Eat Sleep Dream English that is really nice thank you 😍
I'm an American and Peckish is one of my favorite British adjective that I use all the time. But I do love all things British. ❤
I am a former Dutch 🇳🇱citizen who was brought up in Brazil 🇧🇷 and who's (for the last 30+ years) as Canadian 🇨🇦 as maple syrup☺️.
I fell in ❤️ love with the English 🇬🇧 language when I first started learning it at the age of 18. My Mom (you say 'Mum' 😄) sent me to The Kings School of English in Bournemouth for three months. I loved every minute of my experience and the ONE word that until today immediately comes to mind, the #1 on my list of words that are exclusively Certified British, by a long shot, is the praise "Brilliant!", as in "that was absolutely brilliant!".
We tend to say "awesome" or "amazing".
Many of the words you mentioned I though had actually originated here as they're quite North American today.
Great job, I enjoy your videos, they're all... well, what can I say?
absolutely brilliant!!!! 😄🤗❤️
You are very respectable and polite because you don't pronounce the rude swearing words
My favourite English adjective of all times is FLABBERGASTED! I LOVE this word. I know it's not slang or young and fresh, probably not even very common, but it is sooooo nice! I always smile when I come across it!
You're such a smashing English teacher. Thanks a million.😄
Great lesson, sir.
I'm really chuffed that you presented the lesson well :)
Another great and useful lesson! Thanks Tom!
Here in the U.S., we also use "pissed off" to mean angry, irate, and in the same way as in Brittain.
We also use "wasted", "plastered" "sh-t-faced" and "hammered" to mean very drink.
Hi Tom! I am a Japanese who loves in the US and recently started reading novels written by British authors. I found this video really useful. Some phrases (like “blues and twos”) puzzle me and my dictionary doesn’t tell me the meaning of them so I usually have to google it. it would be great if you could cover some more of those very unique British sayings and phrases!
Very useful video! I do enjoy it! Thank you!
Thank you for your video! I love it, very useful. I love British accent, especially yours
No sooner I had started watching your videos than I really improved my conversational English
Nice video Tom! One of my favourite British adjs is Dench which means Brilliant
Man, I learned a lot with your videos, I dare to say you have the best methodology, it's really a great work, Tom.
Hugs.
Hi Tom...such a cute genuine English teacher and another great video. Thanks Tom. ❤👍👏👏👏

Hi there!
Lovely words! Thanks!
I love extreme adjectives such as:
'Parched': Extremely thirsty.
'Drenched': Very, very wet.
'Ecstatic': Really happy.
'Hilarious': Very funny.
'Gorgeous': Extremely beautiful.
I could go on and on! :)
Ahh nice Julia, those are fantastic words : ) I'm very partial to the word parched : )
Eat Sleep Dream English hahaha...
How about dank, can you explain what that means and why people associated it with memes when it means "slightly damp"
I haven't heard or used those first two words in ages.

U are very welcome my dear teacher keep going bless u
Dodgy was the first word that came to my mind. Idk why I love you british vocab. Though I have to say ‘pissed off’ and ‘hammered’ are way too often used here in the US to have made onto this list. Maybe they’re widely used in both countries. But hammered is like the first adj I’d think of to describe someone who is really drunk, followed closely by ‘wasted’. As for pissed off, well it’s also probably the first word one would use to describe when someone’s angry, even more so than either ‘angry’ or ‘mad’ BUT I’ll have to admit that we tend to use ‘pissed’ more often. To us, pissed is a shortened version of pissed off (I don’t believe you guys drop the ‘off’) Regardless, even pissed off with the off is extremely common here.
boozed up and woozy crossed my mind...cheers 🍻
Hehe boozed up is awesome! Thanks for sharing Anny : )
Thanks !
nice video! I like it
No.s 1 and 10 (peckish and jammy) were new to me - I already knew the other ones! But still very helpful! (And, funny enough, I learned "chuffed" in the Great British Bake Off! Andrew said it all the time, and I guessed the meaning, but looked it up, and that's why 'chuffed' wasn't new to me! :-) )
Thank you !
