Nobody says "Bless Your Heart" like a southern woman. It can be a compliment, a commiseration, a dismissal or an outright insult... And spoken so sweetly.
I mean, they didn’t have much for us on those slides. I was a bit disappointed because I feel like people only know the big phrases or words and don’t realize that a lot of our little areas in the south use massive amounts of slang but nobody uses ‘em much on the internet since they think nobody will get it.
@@matthewhenington8139 But also, "mug" and "geezer" are Southern words Matthew could've elaborated on. "Ooh, she's got an ugly mug (face/expression)," and "Man, he's such an old geezer (cranky, elder person)."
I'm Texan too. Just north of Dallas. You are definitely correct about "bless your heart". It can always be used by old ladies when they see you trying to handle 3 boys in a grocery store. Or a shoe store. Or a restaurant. Or...anywhere. Yep, I heard it alot.
@@noahbowie5985 He's probably had just as many roles as an american as a Brit. His most well known character he plays an American so I can definitely see what youre saying.
That's why Charlie hunnam should play green arrow! He looks the part and acts it, too. Green arrow has always been the bad boy that actually is intelligent, but refuses to put the effort.
Well,he`s a Geordie and has affected a New York accent,a working-class Southern Californian accent(Which is my natural accent,by the way),a working-class NorCal accent,a more stereotypical English accent,an Irish accent,a Southern accent and a Canadian accent in his films and shows.
TM Delacrush I’ve never been to England but Charlie and Hugh have very different English accents, so it’s quite possible one was doing Northern English slang and the other was doing southern English slang
@@Anonymous-fj2uo it's used both ways and you just have to use context clues. If someone told you their dog ran away the same day they lost their job, saying "bless your heart" would not be taken as sarcasm
I went back to rewatch that part and OMG!😂😂😂 They both were literally side-eyeing the camera! Freaking hilarious!😂😂😂 Thank you for pointing it out. I needed that laugh today.🤗👍
Charlie slowly getting his accent back.... but we can all still hear Jax coming back up. Imagine faking an American accent for 7 years and trying to go back to your original accent.
I have binged SO A 9 times plus original and love Jax, but throughout this video, I did not think of Jax once! The setting, beard, and accent pulled me back to reality. But did you ever notice when Jax did scenes in Ireland or with Irish his .CA accent would drift off a bit? 🤣🤣
I was thinking the same thing! I had no idea that he wasn't American lol I never really thought about it tbh. I don't think about it often unless am accent is obvious. Or obviously being failed lol
Lindsey Lubeck you can kind of tell in the first couple seasons of SoA but after that he got it down. Now he needs help getting his British accent back lol
My dad went to high school with Matthew McConaughey and speaks exactly like him cause he grew up in west Texas. He walks into a room with a little "howdy howdy" and my son picked it up and speaks like that too. "Mom you reckon the movies is still open" it's hilarious.
Now imagine if they included the different stages of evolution for "y'all" - 1. You all = y'all 2. You all would have = y'all'd've 3. You all would have if I would have = y'all'd've'f'I'd've
Now now... what you should have said was, "It would be absolutely wonderful to partake in his teachings!" All us Englishmen can take you through it. 🤣🤣

Matthew McConaughey failed to mention how "Bless your heart" is not a compliment. It's what an older woman says when she thinks you're naive or stupid. It's like saying "Oh you poor thing you're so dumb."

I wonder how it got to be a compliment though. It didn't start out that way. Here is the etymology: geezer (n.) derisive word for an old man, 1885, according to OED a variant of obsolete Cockney guiser "mummer" (late 15c.; see guise) It seems like British people use it without respect to the personality or age of the person being identified as a geezer. I wonder why it changed to just mean a "person".
I wouldn't say it's a compliment in England. Maybe in the more 'low-brow' communities, but anyone more upper class would consider it an insult. A geezer would be a compliment of the context of one of the lads doing something extremely dumb in Ibiza with the other lads, who think it was hilarious
Lmao I felt exactly how they did 😂😂😂 and when he said his accent was coming back I'm pretty sure that word did it! Lol I was so confused. I'm glad you guys literally spelled it out 😂

@@rafisadia1281 he is a common type in London or Sussex. But not in Anglesey or Aberdeen or Accrington. There's a huge amount of diversity in Britain and to call Grant "the epitome" of Britishness is highly problematic and classist.
But what Matthew failed to explain is the term “Bless your heart” has MANY MANY uses. It can be sad, derogatory, even offensive. But can also be a sweet connotation ... it’s very versatile.
It's same in England, people who mean it sincerely are generally over a certain age. If someone below an old age says it, they are definitely being condescending.
Nicole Tunis He’s actually been kicked out of a bar once because Fimmel got in a bar fight in there, the owner thought they were the same person.

