880 --> 00:03:21.020
Doesn't mean
they're saying stupid.

63
00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:23.700
Okay? This is why
we want to learn this.

64
00:03:23.720 --> 00:03:24.720
Okay?

65
00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:26.300
"Fit".

66
00:03:26.320 --> 00:03:32.800
If you've watched any American television, you've
got guys like Tom Cruise or Chris Ellsworth

67
00:03:32.820 --> 00:03:35.900
or The Rock,
and they're all fit.

68
00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:37.400
Whoa. Mmm.

69
00:03:37.420 --> 00:03:39.420
Right? Okay, cool.

70
00:03:39.420 --> 00:03:42.460
But in England,
"fit" has another meaning.

71
00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:45.460
It's an adjective,
and it means good-looking.

72
00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:48.720
"That bird's rather fit,
right? Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah."

73
00:03:48.740 --> 00:03:53.080
Now, they might mean also she is athletic,
she's in good shape.

74
00:03:53.100 --> 00:03:57.020
But they will commonly say,
"That's a fit-looking jacket."

75
00:03:57.040 --> 00:03:59.220
Now, here's one you don't have.

76
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.260
In the US right now,
people are talking about their fits.

77
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:03.380
"How's my fit looking?"

78
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.400
And they mean outfit.

79
00:04:05.420 --> 00:04:06.580
Cool. How cool is that, right?

80
00:04:06.600 --> 00:04:08.680
So they go,
"My fit looks pretty good today."

81
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.040
In the US, they're saying,
"My outfit looks good."

82
00:04:11.060 --> 00:04:14.520
So you'd better watch and
listen carefully to who is speaking.

83
00:04:14.540 --> 00:04:19.400
In England, "fit" means good-looking,
and it also can mean athletic.

84
00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:22.199
In America,
"fit" can be just your outfit.

85
00:04:22.220 --> 00:04:25.180
They shorten the word,
and being athletic.

86
00:04:25.200 --> 00:04:26.200
Cool?

87
00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:30.020
See, that's why you come
here for the good stuff.

88
00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:31.960
"Chuffed".

89
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.779
You know, Josh looks rather
chuffed when he got that goal.

90
00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:38.979
Right? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

91
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:40.160
What the hell is "chuffed"?

92
00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:43.360
It means pleased,
or when you're happy with yourself.

93
00:04:43.380 --> 00:04:44.600
"I got the promotion."

94
00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:48.260
"You got the promotion? Don't he
look rather chuffed, that guy there, right?

95
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:49.839
The mate got the promotion."

96
00:04:49.860 --> 00:04:52.480
He's happy with himself,
so you're chuffed.

97
00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:53.500
Right?

98
00:04:54.779 --> 00:04:55.919
Now, that is an adjective.

99
00:04:55.940 --> 00:04:59.020
Now, "pissed", this is where
it gets rather interesting again.

100
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.320
And "pissed off".

101
00:05:00.339 --> 00:05:02.959
In England, they will use both,
being pissed and pissed off.

102
00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:06.279
But "pissed" in England
by itself means drunk.

103
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:07.799
"Look at that bloke,
he's rather pissed.

104
00:05:07.820 --> 00:05:11.380
Look at him falling down all
over the place, there, right?"

105
00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:13.020
Drunk.

106
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.220
In America,
"pissed" means angry.

107
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.380
"I heard Jeff's really pissed about
what happened in the company."

108
00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:21.900
"Yeah,
he's really angry about that."

109
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.400
Now, both will use "pissed off" to be angry,
but in the UK, "pissed" will be drunk,

110
00:05:26.420 --> 00:05:28.560
and American,
"pissed" will be angry.

111
00:05:28.580 --> 00:05:32.460
Similar, not the same when we use
the "pissed off" version they both used.

112
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.020
Keep that in mind. Right?

113
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.000
Hey, you want to go out
this Friday and get pissed?

114
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.820
I'm not asking you to get angry,
but let's get drunk.

115
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.799
Now, along with being pissed,
being "miffed".

116
00:05:43.820 --> 00:05:46.599
"Charlotte was rather miffed
that the horse didn't come home."

117
00:05:46.620 --> 00:05:49.260
"Miffed", angry, upset.

118
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.499
Hmm. Look at the word "miffed".

119
00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:53.180
You can see a little British
person shaking when they say it.

120
00:05:53.200 --> 00:05:54.600
"I'm miffed about that."

