Please, don't give the answer away in the title and the thumbnail. It ruins the fun!
Of course! So disappointing!
Too late
It's kinda pointless when you already know the answer.
@Magic Knight :
It's not too late for many viewers. Thumbnails and titles can be edited after the fact.
How do handcuffed hand give it away? The question is already about breaking a law
Who else was totally up for Xyla pulling out a massive list of weird idioms??
The thumbnail was a spoiler :(
when the thumbnail shows the answer...
Tom Scott's thumbnails are like that.
...and just like that the thumbnail was changed! Well done Tom and team 👏
The way Tom attempted a Scottish accent when he said “a-red hand” 😂😂😂
3:20 Just in case anyone is confused, King James I of Scotland was not King James I of England; that was King James VI of Scotland. England was ruled, at the time of King James I of Scotland, by one of the many Henry that took that throne
now i'm more confused than before reading this
@@dovos8572 I get that xD
So, the gist of it is that England decided to just borrow Scotlands King and he became King James I of England, while also remainin King James VI of Scotland.
This happened as part of the Union of the Crowns in 1603, after which both England and Scotland were ruled by the same person; tho at the time they were ruled over and governed entirely independently of each other still (wudnt be til 1707 that Scotland lost its independence)
The reason England needed to borrow Scotlands king is bcuz the last heir of the Tudor dynasty, Elizabeth I, had died, leavin no survivin lineage to declare the next monarch
The reason they opted for Scotlands king is bcuz back in the early 1500s, King James IV of Scotland married Margaret; the eldest daughter of King Henry VII of England. This marriage was actually also meant to unify the two kingdoms, tho it did such less effectively as barely a few yrs later Scotland wud declare war on England bcuz England declared war on France (who Scotland had an ancient alliance with that they had to honour); and both England and Scotland spent many of the next hundred yrs goin over and burnin down each others stuff... Like the times the English burned down Scotlands capitol
In 1432 it would be Henry VI under a Regency, who was the English King.
But for undoing confusion, James VI of Scotland was the great-grandson of Princess Margaret of England, and ended up being Queen Elizabeth I's closest living relative from the most senior line, and hence took the throne of England when she died, becoming the first James to rule England.
@@dovos8572 England and Scotland are both places where the name James is common. While currently ruled by the same monarch, this has not always been the case. The numbering for kings named James is complicated.
The thumbnail totally gave it away, it kinda ruins the fun of figuring it out with them
Yeah, now I wonder if "butchering" would've been enough of a clue for me.
The thumbnail totally doesn't give it away...
Getting caught cuffed and bloodied? 😂
Getting caught doing jazz hands?
I'm just pleased (when they 'fixed' it) they didn't substitute {the modern cuffs} with {a red-herring} or {Shibari-like rope cuffs, over a blade}.
With the idiom's origin being Scottish, the later would have needed correction *and* an apology -too- for the tasteless joke.
No it doesn't, what are you talking about? Did they fixed it?
The hands in the new thumbnail are clean, so it doesn't give the answer away.
Man, that was much more light-hearted than my guess, which was "There's more than one way to skin a cat."
we're playing along and thinking too, Tom. Don't give it away before we open the video...
Dear Tom, I think you should have a word with the person who's responsible for the thumbnail for this video.
But in any case, a big "THANK YOU!" for all the videos which are always entertaining and informative and which you generously provide for free.
I didn't see the thumbnail, but the title gave it away for me. And a couple of videos ago, it was the description.
Whelp, the thumbnail sure ruined this one. Way to spoil the answer for everyone playing along.
Next time we tackle the tough question, What color is this green apple?
Yellow?
I had a couple of coworkers from Russia once and one of them was writing a book of American idioms for Russians. The other guy once said he wanted to make sure he wasn't reinventing the bicycle.
So, the other Russian was capable of saying a perfectly good idiom in English themselves! However, changing the idiom from reinventing the wheel to reinventing the bicycle is idiosyncratic, but works perfectly.
Fun fact, in Czech language, both wheel and bicycle have the same word "kolo".
But not in russian as far as i know, so that's probably unrelated
The thumbnail should have a jail or farm animals.
Is there a reason the podcast isn't posted in full on UA-cam? I'd love to see it here.
Editing video is time-consuming.
In short, these clips are being used to give people a taster of the full audio podcast. Once the podcast starts paying its way, we will look to see if we can increase our video coverage.
@@lateralcast Oh okay, thank you for the reply! I just prefer listening to podcasts on youtube usually.
@@lateralcast That would be lovely - as a non-native speaker I sometimes have trouble understanding audio-only podcasts; seeing facial expressions helps a lot - and subtitles are a blessing.
@@lateralcast Seems a waste to record the whole thing on video, then throw the majority of it in the garbage.
Really impressed Jordan got it, I was totally and utterly lost.
Imagine time traveling back to 1430, using this phrase, and everyone looking at you so confused.
People are saying the thumbnail and description gave it away. It didn't for me, and now I feel a little stupid
They changed it the thumbnail little bit. It used to have blood on the hands, now they are clean. However, I still think the title gives away too much (to be «caught...» is a very significant part of the phrase we are trying to guess).
Interesting to see how much of the British culture/history that I am steeped in as a white American is not common knowledge even to other Americans. My starting assumption was that the animals in question were the king's deer.
very interesting. thanks tom.
english fluency is indeed not from knowing the already self-breaking english language, but instead knowing more about sayings and local slang and idioms and etc. instead.