Tbh, we don't say it much in Texas. It's a Southern expression, not a Texan one. Plus Texas was never a cotton-producing powerhouse like The South. Cotton isn't so important to our culture like it is to Southerners.
@@haleyanne86 I don't know why people still bring that up, the incident happened in 1995 and had absolutely no effect on his career. The real reason he wasn't working much in the last decade is that he is campaigning for better privacy laws, which started when he personally exposed the tabloid press of phone hacking. That said, he's been working more lately and you should definitely check out both Paddington 2 and A Very English Scandal, he's phenomenal in both.
Actually he's been getting more awards attention than ever with "Florence Foster Jenkins", "Paddington 2" and "A Very English Scandal" - all very acclaimed performances. check them out.
'Jack the lad' does not mean excellent man. It means someone who considers himself to be very attractive to women, especially one who will probably prove unfaithful to one woman. A brash, confident masculine, usually young, man.
"Jack the lad" originated as one of the nick-names of Jack Sheppard, also known as "Gentleman Jack" and "Honest Jack." His life reads reminiscent of a Robin Hood film, if Robin Hood were a drunk cockney burglar who married a prostitute. He died by hanging at 22.
In my neck o'the Texan woods, the phrase is a much classier "shittin' in tall cotton", meaning doing alright for oneself financially. It is sometimes used as kind of a put down a blue collar country boy might say about their high school classmate who went into a white collar job and makes more money and may or may not think he's better than his roots.
Jake Roark innit, it’s just kind of like a reconfirmation. You’re not really asking isn’t it or don’t it, I guess it’s kind of like “you know what I mean?” It’s just a casual, attempt at involving you more in the conversation innit
Matthew was very kind in his explanation of "Bless Your Heart". It's more often used with gracious-sounding snark to infer what someone just said or did was stupid as all get out. :D "My neighbor's daughter decided to date a drummer." "Aww. Well, bless her heart."
For anyone that's interested, it's "Walkin' In High Cotton", it means you're doing very well, having good fortune. Also, "Dadgum" is one word, and can also be said "Daggum" .
Can be downright sarcastic, too. Sometimes in Oklahoma, in my experience, it can be heartfelt, but living in Texas I noticed the patronizing or sarcastic use more often.
Matthew McConaughy with glasses looks like a cool experienced doctor surgeon, who knows his job well, and puts patients at ease during a surgery. He should play this role in some movie.
I believe I have heard "in tall cotton" in the context of someone being in a tough situation that they are going to have a hard time finding their way out of.
re: 3:19 ("corn-fed") What they said is accurate, but two side notes: 1. It's accurate with humans, since many of the burly/stocky people in the midwest have a lot of corn and associated substantial foods (farm-grown vegetables and meat) in their diet; but it really originates from talking about cattle and deer. A lot of corn is grown as feed for cattle, and a lot of deer eat corn from the fields; both end up having more (and arguably better-tasting) meat on them, which translates to more and/or better food for humans. So that description was transferred to people, too. (Sub-side-note: Corn-fed cattle are still usually only fed more corn toward the end of their lives, when they're about to become food.) 2. Often it's used a bit sarcastically to describe someone who's overweight, but when used more literally, at least in the midwest, it's not an insult, even with women. It just means they're well-fed and not skinny; but they could still be very healthy, strong, athletic, and often very attractive.
Mathew is looking like hes wondering what he got himself into and the other two are busy giving him heck about it. I love it. These three are so funny together. Chriss 🇬🇧
I think it's funny, or more like interesting, that our Vikings (I am a Swede) had an impact on the British language 😉 At least around those areas where this "people of the North" stayed and lived for the rest of their lives. Sometimes it's words for different things/items, sometimes it's the names of villages and other places. And then there's just "words" 😅 like WOR {vår=our}, but the word vår can also mean "spring" 🙂. As many Vikings stayed and became farmers (like most Vikings really were, in the homeland), I believe the word wor, in the beginning was meant for spring (vår), bc the spring time was a VERY important time (both as farmers, but it also meant that the weather became better so the Vikings could sail away and do more trading&plundering 🚣🗡️⚔️🛡️🗝️ ☺️.) Sorry, long text 😔 but I find this thing about words and their history, interesting 🌹😀.
We loved this movie! Thanks for the linguistical education for British speak. Missouri uses a lot of that Texan slang. My college orchestra conductor always said, “Dadgummit!”
Mcconaghey is the most relaxed dude ever, in any situation. Nothing phases him. I aspire to that level of chill.

