- Hi everyone, I'm Maya Jama.
And today I'm going to be quizzed on Bristolian phrases.
errrrr
(upbeat music)
Bristol is my hometown. It is lit.
I love Bristol.
I literally fly the flag at any opportunity,
just because I think it's the land of the people.
Like, we're a good time.
Everybody I meet from Bristol is just good vibes
or like, you know, a decent person most of the time.
And it was a nice place to grow up.
I felt safe. We had fun.
There was culture, music
like I could walk everywhere,
I didn't have to take the train,
or the bus, really ever.
We just would walk for hours if we had to.
And it was just fun.
I think for outside of Bristol people,
I always say, if they're around my age range
I'm like, growing up, it was kind of like Skins
if they're older or younger
and they don't get the Skins reference,
I'm like, probably most of the people
that you see at festivals are from Bristol.
( Maya laughs)
Yeah, that's the vibe,
but, I love it.
Alright my lover?
That is, hi, you ok?
Hello, how are you doing?
I'm not sure why my lover is in there.
Why everybody's your lover,
I think it's just a nice
like it I mean it's a warm way to say,
you're alright?
Alright my lover?
Like it's, even if you don't know that person
and you've never seen them before,
being called your lover is like,
aaah, you know?
It's an instant nice thing
rather than an are you ok?
The warmness of the Bristolians, we're friendly people haha
Sabbit 'arsh innit
That is (laughs)
That's so jokes that that's in there
'cause I actually say that myself
sabbit 'arsh innit
I don't know if that was just like
an actual phrase in itself
or just like the way that we say
hey, that's a bit harsh.
Like, don't be mean,
basically, its a bit harsh.
Like if someone was like, ah, I hate your fringe
You'd be like, ah sabbit 'arsh innit
Why don't you just say you didn't like the style
I cut it today,
Yeah, its a bit harsh
These macky jaspers all over me Fatchers, mind. (laughs)
Mackey jaspers
So, Fatchers is a cider, so I know that,
we love cider in Bristol, so.
Okay, Fatchers cider,
but macky jaspers, I aint heard that one.
There's levels to this Bristonian shit as well,
like I'm from St Paul's and then Montpelier,
or Cottom where I moved after,
and then you've got like, Noel West and like proper eerrr
like it depends where you go to get that level of errrr
So maybe they know about macky Jasper.
I don't know macky jasper's.
Give us a drag on that raggy
Okay, so a drag is a toke, a pull a
(imitates smoking)
and a raggy I think is rollup,
even though me and my friends would call it a rozza
but that's just me,
that's our friend group, like, give it, give me a drag
on the rozza, so can I have a pull on your cigarette?
Ee, fancy dappin' down pub?
Standard, do you feel like going to the pub?
I think, I dunno
pub culture just for British people
is massive anyway but for Bristolians
I just feel like it runs deeper.
I remember moving to London and people
like, go to the pub? and yeah I go to the pub regular.
I slowed down a bit in my London life,
Cause I moved and I haven't got my spot
but, love a pub.
Gloucester road in Bristol, great pubs
Buree is from Wells, muh would have an eadfit
Buree is from wells
Okay. So I don't know who Barry is, but someone's from Wales
I don't, I mean I don't really understand the first bit
but muh is: mum would have an eadfit,
Would have a head fit - would be fuming.
Our muh - mum, muh would have an ed fit
But whose Buree?
Jew knows ee? Jew knows ee?
Oh yeah, do you know him?

Jew knows ee?

Slush? dunno, lush is like lovely, nice
or lush, slush, slush puppie slush

It's lush.
