- Hi ITV, this is my audition for Love Island UK.
- Hello poppet!
("God Save the Queen")
- Today, we're guessin'
British slang. - British slang!
In a British accent.
- The ho--. - That's not part of it.
- The host, yeah. - We just wanna do that,
- Sorry.
- British slang is a bit bonkers though.
Like Australian slang,
like some of it-- - Yeah.
- Is just like, is that a made-up word,
is that real?
- I've just heard Ryan's British accent
and it is (horn) terrible.
So I think his guessing, it gonna be about as good
as his accent.
- I'm Lisa and I'm from a little town called Wigan
that's in the middle of Manchester and Liverpool.
- And my name's Evelyn and I'm from a little town
most people don't know called London.
(laughing) We don't even talk the same
language and we're from
the same country. - No, we really don't.
- All right.
- Lush.
- Look.
- That's lush. - That's lush.
- Lush is like nice right?
- Yeah, like premium. - Yeah,
like proper lush. - Yeah.
- Like ooo.
- That's lush! - That's lush!
- You are lush.
- Oh my god, thank you.
- I think it's like really good, really nice,
really fancy like ooo lush.
- So lush. - Lush.
(laughing)
- Lush.
- Oh she's a lush and she likes a wine.
- What does that mean?
Uh. - Yeah she likes a wine
basically, but we also say that's lush.
- Yeah. - As in we really like it.
- Yes, okay, yeah. - Yes, okay, yeah.
- We got that, easy. - Easy.
- Ooo. - What?! (laughing)
- Allow it.
Like I'll allow that to happen?
- I though it was alo it.
- Alo it (laughing). - Alo it (laughing).
- I'll allow it. - I'll allow it.
- Wait if this is slang does that mean that that means
something totally different?
- Do you think it means like I'll allow it?
- No! - Okay (laughing).
- I don't!
- Okay if I say it in a British accent.
(laughing)
- Maybe it's like something like to do with drunk,
British people love getting drunk.
- I think this is more of like a southern England term.
Yeah, allow it, it's fine, like it's cool,
like don't worry about it. - It's cool.
- Yeah.
- It's a bit more like street term I suppose.
- Oh!
- That makes no sense.
- Literally no sense. - That literally means
the opposite.
- (laughing) Yeah.
- Clapped.
- Clapped!
Oh my god, my UK cousin told me about
this one. - Oh my god!
- Oh my god but I forgot!
- Like clap back? - Like is it,
like you're tired maybe?
Like a more clapped-- - Clapped out?
- Clapped out?
- Not chlamydia.
- (laughing) That's what my mind went straight to.
- I think that means cooked.
- Oh, it's cooked. - It's cooked.
- You're in the middle of the desert,
your car's broken down and you have no water.
There's no one around, you're probably gonna die,
clapped.
- Clapped!
- Bit of a controversial one.
I think it means that you're not the most aesthetically
pleasing maybe? (laughing)
- Fugly basically. (laughing)
You are fugly.
- Yeah it's not something that we, you or I
would use I don't think but maybe boys might use it,
nasty boys talking about an ex-girlfriend.
- Or nasty girls.
- Oh my god that's so mean!
- No we would never say that.
- You're clapped. (laughing)
- Mug off!
- Mug off! - Mug off!
- Mug off mate! - (horn) Mug off right?
- Mug off mate!
- Like get out of my face. - Yeah, exactly.
- Mug is your face, right?. - Yeah mug is face, yeah.
- So-- - Or a cup of tea.
- Mug off love.
(laughing)
- Oh mug off! (laughing)
It's so fun! (laughing)
- So mug off is like yeah don't take the piss out of me,
don't take advantage of me. - Yeah.
- Don't mug me off!
- Because--
- I know what you're doing,
don't even try it with me. - Yeah.
- Don't even try it with me. - Don't mug me off mate.
- Maybe we mug each other off.
- I mug you off more than you mug me off.
- [Producer] Sounds like a very unhealthy relationship.
- Yeah (laughing). - Yeah (laughing).
- We said it in the accent.
- We said it. - So give us the point.
- What?
- (laughing) Wasteman.