@@StabbyMcBlade I think he did canny TBH like. Bless his heart. ;)
@@loobylouboti haha don't get me wrong, i do like him, just can't stand to hear it well spoken, it sounds less offensive in its true common form, just like me...😂
What is geordie?

Mr Grant is an epitome of an ideal British gentleman.
Absolutely
He's very southern English. His type is not common across the UK
@@bl00dhoney yeah but then he's not common people; I think that's what makes him stand out even more
@@rafisadia1281 he is a common type in London or Sussex. But not in Anglesey or Aberdeen or Accrington. There's a huge amount of diversity in Britain and to call Grant "the epitome" of Britishness is highly problematic and classist.
@@bl00dhoney he's the ideal posh Englishman... there. Happy?
Hugh Grant doing an excellent, if possibly unintentional, Michael Caine impersonation. This is life.
Hugh Grant is turning into Michael Caine. And I’m not mad about it.
Haha very true
Love this comment
I agree!!!
This made me laugh so hard.
Dude. This comment. So eye opening. Like...Duuuuuuuude...YES...EXACTLY!
They should've gotten Colin Farrell in this interview to teach you Irish slang.
Omg yes
They really should have ! - Four geezers would've been a great 'Dish' !

@@MikeRiderOOO That will be amazing, Colin is just such a fun actor to watch. In Bruges is my favorite movie of his.
Joe McKim Yes my man!
But what Matthew failed to explain is the term “Bless your heart” has MANY MANY uses. It can be sad, derogatory, even offensive. But can also be a sweet connotation ... it’s very versatile.
We’d use “Ah,bless his cotton socks” in the same mixed way
Exactly
He meant it in a dear way. A Gentleman
I've always found it more condescending than anything else
The phrase in the condescending way like that, is still actually British
I'm an old Texan and have always used "bless your heart" as a term of endearment and kindness. How you use it, depends on the situation.
Same as us Cockney's in London we use it as a term of endearment also, if not that everyone is a "Darling" 🏴🇬🇧
Same here. I never use it to be ugly. Almost always to express sympathy for someone who is going through (or has gone through) a hard time.
It's same in England, people who mean it sincerely are generally over a certain age. If someone below an old age says it, they are definitely being condescending.
I just found out that I have THE biggest crush on Charlie Hunnam.
Welcome to the club, love
Yes welcome to the club......I’ve been here a while! 😂
@@alle6621 It’s a fun club to be fair! 😂
I think I’ve had a crush on Charlie since Sons Of Anarchy.. Jax 😍
Who doesn't????
"Hug Grant & Charlie Hunnam talk about British language while McConaughey chills after his daily blunt"
LOL. “Is she a looker ? ... bit corn-fed” dead ☠️😂
In the black community, this is a compliment.
@@taylorsee864 In the Southern community this is a compliment. God, I hate MM. 🤢
I've always heard it referring to girls who are thick, but in a good way. 🤷♀️
@@jl-carter he is right tho, being "corn-fed"/fat slob, is not pretty nor healthy
Well I feel “mugged off” with the corn fed woman comment being spoken negatively..am I the only one?

So cute 🥰 🤣🤣🤣
I read this at the exact same time he said it.
Very cute.
Charlie could play a Viking anytime & I would buy it!
I was thinking Charlie and Travis Fimmel could play brothers!
he looks exactly like the dude on the tv show
Yes he looks like my cousins.
Yes!
Nicole Tunis He’s actually been kicked out of a bar once because Fimmel got in a bar fight in there, the owner thought they were the same person. Honestly, in my head canon, Vikings and Sons of Anarchy are in the same universe, Jax is a descendant of Ragnar. Considering Ubbe seems to be visiting America next season, it’s all just falling together. 😏
In my part of Texas, 'In Tall Cotton' means wealthy or affluent. Matthew is in tall cotton with that Lincoln deal.
Thank you! I'm a Texan and wasn't sure what it meant.
I always hear it as in high cotton not tall cotton.
Tbh, we don't say it much in Texas. It's a Southern expression, not a Texan one. Plus Texas was never a cotton-producing powerhouse like The South. Cotton isn't so important to our culture like it is to Southerners.
South Carolinian here. The phrasing is actually “high cotton” for my area. But yes, that’s essentially what it means. Prosperous, in any sense.
I’ve always heard it used “hes shittin’ in tall cotton”
Charlie and his sense of humor, love it!
Charlie Hunnam at 4:01 was everything i needed today and more
Soo good to see Hugh Grant acting again...it's been awhile since I've seen him act in anything lately. Always been my fav british actor.
Cuz he got busted with a prostiute
@@shuc.8089 how do you know that?
@@haleyanne86 I don't know why people still bring that up, the incident happened in 1995 and had absolutely no effect on his career. The real reason he wasn't working much in the last decade is that he is campaigning for better privacy laws, which started when he personally exposed the tabloid press of phone hacking. That said, he's been working more lately and you should definitely check out both Paddington 2 and A Very English Scandal, he's phenomenal in both.
*INHALES* PADDINGTON 2
Actually he's been getting more awards attention than ever with "Florence Foster Jenkins", "Paddington 2" and "A Very English Scandal" - all very acclaimed performances. check them out.
As a straight woman, I don't know how to react to this video tbh
ikr, where to look???
As I bisexual woman, I don't either. That's not true, I'm looking and Charlie Hunnam.

