Hi guys!
Hello!
Do you like the UK(United Kingdom)?
Yes!
Because it’s always like raining, and cold, and nice.
British food itself is like a lot of...
Like roast dinner…
That sounds great!
For me, it’s probably one of my like...
Most up there locations to travel to.
Yes, they have Harry Potter!
Spice girls!
Do you watch any British shows or movies?
Yes!
Doctor Who.
The IT Crowd.
Coupling. I love Coupling.
My Mad Fat Diary.
Do you know of any British slangs?
I only know the Harry Potter’s “bloody hell”.
On today’s episode of Singaporeans Try,
we will be guessing British slangs.
I’m ready!
Eating irons.
Orh...
Do you know?
Somebody who eats a lot of steak.
Because you know the steak, they cook it on iron.
Is it the Singaporean slang,
where you say jiak zua (eat snake).
Or like, eat snake.
A person who eats a lot.
You want to eat the element is it?
I know!
Protein.
There is a person called Jeremy Irons,
so is it cannibalism?
Can I have it in a sentence?
Do we have any clean eating irons?
Healthy…
Utensils!
Eating irons...
Yes! Yes!
Cutleries!
Yes!
I got it first.
I got it first!
Oh yah, that makes sense.
Irons that you eat with.
Yah.
Eh! You should belt up leh.
Buckle up guys!
No, when you driving the car right…
Then just like “Let’s get belt up!”
Or wear the pants damn high, like...
Let’s belt up!
And then like until here.
Getting spanked.
Belt up then like...
Oh belt up! I’m trying to concentrate here.
Belt up! Shut up!
Why would you put a belt on your mouth?
A person who has no principles.
Because the legs are the foundation of the body.
Is it like spineless?
Like you have no backbone,
you don’t stand for something.
I was absolutely legless at the club.
Riot! Drunk!
Drunk! Drunk!
Wasted! Drunk!
Producer: Yes!
When you’re drunk, you cannot dance properly.
Then you’ll just like…
So you use your arms only!
Bog roll! Dog roll.
The UK version of spring roll.
Is it the act of rolling…
Down the hill.
Sausage?
Because chicken make the sound “Bok bok! Bok bok!”
I feel like bog is pig.
Because you know the word hog.
Then you associate rolling around with pigs.
Yah!
Ok, can we have a hint?
Bog roll is two words right?
One of the word remains the same.
Is it toilet paper?
Producer: Yes.
Is it toilet paper? Toilet paper roll?
Producer: Yes!
You know why? Because I just used it just now.
I know!
Booger.
Eraser.
It’s a stack of coins.
Producer: One of the word remains the same!
I know, bean bag!
Whiteboard!
Producer: One of the word remains the same!
Hey you! Wag off!
Oh!
Is it like the UK version of twerking?
Is it vulgar?
Get lost!
It’s this action.
Don’t wag off at me!
I’m wagging off from school tomorrow.
Do you want to join me?
Oh! Taking cab.
Ponteng (Play truant).
Running away from work.
Playing truant.
Producer: Yes!
Yes!
Barging through a crowd.
Like the aunty like...
Is it a ship?
Argy-bargy coming through.
Very aggressive situation.
A fight!
A gang fight, fight...
An argument!
Producer: Yes!
You fight with words -
So you hurt the soul.
Producer: Which is called what, in English?
Fight with words... you swear at the person.
Producer: No!
I’m getting the ‘argy’ is for argument, right?
And then ‘bargy’ is what?
Oh! They just barge in and scold people.
Verbal abusement!
Commotion!
Producer: What were you both doing?
We were arguing.
Argument!
Producer: We will give zero for this.
See lah! You piss off the producers some more lah!
Gobsmack! Gobsmack!
Kiss!
Someone kiss you.
Oh! I’ve heard this before.
It’s a sweet.
No, that is Gobstopper.
Surprised!
Are you gobsmacked that I got it right?
Shock!
Surprised!
I’m absolutely gobsmacked.
Gobsmack - Shocked!
Producer: Yes!
I think the goblin smacked them, then they…
I don’t give a damn.
I thought of a cow.
Call for service.
Ice cream man!
Oh! You notify a person that you are here.
Send a message.
Send a text message.
Send me Whatsapp.
Telegram.
Call? Call someone. Give him a bell.
Call someone?
Give a damn.
Is it call me?
Telephone.
Telephone!
Give me a call!
Producer: Oh my God!
Oh my God! That’s damn gross!
Is it egg?
What the hell is this?
What is this?
Oh no!
It is actually mushy peas. I’m not eating that.
It is marmite and mushy peas.
Do they even eat this?
No, they don’t eat it like this.
They eat it separately.
Half lah.
It smells okay lah.
Yah, it smells okay.
But the peas…
This is for you Nat.
Oh my God! Don’t face it towards me!
What the f***!
Really Chris…
Their slangs are not straightforward,
so it’s not easy to grasp on to.
The way they phrase it is about the same as us.
Like give a call, give a bell.
I never really heard of the ones we just got tested on.
People don’t use it in real life.
But I’ve read a few before.
Like the old British books, like ‘argy-bargy’.
Some very simple ones maybe.
But not in like common speech. But they don’t use it on television shows as well.
It’s not like common speech.
Belt up.
Eh, you belt up ah!
Oh my god, yes! I love it!
I like gobsmack.
It’s more impactful than I’m shocked.
Argy-bargy is my favourite.
Just because it sounds so cute.
Next time when I see people fighting…
Oh! They are having a little argy-bargy.