- Wasteman. (laughing)
- The garbo's just coming to collect your rubbish.
- Sounds like a slang term for the garbage man.
- I immediately thought of like a waste of space.
- Wasteman. - Like a waste of space.
- Like a bin collector?
- Oh like an actual garbage man?
- Someone who's useless.
- Yeah. - Big waste.
- Yeah, waste of space, yeah - Waste of space.
- We hate him, he's a wasteman, mug off!
- Up north we would say they're a waster,
so basically they spend all their days doing nothing.
We'd say someone that kind of like maybe lives off
their parents as well,
you know. - Yeah.
- Someone who like stays at home 'til they're 30.
- Yeah, that's right, Tom how old are you?
(laughing)
38 hey?
- Yeah! - Yeah!
I think we were on the money there.
- Yeah.
- Aw, so we got it! (laughing)
- Oh my god!
- A waste of a man. - Oh my god!
- We're both wastemen.
- Speak for yourself. (laughing)
- So you're a wastewoman?
(laughing)
- [Producer] You can also say badman or waste cadet as well.
- Waste cadet!
You're a waste cadet!
- You're a wastemen.
- What do you think moving mad is?
- These people have just put random words together
and they're like yeah now this is what that means.
- I've got no idea! - Pardon?
- Pardon?
- Moving mad! - You're moving mad!
- I would say like you're raging.
Like proper raging.
- Like if you see someone who's a little bit cooked
you'd be like oh she's moving mad.
- She's moving mad.
- Or you're like extra mad, you're like Hulk level mad.
- Like. - Is it like someone's acting
crazy? - Yeah,
it's maybe to describe- - Like are you moving mad?
- To describe someone's state of mind.
- This is a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be.
- So moving mad is like,
just acting crazy, acting a bit cuckoo, bit loopy,
bit insane.
- As my dad would say, mad as a box of frogs.
- She threw all his clothes out the window,
she was moving mad.
- Oh nice! - We're doing really well.
- You're crazy.
- Ah. - Ah okay.
- Okay so. - I would never say that,
I hate this.
- We're doing quite well.
- Yeah. - Bit surprised.
- Kreps!
- Is this even in English?
(laughing) Like.
- Are you just making fun of us?
What the (horn) is a krep?
- Maybe they're just after some like thin French pancakes?
Some crepes. - Some crepes (laughing).
- I'm gonna go for something like maybe like an idiot.
Like you're being
a bit of a krep. - Yeah, I think so.
- Yeah. - Okay, let's go with that.
- Like you're a bit cooked.
You're really, really cooked, he was kreped,
he kreped himself (laughing).
- Like weird or obscure.
- Your kreps, okay so I think this is a bit
of a younger generation than us.
- Little bit grandmaish.
- Yeah, we call them trainers.
- Oh what?! - What?!
- No, so these are meant to be kreps.
- Oh that makes no sense.
- Well I'm gonna take this word and use it how I want.
(laughing)
- Bog standard.
- Bog in Australian means to take a dump.
- Does it?
- That sounds like Australian slang to be honest.
- Yeah.
- So shit standard (laughing)?
- No I think bog standard's just like you know the usual.
- Like stock standard?
- Isn't that too obvious?
- Maybe it means like
an average Joe? - Of the pit?
- Like your average dude. - Yeah.
- Like bog standard
is not what you wanna be. - No.
- Like basic bitch? - Yeah.
I don't know, I think so.
- Basic bitch.
- Bog standard is like,
just like, proper average, like.
- Yeah. - Just like--
- Keepin' it on the baseline.
That burger was bog standard mate.
- Yeah.
(clap) - What the (horn)!
Oh my god sorry that was a wild guess I'm so surprised.
Sh. - We've all got a bit of
bog standard in us innit?
- Oh. - A little bit.
- A little bit.
- (laughing) I like this.
- Cream crackered. - Cream crackered.
- Oh my god. - I'm gonna get
cream crackered this weekend (laughing).
- My mind went somewhere that it shouldn't've gone.
- That's gotta mean drunk.
- Like, like sex?
- Yes.
- Cream crackered that
sounds like that- - Sounds a bit naughty.
Something that I get up to on a Friday night.
