you know how it works by now i talk
you listen and no one gets hurt
today boys and girls we are learning
about
slang specifically slang
from birmingham and the black country
yes i know birmingham and the black
country are different places but for the
sake of this video
we are talking about slang from the both
of them
brumi and black country slang is quite
hard to understand for people who aren't
from here
so listen carefully and maybe you might
in time sound a bit more like a peaky
blinder
slang word number one busty
now if something's bursting it's great
it's good it's brilliant all right
boston
is good that is a busting hat
ah the sun was out yesterday it was
busting not to be confused however
with bust if something is bossed
it's broken doesn't work anymore
ow now my car is boss
ow now my tv is bust
i need to go get it fixed all right next
slang word we have
is bobby i'll give you five seconds to
have a think
about what you think babby might mean
i'll give you a clue
take away one of the bees it's a baby
a lovely little baby but we say
baby ah what a lovely baby
oh she's lovely a lovely baby
or er what an ugly baby
right next up we've got yam yam
now this is very important because i
am a peaky blinder so i'm from
birmingham
so i am called a broomer i
am a brummie however if you are from the
black country
you are a yam yam they are not the same
we have brummies we have yum yums that
is the difference okay
alright next up we have a slang word
which is found in other parts of the uk
but mainly in the midlands we say
shrapnel all right now shrapnel means
discarded bits of bomb that is the
official meaning so when a bomb explodes
there are lots of bit of shrapnel lots
of bits of bomb everywhere however we
say it
for loose pieces of change in our wallet
so if you have a one p a two p a five p
lots of little pennies we can say
shrapnel
sorry love i'm paying with shrapnel a
happy day might alright i hope you're
listening
next up we have to learn a bit turn out

entirely different phrase that we use
over here and it means you are a bit
angry
oh you're a bit frustrated about
something he's not in a good mood he's
got a right cub on

around the reeking or right around the
reeking
