Seagull - verb Definition: To steal chips off of someone without their consent. Example: His girlfriend said she wasn't hungry so didn't order any chips of her own, instead she planned to seagull a few of his. (I know I used seagull as a verb at the end of the video but I prefer this idea) Let's hear your idea for animal verbs we don't have yet!
In Finnish slang seagull (lokki) means someone who always bums cigarettes, food or drinks etc. from others and never gives back and to seagull (lokkia) means to ask for something for free
In Sweden we make verbs by adding an a to the end out of substantive or adjective . So älga ( älg = European Elk) means to walk with large step or run with a long a stride like an elk ...
In swedish there are some animal verbs as well. Mesa comes from "mes" meanting "tit" (as in blue tits, not breasts) and means the same as being a chicken in english as tits are seen as cowardly, flying away instantly when you get too close. Orma comes from orm (snake) meaning that you sliver around like a snake. Åla comes from ål (eel) as similiar to orma, it describes the movement of an eel. Snoka comes from snok (grass snake) which means that you snoop around, similiar to that a snake is sneaking around in places you're not allowed or suppoused to be to find out about secrets others tries to keep for themselves. Krypa comes from kryp (meaning bug) as crawling reminds you of the movements of bugs (like beetles, ants and so forth). "Apa sig" is the same as monkey(ing) around (apa means both monkey and ape but also have more specific terms like ape are called "människoapa" literally human monkey/ape or even "svanslös apa" AKA tailless monkey/ape) and also is called "spela apa" (playing being a monkey or acting like one). Grisa comes from gris (pig), meaning that you make a mess like a pig, either mess yourself or your surrounding down, as they get themselves dirty when wallowing in the mud or the when they eat food, they mess around everywhere. Uggla (sig) comes comes from uggla (owl), meaning that like an owl you stare at a wall, basically doing nothing. Maska comes from mask (meaning worm but also a face mask like in english), means being lazy or slacking instead of doing your work, as worms don't seem to do but lie around.
In James Burke's original "Connections" series (which, if you enjoy this type of video, you would likely enjoy), he refers to inventors "beavering away" at one thing only to discover another.
I think you’ll find that in fact in this case it’s being used as an intransitive verb. The same way the word look is used in the statement I’ll take a look.
@@pjschmid2251 The word "look" in that example is also a noun, hence it being preceded by an article. An example of the intransivitve verb "look" would be "look at this" whereas a transitive verb, "take" for example, would be "take a bath".
@@pjschmid2251 Also, you can't conjugate "look" in "take a look", you would conjugate the verb "take". You can, however, make "look" plural, "take a few looks", or modify it with an adjective, "take a good look".
“to Catfish” in its modern verb sense has also lead to the phrase “to Kittyfish”-a lesser form of catfishing whereby one uses their own photos, but they may be photoshopped, taken long ago, or just be particularly appealing in a way that doesn’t reflect reality and what the person normally looks like. God I love language and how creatively it can evolve
Most, if not all, are called that because that thing is used in the verb. Sand, uses sandpaper, or a sanding block, or something else that has a bunch of sand glued to it. Stone, is to throw stones at someone or something. Chalk, to use chalk.
That's the gamer definition. Patrick is talking about the British meaning of the verb. That said, the other traditional meaning of turtling is similar to what you said, in that it's the act of taking a defensive pose while hiding oneself.
I've heard "sealioning" be a term, but I'm not sure what exactly it means. There's also "horsing around" or "horseplay" which is similar to monkeying around if I remember that right.
Hi Patrick! Thanks for so many fun videos. How about horsing around, (casual, physical play), catting about (for adult audiences only?), to snake (thread something through a narrow space), to hog (keep the 'lion's share' for oneself or one's group), to worm (insert one's self into a conversation in an indirect way) and to bug (bother)?
The drawing of a flounder is delightful! - and- the noun "fish" is also used as a verb, eg for fishing around for stuff. I was thinking that Australian animals were underrepresented, so: kangarooing or just rooing would work for jumping around, wombating would work for digging or burrowing, emuing for hiding unsuccessfully (they don't do it, btw), platypussing for doing or being a bit of everything, and if you can work out a pronouncable verb form, koalas definitely for sleeping. Not sure if these are respectful to the animals though, and no Aussie would use these verbs without shortening them somehow. But rather than using animal characteristics, we seem to have formed more colourful descriptions for activities.