You are very welcome Sofia : )
"tacky" is quite a good British one too i guess, when applied to people a bit overdone, flashy, close to vulgar.... Kim Kardashian would be my typical "tacky" person (according to my personal scale, but up to every one!). Also applied to anything that is rather cheap or in bad taste, a tacky attitude, a tacky place, a tacky shirt.... What would be the most typical situations you would ever use the word? How typically British? Is it used the same way in the US?
"tacky" is widely used in the US.
I haven't heard that word used in ages. "That bar is very tacky, I would never go in there." "Tacky" means sticky, grimmy, dirty, unclean. Low class, uncouth, tasteless. "OMG! Did you see that dress she was wearing last night? So very tacky".
Brilliant😊😉
Truly u have a hilarious sense of humour Tom ☺
Regards,
Ahmad,
Hehe thanks Ahmad
“Cracking toast, Gromit!” Maybe old, but I love it.
Can you please also do a formal adjectives version!
You are the best!!! 😀😘
Some of these we use in the States.... Rough, Pissed off are regularly used here
I use "gutted" when I am so upset, I have no words !
Thanks Tom
very nice, funny, interesting videos.
You're videos are fun, informative, and you have a beautiful smile. What's not to like?
That's really kind Billy, much appreciated. I'm glad you find them helpful : )
Hey Tom I'm Thanya. Today's class is yet stalwart.. It imposing your style of teaching..
some words...
1. Exhilarating - very exciting
2. Terrific.- very good
3. Venerable - antique.
4. Petrichor - sand smell that occurs during rainfall.
Thank you so much Tom because of you I learnt many words..✌✌💟
Mani kkalaiarasan nice
Never heard a word used for that smell. That will be hard to remember. Is it because I have watched so much British videos that some sound common to me?
I guess it's vulnerable and not venerable 🤔
M I ryt? If not then plz clear my doubt 😃
@@mysticvibez8408 "Venerable" means old, respected, honored. "He's a venerable religious leader in his country." "Vulnerable" means a very good possibility of being injured, hurt, get sick, being used, deceived, conned. "She's very vulnerable to be used and hurt by handsome and charming men". "She has a medical condition that makes her very vulnerable and susceptive to getting sick easily.". "He's very vulnerable. He'll fall for the same joke, trick, or prank every time."
What the heck is a "sand smell"? How does sand smell, smell like what? Good Lord!! All these words I have never seen nor heard of before in my life. I feel like i'm learning a foreign language. Speak English you wankers!!
Peckish: a little bit hungry
Rough: ill/sick
Gutted: very disappointed
Pissed off: angry
Knackered: very tired
Chuffed: very pleased
Dodgy: potentially dangerous
you always daze me in your spectacular didactic videos Tom you are the best you have just killed them all you know what I mean BEST TEACHER EVER
Finicky! Being very choosy and fussy about something, often about food. Also iffy (from if), mostly used when talking about the weather: it looks iffy today, meaning it looks pretty changeable and unstable.
Hello thanks for this useful video but I'm a little bit confused 😖 we use all of these (adj) after the verb ( not usually before a noun ) but I guess "Hammy " and "dodgy" are exceptions, however, we use them after a verb but also we can use them before a noun, yes - for example, "she is such a Jammy girl "
Do I get it right?
I'm Canadian. I like that term 'stroppy'. Seems like a multipurpose, useful one.
Stunning Tom
Heyy Tom really helful video
Can you do more prononciation videos ?
Hello Tom!
I'm watching your videos and they're really useful and especially easy to understand!
In this video I'm wondering about the pronunciation of "adjective", It sounds you pronunce it as the Americans do. Am I wrong?
Thank you for the reply :)
I'm really chuffed that I found your videos.
What is it??
Learned alot...please post something about dipthong,triphtong etc...please reply must..a hungry request
please do a lesson on flip words like lovey dovey, okay dokey? hokey cokey?
Great idea Toby, I'll add it to the list : )
loving you x
What do u use for your skin btw? It's frigging fresh. Having said that, your videos are very conducive!
Thanks my man 👨
'Pissed' reminds me of my 21st birthday in a pub called 'Hare and Squirrel'. I wasn't angry, and I hadn't urinated my pants, so it had to be explained to me. I was many pints in, so...LOL
Greetings from Kenya
I like your sense of humour ;)
Thank you for these nice new words ! I like the sound of wobbly and yummy :)
