hi everyone I'm Jade and what I'm
telling you today is some expressions
and sayings and insults words that kids
use in British English or at least they
did when I was a kid so I'm just telling
you some of the things that I remember
saying about kids and doesn't show me
you know they can be quite mean can't
they in a funny way but they can also be
quite mean so let me tell you some of
the things that we used to say to each
other when I was at school so if you
want to insult someone you're in the
playground
you could call somebody a soap Dodger
what's a soap Dodger I hear you ask a
soap Dodger someone who doesn't wash is
a dirty unclean person if you dodge
something it means like you like run
away from it run away from it so a soap
Dodger runs away from being clean and
washing Ming er minger is actually a new
word I don't think we had this when I
was at school but it's childish it means
ugly person like oh yeah Ming ER or this
one's really bad actually I don't agree
with this one sometimes people say
ginger minger and ginger someone with
red hair that's really mean about people
with ginger hair do means stupid person
oh shut up you div go away you div
weirdo strange person I'm not talking to
you you're a weirdo no go away kids like
to say go away a lot so I'll be
repeating that frequently throughout
this lesson and this will tell you
something about British called British
culture I think because it's an insult
for you to study and try to do your best
basically so somebody at school who
actually cares and does their work well
that person is called a try-hard and
that's seen as a bad thing it to be cool
to try Howard probably maybe in your
country that's a good thing you try hard
well done in Britain it's like no see
there's a good thing to be good without
trying to be kind of lazy but
reason working hard is a is not a good
thing and this did applied to me when I
was at school but I wear contact lenses
now I was a four eyes for eyes person I
wore glasses but actually when I was at
school I don't remember this anybody
ever calling me four eyes so I was okay
I survived a a couple of other mean
things kids say now you might be cool
you might call someone a loser if
they're the kind of person you wouldn't
want to be friends with like they don't
do anything good they're like uncle and
really sad to say it they're a pathetic
person that's so mean and horrible but
that's what kids say you might also be a
loner someone with no friends then
you're called a loner now it doesn't
feel very good if you're at school
either also we use this adjective sad
someone's sad if they're just like not
cool and they're wearing like saying the
wrong things wearing the wrong things
you can say that person's sad what do
you do if somebody calls you a ginger
Ming a div well you can come back at
them with this you can say I'm rubber
and you're glue
whatever you say bounces off of me and
sticks to you
and that way like their words can their
words can't hurt you and then they'll
just be like really embarrassed they'll
be shamed with your come back here let's
have a look at more general childish
expressions now moving on a little bit
from the insults staying there but
slowly moving away from it
kids are fond of saying this your mom
it just doesn't you can say it to
anything and somebody insults you you
can say your mom or you don't think
they're funny or whatever or you
disagree with them you can say your mom
or if you don't want to listen to
someone you don't listen to their
insults you can say shut your gob shut
your trap
or shut your cakehole they're all the
same thing so that's your that could be
your goal but that could be your trap or
it could be your cakehole in goes the
cake because you've got a big mouth kids
are really fond of telling other people
to go away as I mentioned before so here
are two ways to do it you can tell them
to get lost not listening to you anymore
get lost or you can simply say do one
that also means the same thing get out
of here and then as a reply you can say
I find this one it's got that childish
irritating quality to it which I quite
like don't get your knickers in a twist
and your knickers are like the underwear
that women wear so don't yeah don't get
stressed you know don't get your
knickers in a twist that can be a very
clever thing to say at the right moment
and if someone's being a bit stressed
with you you can say take a chill pill
that means relax and if you're if you're
good at saying any of these you do it in
the right tone it can be quite funny
some other things to mention here if
someone insults you or teases you or
says something you don't know what to
say
someone might say to you has cat got
your tongue that's what happens when you
don't know what to say when you like you
want to say something but nothing saying
you're not thinking of anything good
that's the situation for cats got your
tongue this one's particularly childish
liar liar pants on fire ha liar liar
pants on fire and that could be annoying
and that was for particularly young kids
I reckon you wouldn't really get away
with that in high school you might seem
a bit of the sad loser if you said that
in high school but it's alright for
little kids this one's quite cute if
something is easy to do you can say easy
peasy lemon squeezy it's done it's easy
and it seems that everybody knows this
one when you when you finished
what you do you can say see you later
