why we don't use this one more often is
beyond me i mean don't you
always want to reference being on the
phone is to have a tinkle on the blower
i know that i do hey guys i'm lilly
collins and i'm going to be teaching you
a little bit of british slang
lippy so when you're lippy it means
you're mouthing off to someone and
giving them a little bit of a hard time
i used to be pretty lippy i could say
that i was i i could be a little lippy
as a kid
it's kind of a cool word i like to use
that one actually all right bezel
bezel is to go for a bezel is to go for
a drink so people will reference it more
like
after work you want to go for a bezel
down by the pub
blub blub is to swell
to be like swollen this word is really
good because it actually sounds exactly
as it looks and as the word would seem
like blubber
easy to remember to be cream knackered
means to be
totally exhausted oh full of beans
my dad used to say that i was full of
beans which
could kind of mean a lot of things if
you think about it
but full of beans means like full of
life full of energy
yeah as a kid i was always full of beans
and i also used to say that to my little
brothers
which they thought was just hilarious
because like what kid wants to be told
they're full of beans
waist man waist man is
someone who's like super lazy so like a
waste man could be cream knackered
all the time because they're basically
not doing anything
they are not full of beans i'll tell you
that much
our kid our kid is usually referenced i
guess you could say
when it's like oh our like younger
friend
our boy our dude um kind of like a term
of endearment
it's kind of like comparable to the
younger sibling of a friend of yours or
something so like
oh yeah that's just like our kid y-i
means
yes just another wave of saying uh well
yeah
botched we like this word this is a fun
word to say
botched is when something gets just
completely ruined
when you've botched your homework you've
botched a job
if you dye your hair the wrong color you
botched that hair dye
there's a lot of ways you can use botch
it's really i like this one it's one of
my favorites
ledge i mean who doesn't want to be
called a ledge
just another word of saying legend just
the abbreviated version of
wazok which is basically a stupid
person someone that just doesn't really
know what's going on
sorted all right when you're sorted
you've got it all
figured out you want to be someone who's
sorted has it all together
tied in a little bow and is very very
organized and has it going on
splash out now i also used to use this
one a lot when i was growing up
in england and also i still use it to
splash out is to like go
all out to have fun to kind of go
without limits to just like go on splash
out
spend that money go out with your
friends have that extra drink
enjoy yourself i guess rao um to have a
rouse to have a fight
to have an argument you don't want to
have a row although you could probably
have a couple rows if you really
splashed out that one night
fancy i still use this one all the time
and i get made fun of because people go
that's just very british and fancy of
you to say
um but to fancy something is to really
to like
like what do you what are you fancy
doing tonight what would be your
preference what do you want to do
another way of using it is to say that i
really fancy him or i really fancy her
it's a romantic term of having a crush
on someone or finding someone attractive
and then if you really fancy that person
you want to chat them up you want to
start talking to them you want to flirt
you want to figure them out so that's
perfect segue
lush lush can be referenced to a person
say that that person is lush like he's
so lush she's so attractive i fancy him
and i want to chat him up
lush can also just mean like divine and
yummy and lovely and you can describe a
couch as lush
you can describe a beauty product as
lush
a place is lush it's anything that you
just really really
find to be decadent and lovely and
something that you want to do
somewhere you want to go or something
that you want to have
cheeky also something that i used to be
called and i could probably still recall
this at times
cheeky is someone that is like
sassy and fun and
has kind of a sarcastic tone sometimes
and is a little mischievous fit
fit is okay fit is describing a person
when they're gorgeous handsome
pretty you're into them they're lush
they're fit
you fancy them you want to chat them up
all these words can all be described
in a very similar way you want to do all
of these things when you find that
someone is fit
so randy is in reference to being like
turned on so if someone is fit and lush
and you fancy them they might make you
randy you might
randy is is you are you are now into
them you are turned on
a few sandwiches short of a picnic is a
really
nice and funny way of telling someone
that they're just not
quite smart they're just a little bit
shy they're uh they're
not the sharpest tool in the toolbox if
you will
to pull a blinder is to do something
skillfully
but without really having to try so it's
either out of luck or pure skill
so we all remember those kids in school
that could just like pull a blinder and
get an a on a test and make it look
really really easy but they were just
really good at that subject
it was always pretty annoying but uh

boot like what are you talking about

time and see what people's reactions are
