- I don't know what this means,
but I feel chuffed right now. (laughs)
(classical music)
- Hello everyone. (laughs)
- Today we're going to try and guess
- British slang.
- [Voice Over] Chuffed.
- You just got chuffed. Like what?
- I think it means you're feeling, like, cocky,
or, like, boastful.
- [Voice Over] I'm so chuffed about tomorrow.
- I'm so excited for tomorrow. (ding)
- [Voice Over] Knackered.
- Its crazy to me how this is still English.
- This probably sounds so much cooler with the accent.
- I know.
- Sleepy? (ding)
'Cause I wanna nap? (laughs)
Cause I'm knackered.
- [Voice Over] Cuppa.
- Is it a cup?
- Like a cup of tea? (ding)
- Oh wow. (woman laughing)
- [Voice Over] Chin Wag
- Put, like, an N here. It'd be like "Chin Wang". (laughs)
- If you go like...
Is that a chin wag?
- Chin Wang? (laughs)
- Its not wang its wag.
- Don't (beep) with me. Chin wag.
- [Voice Over] I invited my friends out for a chin wag.
- You invite your friend out to talk shit. (ding)
- Ooh what? Really? - Talking shit. (laughs)
- Well, you got it.
- Yes, because I practice this. No, I'm just kidding.
- [Voice Over] Skint.
- Bloody skint.
- The T at the end makes it sound like you're, like, turnt.
(women laughing)
- I'm so skint.
- [Voice Over] Paul is skint,
and can't go out with his mates.
- I don't have any money. That's why, I know.
- [Girl With Glasses] No dinero.
- [Voice Over] Leg it.
- Not gonna lie,
but I thought it said legit at first (laughs)
but there's a space. (laughs)
- Accelerate the car?
- Or it could just mean I'm going to walk there.
- Oh, that sounds correct.
- Run. (ding)
- Really?
- Yay. - Yay.
- [Voice Over] Tosser.
- Tosser?
- I'm thinking of a salad, but it's not.
- It's, like, a douchebag. (ding)
Like, you're a tosser.
- [Voice Over] Nicked.
- Ooh, that sounds familiar.
- Isn't that, like, when you're shaving?
- [Voice Over] He nicked my bag at the pub last night.
- Stole. - Stole? (ding)
- Swiped it. - Snatched.
That tosser nicked my bag.
- [Voice Over] Pissed.
- I'm pretty familiar.
- You're pissing me off, right? (laughs)
- Is this, like, a trick question?
- This means you're wasted, drunk. (ding)
- I think it's so cool, 'cause it's, like,
the same language,
but so many different things that can come out of it.
- Do the brits say innit?
- Innit?
- Would you like a cup of tea, sweetie? Sweetheart?
- How do you use innit in that sentence?
- I'm trying. (laughs) I didn't get there.
(upbeat rock music plays)
- Hi, I'm Aishwarya, and I'm from Buzzfeed India.
- Hi, I'm Vishal and I'm from Buzzfeed India.
- Hi, I'm Aniket from Buzzfeed, India,
and today we are guessing some British slang.
Let's see how they are today.
(Paroma laughs) - Let's see how they are.
- I'm actually quite excited.
I feel like a lot of British slang
would be something that probably exists here as well,
because a lot of our culture
is taken from the British culture because of colonization.
- Yeah. I feel like British slang is so specific,
but sometimes with the accent, I'm like,
"Oh, maybe these are just normal words."
Like I wouldn't even realize it's slang (both laugh)
- Some cookies would be great, innit?
Some cookies would be great, innit?
- Are you just having a conversation with yourself now?
(Vishal laughs)
- All right. Let's get started.
- Yep. Let's do it.
(bright music playing)
- It said wagwan? (laughs)
- Wagwan. Wagwan, wagwan.
- That sounds like the Indian accent,
but I'm trying to go a little British and say wagwan.
(laughs)
- Bhagavan means God in Hindi.
(both laugh)
- That is wagwan also.
- It does sound like a vehicle to me.
I mean, I'm drawing from the Wagon R. (laughs)
- Yeah.
- I think wagwan is, like, a wagon, but, like, make it 2020.
- What? (laughs) That makes no sense.
- Wagwan. Wagwan.
Is it a dog? Wag?
(Aishwarya gasps)
- Ooh.
- I feel like wagwan just means, like, bull(bleep),
like, you know, how, like...
Like, I don't know.
Like, Oh my God, like, stop, like, wagwanning.
