Today we're gonna learn some British slang terms.
Let's talk about that.
♪(intro music)♪
Good Mythical Morning.
(British accent) So today we're taking the bus
across the pond to good old Blighty.
We'll teach this cheeky yanky some British slang.
(crew laughs)
Well that is an impeccable British accent.
I could have sworn that I'd transported across the pond.
Bloody right.
I think what you intended to say, 'cause it was so great,
is that you're going to challenge me in my knowledge of British slang.
(normal accent) Yes, I am. It's time to play,
(British accent) Do you fancy a cup of British slang, Governor?
(normal accent) Okay, Rhett, I'm gonna be giving you multiple choices
- Yeah. - To figure out what the
(British accent) British slang term means.
- So good! - (normal accent) and I'm gonna be using--
Well, you're gonna be using up to three lifelines
- Oh. - if you need some assistance.
Those are, (high British accent voice) Please sir,
I want some more. (normal accent) Which is, I give you a hint.
Oh, in that voice?
(high British accent voice) I will, yes.
(high voice) Okay. (normal voice) Thank you for that.
(British accent) You could ask the Queen's Guard.
- Really? We have one of them here? - Yes, We have the Queen's Guard, here.
- The production level on this show. - (normal accent) Or you can ask Alexa
to play some British music as an inspiration for you,
which I'm sure will be tremendously helpful.
- Are you ready for your first question? - Yes.
First, I must tell you, that if you get five of these right,
you win (British accent) a spot of tea.
The perfect British tea, that you can only get here in Los Angeles.
You gonna pour it right in here?
It's the most British tea you've ever tasted.
- Not Lipton. - (normal accent) No.
Okay.
Here we go, Rhett.
(British accent) This morning Eddie and Kevin shared an argy bargy.
(normal accent) Is that, a buttered muffin?
A heated confrontation?
An awkward encounter?
Or a soft delicate kiss?
Hmm, I don't spend a lot of time with Eddie and Kevin together,
so I don't know what they're up to.
But I'm sure it's soft and delicate.
- Yeah, whatever it is, it's soft and delicate. - Whatever it is.
Which is a good band name.
(British accent) Argy bargy. What is an argy bargy?
I am going to use my word skills. (laughs)
Argy: I think it's like an argument.
Argy-ment. Argument.
- So, I'm gonna say that-- - So you're saying buttered muffin?
I'm saying B, heated confrontation.
- That is correct. -(ringing bell sound)
- Woo! - This is a heated confrontation.
- (ding sound) - You're well on your way to that
(British accent) spot of perfect tea, Governor.
(Rhett and crew laugh)
Oh rubbish, today I was struck with a case of hard cheese.
Is hard cheese (normal accent) indigestion?
Bad luck?
Hemorrhoids?
Or nipples so cold they could cut glass?
That's a thing?
Nipples so cold, they could cut, cut glass.
It's like a song. Make it into a song.
♪Nipples so cold, they could cut, cut glass.♪
I'd rather not. You can do that.
♪I got nipples so cold, I could cut the glass.♪
♪Cut the glass. It's a Michael Jackson song.♪
Oh, it's an unreleased Michael Jackson song?
- Yeah. (laughs) - I wonder why he didn't release that one.
♪'Cause my nipples are cold.♪
Now hard cheese could cause hemorrhoids,
- especially if you didn't swallow it. - (crew laughs)
- I mean, if you didn't chew it. - Well, no, you gotta swallow it.
- Yeah. - (both laugh)
Just looking at hard cheese gives me hemorrhoids.
(British accent) Don't look at the hard cheese.
I think it's-- Indigestion can feel like
a piece of hard cheese in your chest.
So, I'm gonna go with A, Indigestion.
- (normal accent) Nope. - (buzzer sound)
- It's bad luck. - Really?
(high British accent) Hard cheese is bad luck.
(laughs)
(British accent) Me bloke, Pip Pemberton honked
in me kitchen last night.
- Eugh! Don't do that. - (laughs)
- That's what they-- - Yeah, that's what the Brits do.
I'm sorry, but I learned all of my British accents
from 'Pirates of the Caribbean', and 'Downtown Abby'.
- So it's either one or the other. - Right.
Is honked vomit? Blow your nose?
Fart?
Or ooze steak sauce from somewhere on your body?
- Hmm. - Where, I don't know.
And how, I don't know. But I'd like to talk to you,
if you can make it happen.
- Especially if I'm eating steak. - It might be the same hard nipples
that Michael Jackson had for the other song.
- (laughs) - There's another song
where steak sauce comes out of the nipples.
♪Nipples so soft the ooze steak sauce.♪
(laughs) Oh gosh!
♪Nipples so hard they could cut glass.♪
- ♪Nickles so--♪ - Okay, let's stop with that.
- Honked-- - I said nickels. Not nipples.
Yeah, yeah, that's another--
Blowing your nose often sounds like a honk,
- but, since I'm only one for two here, - It probably be too obvious.
I feel like I need a hint. I'm gonna go early and go often,
and I'm gonna get a hint.
(silly high voice) Is that Drake?
(Link) Is it Drake?
- (Rhett) Hmm. - Could that be Drake?
This is a throw-back to a previous episode,
in which we vomited Drake onto an Etch A Sketch board.
(normal voice) But, just for the record, we misspelled retch, there's no W.
- It's just R-E-T-C-H. - I knew that.
Vomit, A. Final answer.
- (ringing bell sound) - Good work, Rhett.
- Yes! - (ding sound)
You're well on your way to being British.
No you're not. This has nothing to do
- with getting citizenship. - It's not an application.
I'm already a part of their police system.
Here's another one.
(British accent) Reckon I got a bit of the ole cobble-- Colly--
- I said it wrong. I'm sorry. - (crew laughs)
Reckon I got a bit of the ole collywobbles on me honeymoon.
