hi there I'm Freddie Highmore I am
British and this is British slang with
me reading primal ting ting I mean I've
heard people say painting I don't
usually say painting myself and all have
either been called painting I think yes
attractive in some way usually probably
females but you know if someone said
painting to me I guess I say thank you
all to part it's all gone wrong it's
it's it's really bad not very good at
all pot would be toilet in the sense of
for a kid maybe that's it maybe it's all
two part altar pot owners who've gone
down the loo minging just like yeah yuck
horrible it's just minging don't like
that one throwing a wobbly throwing a
wobbly is having a tantrum or having a
bit of a moment having a moment there's
another definitely British phrase that
we'd use or he's having a moment he's
throwing a wobbly Kip I keep his nap
taking that up have a Kip Josh Josh's
money thus this is definitely more use
than painting any cash that you've got
on you is just I all could you lend me
some dosh snog to kiss just someone make
out with someone but maybe also like
your auntie might say it you're like oh
give me a snog it was sort of like I'm
not quite sure I want to but yeah okay I
will bits and bobs like odd things that
you might have around the house or a few
things that you need to take care of
it's like oh you busy this afternoon
I've just got a few bits and bobs to
take care of bits and bobs is very
common
yeah a few bits and bobs does it sound
too funny to be used by by Americans you
should use this one please have a
butcher's I think this one is cockney
rhyming slang so a butcher's hook being
a look so you like take a butcher's at
something if you're having a look at
something cockney rhyming slang
originated in London in the East End and
this would be like the perfect example
of have a butcher's hook something that
rhymes with hook and you're replacing it
with butcher's hook but then often what
happens is the actual rhyming word
itself ends up being dropped so then you
were just left with have a book
and you're like how is this company
running slow but it is I promise jamming
my dad uses this one a lot your jammy
you're in life you're really lucky and
maybe it's just him or maybe everyone
usually extends it as jammie Dodger
we've got these little biscuits like
cookie things in the UK do you have them
in America maybe not and you know you
don't know anything
anorak I guess this is one of many items
of clothing that Americans don't have
will have a different name for but it's
like a raincoat or a Mac do you have Mac
we have lots of different names for
raincoats in the UK I think it's just
always raining and so we've developed so
many different versions gormless this is
a good one I like this word gormless
someone who's just a bit you kind of
like stare off into space and you don't
really have much going for you and
you're a little bit dull and boring
sixes and sevens is all over the place
if it's all going wrong you're at sixes
and sevens I would definitely use it in
a football game at a soccer game like
the attack are doing really well and
they keep scoring loads of goals and the
defense is just being really really
rubbish then you could say the defense
is at sixes and sevens they're all over
the place they don't know what they're
doing on your bike yet
off with you like piss off go away but
again in a jokey way I think if you're
actually angry with someone and having a
real argument you wouldn't end it by
screaming at the top of your voice on
your bike it's kind of like oh come on
like you know go away mate thank you
very much for watching this hopefully
this was somewhat useful thank you
cheerio bye