121
00:05:54.620 --> 00:05:57.140
You know,
the constraint and control they have.

122
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.780
Okay, "miffed",
it means to be upset.

123
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.680
Our next one is "knackered".

124
00:06:01.700 --> 00:06:05.540
It's an adjective,
and it means very tired or...

125
00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:09.900
Oh, "exhausted", which I must have
been when I added the extra "e" here.

126
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.840
We don't need an extra "e" for "exhausted"
because I was very tired when I did this lesson.

127
00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:15.680
Forgive me.

128
00:06:15.700 --> 00:06:18.479
Interesting fact
about "knackered".

129
00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:24.519
In the old days, a knackery was a place that you took
a horse that died, and they would make glue out of it.

130
00:06:24.540 --> 00:06:27.740
Sorry, vegans, vegetarians,
or anyone who's triggered by that.

131
00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:33.640
So, you can imagine that if you're
knackered, it means you are dead tired.

132
00:06:33.660 --> 00:06:34.660
Ouch.

133
00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:35.660
Okay?

134
00:06:35.660 --> 00:06:39.740
So, we're very tired in the United States,
we're exhausted, and that's "knackered".

135
00:06:39.760 --> 00:06:40.760
All right.

136
00:06:40.760 --> 00:06:44.800
So, the next one after we add "knackered",
being dead tired, we have "bullocks".

137
00:06:44.820 --> 00:06:50.160
Now, that's interesting because
"bullocks" can be a noun or an exclamation.

138
00:06:50.180 --> 00:06:52.380
And what do I mean by that?

139
00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:58.839
Noun, it's testicles,
the things between men's legs, the testes.

140
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:04.819
But as an exclamation, if you want
to say something's not true, Jones...

141
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:06.899
I'm trying to think of something,
like...

142
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:08.299
Jones is a fantastic writer.

143
00:07:08.320 --> 00:07:09.860
"Bullocks!"

144
00:07:09.880 --> 00:07:11.600
Not true.

145
00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:14.820
Or defensive, if someone says something to
you, you're like, "Bullocks, I'm not doing it.

146
00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:15.760
Bullocks."

147
00:07:15.780 --> 00:07:16.580
Right?

148
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.780
Not true, or you can use it as a defensive
way of "I'm being defensive, I'm not going

149
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.300
to do what you asked me to do",
and that is "bullocks".

150
00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:30.160
As an adjective for "expensive", you know,
some of you are young enough or old enough

151
00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:33.320
to know this, and some of you don't know it,
but there were the Spice Girls and there was

152
00:07:33.340 --> 00:07:37.760
"posh spice", and if you wondered what it
was because it was sporty spice, I think it

153
00:07:37.780 --> 00:07:43.360
was flamingo spice, I'm just joking,
salty spice, she was rather salty.

154
00:07:43.380 --> 00:07:44.380
Joke, joke, joke.

155
00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:47.179
But there was "posh spice".

156
00:07:47.200 --> 00:07:48.180
"Posh" in English...

157
00:07:48.200 --> 00:07:51.180
In England means
"fancy" or "expensive".

158
00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:54.480
"That's a rather posh jacket
you're wearing there, mate. Right."

159
00:07:54.500 --> 00:07:56.580
And you could be saying
it looks fancy or expensive.

160
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.500
"I went to a posh
party the other day."

161
00:07:58.520 --> 00:08:02.420
Of course that's not going to be
expensive if you're saying a fancy party.

162
00:08:02.440 --> 00:08:04.220
All right?

163
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:08.580
And the opposite of "posh" we got is "naff",
and that's also an adjective, and this is

164
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.760
"tacky" or "worthless".

165
00:08:10.780 --> 00:08:16.520
So in this case it's like, ugh, when someone
wears, I don't know, you know, big gold chain...

166
00:08:16.540 --> 00:08:19.140
Uh-oh, I don't want the rap
community coming after me.

167
00:08:19.140 --> 00:08:23.220
But big gold chains and diamond earrings are
dripping down, and, you know, like, velvet

168
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.640
suits, and they're like, "Hey, look, I'm
styling with their gold teeth", and you're like,

169
00:08:26.660 --> 00:08:28.860
"Man, that's tacky".

170
00:08:28.880 --> 00:08:31.740
But that's "naff", right?

171
00:08:31.760 --> 00:08:34.620
It's tacky and worthless.

172
00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:38.220
Now, not saying that about the rap
community, I love you guys, right?