- I think I'm going to go with, like,
a mode of transportation. (laughs)
- I'll go with the dog.
(bright music)
- Oh, wagwan. What's going on.
I get it.
- Vishal, wagwan? - Wagwan, Aishwarya?
- Ooh, I like that, but I don't think I'll use it.
- Not into wagwan.
(bright music plays)
- Okay, I have two theories.
I feel clapped could be, like, hitched.
Like, when you get married you're like,
"Oh, he's clapped on to someone else."
Or it could mean you got an STD. (laughs)
- I think I know what clap means.
- Same. (Vishal laughs)
But I think they're trying to trick us, Vishal.
- Yeah. - It can't be that.
It is a trick question, innit? (Vishal laughs)
- I like how we're, like, assimilating into this.
- I think it, like, if you're bitchy to somebody
and then you're like, "Oh, she totally clapped on that."
Or, like, somebody says something.
- Ooh. - And you have a really,
like, snarky, like, very sassy answer to it.
- Oh, like clapped back.
- Like, a really nice comeback.
- Like you clapped back.
- Yeah, like clapped back, yeah.
- I clapped at him.
That means I did some trash talking about the other person.
- That is such a good guess.
(bright music)
- What? Clapped sounds so cheerful, you know?
Like, you're gonna, like, applaud somebody.
- Yeah.
- And you're like, oh no.
- That's why I've never heard it,
because no one said it to me. (both laugh)
(bright music)
- It can't be mint, like the mint that you eat,
but it still has, like, some correlation to it.
- Like, refreshing vibes.
- Like, that new song was so, like, fresh.
So, like, that was so mint.
- People see this a lot.
When they say it's a mint condition.
That means it's in good condition.
So I think mint either means perfect or good,
like, it's in good condition.
(bright music)
Oh, yay. This video is mint, then.
(bright music)
- Wasteman. Is this, like, someone who picks up trash?
Ooh, that's me. That's my dating though.
- I think a wasteman is somebody who's just, like,
wiling away their time, and not doing anything productive,
or not having their lives together.
Oh, like, a wasting away your life, man. Wasteman. (laughs)
(bright music)
- Okay, that's interesting. Wasteman is, like,
a summary of my life.
- Yeah. Not bad.
- It's like weirdly literal.
(bright music)
- Pish.
- Pish. - Pish. (laughs)
This is such a short word. - Pish.
- Pish. - Pish.
- Is it like, ooh. (gasps)
Pish is, like, when they say pish posh,
but I don't know what that means. (both laugh)
- Wagwan, pish? (both laugh) I don't know.
- Okay. Pish is a really poor fish. That's why it's pish.
I don't know.
(bright music)
- [Vishal] It's similar to what I said.
- No, it's not.
- I did say poor fish.
So, "Oh, that fish is so poor, it's pish."
- Vishal, I don't think that works that way.
No one's looking at a fish and saying that.
(bright music)
- It's a sound. Peng cannot be a slang.
Peng is a sound. Like, if you drop a ball, a bouncy ball.
It's, like, peng. That's the sound it makes.
- Is this, like, a euphemism for penis? (both laugh)
- I think, I think it would be, like, a pint,
or, like, a round of drinks or something.
Like, "Next peng's on me."
- Can you imagine anyone going to a bar and saying,
"Next peng's on me?" (both laugh)
- I think peng is short for penguin.
- Aww, that's cute. I hope it's that.
Can it be that?
(bright music)
- [Vishal] What? Peng means hot?
- Oh, I like that. That guy is peng.
- "You are so peng?" Eww. (laughs)
I would just be, like, no.
(bright music)
- Minging? Minging?
- Minging. - Min, min...
- Minging.
- I think minging.
Do you think maybe India got mingling from minging,
and we just, like, added an extra L just because we could?
- Minging could just be, like, at a party,
and platonic mingling, but minging,
or minging is, like, slightly sexual.
Like, mm. Minging.
- If somebody is flirting with someone.
- That one, I don't know. I'm drawing a blank.
(bright music)
- [Vishal] Oh, it's an adjective.
Look at me going into the technicalities. (Vishal laughs)
- ing always sounded like a verb, but it was a tense.
- So most things are negative.
There's not really, like, cheerful,
wholesome slang in Britain.
Wow, what a surprise.
(bright music)
- Mandem. - Mandem.
- Did you want to say madam and just put an m in it?
Oh, is it like madam, but for a man?
- That's exactly what I thought.
- Is that like kingdom, but for men?
Like, a bachelor pad? (laughs)
I don't know, like...