Like say absolute plastered.
- He cream crackered me (laughing).
- I really (mumbles). (laughing)
- I was thinking something else.
- What were you thinking? (laughing)
- Oh yeah. - That's me right now.
- Same (laughing).
- Cream crackered is actually cockney rhyming slang,
like apples and pears.
- It is yeah. - Dog and bone.
And just means super tired.
- Aw you're tired. - Really tired!
Oh! - Oh!
- Okay, I'm sensing a theme here,
it's kind of like whatever it sounds like--
- It rhymes! - It rhymes, yeah.
- Gaff! - Gaff!
Is that mouth?
- Up ya gaff. - Gaff!
- Oh yeah! - In ya gaff,
I'm gonna get cream crackered in ma gaff.
- Like shut ya gaff!
- I feel like that is also very sexual.
Gaff though I think means mouth.
- Gaff means house.
- Does it?
- You've made a fool,
once again of yourself. - Yeah.
Yeah I think so. - Yeah.
- Just made a mistake. - Yeah.
- Let's go back to ya gaff and we can cream cracker.
- No we're not cream crackering anything.
- Gaff, this basically means like, my house,
my joint, where's the party at, party's at my gaff tonight.
- 100% the party is always at my gaff.
- It is, always at her house. (laughing)
- Nah, this one I'm not sold on.
This one I still believe is made up.
- Well what kind
of British slang-- - I disagree.
(laughing)
- Gaff is house oh you were right.
- Oh doodle.
- That's not doodle that's doddle.
(laughing)
- I read it wrong.
- Doodle!
- No I thought that said doodle.
- It does say doodle.
- No it says doddle. - Ah.
- You're wasting time. - Yeah.
Like you just have to kill time.
- Yeah. - By procrastinating.
- Yeah. - Doing something that's
totally meaningless. - But I would tell
someone off, be like, stop being a doddle.
Like stop doddling
around. - Right, yeah, yeah.
- I'm gonna go with like tap.
(water flowing) - Oh what the (horn)?
- So random.
- Or maybe it's like having a little tipple.
Like having a little drink.
- I think doddling is like wasting time, procrastinating.
- I like your answer, I wanna go with your answer.
(laughing)
- Procrastinating. - I don't think I'm right.
- Doddle, we use this as something that's super easy
like it was such a doddle.
It was a doddle, yeah. - Yeah.
Like we would say like piece of piss.
- Yeah (laughing).
We'd also say that too (laughing).
- Oh okay so-- - That's a doddle!
- We respectfully reject this definition.
("God Save the Queen")
- Oh favorite word. - Favorite word.
- Cream crackered.
(laughing)
'Cause I think it sounds funny.
And I think it could mean anything.
- I think doddle just because it was a cute, fun word
and it didn't have any like negative connotation to it.
- Mug off. - Really?
- I think that sounds like almost menacing.
- I think I really like cream crackered,
I think it's quite cute. (laughing)
- Bog standard! - Bog standard!
- Okay I guess it gives you a sense of identity doesn't it?
Like when you hear someone speaking from your hometown
and you understand them
and other people don't. - Yeah.
- You've got that kind of instant connection
with that person.
Represent! (laughing)
(upbeat guitar music)
- Look, I'm a big fan of British slang,
but those words.
- Some of them I don't agree with.
- No. - Some of them I love.
- Yes.
- I think it went really well.
- I think we did okay, yeah. - Yeah.
- Definitely surpassed my expectations,
like I definitely felt I would get like one
or none correct.
- [Producer] Almost every word, you're like,
"Oh this word?
"It means to get smashed."
(laughing)
- They have to be happy somehow,
they're like always in darkness.
- True, it's very gray. - So,
I assume all of their slang is for getting drunk.
(beep) - Mug off.
- Mug off.
(beep) - If you're on Tinder
and you're swiping through. - Yeah.
- And you're a bog standard. - Bog standard.
- You're always gonna get the. - Nee.
- The left swipe. - Yeah.
- Or is it right?
- Don't pretend like
you don't know. - I don't know!
I don't know!
- I live in London, I don't know how to use Tinder.
- What are you?
- An idiot sandwich!
(laughing)