That Yakko. That's a good Yakko.
- (laughs) - Or Wakko, whichever--
- (normal accent) Or a Beatle. It's fine. - Yeah.
I was trying.
What are the collywobbles?
Extreme queasiness?
Intestinal gas?
Cold feet?
Or that thing when you eat asparagus and it makes you pee taste like cilantro.
- Taste? - Yeah.
- It's genetic. - Eugh!
- Collywobbles-- - Do you have it?
Yeah, but I don't taste the pee, I just smell it.
- You should taste it. - I do, I have the gene.
- Do you have the gene? - I have the gene.
You should smell my pee sometime.
(British accent) A bit of the old collywobbles.
Collywobbles on the honeymoon, I'm gonna say that that is--
Extreme queasiness and intestinal gas seem similar in some ways,
but cold feet, that happens before the honeymoon.
I'll go with extr--
Extreme queasiness.
- (normal accent) Final answer? - Yeah.
- You sure? - Yeah.
- Heh, you sure? - Yeah.
- (repeats) You sure? - (repeats) Yeah.
(whispers) Change it.
- (ringing bell sound) - Okay, you're right.
- (laughs) - Extreme queasiness is correct.
- What a jerk, man. What a jerk. - (ding sound)
(laughs) How am I a jerk? I'm just making sure
- you know your stuff, man. - Yeah, right. You wanted me--
- You gotta be firm. - You're telling me to change it, man.
(high British accent) Be careful where you walk,
you don't want to step on a Richard the Third.
Is a Richard the Third a puddle?
A turd? A slipping hazzard?
Or (normal accent) a mummified Egyptian cat penis.
- Oh! - (crew laughs)
- Which are common. - Yeah, I've stepped on a few of those.
- They're everywhere. - And they're not called Richard the Third.
Richard the Third, I believe, was a hated king,
which would mean that it would be logical to call a hated king, a turd.
And it's also cool, 'cause you can say, "Richard the turd."
- Well, it does rhyme. - Yeah.
Which might mean, that I made it up.
- B, turd. - (crew laughs)
You can't escape me, Link!
- (ringing bell sound) - Yes. Cockney rhyming slang
- dictates that it is turd. - (ding sound)
- Yes. (shouts) Woo! - You're right, Rhett.
- I'm happy for you. - (laughs)
- I'm happy-- - I can tell.
- (laughs) - I just gotta get one more right.
Just gotta get one more right.
(British accent) One time I saw Nigel Honeybottom eating a crusty dragon,
and I nearly honked in me mouth.
- (normal accent) What's a crusty dragon? - A crusty dragon?
Is it a crispy eye booger? A crispy nose booger?
A crispy toe booger? Or Puff the Magic Dragon's great grandpa?
(British accent) ♪Olly, the crusty dragon retired by the sea.♪
He still lives there, huh?
♪And he frolics in the old lady's dress cupboard, when they're...♪
♪Getting tea.♪
I'm not familiar with that one. That's not a Michael Jackson song.
No, it's not, but it should have been.
But, to get a little inspiration, and to help me on this question,
and to get that song out of my head, I am going to ask,
Alexa, play some British music.
(Amazon Echo) Shuffling British music.
♪(British Grenadiers)♪
- Alright. - I don't know if this is helping.
I'm inspired.
Okay, Alexa, stop.
Eye booger, nose booger, toe booger.
- Well-- - Dragon grandpa.
You eat-- You don't eat eye boogers or toe boog--
- What is a toe booger? - Toe jam.
You eat nose boogers.
But I made up the sentence,
and I like to eat all types of things off my body.
Okay, I'll roll the dice. A, eye booger.
- (buzzer sound) - No, it's nose booger.
(laughs) Oh!
Okay, well I still only gotta get one.
(British accent) Whenever I'm with Royston Bristwhistle,
he always takes the mickey.
(normal accent) Takes the mickey means to,
tease? Gossip?
Consume an illicit substance?
Or steal Mickey Mouse's pants from the Disneyland locker room
and wear them over you face on Space Mountain?
- Eugh! - He only has pants. He's naked.
'Cause I've got them. And I'm on Space Mountain.
(makes silly noise)
Thanks for the context.
So, are you going with that one? D?
No, I'm not going with D. You know what?
I'm going to ask the British-- The Royal Guard?
- ♪(British Grenadiers)♪ - I'm interested to see who we got here.
Hail the Royal Guard.
There he is. Ask him.
- He cannot speak. - This is gonna be awkward.
How do-- Excuse me, sir?
I believe it's just Chase.
Excuse me, Chase, you can drop the act.
Which one is it?
(whispers) A.
- He spoke. - (whispers) He said A. He said tease.
- So what's your answer? - He's never failed me.
(normal voice) So I'm going to go with A. Tease, for the win. Give me that tea now.
- (ringing bell sound) - Congratulations.
- Yes! - You are correct!
(British accent) Do you have the tea on you, sir?
- ♪(snare drums)♪ - (normal accent) No, he doesn't.
Alright, he's outta here. But, you know what?
Little wrinkled there, that's what I would say. Little wrinkled.
(British accent) I got one more for added measure.
- Okay. - It's fair to say that on a regular basis,
- I drop a clanger. - (both laugh)
(normal accent) Dropping a clanger means to,
A, say something embarrassing?
Or tell a story that goes nowhere?
Or break some bad news to someone?
Or D, Lose your grip on a cowbell.
That would be-- I'm gonna go with D on this one.
- (buzzer sound) - No, Rhett, it's say something embarrassing.
- I've never dropped my cowbell. - Oh.
But you still win the most amazing
(British accent) spot of tea from Los Angeles.