I live in the small town of Gander, NL., so was intrigued by the thumbnail. We are thrice world famous, have a gander at Gander, I double dog dare you. 😆
@@luciferangelica lol thx but I just thought the thumbnail and my town was a natural tie in. They even made a Broadway play about us. The double dog dare was another animal hiding in our words I threw in as an afterthought
I always thought that catfish was called that because when you’re fishing you sometimes get excited when you’re reeling something in only to become disappointed when you realize it’s a catfish
In my language (hebrew) we have the verbs "coneying" instead of "chickening out", "agaming" (from the agama lizard) for "getting a suntan", "snaking" is "guessing" (and a similar sounding word is "whispering"), and "puppydogging" means "acting servile"... this is besides pigging and peacocking, which we also have... Oh, and "canining" means "stapling" due to staples resembling (vaguely) canine teeth... Some also say cats are called that way due to their *ahem* restroom habits, as diapers are called in hebrew "cattings"...
I associate cats with doing things that they are fully aware that they shouldn't and act dumb when caught in the act... Seriously, they act differently when they feel observed.
Sloth is an example of the opposite .... although not a verb, an animal named after a human behaviour! Some Australia animals deserve to be a verb.... Kookaburra (to laugh raucously and/or inappropriately) Magpie (to suddenly swoop in on someone) Koala (to use their cute looks to get close to someone and then piss all over them) Antechinus (to have non-stop sex to exhaustion or death)
Even though you were hogging most of the good animal verbs, here are a few that were missed: Fly, hog, horse around, fish (to try to catch fish), bird (to watch birds), dog, bird-dog.
forgot about bug as in the technological sense. a moth was found in an early computer and messed up the system so from then on, program errors are bugs
My association with turtle as a verb is the act of turtling someone's backpack - that is removing everything from it, flipping it inside out, putting everything back in it, then closing it up, often with the assistance of duct tape or, in especially boneheaded cases, a padlock.
In German, we have a very interesting such change of an animal name into a verb The word Affe (monkey) was changed into nachäffen which means to imitate someone in a less than flattering manner
@@RonnieOP It does indeed seem so: to a linguist, German, English, Dutch, and all the Scandinavian languages, including Icelandic and Faroese, all belong to the Germanic language family, so from that viewpoint it isn't really surprising that there are so many similarities. I am Danish myself, and while it may seem like bragging, i know that I am almost 95% fluent in English (I've taken an online test that said so), and I would estimate that I am maybe 60 to 75% fluent in German. These two languages, combined with my own native Danish, enables me to even understand a little Dutch without ever having studied it. I would say that I can understand maybe 15% of written Dutch, but when it comes to spoken Dutch, the figure drops drastically to maybe 5% tops lol.
One of my favourite animals happens to be unused in any language I know of: the tapir. I propose we use it for *displaying indifference or lack of awareness of grave circumstances which might even be dangerous to the person in question*. E.g.: During the fire, he just tapired around.
I'm reminded of a pretty funny comment someone made when a woman posted a photo of an animal she saved that she thought was a baby shark...but was actually a catfish. So you might say she was...'catfished'.
Patrick, you missed cat. Cat calling or catting around. Pony up is a gambling term. Bird in the UK and chick in the US are terms for young women. And then there's goats. Some men are called old goats and young goats are called kids. My only child, who will not have children, at one time owned 4 goats. I called them my grandkids! I think we should use giraffe for someone who looks down on people or things.
And more recently GOAT has become the acronym for “Greatest Of All Time” to describe a long time record holder, such as Ken Jennings in the game show Jeopardy!, who won more than 70 consecutive games.
Then you have interesting phrases like 'sticking your head under the sand' which implies imagery of an ostrich sticking their head under the sand to avoid danger. Based on a falsehood but still a remnant in our speech due to popular childhood cartoons (I think anyway.)
that's not what we mean when we say bug out over here. like mostly we'd mean someone acting kinda crazy or maybe on drugs or looking for drugs, or also it could mean to just leave, like some preppers keep bug out bags, so they don't have to spend their last minutes on earth packing before they head to the cabin
Oh my word, I just saw your Giraffe old stupid names video in the recommended below this. Kameelperd is still used in languages like Afrikaans in South Africa to refer to Giraffes.
