Thank you so much everybody for joining in with today's episode of the vlog
My name's Shaun and I'm a vlogger from Edinburgh right here in Scotland
I talk all about Scottish culture, and that kind of culture clash and
the significance in a global context and I really enjoy this relationship
I'm having with you guys in North America, for example, the United States of America and in today's video
I'm covering 10 words that you guys see quite commonly in United States of America
That are pretty rude or funny in the UK and I want to go through them and discuss them and it all stemmed from that
Tweet that I just showed you
Okay more about that in a little second because first of all, I just want to say welcome to everybody

Let's get on with this
pop-tarts
released this tweet quite innocently and if you don't know what pop-tarts are, they're the little things I when I was a kid actually
they're something in between toast and a dessert, and they're usually kind of filled with like chocolate and jam and stuff
You put them in the toaster. They get hot eat them. They made this tweet
The first time I saw I could me breathe for minutes afterwards. I was on the floor laughing
I had little tears rolling down my face this started
It gave me an idea for today's video, right because there are a lot of words
I didn't really realize until recently that you guys say in America
Commonly, that in the UK would make us laugh or are even rude at times.
Alright, and I'm gonna complete the challenge by filling my mouth with some water to see if I can look at it without laughing
i'm not sure this is a good idea
Okay
This is too much I can't even look at it. I can't look at it. I like my tarts
Where i like my money. in my f...
Oh
My word I just can't I can't hear it. I can't hear that word guys, honestly and
Quite recently because this is pop-tarts to us that made this tweet the word funny
The word funny why we're laughing so much
this is so mature of me, the word f... for you guys means like your waist area, right you guys will have a
fanny pack, which is that thing they're wearing in this tweet the funny part, right but
I've got a flu right now
I've got a cold and so when I laugh it sounds like I've been smoking every day for the last 20 years
Not the case. I've just got a cold. I need to put myself together. deep breaths
The word funny in English in
terms of the UK Great Britain and in particular Scotland where I'm from if you say f...
is kind of like a slang term that means
How can I explain this. female. I'm just gonna say it...
so mature of me
right, but honestly and when we say it in, Scotland
We use the word f... is a bit of an insult
Like if somebody is an idiot write, a really big idiot, you would call them a f... here in Scotland. around the UK
Probably wouldn't say that another part in England. I think it'd be extraordinarily rude to call somebody a funny
It's weird in Scotland as well
But we did do it anyway, because we're a foul-mouthed bunch here in Scotland, but put it this way. Finally.
Lightheartedly, I don't think if you're not from Scotland if you're American, you're used to seeing that word, but there you go
I've explained it means something entirely different here from America
So just bear that in mind when you come right let's move on to number two on the list. Here's another funny one, right?
Okay, I actually know somebody who's called this word. It's called this name and it's quite popular in America
Randy
Randy all right. Why is that so funny? Why are all these what's funny to me? I'm Scottish like this
So immature. for you guys
It's quite a normal name in America, right Randy. But and for in the UK in Scotland if you're Randy you're horny and
Yeah, it's actually
a wee bit of a posh way to say it but basically to break it down and that's what it is. If you're Randy you're horny
So it's a bit of an unfortunate word. If you're called Randy hands up if you're called Randy out there
Just don't tell your pals right there in the UK in Scotland for us
It means horny because you'll never hear the end of it right. But guys
Listen, it does go downhill here from here on them pretty fast. Right? Like I said, we're immature all these words
There are pretty rude and the UK in Scotland in general and I think it is valuable information for you guys to know
because a lot of you are coming to Scotland you're coming to the UK and all these words you might just say innocently and then
Have people laugh at you, and I wouldn't want that for you
at least now if you see them when you come to Scotland and you come to the UK and people laugh at you and you
Say these words you'll understand. Why right?
You'll not just think we're all just a bunch of people that laughing at your accent or something, right?
Okay, third on the list. MUFF. lol.