173
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.140
I'm not going to say Jay-Z or anyone,
I don't even know what to say.

174
00:08:40.160 --> 00:08:42.600
DMX, love him.

175
00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:44.500
Here we've done our 11...

176
00:08:44.520 --> 00:08:45.420
See that?

177
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:46.520
Two E's.

178
00:08:46.520 --> 00:08:51.800
Eleven British slangs and the American translation,
so the next time you're watching a British

179
00:08:51.820 --> 00:08:52.820
movie you'll be able to...

180
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.980
When you hear someone go "Bollocks", you'll
know why he's saying it, you'll be like, "Yeah,

181
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:57.000
he's got big balls.

182
00:08:57.020 --> 00:08:58.020
Whoops.

183
00:08:58.679 --> 00:08:59.679
Testicles."

184
00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:04.080
All right, so we're going to do what we usually
do right now, we're going to take a break,

185
00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:09.540
quick break, and we're going to go to our
quiz, our homework, and that extra magic.

186
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:12.579
So,
we're back and it's testing time.

187
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:16.179
Now, I may give you a few options because
you might say, "Hey, I could also say..."

188
00:09:16.179 --> 00:09:22.419
And I'm going to say to you, you're a
smart person, you're a smart chap, bloke.

189
00:09:22.420 --> 00:09:25.420
So let's look at a story first, and what I
want you to do is take that British slang

190
00:09:25.420 --> 00:09:29.160
we learned before and put it in the story,
here.

191
00:09:29.179 --> 00:09:30.179
Okay?

192
00:09:30.179 --> 00:09:32.979
Then we're going to go to the extra, where
I'll teach you a couple words that I know

193
00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:36.380
you want to know, but I didn't write down,
but those are the words you really wanted

194
00:09:36.380 --> 00:09:38.700
to know and that's
what you came for.

195
00:09:38.700 --> 00:09:39.900
And of course,
we'll go through the quote.

196
00:09:39.900 --> 00:09:40.900
So, you ready?

197
00:09:40.900 --> 00:09:41.900
Let's do this.

198
00:09:41.900 --> 00:09:50.019
So,
"I went to a party with my best..."

199
00:09:50.020 --> 00:09:52.020
What's another
word for "friend"?

200
00:09:52.020 --> 00:09:53.020
"Mate".

201
00:09:53.020 --> 00:09:56.980
"Me best mate."

202
00:09:56.980 --> 00:10:04.860
Now, "There were a few...

203
00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:08.460
Something that had been drinking a lot,
and they were proper something."

204
00:10:08.460 --> 00:10:22.540
I know you would have an option, here, but
what I wanted was this, and they were a proper

205
00:10:22.540 --> 00:10:23.540
what?

206
00:10:23.540 --> 00:10:27.500
If they were drinking a lot,
what would they be?

207
00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:32.019
Right, they were proper pissed.

208
00:10:32.020 --> 00:10:36.539
And remember, be careful, in America that
would be angry, but in England that would

209
00:10:36.540 --> 00:10:37.540
be drunk.

210
00:10:37.540 --> 00:10:38.540
So, we got "blokes".

211
00:10:38.540 --> 00:10:44.700
Now, you could have put "birds", but you know,
we're thinking the ladies are nice and respectful,

212
00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:50.820
but the boys got drunk, 21st century,
who knows, but let's go with this one.

213
00:10:50.820 --> 00:10:51.820
Next.

214
00:10:51.820 --> 00:10:55.780
"Tommy and I saw a real..."

215
00:10:55.780 --> 00:10:59.700
This is a tough one because there's
two words that could go here, right?

216
00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:01.120
What would you say?

217
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.860
Because she's in a nice dress,
so what do you...

218
00:11:04.860 --> 00:11:07.940
What would you
think it would be?

219
00:11:07.940 --> 00:11:09.980
Well you know she's in a dress,
so she's probably...

220
00:11:09.980 --> 00:11:15.300
The noun would be "bird", which would be girl
or woman, and what are your two options, here?

221
00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:16.820
What could you say?

222
00:11:16.820 --> 00:11:23.500
Well, I looked at this and said "nice dress",
and I would say she's posh, suspensive, nice

223
00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:24.500
dress.

224
00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:29.420
But you could also say, remember,
she's attractive, so she could be fit.

225
00:11:29.420 --> 00:11:36.260
She could be a fit bird in a nice dress, attractive
woman in a nice dress, or a classy woman in

226
00:11:36.260 --> 00:11:37.260
a nice dress.

