Love this video Gideon. I'm a UK/US-qualified lawyer and this is spot on. "Manslaughter" has several definitions in the US, depending on the states. "Murder" also exists there. My favourite is "voluntary manslaughter" which can be used as a defence if the defendant was provoked into killing the victim. "Provocation" includes witnessing adultery... "Jail" and "Prison" don't exactly have the same meaning in the US. "Jail" is used for people awaiting trial and some misdemeanours. "Prison" is for properly convicted/sentenced people. Thanks for your video! I didn't know all the slang. I shall memorise it, just in case 🙂
@@arturcostasteiner9735 That's "money laundering". It's when money is derived from an illegal activity (i.e. dirty money) and it is discreetly injected into a lawful business to make it look clean (instead of keeping it in a briefcase under your bed or a bank account in the Cayman Islands, for example). This is very well described in Breaking Bad where the meth cook, Walter White, opens a car wash company to inject the dirty drug money bit by bit and launder it.
I was a little nervous that I might get called out by a lawyer. Glad my definition was ok. Actually I knew the difference between jail and prison but I thought I'd keep it simple for the sake of the video.
I like this summary of typical expressions! Thank you for posting them. It’s fine that you had a look at US-expressions, too, most famous serials of todays TV take place there.
My favorite phrase for jail or prison is "The Old Gray Bar Hotel." The metal bars on a cell are usually painted gray. "Person of interest" doesn't really have a legal meaning, but I always thought it was just anyone the police would like to talk to, maybe as a suspect, maybe as a witness who hasn't been identified yet. Ex: " we do have one more person of interest. Our main witness said they say someone in a blue shirt running away, so we'd like to find them and see what their story is."
There's a small difference between a prison, (usually for long sentences), and a jail (most often to put suspects before a trial). And I find "person of interest" a funny euphemism for what is basically a suspect. Great video, the 18 minutes flew by. And ending with The Clash out of nowhere. Very nice. I'm sold on these thematic videos, please send more our way.
Hi Mr Giddeon, I would like to recommend you a topic for your videos, I'm studying English and about to start Literature I, I still don't know what register is, nor style, how can I detect styles in authors? Thank you and I really enjoy your videos, you really know what you are doing, you are a master piece :)
I love your channel. Everything is well explained and your examples are even funny! I appreciate that you speak slightly slow, because helps to learn. Thanks teacher!
There are some open TV series of English detective films, I will pay attention from now on, many words I don't know..it will be an opportunity to learn. It's nice that you used old movies..🤓 I really enjoyed it🤩 🔎stay mellow Teacher, thanks for the great video ❤️
That was really interesting. Though I have no criminal record and never have gotten in the way of law enforcement and justice I knew suprisingly many of the words you explained. Maybe I have watched and read too many crime and detective stories.
There are so many words in English for the different sorts of crime. I remember myself being amazed by 'A Pirate's Life For Me' lyrics. IYo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me. We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot, Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. Maraud and embezzle, and even highjack, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We kindle and char, inflame and ignite, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We burn up the city, we're really a fright, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We're rascals, scoundrels, villains, and knaves, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We're beggars and blighters, never-do-well cads, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
I really like your videos. Almost none of the people I know use the verbs "to be" correctly. Let me give a few examples: 1) Incorrect - "I should have went" Correct - "I should have gone" 2) Incorrect - "He hasn't ran the anti-virus yet" Correct - "He hasn't run the anti-virus yet" 3) Incorrect - "His girlfriend hadn't came to the party." - "...hadn't come..." Words like "run" and "come" and "go" get mixed up because they don't have a third tense or whatever. Run, ran, run Go, went, gone Come, came, come People trip over this kind of thing all the time. What are the rules?
"Cop," "copper," come from the verb "to cop," which means "to arrest as a prisoner,"🚓 and is a British term. I thought that I might share this piece of information which I've just looked up, with my fellow English learning fellows.
Great vídeo, Gideon! Suppose someone makes much money but doesn’t want to pay income tax, so they hide assets from the Federal Reserve, don’t declare all the money they made. Is this called tax evasion? Thank you.
I think 'theft' is to rob things. To 'steal' from or 'to rob' is (done) to a person. At 1:52 what is the film with Humphrey Bogart and an actress I don't know?
In America, larceny is taking someone else's property. It's theft or stealing personal property. Robbery is larceny accomplished by force or fear. Burglary is a breaking and entering with intent to commit any felony.
...since I got scamed and abused to much, I become mad because of this video although it's great to learn to distinguish between the different english words - I'm a bit depressed know...
Very good except that SHerrlock Holmes is not a Private detective, but a consultant détective... a détective that you consult, event the police... he is the only one af his type... but anyway, thanks fo the vocabulary....

