  • 00:00

    Hey, everyone.

  • 00:01

    In this lesson we're talking guy talk - things that guys say in the gym, or about each other,

  • 00:07

    or about women.

  • 00:09

    And we'll start with: "_______ as fuck".

  • 00:14

    "As fuck" is used for emphasis when you really mean something, so you could see...

  • 00:18

    You could be talking about this woman, and you could say... or girl, you could say: "She

  • 00:22

    was ugly as fuck.

  • 00:25

    She was... she was so ugly."

  • 00:28

    But if you wanted to say it...

  • 00:30

    If she was extra ugly, you've never seen anything as ugly as that in your life, you could say:

  • 00:35

    "She's ugly as all fuck."

  • 00:39

    Then you really mean it.

  • 00:41

    That's extra, extra "as fuck".

  • 00:43

    Now we've got: "smashing it".

  • 00:45

    When... this is more of a British English expression.

  • 00:48

    "Smashing" used to mean...

  • 00:51

    It still does, but it's not really used.

  • 00:53

    Used to mean really good if something is smashing, but it's not used in that way now.

  • 00:58

    It's changed in slang to be: "smashing it".

  • 01:02

    When you're smashing it, you're doing it really well; you're doing it so well.

  • 01:05

    So, if you were at the gym and you were...

  • 01:08

    You were lifting, like, more than you normally lift, you could say...

  • 01:13

    You could say: "I was...

  • 01:14

    I smashed it at the gym today."

  • 01:16

    Or you could say: "He's smashing it" - he's having such a...

  • 01:20

    Such a good workout, whatever.

  • 01:22

    When you really approve when they're doing something really well: "smashing it".

  • 01:27

    Next we have: "making gains".

  • 01:30

    "Making gains" means when you go to the gym and you want to put on muscle, and you want

  • 01:37

    to do bodybuilding because you want to get bigger, you want to get ripped - you want

  • 01:41

    to get ripped as fuck.

  • 01:43

    So, you go to the gym and you do all the stuff they do.

  • 01:48

    You're trying to...

  • 01:49

    You want to "make gains"; get bigger.

  • 01:54

    You want to make gains.

  • 01:55

    This is, like...

  • 01:59

    It's something you're doing as in a sport, but also with the intention to get bigger

  • 02:05

    and put on the muscle.

  • 02:08

    Next we've got: "full natty".

  • 02:10

    If you're full natty, you're...

  • 02:12

    You're...

  • 02:13

    You're someone who works out; you're a man who works out who's fully natural, and that

  • 02:20

    means you don't take steroids to, like, get bigger and bigger and bigger.

  • 02:26

    You have got your muscle the hard way, without any help from steroids.

  • 02:34

    So, people talk about other...

  • 02:37

    Men talk about other men, or men talk about bodybuilders on YouTube, or athletes, and

  • 02:44

    things like that, and they'll say: "Do you think he's full natty?"

  • 02:48

    That means: Do you think he's natural?

  • 02:50

    Or they say: "He's...

  • 02:51

    He's not fully...

  • 02:52

    He's not fully...

  • 02:53

    He's not full natty."

  • 02:55

    That means that he takes steroids.

  • 02:58

    If he takes steroids, then you're "roided up".

  • 03:03

    Steroid; you're roided up.

  • 03:05

    So, if you think about a... you want to go to a club - who's standing there at the door

  • 03:10

    when you want to get in?

  • 03:12

    This big guy like this - he's roided up and you have to show him your ID before you can

  • 03:18

    get in the club.

  • 03:21

    If he's roided up, it's quite possible that he's also got "bitch tits".

  • 03:28

    As he's put on all...

  • 03:29

    He's made gains and he's got really... he's got really muscley, but he's also grown some

  • 03:35

    boobies.

  • 03:37

    That's because the steroids have the impact on him of making bitch tits.

  • 03:43

    You can, by the way, also get bitch tits from eating foods with lots of estrogens in them,

  • 03:50

    so eating lots and lots of chicken has been known... chicken breast has been known to

  • 03:56

    give a man bitch tits.

  • 03:59

    Next we've got: "to have swag".

  • 04:03

    If somebody has swag, then it's like they carry themselves...

  • 04:07

    They carry themselves really...

  • 04:09

    Well, they have confidence, they dress well.

  • 04:14

    "Swag" comes from...

  • 04:17

    In British English, comes from "swagger".

  • 04:20

    Someone with swagger - it means the same thing; walking with confidence, looking good.

  • 04:27

    But now the more modern slang version is "having swag".

  • 04:33

    Now, this expression to say: "Have... have swag.

  • 04:37

    Oh.

