Good to see you back with another timely reckoning!

This video perfectly encapsulates how it feels like to go on a trip of looking-for-a-word's-definition then accidentally derailing and spending the next half hour stumbling through wikipedia articles, I absolutely love it

annoying

Modern English is a mongrel language. A good book is 'The loom of language'

I understood that “irregardless” was meant to be used as a subject ender, regardless of all the information you’ve provided. Irregardless, I think we should focus on the excessive use of the word “too.”

Freud's drug fuelled misogynistic perversions and all the padded cells innocent people endured for opinions with zero benefit to anyone ever.

My dad was from Elephant and Castle. The traditional East End working class holiday was to do week or two hop or fruit picking in Kent. The Romani pretty much travelled around doing seasonal work on farms, country fares and even showmanship. He knew quite a lot of Romani words due to spending time with them.

As an Indian, and an ncc army wing cadet, you will see khaki everywhere. They might be different tones but they're the same sandy brown type colour. Even within the ncc troops khakis have a different tone. For some reason the manufacturers of our khaki uniforms can't match the colour. Either way, youll see khaki uniforms almost everywhere in India. Police, bus drivers, auto drivers, postmen etc.

😂 I enjoyed your program

Lollipop is nothing to do with Apples me old mate ,and you mentioned Drag ! but you didn't say what you thought it meant in Romanes ??

you are absolutely correct, khaki is tan, od green is what those troops were wearing

Utter Shite 🤣

i've always called them trumps 😜, and the action of doing it, to backfire 😜

“Kahhhkaeyyy”

Exactly. I hate when people use that word out of context.

Justice Antonin Scalia used "argle-bargle" on the US Supreme Court, but in the sense of "jiggery pokery", which he also used at another time.

Boot certainly mate

I've seen cor blimey in runescape nearly every day for 15 years at this point, and today I finally learned what it means!

I thought it was refreshing to read a story that stands against the whole "humanity spreading across the universe" idea. Earth is our only home. And it takes a WHOLE LOT MORE than just a rocky planet in the Goldilocks Zone with liquid water for us to survive. While I don't personally want it to be reality, It's mostly likely true that we will never travel and colonize other star systems.

This made me think of the Osiris myth in Ancient Egypt, where Osiris was tricked by his brother Seth to lay down in a trunk and basically Seth killed Osiris & threw the box in the water and it ended up in Lebanon where it grew into a beautiful, magical tree. The king cut off the tree trunk and used it as a pillar in his palace until Osiris's wife & sister Isis came and asked for the pillar/trunk to rescue Osiris. TLDR: Osiris is linked to both a box and a tree in Ancient Egypt, though etymologically there might not be a connection.

Good stuff! Chavi for child, Mush for man, Rackley for woman, Divvya for crazy person. Tons more that I heard throughout my childhood as a Romnichal.

Im from Sweden and we have so many everyday swedish words that come from the Romani people.. its insane.

In today's society people can use it in every sentence they think to me they sound ignorant

Brilliant!

0:12 I WAS DRINKIN DAMMIT Me too

Followed for citizen hobbyist etymology!!!! Do you have any degree, or like me just feel really intense about word history and neogism aka, etymology in the present tense? Haha there is the neogism of They as anon or androgynous or They as you literally think the voice in your head makes you plural XD there are defininitely two things there, and only one of them is valid. Its not the latter! Actual MPD multiple personality disorder, aka you feel you are plural in your brain, or BPD, where you act differently when any specific single other person is in the room, are crippling conditions worthy of pity and support and "I see you," not almost delusory and offending respect, when ye ent got yer own shit together mate. And even civil about this whole disagreeing nonsense, practically liberal in this day and age of dwindling democracy.

So gobbledygook is just philosophical language? As a first language speaker of exclusively "Essay English," haw.