I thought for sure this was going to be "The Proof is in the Pudding" like a blood pudding kind of thing. Like certain farmers fed their sheep a specific thing that you'd find in the intestines.
Great job Jordan!
I got this before Tom finished reading the question.
I got the answer before the question was done being read, it was so obvious lol
Same. At least I think so. They haven’t said the answer yet😂
Yup I was got it🎉
A first for me😂
Ppl sayin the thumbnail was the spoiler like the question wasnt plain as day heh
I wouldn't have found it plain as day, but it was a pretty short trip from question to answer, for the contestants. Having to guess at the nature of the law, as well, would have made it more difficult.
The question gave itself away.
I got this before the question was read out, my goodness :O
that was a stunning victory!
also i love the new idiom, caught in 4k
I knew it would be red-handed immediately, but also presumed the main animal involved would be pigs, although this is a general question, but are pigs crucial to this? Am I psychic?
My first thought was to think of idioms with animals and I came up with "when pigs fly," so now I'm picturing a stereotypical Scotsman riding a winged pig over the highlands.
Way to go Jordan. I didn't see the thumbnail so was quite surprised when you said that. It's so common that I wouldn't have thought of that at all.
3o7hr
I had always thought "caught red handed" meant being caught as or just after committing a murder.
we still don't know who was actually first caught this way
I guess the thumbnail might be considered a spoiler but I didn’t think so. However I’m amazed this question took them longer than two seconds.
Caught jazz handed 😂
To all the people saying "the thumbnail ruined it" Dude, I got it before Tom even finished his sentence! I haven't seen the thumbnail, and English isn't even my first language. There wasn't much to ruin.
Yay, the first one I got (and in a microsecond nonetheless)
Funny that Tom didn’t knew for certain. Loads of US media that definitely references the phrase or even incorporate it into iconography and plot points etc.
These hit different now that Tom is "retired" from YT. I am not a re-watcher by nature -- I've seen the Godfather just the once if you follow me -- but I am working my way back through the catalog. We've all been through some weird shit these past couple of years and Tom's stuff really just always makes me smile no matter how shite the actual worlds is.
I was thinking "blood on your hands"
0:30 "To catch someone red-handed" is my guess.
Dang, I was thinking no body no crime.
Only just found this channel. How many channels do you have Scot?😂
Only negative thing for me, is that the title sequence and music. They're a bit too much like early 90's daytime quizz show. I really f🤬🤬🤬hated them as a kid. If I was off was sick, and home from school, that was all that would be in tv. So I rarely took a day off. maybe 2 times. Once with the flu, and once after an operation. Prompting my dad to ask me if I wanted to take the day off... on several occasions 😂
I got that from the title and thumbnail.
My guess was 'Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb'.
I was like "the proof is in the pudding!!!" but wasn't really sure why or at least not how to explain my reasoning
I was expecting "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" for some reason even though I thought I knew the source
Usually the questions are so good but I wouldve guessed this immediately and ended the game in 3 seconds
I think I'd try and go in via what the idiom is about, is it to do with not being qualified, is it to do with ownership etc.
Lol I feel so stupid, everyone said the thumbnail gave it away, but I didn't even make the connection till after the video was over and I came to the comments. But in my defence I don't ever really pay much attention to the thumbnails
My first guess was "proof is in the pudding" given how older puddings had to be.made from bones.
Our french equivalent to this idiom is “pris la main dans le sac” which literally means “caught with the hand in the bag”. It refers to stealing, which I assume was a more common issue in high-class french cities than animal slaughter.
Does the metaphorical phrase "he has blood on his hands" come from the same Scottish law as the answer to this question? I see that as a possibility.
After a quick search, that does seem very likely.
"Blood on the hands", "hands stained with blood" and similar variations are common expressions in several languages. "Red-handed" is a lot more specific and unusual.
Poaching is essentially illegal hunting.
It comes from English Common law, actually. A noble might own a game preserve and that nobleman would be the only person allowed to hunt in that land.
After listening to the latest episode on google podcasts did Tom not mean 29 Acacia Road especially given his penchant for red shirts, for when Tom eats a banana an amazing transformation occurs...
first guess, im 0:49 seconds in (POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW). im american btw, but i did live in England, though i knew this phrase below before i moved there for a while.
scottish law: one "caught red handed"
(edit, i guess that was the only question XD)
Yay
My first guess to this was about selling the skin before the animal is shot
This is so easy.....for goodness sake!
👍
I own the Oxford dictionary of English idioms
I thought that phrase came from Macbeth.
So who was "the first person caught this way" as the title says?
Okay, but who was first caught... this way?
You gave it away with the thumbnail, please dont do that.
I thought it was proof is in the pudding.
red handed
Shaka, when the walls fell.
Who else guessed that immediately
Theory 1:
People complaining about thumbnail being a spoiler are spoiling it more than the thumbnail itself.
Theory 2:
Even negative comments are comments and the algorithm likes is, so perhaps somebody makes the titles/thumbnails on purpose to generate discussion
Terrible thumbnail, it made this one no fun at all 😡
I thought the proof would be in the pudding.
So it has nothing to do with voting in ancient Greece? Rounding up citizens for a vote with a red-staining rope? I remember a slide show from middle school...
Welp, no reason to watch this one.
TIL
I don't think any of the Americans caught the Scottish accent Tom tried
Jordan probably cheated using AI. :)
I really enjoy the show but I've got to say I really hate the intro. I think the music is just really obnoxious to me. I can't really describe my feelings any better though
dang a person is an animal