Yeah, let's go kingdom for men.
(bright music plays)
- Oh. - Oh.
- Like, I got that vibe, you know?
Like, they live with those dude bros. Like, that vibe.
(bright music plays)
- Oh, galdem. - That's so cute.
I love this. I'm going to use galdem.
- It should be a podcast. Like, girls discuss things.
Galdem.
(bright music plays)
- The literal meaning is, like, naked.
- Yeah, I feel like it's a bit much
to just assume that the slang one is also naked.
- Oh my God. It's like, someone was basic.
- Who is so bare? He is so bad.
- I think it's like, like sick.
Like, that night was so sick.
- Or it's the opposite.
- Yeah, like lit.
(bright music plays)
- [Aniket] That's the opposite of barely.
- That's not what bare means at all.
- Like, if someone says there were bare people at the party,
I'll be like, "Oh, I'm so sorry no one came to your party."
I wouldn't be like,
"There were too many people at the party."
Like, that makes no sense.
It is misleading. - It's misleading.
- This is clickbait.
(bright music plays)
- Hey, we know this. Fam. - Hey, we know this. Fam.
Fam is just like your, your, yeah.
Like, your homies. Like, it's family basically.
But, like, your homies, you know?
- Fam. - What's up, fam?
Sup, fam? It's all good, fam.
- Yeah, like, what's up, fam?
- I'm assuming it's the same one, right?
(bright music plays)
- [Vishal] We use this all the time though.
- Yes we do.
- I don't think they know that it's a UK slang though.
- For once, we are correct. - Yes.
We got this.
(bright music plays)
- Fit? - Fit, I know.
I know this.
- That means, like, really, yeah. Like, he's really fit.
That is, like, he's really hot.
- I think it's clothes.
It's new clothes, or he's got a great fit.
He's got some new fits
- Like, are you set for the party?
And you're like, yeah.
I have, yeah. Like, I ordered all the most, so yeah.
I'm fit. (Paroma laugh)
(bright music plays)
- I got it right. - Oh my god, no.
- It's like peng. - Like peng. (laughs)
So fit, peng.
- I would take fit over peng, though.
- Not that anyone's counting, but Vishal. I'm winning.
(happy music plays)
- I don't think I was really bad.
I mean, I didn't expect to perform any way, so.
- My performance on this video was quite pish. (laughs)
- Buzzfeed India's going to be a different place (laughs)
like, the next two weeks.
- [Aniket] That is true.
We'll just be, like, force fitting words everywhere.
- Go hang out with your mandem Aniket, or whatever.
- Vishal, you are peng, and never forget.
- I'm peng. What if people think that I'm pish or?
- So you don't need to worry about them.
- Or minging.
- Because you're peng, and that's all you need to remember.
(bright music plays)
- Is it a sexual term? Clamming?
It just sounds like something. (claps)
(both laugh)
(upbeat music plays)
- Hi, I'm Ashley,
and today we're going to be guessing Northern slang.
- The North? I don't know northern at all.
- Isn't that some Game of Thrones type thing? The North?
(Justin laughs)
- City in London, city in London. Wait, no.
A city in England? Wait. (both laugh)
- Manchester, Liverpool.
- And the Spice Girls.
Aren't they from Birmingham or Birmingham?
I don't know how to say it. - Wales? (crickets chirping)
Oh, my bad. (both laugh)
- [Voice Over] I'm taking my bins to the beach.
(Ashley laughs)
- I'm taking my bins... What would you take to the beach?
Your friends, your drinks? I don't know.
Your stuff?
- Bins. I took my bins with me.
Homies.
- Your shorts?
- Oh, that could be it.
- I'm gonna say friends on that one.
- It doesn't feel like friends to me.
I feel like it's drinks or something like that.
- You know what? I trust that.
Let's do drinks.
(upbeat music plays)
- Interesting. (both laughs)
- I'm gonna start saying that.
- [Voice Over] That football match was beltas.
- Crazy? - Yeah crazy, like insane.
- Like it was wild. Beltas.
- Energetic, lit, turnt. (Kojo laughs)
(upbeat music plays)
- That's a point yeah. That's one. (Justin laughs)
- [Voice Over] I got my test results back,
and I'm absolutely devoed.
- Tell me that's not short for devastated, bro.
- It has to be, right?
- Devastated?
- Yeah, I'll go devastated.
- Devastated? - Devastated.
(upbeat music plays)
- Such a quick mind, Jo.