I typically think of maverick as *almost* a straight sinonym of rogue. It certainly has that sense of wild actions, not taking orders, and at least potential for skulduggery. But yea is a bit more in the connotation they differ. Rogues may or may not be mercenary, bought, and or might hang out in a gang. Mavericks by definition are loners and do not take orders whatsoever. Also for some reason when you say maverick its sort of noble on the baseline, while rogue is not. You can say maverick soldier and it would be bad because by definiton they work together. Rogue congressman, hey! Someone who won't kowtow to bullshit! But the bare words have a neutral rest at slightly good and slightly bad.

American here! Back when I was a tiny lad of 15! I played Dragon Quest 8 and frankly the Joke of the King sneaking up on Yangus and him jumping in surprise and saying Cor Blimey always stuck in my head (that I do it myself, despite being well american and rarely around anything UK related, it's one of those things that stays with you in your brain from your childhood I guess) but I was always curious on what it mean! Happy to finally have that answered now after so many decades (36 as of this year)

i like ya teeth

Interesting vid 👍 To me put a sock in it is a jokey way of referring to someone to be quiet. Not a phrase I think I have ever used. Interestingly it doesn't make me think of someone being abducted as it does you, probably because to me it just seems a relatively harmless if somewhat odd phrase. But yes, one of those phrases that once you start thinking about it is pretty interesting.

Jao is in our language too❤

Friday Twenty-Fourth of February Two Thousand And Twenty-Three. 06.30am. Dear Sir/Madam. Good-morning. How are you? I hope you are well. My Father, always used this "Cor blimey .."I never realized it is a British saying. 😐 I thought, he had made up (invented two words). Thank you for your video. 🌹 Mr Francesca Al Kray.

I thought it stood for Flatulence At Rear Torso !?!

Encloypaedia.

Hell hath no fury like a fat chick in a buffet

I was told it came from the self admonishment god blind me. Which was considered something you didn’t say in public for religious reasons. So cor blimey or for Blumey was considered a mild oath. Much as god fearing Irish Catholics say the word feck. Instead of you know what.😅😅😅😅

Pal from pral Dinlo is simple…div is stupid

Remarkable! Splendid stuff from our friend Tim. Don't be flustered by his, sometimes brusque manner. Our sesqipedalian speaker's brusquery is no more than a ribald condiment - mere pepper on top of the friendly fried egg of his charm and obvious erudition. Mr.T is definitely a chap but, by no means is he cheap. Hats off, gentlemen, and ladies!

Actually calling it "duck tape" is a return to the original. Duck tape was originally made with cotton duck, a heavy canvas. The original duck tape started around the turn of the 20th century and was adhesive free. It was used for everything from insulating and weatherproofing cables to creating clothing and home decor. During WWII it was made with adhesive. After being found to be (very temporarily) effective at repairing HVAC duct-work, it started to be called "duct tape" in the late 1960's. We have since found it be very bad under hot, dry conditions, so it is used for ducts much less often.

Some of the synonyms are quite tasty. I mean, what he said, cinnomins, are quite tasty. There was your joke.

In this video Your talking between a few different dialects in romaness Hotchin Tan - stoping place Chavo - Boy Chavi - Girl Glata - Baby / infant Lacho - Good Cushti - good but different dialect Not dinlo , it’s dinler or dinla - fool Jel - is the third person to go Ja- is to go or jav meaning you Lulow-poppy - red apple Lulu’gee - red rose or flower Pral - better way to pronounce the word brother

lol

It's been discredited has it? By whom? A bunch of secret poo lovers no doubt 🤪

Ive used semi monthly. It means 2x in a month. Biweekly means every other week. Theres not always 4 weeks in a month so sometimes semi monthly is more specific about the bounds by which a meeting or event should take place. Totally thought fortnight was something to do with forts....

Khakish Greenish Yellow.

🤣😂 you are lovely 🌹 thank you for the lesson Mr england terra xo Letting in the hoi polloi ..watch the docos. My friend told me English aristocracy was built on slavery ! ?