227
00:11:37.260 --> 00:11:38.260
Right?

228
00:11:38.260 --> 00:11:39.260
Nice, expensive dress.

229
00:11:39.260 --> 00:11:40.260
Cool.

230
00:11:40.260 --> 00:11:41.260
Right?

231
00:11:41.260 --> 00:11:42.260
Let's do the next one.

232
00:11:42.260 --> 00:11:51.900
"Tommy asked the girl if she wanted to
dance, but she said no because she was what?"

233
00:11:51.900 --> 00:11:52.900
Could be many things.

234
00:11:52.900 --> 00:11:53.900
Right?

235
00:11:53.900 --> 00:11:54.900
Pissed.

236
00:11:54.900 --> 00:11:55.900
She was too drunk.

237
00:11:55.900 --> 00:11:56.900
Could be.

238
00:11:56.900 --> 00:11:57.900
Could be.

239
00:11:57.900 --> 00:12:01.580
Oh, she didn't say she didn't,
but I would say this.

240
00:12:01.580 --> 00:12:02.860
What would I say?

241
00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:03.860
She was knackered.

242
00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:07.860
She seemed like a nice girl,
right?

243
00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:08.860
She was knackered.

244
00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:12.940
Now, some of you bad people would say she
was pissed, she was too drunk to dance, and

245
00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:16.700
you could say that, but let's make
it a nice, clean story, shall we?

246
00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:19.820
"She gave Tommy her number
and asked him to call her."

247
00:12:19.820 --> 00:12:20.820
The end.

248
00:12:20.820 --> 00:12:21.820
I know, simple story, like...

249
00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:22.820
It's free.

250
00:12:22.820 --> 00:12:23.820
It's a free video.

251
00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:24.820
Okay?

252
00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:25.820
Simple story.

253
00:12:25.820 --> 00:12:26.820
There you go.

254
00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:28.260
You got your words.

255
00:12:28.260 --> 00:12:32.140
But now for the pièce de résistance,
the three words you were waiting for.

256
00:12:32.140 --> 00:12:33.140
All right.

257
00:12:33.140 --> 00:12:34.580
"Fancy a nice snog"?

258
00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:36.260
Could lead to a shag, eh?

259
00:12:36.260 --> 00:12:38.260
Hey, you, sod off.

260
00:12:38.260 --> 00:12:39.260
It's me girl.

261
00:12:39.260 --> 00:12:44.620
All right, so when we talk about "snog", this
word here, in America you might be confused

262
00:12:44.620 --> 00:12:46.460
with "smog",
like the urine's dirty.

263
00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:47.460
No.

264
00:12:47.460 --> 00:12:52.380
A "snog" is non-romantic kissing, so, you
know, you might use a little bit of tongue,

265
00:12:52.380 --> 00:12:53.380
the French method.

266
00:12:53.380 --> 00:12:54.380
Yes.

267
00:12:54.380 --> 00:12:55.380
Like this.

268
00:12:55.380 --> 00:12:56.380
Yes.

269
00:12:56.380 --> 00:12:57.380
Non-romantics.

270
00:12:57.380 --> 00:12:58.380
You know,
in the movies they're like...

271
00:12:58.380 --> 00:12:59.380
Oh, sorry.

272
00:12:59.380 --> 00:13:00.380
No, no, that's like...

273
00:13:00.380 --> 00:13:01.380
That's like...

274
00:13:01.380 --> 00:13:08.780
You know, the nasty stuff,
when you're drunk and you drink a lot.

275
00:13:08.780 --> 00:13:10.780
That's a "snog".

276
00:13:10.780 --> 00:13:12.179
"Shag".

277
00:13:12.179 --> 00:13:13.179
If you've watched...

278
00:13:13.179 --> 00:13:15.459
What was his name?

279
00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:16.460
It was a British...

280
00:13:16.460 --> 00:13:19.980
It was a Canadian who acted
like a British man, Austin Powers.

281
00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:22.380
He goes, "Shag, baby, yeah!"

282
00:13:22.380 --> 00:13:23.380
All right.

283
00:13:23.380 --> 00:13:28.300
In this case we're talking about
intercourse, sexual relations.

284
00:13:28.300 --> 00:13:32.020
As Clinton would say, "I did not
have sexual relations with that lady.

285
00:13:32.020 --> 00:13:33.020
I shagged."

286
00:13:33.020 --> 00:13:34.020
Okay?

