  • @gruffthomas5706
    @gruffthomas5706 7 років тому +103

    Some of my own favourites:
    The sesh - short for session, meaning to drink/clubbing
    Sesh gremlin - a person who takes part in the sesh
    Wavy - refers to the mood of a room/club, or a style of clothing, commonly worn to a drum and bass event, adidas is a staple of the style, camo print as well. Also means to be drunk, or on ket
    Skanking - a catch all word for any form dancing in a drum and bass event
    Off your nut/off your box - can mean youre insane, or that youre very high on class A's
    Bonus one, not one that i like to use, though i find it funny but quite disgusting:
    On the blob - to be on your period

    A suggestion for another similar video would be words that are used to describe an object.
    For example, in England the rear storage compartment in a car is the "boot".
    In the US we call it the "trunk".
    I would love to know other things like that.

    I'm going to return the favor somewhat with this little piece of info that you most likely don't know. In the world of dog training, or to be more accurate, dog behaviour studies, we also use the word "chuff". However, in this case, it refers to that sound we've all heard dogs make. It's sort of a cross of a short exhale with a quiet little tiny bark mixed in. So, instead of a "BARK", it's more like a "boof". Well, you know what I mean. In a stressed dog, it means something like "I don't know what I think about this but I still feel a little uneasy". But you will also hear it in playful dogs too, when they are trying to instigate play with some "play barks", you might hear some occasional playful chuffs. So, there you go, l learned something and you, presumably, learned something too. Ain't UA-cam grand?
    Luv your vids, Sophie! You're the bee's knees! Haha! Cheers!

      Well it is where the English language came from so you're actually talking funny cause just imagine someone speaking German with a German accent.

      Dodofin y. You could just call the british accent standard English. Or define the BBC English as standard. Everything else is an accent. That's how we in Germany do it btw.

      Dodofin he said the comments, so he might have meant the slang not the accent. And obviously to someone from a different place the slight differences would be offputting in a sort 😂

    A surprising lot of those are words in fairly common use in the US as well:
    kerfluffle, miffed, kid, wacky baccy, plastered, ace, dodgy, hunky-dory, sick, chock-a-block, cram, row, fluke, gander, beak.
    Same terms but with different meanings:
    Bomb, besides "great" also has a negative meaning. "The movie was a bomb." or "It bombed."
    Full of beans means not knowing what one is talking about. "He's full of beans."
    Squat also means "nothing" - "They didn't do squat." Often used as "diddly-squat."
    Waffle is used to mean indecision - "He said no, but now he's waffling."
    Goosed also means poked in the backside and also to be urged to action - "That masher goosed my girlfriend!" "To get any work done, he needs to be goosed."

    Just a few American slang words for tired off the top of my head: beat, bushed, tuckered out.
    "I'm going to go to bed" can be "I'm going to hit the hay" - or - "hit the sack."

    As a fellow Brit (a good bit older than you), I can testify to at least 90% of these, and think you did a great job brainstorming so many.
    Only 11 of them I didn't recognise at all, which probably just means I haven't got out enough since about 2001 (honestly):
    Blinding
    Doofer
    Paddy
    Rozzer
    Baccy
    Offie
    Up the duff
    Lurgy
    Bladdered
    Doing porridge
    Wag
    Goosed
    I'd have regarded 'snitch' as being just as much slang as 'grass', but I don't think 'dear' or 'row' are slang at all (they're proper, formal English words).
    Like previous respondents, I have a different nuance of the second definition you gave of 'tight'. It has a quite specific meaning of 'miserly with money' and is an abbreviation of 'tight-fisted'. However, I have also come across it used to mean 'mean' more generally.

    Scouser comes from the food 'scouse' which was imported from northern europeans travelling into the port of Liverpool. POSH stands for Port Out Starboard Home, which would have meant you travelled expensively by ship a few decades ago. Posh people therefore can come from anywhere in the UK - often historically with some aristocratic connection who are on a continuum peaking at royalty and are often related to royalty - dukes, earls etc.. As land owners they can be found in most parts of the UK often in rural areas of most counties. It's funny that people from the south who are as likely to own land or travel first class as tap dance on the moon say that northerners can't be posh. Funny and entertaining video - I'm gonna guess Sophie's from the Wirral or Cheshire....

    bangers can also mean: something that's not quite right.
    so if the ice cream van goes down the next street and not yours. you could say "that's bangers"
    or:
    if someone hits into your car and refuses to accept it's their fault. you could say "that's bangers, you hit into me"