Hi! Since you’re a lawyer, could you please explain the meaning of a usually white collar crime known as money washing or something similar?
Thank you
@@arturcostasteiner9735 That's "money laundering".

These vocab by theme lessons are exceedingly helpful. Thank you so much teacher!

This is actually a "wow"lesson. Thank you very much.
I'm touched. Thanks
Thank you for this "out of the ordinar" subject ! Lots of words I did not know. Really appreciated.

My suggestions as an addition to your list are: the forensics team or the forensics. It is often heard when the Police are investigating a murder.
good idea for a future video
I really appreciate your lessons, a lotta useful vocabulary out there, thank you
Sir you are absolutely awesome in your teaching.
i've learned a lot of these expressions from the only fools and horses series🙂

Not too slowly I hope. Thanks for your kind comment
I need to write down all the words in this video, very informative.
Great job. In particular, the retro-film scenes are awesome. Greetings from Ukraine

Thanks a lot for gripping lesson. Love every bit of it .
Thanks once again, Gideon! great class, vocabulary and clarifications.. all the best :-)
🥰😘
Most of the vocabulary of the court, I learned it in watching Medium...
That was really interesting.
Though I have no criminal record and never have gotten in the way of law enforcement and justice I knew suprisingly many of the words you explained.
Maybe I have watched and read too many crime and detective stories.
Maybe you don't have a criminal record because they haven't caught you yet?
Thanks. Brilliant one!
And the very British word, the 'baddies' :) Great lesson!
Love your funny way of conducting the lesson
Very useful lesson 👍. Thank you so much Teacher.

Thanks. Another interesting video:) Would like to have more!
Very useful nowadays. Ty so much for sharing! ✔️

you're great thanks
Mr Skype has done these. Cop. You nail this. I know .
I really like your videos. Almost none of the people I know use the verbs "to be" correctly. Let me give a few examples:
1) Incorrect - "I should have went" Correct - "I should have gone"
2) Incorrect - "He hasn't ran the anti-virus yet" Correct - "He hasn't run the anti-virus yet"
3) Incorrect - "His girlfriend hadn't came to the party." - "...hadn't come..."
Words like "run" and "come" and "go" get mixed up because they don't have a third tense or whatever.
Run, ran, run
Go, went, gone
Come, came, come
People trip over this kind of thing all the time. What are the rules?
Thank you dude , i'm a cop and this helps me
Thx for your awesome videos
Gideon simply knows his shit and his audience out-and-out. I am back and appeased. :-)
glad you liked it.
"Cop," "copper," come from the verb "to cop," which means "to arrest as a prisoner,"🚓 and is a British term. I thought that I might share this piece of information which I've just looked up, with my fellow English learning fellows.
Copper comes from the copper badge they used to wear.
@@LetThemTalkTV It's a common misconception; if you look it up you'll realise I was right (not that I care much about being right on such a trifle).
Wow! Interesting and useful lesson. Thanks a lot;)
happy to hear that
Great!!

Paddington green crime

I'd argue about your definition of the wise guy, I never think of this term as of a mafia member, to me it's some sort of a wannabe gangsta rather.
The PIGS! lol

Sherlock and Elizabeth in one video! Do you think they're related?

Hi Gideon ! I am watching this later, as I am on my way to see a woman about a pussy cat !
good luck!