Don't know why so many of these words are translating to a certain Anatomy, right? Okay, but muff
Is another word
Which means?
exactly
The same thing is the first one that we talked about it f... and muff or one in the same thing for us
There are two descriptions of the word muff and United States of America
for example the word muff in the dictionary means
Tube made of fur or other warm material and to which hands are placed for warmth, right?
That is a muff Urban dictionary in the UK describes muff as an inoffensive slang word meaning...
Oh my we are an immature but really honestly
This is shocking number four in the last Trump, Trump is obviously the President of the United States of America
But it also has another meaning as well. Right? What does Trump mean for you guys the trump card?
I think it's probably pretty
universally known but I think that word is probably more significant to you guys in North America than as far as right Trump in the
UK in our language more this is more kind of posh English thing, right?
But we certainly in Scotland know what it means Trump means a fart. This is just a matter of fact
I'm giving you these words as like kind of an educational purpose the next one on the lists and
Again, we're getting kind of down and dirty here, right?
so what you guys could use quite a lot and I know this because somebody in America actually called me said that was
Honest please just don't say that when you come to the UK right don't come to Scotland say you're full of...
because that word translated means
means sea men. Okay. I'm not talking about the type of sea men that go off in a boat. number six
Shag. look in America. You would say shag means a carpet
a long haired wooly carpet or
Hair style maybe in the UK. I hate to break it to you
It doesn't mean a carpet. shag is basically coming together of two people and bedroom relations
Shall we say let's put it that way. I think you get the picture
I think like for example an
Austin Powers was quite popular in America also made by an American the BBC are not allowed to name that film right?
It's against the guidelines to name that film because of what that word means and for us in the UK, right?
Just be careful of that word shag when you see like a shaggy hair dog or something
Expect some laughter. bangs forgive me if I'm wrong
Right, but you guys think bangs is your fringe right for us. When you go for bangs you bang someone it's another act of
another one
Actually, this one's pretty universal. But I don't think you guys will have the same use of it as we do knob door knob
Right and definitely something you guys say a lot more than us
Because for us norm is also a word for
We've talked about tonight words have meaning significant meaning for females and they were talking about male
knob is a p... careful how you use the word knob plants, right? This one is
Not so much rude for us to be honest for you
But pants, you wouldn't go around to people saying oh, I like your pants. Don't do that
Please don't come here and tell somebody you like the pants, right?
Because when we say pants in the UK, we are explicitly talking about somebody's Underpants underweart
That is what we know pants is boxer shorts or all the other lists of pants that are out there
If you come here and you say the word pants anybody sees the word pants I'm talking about underwear and I know for you guys
Pants is basically like proud of any trousers right? So that is easily confused and is one
cautious off, okay
Don't go around complimenting people on their pants that could be taken very wrongly. You won't want to say that to the wrong person
That's for sure. Pull
He there's a very innocent word pull that we use very often in the English language across the world really pull the door open
Pull someone back from the edge and I think that's pretty much the only way that you guys would use the word pull
apart from like spell otherwise, but with the U in the middle, PU ll in the UK
There's a very specific slang really into the word pull
You're on the pull. For example
And that is when you're you're basically going out on the town and you're looking for a partner you're looking to get somebody to perhaps
Drink how we dance? A wee boogie?
You may even want to take them home
If you're out on the town with the explicit purpose that you want to find a partner. You're on the pull right? Okay
So lastly, let's finish this off of a light-hearted note, okay and all this from watching like American TV and stuff you will say
When referring to homeless people you call them bums, okay
I'm not sure if you use this any owner of our sense but for us a bum is very clearly and only relates to a
Bottom, okay, that could be very easily taken out of context. So anyway guys
Now it's a fun little video
I thought it would be interesting to connect share with you and like discuss some words you guys use in America
They are very different here and could be misconstrued
your meaning could be misconstrued and people might laugh at it because some of the words are rude or funny and
words that you use quite a lot over there and I know so many of you're coming to Scotland are coming to the UK to
Visit so it would be like informative and funny as well about of a cultural exchange like we've been doing on this channel
