      You surely didn't choose a good example with that FBI report, didn't you? It didn't include cities with most crime, it's a famous funny story. Look up "criminal victimization, 2023 bureau of justice statistics". it's .gov report. It proves that crime is not really much down. That is a bad example you used. Sorry, BlueJayYT, but needed to be said.

    Here’s a fun fact, back in Georgian England soldiers from the navy would hang around pubs, wait for people to get close to blackout drunk and drag them outside, have them join the navy and then have them drink until they actually black out, then drag them onto a ship to serve for 10 years (or until they die)
    This is because Britain needed sailors to defend their overseas empire and they couldn’t find enough people willing to join so they just straight up kidnapped them instead

      That "fun fact" is mostly a myth. Most seamen in the Royal Navy during the long eighteenth century were volunteers. Pressing was mainly done for short periods prior to the start of major conflict, and then it's purpose was to try and secure experienced seamen, not inexperienced landsmen.

      Was it like leaving shoes out the front door? Were shoelaces or the shoes themselves usually a gift from parental figures? Was putting various shit in drinking glasses a whole other decipherable language to learn? Was it because you'd usually strip the shoelaces off of someone first? Were aglets anti-sexual in nature, or quite the opposite??? WAS IT TO GET UNDER SOVIET UNION CENSORS??? Did it mean the horny drink was dirtied by the work shoes of your hardworking parents like a rug?? I need to hear accounts from 80s soviet teens who used this slang. I wanna hear them cringe at their own thesaurus as they struggle to explain such a niche and unheard of phrase.

      Every person believes all the words they use are the universally understood and accepted words.
      When I was a kid I flew out to visit my grandparents in the midwest. My grandma asked me if I wanted a pop and I thought she was threatening to punch me. Eventually she pointed at a can of soda and repeated "do you want a pop?" And then I said, " That's called a soda. If you pop me I'm telling mom and dad. "

      I would say yes, but at least 75% of those sounds could be made with any decently flexible Helmholtz resonator. No larynx (voice box) needed. I'm saying he could have used a well-lubricated balloon to make those sounds and yet chose to do it with his own billy. I don't know whether to be disturpressed by his combitment or disappointed by Sisyphus Stockholming his rock.
      potentially problematic vocab:
      billy (goat): throat (genuine Cockey rhyming slang)
      combitment: commitment to the bit
      disturpressed: disturbed but impressed
      Sisyphus Stockholming his rock: continuing to do something one way because you have been doing it too long to stop now (gambler's fallacy), alternatively: liking a chore after becoming accustomed to it.

    These phrases might sound silly or nonsensical today, but they had their own charm. For example, terms like "gigglemug," used for someone who’s always smiling, or "butter upon bacon," which described something overly fancy or excessive, really capture the feel of old times. The documentary dives into how these expressions reflected the mindset and culture of the time and how, if we brought them back today, they could totally shake things up. These old slang terms, often cheeky or humorous, show how people throughout history loved to play with language and enjoy everyday banter.❣❣

    I have actually been in similar situations with communication because there are parts of the US that have wildly different dialects. You have to explain to them that they have to cut out the slang and only use the words that have a direct meaning to talk which means that all communication is purely utilitarian. Trust me when I say that this has resulted in some comical moments. I still remember explaining what I needed them to do to effectively communicate with me and they had to slow down their talk to make sure to use zero slang. They said they felt like they were talking like some well educated and smug uppity type.
