If you live in England long enough you'll realise "insults" are often terms of endearment. It just means we're comfortable with you and enjoy getting it back.
This couple are simply fantastic, they are not afraid to offend those "righteous" people who think that they are "The guardians of Free Speech" and think that they are omnipotent. They accept things for what they are. Not only that, but they laugh at how ridiculous some of this "Free Speech" is. Their postings on You Tube are a source of merriement to we who want a bit of a laugh about just how ridiculous all this PC nonsense has become. I hope that they never change, and keep that fabulous sense of humour that they have.
I just discovered you guys today, I’ve watched all the Mickey Flanagan reactions because he’s my favourite comedian. I love how much you love him. I’ve subbed👌🏼
My favourite time of the week when you guys post a reaction to Micky Flanagan! And despite his thick cockney accent, you guys seem to keep up with him, and your laughter is so infectious! Keep up the great work and not long until 100k.....💪🏻👊🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Micky uses a lot of 'cockney rhyming' slang which unless you are familiar with it, it can be confusing. He said the word Barnet when he was talking about the mans hair (Barnet fair = hair) and he also said syrup (syrup of figs = wig). It was a way victorian criminals communicated so the police couldn't understand them. I love the way you are starting to learn all the English phrases and the way we say them 😁
What must be REALLY confusing is when you have rhyming slang for rhyming slang,this stuff can't be taught, e.g--arse='bottle and glarse'(yes,I know) shortened to 'bottle'='aristotle' shortened to 'aris' which is strangely similar to 'arse',the misspelling or distorting words to suit the rhyme is all part of the fun and some of it is really funny,there are a few sketches on YT with the 2 Ronnies and Smith &Jones that highlight it and in one case make it incomprehensible even to most 'cockneys'.
It makes me laugh when I see how funny you are finding Micky Flannigan, just like when I first heard these stand up gigs when he first did them, It’s great that you see this is a British trait to have fun sometimes it’s quite cruel but observations of what other people say or do that can be hilarious and bonds us as people when we don’t take ourselves too seriously you both are becoming honourary Brits.
The look on your wife's face when she understood the joke was priceless 😂, i love watching you 2 you're a great couple & she's gorgeous bro, I wish you both all the best.
You can’t beat a bit of Cockney Rhyming Slang and I have to say I’m impressed with your attempt at the accent guys. Love watching you two. Your amazing connection and relationship shines through. Elie you are one cool geezer and Carol, wow you are absolutely stunning! Keep up the great work guys. Much love from the UK.
You do very well to understand what he is saying with his cockney lingo (language)! I love watching your reactions, your so animative, can't wait to see more.
Some of the words he used are very tricky for non-British people to understand. He was using Cockney rhyming slang; for 'wig' he used 'syrup' (which rhymes with Syrup of Figs, a British laxative) and 'barnet' for hair (Barnet Fair, a horse-fair that was held in a place in London called Barnet). He also used 'nut' for head, which is not rhyming slang but is commonly used in the East End of London. I once heard a Londoner say "Who left that Richard in the loo?" ('turd' rhyming with King Richard The Third).
Barnet : Cockney rhyming slang... Barnet Faire = Hair Whistle and Flute = Suit Frog and Toad = Road Boat Race = Face Mince Pies = Eyes to name but a few...
Barnet and Syrup are what we call cockney rhyming slang. Words that rhyme with another word and are used as a substitute. For example, Barnet Fair = Hair. Syrup of Fig = Wig. So when he says "you lot are going collude in the fact, I've still got a Barnet" he means I've still got hair. "Also when he says "have a look at the Geezer's wig, have a look at the syrup".
Love this reaction and how you are embracing our slang language and humour. 😂 Have you tried Only Fools & Horses, a very popular and classic UK sitcom.
How to know you are with friends in the UK is to not be offended by being insulted and having the skill to drop an insult in return. Often leading to a tennis match of insults until someone trips over their words and loses the insult match, followed by a loud Aaaaagh as a winning insult to prove insult superiority.
Found you the other daylove how genuine you are.You need to check out peter kay, he's a very famous comedian from Bolton in the uk. If you like accents you'll love him. Watch Peter kay misheard Lyrics. The trip to the Dentist, Queen on a shovel guitar, Dogging there's just a few to have a look at I think you will enjoy him. Martin from Wigan UK
You do really well to pick up that accent which is very strong but hilarious. I really hope you watch the series Still Game. Its scottish accents that took me as a brit a while but om my goodnees the amount you will laugh. Start episode 1 their not too long 30 mins but stay past the credits for always a final clip . Love from uk ❤❤
Yes we even more like that further north like Manchester, Liverpool and north east, We call it banter in Manchester and I suppose elsewhere, but we give as good as we get and like your gorgeous young lady said about the C word,it's all how you say or mean it,e.g. banter. Lol
Yes we do - to call someone a c**** is usually a term of endearment in the UK ----usually ---- but not necessarily all the time as it can be very derogatory as well - its all about context
Well done, you're really getting to grips the British sense of humour. In the this scenario (what a complete C#@*) was actually an insult not the friendly banter it can be used as. It's all to do with the tone, context & internation
You're not wrong, we can call each other a c--- in a positive manner here in the UK. However, it depends on how you say it and who you're saying it to as it can also be used in a more general, jovial manner or it can be used extremely negatively. You have to be trained up in the use of c--- from a young age.
Be very careful with certain words You can use them between friends and they won’t be offensive, but other times you use the same word and it can be extremely offensive
🙋🏼♂️ 🇬🇧 i just noticed you are not far off 100 k .. lets gooooooooo !! .. c'mon folks get these guys over the line ASAP !! 🤞🏻🤞🏻👍🏻 oh & Micky just being Micky , hell yeah 😂 Bro said " of course Micky " at the start .. sorry i don't think you want Micky coming in your " house " 🤭 🤣 🤣 syrup is rhyming slang .. syrup of figs = wig .. NOOOOO the C word is used a lot but not so much in a friendly way . It depends on the emphasis you put on that word . You can call your mate " a stupid C" if they fall in love 😋 but " a F'ing C " or that person is just the "C "word means they are bad , a wrong 'un , a creep , not right etc etc etc . It is the worst word of all the swears !!! 👍🏻 oh hell no a Chelsea fan .. i need to unsubscribe 🤣 🤣 🤣
It's offensive to call someone a c..t to their face, but used carefully it adds emphasis to a joke or just in banter. You have to be careful with it though.
When he said "look at the syrup" he was using Cockney rhyming slang...."syrup of figs" = "wigs" ("apples and pears" = "stairs" etc)
Also 'nut' = head
Barnet Fair (often shortened to just 'Barnet') = Hair.
I didn't know this syrup of figs one even (and I'm from Watford! rofl)
@@watchreadplayretro it’s old school cockney that one 😊
Been in the UK since 06... I'm still confused lol. And I speak 7 languages :)
If you live in England long enough you'll realise "insults" are often terms of endearment. It just means we're comfortable with you and enjoy getting it back.
some, not all lol
@@_eclipz_ Yes but you'll know the difference.
I love your guys laughter, cracking up at our Micky. Love from UK 🇬🇧