  • 04:38

    Oh, you've got swag; he's got swag", some...

  • 04:41

    I think it's been overused a lot by the younger...

  • 04:45

    The younger generation, younger... younger than I am.

  • 04:49

    Anyway, because I've...

  • 04:50

    I've never actually said this myself; I've heard it.

  • 04:56

    Because it's been overused so much and some people don't...

  • 04:58

    I guess they find this term annoying or whatever, it's become a meme, like something people

  • 05:05

    say when they hear it: "Secretly We Are Gay".

  • 05:09

    Okay?

  • 05:10

    It's not meant to mean that; it's meant...

  • 05:13

    It's meant to mean confident, you know, looking good, but the joke is like: "SWAG" means "Secretly

  • 05:21

    We Are Gay", so it... it ends up not being swag in the end.

  • 05:28

    Next is: "full package".

  • 05:30

    If you've... if you're a woman with a full package, then you're not ugly as fuck.

  • 05:37

    That means that you've... you've got everything; you look good, you've got a nice personality,

  • 05:42

    you're... you're intelligent.

  • 05:44

    Whatever... whatever the things that are good about you - you've got the... you've got the

  • 05:48

    full package, then.

  • 05:50

    And all these guys go into the gym, making gains, they want to impress you if you're

  • 05:57

    the full package kind of woman.

  • 05:59

    Next we have a meme.

  • 06:02

    I didn't explain a meme just a minute ago.

  • 06:07

    A "meme" is when...

  • 06:10

    When you've seen something... when you've seen something written on the internet a lot,

  • 06:14

    it's a kind of... it's a joke that you only get when you've seen it around a lot, so then

  • 06:22

    you know what it means.

  • 06:23

    But if you just saw it the first time, you wouldn't... you wouldn't really know what

  • 06:27

    it was talking about.

  • 06:29

    So, this is a comment that gets left on YouTube videos and online, it gets made: "Do you even

  • 06:40

    lift bro?"

  • 06:41

    When a guy is talking about... is talking about going to the gym, putting on muscle,

  • 06:48

    training, and all that kind of stuff, he's... he's talking about it like he's an expert,

  • 06:53

    but he hasn't got...

  • 06:54

    It's like: "Who are you to talk about it?

  • 06:57

    You don't... you don't look like you know about this stuff."

  • 07:00

    So the meme that people will respond to that when someone's talking about it, but doesn't

  • 07:07

    look like they... they actually do it, they'll say: "Do you even lift bro?"

  • 07:13

    So the joke is that...

  • 07:17

    It can now be...

  • 07:18

    It can now be used when someone is talk... talking about stuff as if they really know

  • 07:24

    about it when, really, it's obvious that they don't know anything about it.

  • 07:29

    Next we've got: "all the gear but no idea".

  • 07:35

    "Gear" means stuff.

  • 07:39

    To have all the gear means that you've got a hobby and you... you buy all the best stuff.

  • 07:46

    It could be...

  • 07:47

    Let's say you've got...

  • 07:49

    You're in... you're into cycling; you buy all the best stuff, you buy the expensive

  • 07:53

    bike, you buy all the accessories for the bike, you spend loads of money on your bike,

  • 07:58

    but you're not really someone that knows much about cycling, like you... you're a bit rubbish;

  • 08:05

    you fall off sometimes, you... you never actually use this bike; you just like to appear like

  • 08:13

    you're some really great cyclist when you're not.

  • 08:17

    If you're that kind of person, you've got all the gear but no idea.

  • 08:21

    When you've got no idea, you don't understand.

  • 08:24

    And this last example here: "club muscle" is used to describe guys that do exercises

  • 08:34

    that when they do these specific exercises in a workout, it has the impact of pumping

  • 08:42

    them up with muscle, but only for a short term; like, very short time.

  • 08:48

    In a way, it's fake muscle because it doesn't last; it's gone again in a few hours.

  • 08:53

    And the reason they do these exercises is just so they can get big while they go to

  • 08:58

    the club to impress women, but it's not the real kind of hard exercise that takes so much

  • 09:07

    physical work, willpower, determination.

  • 09:09

    It's not the real exercises that lead to powerful long-term strength.

  • 09:16

    It's just a kind of cheater's muscle to look good to go out to the club and, you know,

  • 09:21

    but they're not...

  • 09:22

    They're not the real guys who really know about exercise.

  • 09:25

    So, there we are.

  • 09:27

    You can use all these words now.

  • 09:29

    You can get ripped as fuck, and you can know what you're talking about down at the gym.

  • 09:33

    Thanks for watching, and you can do the quiz now on this lesson.

  • 09:36

    Bye.