@@kkw726 sorry to hear that.
Matthew was so proud of Charlie for the corn-fed take 😂
Matthew's face listening to Charlie is PRICELESS.
this is exactly what everyone needs, even if they didn’t know they needed it
Hugh Grant was incredible in The Gentlemen. Best part of the movie. Best role in years
'Jack the lad' does not mean excellent man. It means someone who considers himself to be very attractive to women, especially one who will probably prove unfaithful to one woman. A brash, confident masculine, usually young, man.
Nice to see you here. Can’t wait for the “Jack the lad” video.
Kind of like an excellent man would come across
"Jack the lad" originated as one of the nick-names of Jack Sheppard, also known as "Gentleman Jack" and "Honest Jack." His life reads reminiscent of a Robin Hood film, if Robin Hood were a drunk cockney burglar who married a prostitute. He died by hanging at 22.
Jack the lad O'Connell

If a southerner says "bless your heart," 9 times out of 10 it means "you idiot." I love the south.
Tom Hardy should definitely be in the sequel.
Definitely not Tom Holland.
Agree 100%
@Free World don’t matter
@Free World Interesting. Are there some other mockney-examples like him?
@@brl987 Tom Holland might do well
The fact that Charlie Hunnam mentioned and talked about Jack O'Connell just made my life complete
I didn't expect Hugh Grant to be the largest of the three
Matthew slouches.
Matthew lost his physique after dallas buyers club. That role destroyed him physically
@shaun king who hurt you mate?
Largest torso. Maybe his legs are short.
rumour has it he's also the largest down there
Honestly Hugh Grant went next level in performance in this movie. I've never seen a performance like that in my life.
Agree
Hugh is getting old, but he’s still attractive.
Very
Amazing isn’t it?! People getting old ... sheesh
I honestly think he looks better than ever. Silver fox!
🤢 I kindly disagree!
In MS it’s “in high cotton” and it means wealthy. “They’re living in high cotton”-they’re a rich family.
Same here.
Texan, I always heard as tall in the cotton. Feels like they got a little mixed up between the two ways of saying it.
In my neck o'the Texan woods, the phrase is a much classier "shittin' in tall cotton", meaning doing alright for oneself financially. It is sometimes used as kind of a put down a blue collar country boy might say about their high school classmate who went into a white collar job and makes more money and may or may not think he's better than his roots.
In my neck of the woods (North Carolina) we say "high cotton" too. Same meaning. Sounds like he was thrown a curve ball and did his best to answer.
I feel like Matt M. Is trying his hardest to explain his old Texas roots but the Hollywood life style took over
Dswizz96 it’s really because we never have to explain ourselves to each other. We just get what the other is saying. Lol
You don’t hear tall cotton much in Texas. That’s further south. I feel like with bless your heart was a bit of a stumble though.
I mean not every texan grew up in a small town or on a ranch to know all the slang. hugh dont seem too in touch with british street slang either.
What you mean? He lives in Austin Texas, not Hollywoood, and while he works everywhere in the world, that is not a way to forget your roots
You’re obviously not a Texan yourself.
"What's between a geezer and a Jack the Lad?"
"Well it's a josser innit"
Charlie, that doesn't help in any way!
@Nic DeGrave What is it good for!
@@Cpt50Caliber absolutely nothing
I feel bad for Matthew because he probably was like "oooohhh...(???)" like the rest of us Americans did at that "explanation." 😂😂😂😂
Defining the word with itself is mental..
This by far my fave. So much chemistry. Also Hunnam’s deep laugh could make me purr like a kitten 🙋🏻♀️
Charli is soooo good looking oh my and his voice
I could listen to Charlie Hunnam talk all day 😊
Charlie always being like "It'n it?" or "Don't it?", you tell me Charlie...you tell me.
Jake Roark innit, it’s just kind of like a reconfirmation. You’re not really asking isn’t it or don’t it, I guess it’s kind of like “you know what I mean?” It’s just a casual, attempt at involving you more in the conversation innit
@Private Horler 4th Somerset yup basically aha
Matthew was very kind in his explanation of "Bless Your Heart". It's more often used with gracious-sounding snark to infer what someone just said or did was stupid as all get out. :D
"My neighbor's daughter decided to date a drummer."
"Aww. Well, bless her heart."
"He's one crayon short of a whole box. Bless his heart!"
