“I never associate the UK and slang”. Bruh, your gunna get a SUPRISE when you come here and realise you don’t speak English no more
G & Tea especially if he comes up to Scotland
How don’t they? Do they not think we HAVE slang?
ShadyBeAShooketh yeh and let’s be honest, no one actually speaks queens English/RP anymore
Tylor Graham definitely! They will think they were dropped if in like Scandinavia
G & Tea hardly anyone actually speaks like it you idiot
Imagine thinking England speaks the Queen's English and finding out we speak Roadmanese
roadmanese lmao
I’m so done 🤣
Destiny M true 😂😂😂😂
Roadmanese needs to be added to the oxford dictionary 😂
Omg that is so true
American view of the uk:
" tea, gentlemen, queen, posh, class"
Europeen view of the uk:
"gangsters, Stormzy, peng tings, guns"
Knives not guns
roadmen and shanks*
That’s London pal no the UK
Europeen lol
Amber Louise ha ha 😂 that's a new slang word right there
*“Hit me with that peng peng”*
Wow just wow
Wallahi I’m dead

As someone from England this feels like I’m watching people who can’t speak English
inediblealex25 that says more about you than the video. As an almost 60 year old, I knew all of them.
inediblealex25 Are you alright?
@inediblealex25 the difference between old school slang of the 70s and 80s compared to modern slang is 1. it was wittier, 2. it used real words and 3. it generally sounds more approachable and sociable, I'm 27 and most of the speech patterns I use are old school slang, if you watch The Bill in the 80s its full of it, it sounds so British.
IT DOES💀💀
Hahaha ikr
Imagining an American person say ‘Mate’ scares me
.... I'm disturbed to think about that
Or lad
That's just wrong.
they over enunciate everything so much it’s so cringeeee like just say it normal
Hahaaaa
These lot have clearly never met a roadman
They are lucky

D 1 yeah but you said “and then word is Jamaican”. But that’s not true. It’s not just Jamaican, it’s patois. Which is carabin. Just saying you’d piss off a lot of ppl if u said it’s Jamaican

The UK has many accents. It's not just a stereotypical royal Queen accent.
That’s the same with any country. Chances are, when you think American accent, you think LA or deep south. There are a lot more accents other than those 2, but they’re the most common and well known, especially when portrayed in media. That’s why all Americans think we speak Queen’s English. There aren’t many films which have British accents which aren’t posh London.

“Clapped”, “nonce”, “butters”, “wagwan” honestly disappointing 😂😂😂
Jennifer Neale Wagwaan is Jamaican- My culture. Also Ting, Rahh, and Bredrin! England peeps just adopt what we have. It’s okay learning it and joining in but it isn’t “English”. Most of you didn’t even know what it was at first and grew livid hearing “Black” people use all slang all the time. Black inherited- then Jamaican adopted. It’s mostly Roadmen talk in england = black males. Everyone else follows.
Loli mcimco surely it’s English as well? Been around for a while now
Lawrence Moore Nope
Taneisha xxx why not?
Loli mcimco it came from the coloured people saying it

First thing UK thinks of America: "Obesity"

I thought he said "teeth",yet another generalisation.
i worked with an American recently who had never been to the UK before and he was astonished we DIDNT all have bad teeth and wear bowler hats and everyone carried an umbrella.
In truth,we are as diverse as its possible to be and because of the mix of cultures,we have the richest character in the world,and the very best sense of humour.NOTHING is taboo.

The first thing I think of is Harry Potter tbh

Wagwarn doesn’t mean the same thing as piff tho. Wagwarn means “what’s going on” lol
Dan I wasn’t saying it was the same I was saying that its more used than piff
Matt Chick yh dw I misread
7:43 They got Bare so so Wrong 😂🤣😂🤣
disappointed they didn’t include:
“Battyfish”
“Leng”
“I’ll bust your ‘ead open/I’ll bop your head.”
“You’re ‘ard.”
“Don’t be tight/ That’s peak.”
“slaggasaurus(common in South Yorkshire)”
“Flagging us off”

MaZe patois (pronounced pat-wah) is how you properly say Jamaican.
@@bellab6794 Ok...
I find it quite strange to call some of these expressions 'British' because we used them back home (Jamaica) and even the pronunciation is maintained. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Context : Many Jamaicans have migrated to the UK, namely to London, England, and I have on several occasions heard our Patois, or words rather, being incorporated into British slang.
yeah that's why their slang is the same in toronto.

Blame the media industry. All we import is Downtown Abbey, The Crown & War movies. Films & TV about Black British culture are hardly made. You'll see black faces, but never in a black context. The only examples I can think of Kidulthood & Blue Story and those are specifically about the road life. What about girls like me who grow up in estates but go to university? I have never seen that before. Because roles where black Brits go about their daily lives are virtually non - existent, actors like Daniel Kaluuya have to take American roles & American viewers do not discover they are British until they see them on Jimmy Fallon. There is a bit of green on the horizon though. British director Steve McQueen is directing a BBC series called Small Axe which is set during 1980s England I believe with John Boyega & Letitia Wright as major characters. It is about time.
I'm from the UK (Wales) and have never heard any of these terms, and I'm very proud to say that!