Love your cockney accents, sounded like deep Glaswegian ❤️🇬🇧
I love that they tried to say 'provoctive' in a cockney accent but because it was mixed with their own accent, they sounded Scottish.
Oh you two are just to nice ❤
Beautiful couple. Do not mess it up. And very knowledgeable 🙏🩷🩷👍
Love Micky his so brilliant and love you both ❤
Love the LPs
Every single day we take the piss! It could be your friends,your mother anybody will do😂

If you don't understand anything said, just ask - we'll be glad to help
We are all the same as Micky.Every day to each otherc
The British verbal between rival soccer fans is called "Banter" and is usually good natured. It is a back handed way of showing respect,
Love this reaction and how you are embracing our slang language and humour. 😂 Have you tried Only Fools & Horses, a very popular and classic UK sitcom.
Gotta do the going out out bit
I think you two will love Benny Hill - wife swap, it's very funny and take you in many twists and turns

It's been too long between Micky reactions. more please.
Great reaction guys, it's cute how you are learning English from Micky. You'll be talking like cockneys in no time 😄
Brilliant? Love you both
Freddie Laker Airlines was a cheap airline briefly in the late 70's early 80's just for reference. Cockney = Syrup fig - wig.
The Syrup is a reference to cockney rhyming slang (syrup of fig = wig).
Carol's reaction at 1 55 is priceless
Carol, you are soooooooo fit!!!!
You two are rainbows in an ever darkening world.

Syrup of fig means wig, hence syrup
you guys figured out that there's a subtitle button on these videos yet ?
apparently 90% of the entire world doesn't know baout this button
Very true. You are more likely to be called a cnut by your friends than you are by your enemies.
Aye, calling someone a Cnt is often used with friends.
❤ from Northeast England ❤️
Have a look at the syrup is a reference to syrup of fig in cockney slang syrup of fig means wig
You should watch ... Harry Enfield - Arsenal('33) Vs Liverpool('91)
Syrup and fig Cockney rhyming slang for wig

Yes we do - to call someone a c**** is usually a term of endearment in the UK ----usually ---- but not necessarily all the time as it can be very derogatory as well - its all about context
Whereas in Aus and NZ it seems to be every other word!
She says "I do it all properly".
Well done, you're really getting to grips the British sense of humour.
In the this scenario (what a complete C#@*) was actually an insult not the friendly banter it can be used as. It's all to do with the tone, context & internation
I’ve called my dearest friends a cnt and they are still my dearest friends
Here we go 🏴🙂
"We do things properly in the UK".
"We do everything properly!"
"Yes Madam, I'm sure you do. F#cking up peoples' DVD's being one of them!"
Syrup is cockney rhyming slang for wig, syrup and fig = wig.
You need to watch - Monty Python - Funniest Joke in the World you will like this
Syrup
Syrup of figs = Wig
Trust me the "C Word" is generally considered offensive here.
All in context amongst friends it really is not.
You're not wrong, we can call each other a c--- in a positive manner here in the UK. However, it depends on how you say it and who you're saying it to as it can also be used in a more general, jovial manner or it can be used extremely negatively. You have to be trained up in the use of c--- from a young age.
Where I lived in The UK, if you called someone a C..... your Face would hurt, ;-) it always depends on the context .
Syrup of fig = wig
Barnet = hair, Barnet fair, cockney
Be very careful with certain words You can use them between friends and they won’t be offensive, but other times you use the same word and it can be extremely offensive
i recommend Lee Evans and if your really want to cross the line, then i would recommend Jimmy Carr (not for the faint-hearted haha)
Another great cockney comedian was Mike Reid (RIP) Check him out. 🙂
🎉😂🍺🥳👍👏
the C . U. N. T. word is both used as a derogatory remark or Can be used as an affectionate remark...
oh man, using potato audio mixer, gone up in estimations

Yes, Chelsea is the 'C' word.
It's offensive to call someone a c..t to their face, but used carefully it adds emphasis to a joke or just in banter. You have to be careful with it though.
No. C*"T is a bad word. The worst.
The C word is derogatory , and usually used in an aggressive context . Great reaction guys .
Not in Scotland. We always describe a great person as a Gid Cunt, its used as a kinda term of endearment lol