287
00:13:34.020 --> 00:13:39.420
Now, here's a good one,
"Sod off, mate.

288
00:13:39.420 --> 00:13:40.580
Sod off."

289
00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:44.140
It's not a nice way, it's actually
a rude way of saying "get lost".

290
00:13:44.140 --> 00:13:45.540
In America you might say...

291
00:13:45.540 --> 00:13:47.580
It's sort of like
saying "eff off".

292
00:13:47.580 --> 00:13:48.580
Right?

293
00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:49.580
"Sod off, mate."

294
00:13:49.580 --> 00:13:52.940
Now, you could say it in a nice way, which
is like, "Sod off, you're joking, right?"

295
00:13:52.940 --> 00:13:56.219
Now, "get lost,
you're joking", that's not real.

296
00:13:56.220 --> 00:13:58.460
Or you can tell someone,
"Hey, it's me girl, there.

297
00:13:58.460 --> 00:13:59.460
Sod off."

298
00:13:59.460 --> 00:14:00.460
All right?

299
00:14:00.460 --> 00:14:01.460
"You and your mate,
sod off, leave here."

300
00:14:01.460 --> 00:14:05.500
And that means "get lost", and it's a very,
we would say, vulgar or not nice way of saying

301
00:14:05.500 --> 00:14:06.540
it.

302
00:14:06.540 --> 00:14:09.460
So now you've got three really cool
ways of speaking British and sounding cool.

303
00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:14.540
Next time you go to the pub or you're in America,
"Hello, Patricia, would you like to snog,

304
00:14:14.540 --> 00:14:15.540
eh?"

305
00:14:15.540 --> 00:14:18.340
And she tells you to "sod off",
just leave.

306
00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:19.340
You got it.

307
00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:20.340
She told you.

308
00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:25.899
Now, to have some fun, to practice, because if
you're learning, you know, you know American

309
00:14:25.900 --> 00:14:28.980
English, you want to practice British English,
best way to do it if you don't have a British

310
00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:30.380
friend is watch a British movie.

311
00:14:30.380 --> 00:14:32.780
I'm going to name some of
these ones that you might like.

312
00:14:32.780 --> 00:14:39.660
This one's really new, but it's Notting Hill,
Love Actually, some of my favourites, actually,

313
00:14:39.660 --> 00:14:41.260
and The Gentleman's pretty good.

314
00:14:41.260 --> 00:14:44.820
Watch those and come back and write in the
comments below what you think or what you

315
00:14:44.820 --> 00:14:46.140
didn't understand.

316
00:14:46.140 --> 00:14:47.340
You can put other words to it.

317
00:14:47.340 --> 00:14:48.340
What does this mean?

318
00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:49.340
Why do they say this?

319
00:14:49.340 --> 00:14:52.980
Like, "chips and crisps",
not what you think they are.

320
00:14:52.980 --> 00:14:53.980
Right?

321
00:14:53.980 --> 00:14:54.980
You want some chips in England?

322
00:14:54.980 --> 00:14:57.860
It's not the same as what you're going to
get in America, and I'm going to be happy

323
00:14:57.860 --> 00:14:59.380
to help you with those ones.

324
00:14:59.380 --> 00:15:00.380
Okay?

325
00:15:00.380 --> 00:15:06.780
Anyway, we have a couple of people on engVid,
like Jade, Benjamin, and I'm probably forgetting

326
00:15:06.780 --> 00:15:07.780
one.

327
00:15:07.780 --> 00:15:10.660
Don't kill me, but you can always
leave a comment going "Don't forget me!"

328
00:15:10.660 --> 00:15:13.700
Jill, I think it's Jill or Gil,
yeah.

329
00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:16.540
Check out their videos,
they're British.

330
00:15:16.540 --> 00:15:19.540
So on engVid, you can... like, you come
here, you come to the home of English, man.

331
00:15:19.540 --> 00:15:22.540
We got Americans,
we got Canadians, we got Brits.

332
00:15:22.540 --> 00:15:23.540
All right?

00:15:23.540 --> 00:15:25.660
Check out their channels on
our station and you can learn.

00:15:25.660 --> 00:15:27.820
So yeah,
that's what I mean to say.

Go watch those guys on
engVid and come see me again.

Have some more
interesting lessons for you.

00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:40.220
Anyway, that's all.

00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:41.220
Ta-ta.

Right.

Got to sort off now.

00:15:45.220 --> 00:15:46.220
Right?

346
00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:47.660
