Hi I'm Joel, and I'm Lia and today we're going to be talking about six things Americans say
which are rude in the UK.
First off, I'd like to apologise to Joel for my falafel breath.
Is that what that smell is?
Don't worry I've eaten the same things as you.
My halloumi breath and your falafel breath.
So before we start don't forget to click subscribe if you haven't already because we post videos
every single week and we wouldn't want you to miss out.
Imagine if you could smell a youtuber's breath.
Are you still thinking about your falafel breath?
Yeah.
If you could smell it then you would not subscribe.
I can't smell anything.
Ok good.
The other thing is that Joel and I also put out content everyday on our personal Instagram
pages, so these are the links to follow us there.
We also have a joint account which we will post in the middle here.
We regularly do instagram stories as well as posting videos etc.
So if anyone is interested in our lives outside of this channel, that is where to look.
Now on with the video.
I didn't realise that America and England are so different in terms of language use.
I did.
I'm kidding.
There are certain words that Americans say that they don't realise mean something very
different here in the UK.
So for example the first one is Cop.
Coppa feel.
In America, a cop just means a police man.
In the UK cop is used in the phrase to cop a feel.
Which means to squeeze (usually breasts or bum).
Can you say copped on?
You can't can you.
Coppa feel.
That's what an old man would say to a young girl at a bar and she'd be like no!
That was a really good little demo we did.
Thanks.
Yeah that was good.
Next one, it's not that rude but it just means something different.
The word Trump.
Trump, as in president Donald Trump?
In the UK, if someone says trump I obviously now think of president Trump but before that,
before I'd heard of him, that word just means fart.
Yeah.
It doesn't mean fart since Trump!
I remember hearing someone say, "oh is that since president Trump because you think he's
bad as a fart?".
No it's meant fart for years.
Since it existed.
Did you just trump?
It's sort of what you're taught to say as a child because fart is too rude.
So your parents say, thats a trump not a fart.
What are the other words for fart?
Passed wind?
Or pass wind?
A wind in the past or a passing of wind?
It's p-a-s-s.
Pump?
p-u-m-p.
Did you toot or pump?
I wouldn't say pump but, did you pump?
I'd never say it but these are just other things that kids are taught to call a fart.
Comment down below colloquialisms for fart.
I'm interested to know.
Trump, I don't think I, I hardly ever say it.
Just say fart.
Or bottom burp.
Oh I just did a bottom burp, oh!
A burp out of your bottom.
It's better than a mouth fart.
Thats gross.
Anyway so.
Are you more of a bottom burper or a mouth farter?
I do them both in equal amounts.
I'm very gassy.
I don't burp a lot.
No you don't.
Occasionally you'll do one and it's just a very tiny little [burps] Yeah and i'll be
sorry!
Yeah and i'll be like that's not a burp.
Thats not that bad.
I trump quite a lot.
But I try to take it outside of the room.
Unnoticed though don't you.
I try to hover in corners and just let one rip and then come back in.
Because I don't want everyone to smell it.
Ok.
Next.
Enough of that.
The next word that Americans sometimes use which we don't is spunky.
Can't even say it.
In America, I'm aware that, I think spunky, if you're spunky, you're like peppy and full
of life and sassy.
But spunk doesn't mean that here.
It means male ejaculation.
It means semen.
So if you call someone spunky it's not a very nice thing to say.
I'd hate to be called spunky.
Can you imagine?
[Lia does impression]
I'd be like I'm not a slut.
Is that an eastern European accent?
Yeah exactly.
Yeah thats Eastern European, because they learnt an American English accent.
Yeah!
So don't call British people spunky because it won't go down well.
You'll probably get a face like this.
How many of you actually say that in America?
Do you use that word?
I'd like to know.
I remember one of my beanie babies was called spunky.
You know they had the name in it.
It was a dog called spunky.
I just thought it was weird.
[Echoing] "I just thought it was weird"
It just came out so funny.
Do your Teresa May (impression)
[Joel does Teresa May]
It doesn't even sound like her.
I'm getting sweaty.
It's the thought of the word spunky.
Calm down babes.
Ok the next word is also a bit rude.
Ok we are on word number three.
Lets go!
Randy.
That is a name in America.
Lots of boys are called Randy which is just hilarious!
Do you remember Randall from Recess?
(Tv show) Randall!
Loved that show.
Randy means, over here, horny.
Yeah.
Whereas lots of American boys are called Randy and it's weird that it's a name to us that's
odd.
You're called horny?
Is it also a describing word in the US?
Or is it just a name?
We'll soon find out in the comments.
I'm sure you'll all make your opinions heard.
So much subtext.
We get a lot of hate lately.
We just don't care.
Been deleting it.
My favourite word which Americans use is fanny.
Fanny means vagina.
Obviously.
It doesn't mean bum.
Is that what they think it means?
Your fanny pack.
Yeah it means bum bag.
Fanny means vagina.
Also I like, no thats not a name.
I was going to say I used to call one of my friends Fanny but that was because they are
called Francesca, and I called them Fran, Franny.
Then I dropped the R and called them Fanny.
So that was actually bullying.
Yeah.
Now I think about it.
It's probably bullying.
That might be why they don't talk to me anymore.
Now I think about it!
That makes a lot of sense.
Too funny, oh my gosh.
You're cracking me up today.
I know it's hilarious.
I love it when he cracks me up.
The final word which we use quite a lot is the word thick.
So in America thick means, the actual meaning of thick.
Large, thickness of something.
Wide and large and meaty.
Yes thats a thick blanket, for example.
Whereas here, it means stupid.
Dumb.
You're so thick.
We might even say thick (pronounced fick) that means someone's FICK.
Next level dumb.
Because you're saying it the way they would say it.
Fick.
As a last minute one, we just did an Instagram live on our joint Instagram which is another
reason to go follow us on Instagram and I think this person was from America, and they
said what does the word 'grim' mean?
Grim.
Yeah.
Grim means gross.
Not gross, grim is a bit different to gross.
The weather can be grim.
Rainy and cloudy so it's not necessarily gross it's just not ideal.
You can deal with grim but you'd rather it not be.
Whereas if somethings gross you might not go near it.
You could be in someones house and be like oh this is grim.
So grim.
If you're slightly posh you might pronounce it grum.
Thats so grum (grim).
We're really good at that.
[Joel and Lia do their impression]
Perfect!
So that was six words that you say in America that are a bit rude here in the UK.
Plus an extra one that isn't rude, is just fact.