this made me scooby doo laugh!!! 😆😆🤘🏼🤘🏼
Shes one fruit loop short of a cereal bowl. Bless her heart !
🤣🤣🤣 now that's how it is used properly
Oh this is by far the best comment and the one about the cereal haven't heard either in a minute 😂
@@Isabella1136 you're welcome 😂
For anyone that's interested, it's "Walkin' In High Cotton", it means you're doing very well, having good fortune. Also, "Dadgum" is one word, and can also be said "Daggum" .
dadgummit, dadnabbit, ummmm,
Geordie, the dialect is an adventure in itself
Enjoyed this very much 😊
Bless your heart is mostly used in a patronizing way. Like someone will say "oh bless your heart" if you ask a dumb question.
Definitely in the uk if someone is trying but getting no where they say bless him
@littlesmew yeh
Some may use it that way, but others are sincere.
Can be downright sarcastic, too. Sometimes in Oklahoma, in my experience, it can be heartfelt, but living in Texas I noticed the patronizing or sarcastic use more often.
Ah, so like in north east england we’d say “bless your cotton socks”
Matthew McConaughy with glasses looks like a cool experienced doctor surgeon, who knows his job well, and puts patients at ease during a surgery. He should play this role in some movie.
I like that Grant knows his linguistics and etymology.
Charlie’s voice is so pleasing to hear.
It’s HIGH COTTON. Not “tall” cotton. And yes, it means “doing well” or rich.
Thanks for this, grew up in the north of the states and scratching my head at that haha
It’s actually either depending on where you live. I am in lower Midwest and I’ve heard both routinely.
That's also a great song by Alabama.
I just came here to say the same thing! High cotton means wealthy. It's often used by African Americans as indicating upward mobility too.
I believe I have heard "in tall cotton" in the context of someone being in a tough situation that they are going to have a hard time finding their way out of.
re: 3:19 ("corn-fed")
What they said is accurate, but two side notes:
1. It's accurate with humans, since many of the burly/stocky people in the midwest have a lot of corn and associated substantial foods (farm-grown vegetables and meat) in their diet; but it really originates from talking about cattle and deer. A lot of corn is grown as feed for cattle, and a lot of deer eat corn from the fields; both end up having more (and arguably better-tasting) meat on them, which translates to more and/or better food for humans. So that description was transferred to people, too. (Sub-side-note: Corn-fed cattle are still usually only fed more corn toward the end of their lives, when they're about to become food.)
2. Often it's used a bit sarcastically to describe someone who's overweight, but when used more literally, at least in the midwest, it's not an insult, even with women. It just means they're well-fed and not skinny; but they could still be very healthy, strong, athletic, and often very attractive.
Someone was called corn-fed a couple times huh
I loved how Matthew McConaughey used the football reference, because honestly that’s the only way I’ve ever heard it used.
Hearing Hugh Grant speak like a "commoner" is the weirdest thing ever.
Go see The Gentlemen. It's the reason they are there together.
Mathew is looking like hes wondering what he got himself into and the other two are busy giving him heck about it. I love it.
These three are so funny together.

I think it's funny, or more like interesting, that our Vikings (I am a Swede) had an impact on the British language 😉 At least around those areas where this "people of the North" stayed and lived for the rest of their lives.
Sometimes it's words for different things/items, sometimes it's the names of villages and other places. And then there's just "words" 😅 like WOR {vår=our}, but the word vår can also mean "spring" 🙂.
As many Vikings stayed and became farmers (like most Vikings really were, in the homeland), I believe the word wor, in the beginning was meant for spring (vår), bc the spring time was a VERY important time (both as farmers, but it also meant that the weather became better so the Vikings could sail away and do more trading&plundering 🚣🗡️⚔️🛡️🗝️ ☺️.)
Sorry, long text 😔 but I find this thing about words and their history, interesting 🌹😀.
Very impressed by Grant’s etymology skills! 😯🇸🇪
We loved this movie! Thanks for the linguistical education for British speak. Missouri uses a lot of that Texan slang. My college orchestra conductor always said, “Dadgummit!”
i love that Matthew didn't really explain "bless your heart" at all