- [Voice Over] I was on the phone to Sue,
and she started to blart.
- She's going off, like, she was yelling maybe?
Or maybe she was crying.
- I'm going to say talk a lot.
- It feels like chatting to me.
- Yeah, exactly. I think it is chatting.
- Like, chatting. Like, you speaking too much.
Or you're speaking nonsense.
- That means she began to get emotional.
- All right. We'll go emotional.
(upbeat music plays)
- Trust your boy. (Kojo laughs)
- Ah, I could see that. I could see that.
- [Voice Over] Oh, I got lost down a ginnel last night.
- Ginnel, ginnel, ginnel.
I got lost down a ginnel last night.
- Like, where would you get lost in?
That's what I'm trying to think.
- You can really get lost anywhere.
- Like, an alley?
- Yeah. Let's go alley.
(upbeat music plays)
(clapping)
- Yeah. Let's go.
- All right, we got three.
- Yo, I'm thinking tunnel, alley. Dang, yo.
- Oh my God.
Why were you in the alley to begin with?
(Idi laughs)
[Voice Over] I'm so clamming right now.
- Getting nervous?
- I think that makes sense.
When you're nervous, your hands get clammy.
- Clammy, yeah.
- I feel like I'm tight. Like, I'm so mad.
- Nah, it sounds like...
Is it a sexual term?
Clamming, it just sounds like something. (claps)
(both laugh)
- I'm either gonna go with sweating or high. (Justin laughs)
(upbeat music plays)
- How? (Ashley laughs)
- Clamming? They just say anything.
- Like, how?
- I'm clamming right now, too. I ain't gonna hold you.
Like, I'm really...
- [Voice Over] You're being such a mither, you are.
- I'm trying to think of people we work with.
I'mma be like, "Is this person a mither?" (Shy laughs)
- An idiot?
- Yeah, idiot might be it. Yeah, she was, like, kind of dumb
- Or someone who's in your business a lot.
- Or gossips.
- Okay. A gossip, yeah.
- A brat.
- Oh yeah, I'm gonna go with Jo, a brat.
(upbeat music plays)
- Oh my God. (Ashley laughs)
- Did we get any of these right?
(both laugh)
- I would consider a brat annoying.
- [Voice Over] Just had a chat with a random gadgie
on the bus.
- I think it might be an insult in some way.
Like, someone who's just acting out. That gadgie over there.
Someone I don't want to bother with. I don't know.
- That's a freak. (both laugh)
- I would say like a random teen. Like, a joint.
I don't know. That's what I would think it is.
- Yeah.
(upbeat music plays)
- Ugh. (Ashley laughs)
- I really want to know, like,
who comes up with this and how does it stick?
Yeah.
- [Voice Over] Bought some new trabs from the shops.
- Pants. I'm going to say pants.
- Okay. I'll go with pants. (both laugh)
- Sneakers?
- Nah, that's trainers, bro. Tennis shoes.
- Yes, but trainers are in the UK.
We're talking up North right now.
What if they call them trabs?
(upbeat music plays)
- Yes, Shyanne.
- I'm with you. Good answer.
- Shoes. Oh my God, okay.
- [Voice Over] Steve is a right slummock, he is.
- I want to say he's either a bum or a stoner.
- Slum, bum. (both laugh)
- Maybe someone who's lazy.
- I'm going to go with you and say lazy as well.
(upbeat music plays)
- Wow.
- Oh, he's a bum.
- He's a bum right there.
- [Voice Over] I was stuck on the netty all day.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Stuck on the netty. Uh, internet.
- It's either online or on, like, a bus or something.
- I either wanna say phone or toilet. (Ashley laughs)
(upbeat music plays)
(both laughs)
- Oh wow.
- Who agreed like, "Oh, that makes sense.
I'm going to say that too."
- Right. Let's just keep it going. (Idi laughs)
What?
- [Voice Over] Don't be a bloody pillock.
- Pillock.
- My brain is like, "Well, pillagers rob and steal,
so what are you? A thief?"
- Uh, an asshole?
- We already had annoying.
- An idiot. Uh, no.
- I mean, you might be right with that.
(upbeat music plays)
- Ah, yeah. (Justin laughs)
- So that's not like a wasteman?
My mom calls me a wasteman sometimes.
- Without the sentences,
I don't feel like I would have even gotten one of them.
- Yeah, without the sentences, I would've been zero.
- I think we did...
I think I did better than we expected, man. We did that.
- I would definitely be lost in translation in the north.
- Yep.
(upbeat music plays)