I am not surprised you didn't mention the alternative meaning for turtling, also known as prairie dogging it. lol Also you could have mentioned 'fishy' when we think of things as sus. Also had an idea for a video, although I will never get cred if you do it cos I'm not a patron, but explain the names of the elements.
‘Prairie dogging’ is used in an office with cubicles, where you pop your head up to chat with a neighbour “over the wall”. If you’re wearing sunglasses, it’s ‘meerkatting’.
Another bird name used as a verb, describing something another kind of bird does that people often do also: crow. Which leads to cock, as in cock a weapon to prepare to shoot (not to mention other uses of the word).
Well there is a more appropriate use of the word/animal name seal, what about a sealant which seals surfaces with a filth and water resistant seal (concrete floor, road, parking lot, roof, and deck)? See also: tooth sealant
To get anted. It's when you press on your screen to press a button but it changes just before you are able to and you press a different button. Like if you would try hit an ant it would move. Maybe a different animal I'm not sure.
Not to be a Todie, but I had a Whale of a time watching this video Hawking a Vulture fund to a load of Sheep and Crowing about a Turkey. Squirreling the money away. Society’s Leeches. They’re all a bunch of Sharks and Maggots sprouting Hog wash. Claming up as not to mention the Elephant in the room. Sluging it out and Moleing away Haring down the street because it’s Raining Cats and Dogs. Thanks. Great video.
Another animal name that can be a verb is "buffalo". Though I've only heard it used in the ridiculous contrived sentence "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo", combining the animal name with the city name and a verb I take to mean something like bully.
To goose someone - grab them on their buttocks. To prairie dog - need to poop so bad it feels like you are already started. To hawk your wares - to offer for sale by calling out in the street. to hawk up phlegm or a loogie - an audible effort to force up phlegm from the throat
Nah. I see foxes as vixens. A very female description that describes both a very a attractive women and also very cunning. As most attractive women are through beauty privilege. Vixen itself is a lovely word and a highly effective description.
Oh come on Patrick, you know that people would be interested in this, so stop Fishing for compliments, and instead of Horsing around, how about making a part 2? You know we'll have a Whale of a time although you'll have to do all of the Donkey work.
Seagull - verb
Definition: To steal chips off of someone without their consent.
Example: His girlfriend said she wasn't hungry so didn't order any chips of her own, instead she planned to seagull a few of his.
(I know I used seagull as a verb at the end of the video but I prefer this idea)
Let's hear your idea for animal verbs we don't have yet!
that always happens to me
I have in fact heard seagull used this way. Also similarly, vulture.
In Finnish slang seagull (lokki) means someone who always bums cigarettes, food or drinks etc. from others and never gives back and to seagull (lokkia) means to ask for something for free
i use "to magpie" when i want to say "to steal" in a cute way.. although i also use it jokingly for "to buy, to shop"
Snailing, to snail, - to move very slow, regular purposeful, serious motion
We bigfoots are so good at hiding that most of you humans still think we aren't real
i see you there bigfooting, in that misty, out of focus area
There's a third rodent that has lent its name to a verb: the squirrel, as in "to squirrel something away", meaning to hoard stuff.
is prairie dog a rodent? bc that's definitely a verb now
Lion would be a good one, they sleep so long you could say they're always lion around.
Any relation with The Tokens' song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"?
It's a classical pun, anyway.
You already have the verb “to lionize”
@@jakubpociecha8819 i actually only know the lorena bobbitt version
Lion does sound like lying.

Beaver away? That was totally new to me, I've never heard beaver used like this.
me neither
I've heard beaver used in "busy as a beaver" meaning someone who is working as hard as a beaver. Not a verb, but still interesting
In James Burke's original "Connections" series (which, if you enjoy this type of video, you would likely enjoy), he refers to inventors "beavering away" at one thing only to discover another.
4:21 I didn’t know that wolves eat watermelons
Their omnivores. So they will if available. Even though meat is preferred
I think you confuse cowardly with shy...
Badgers may well keep in the shadows but you wouldn't like to get in an argument with one!
I've even used "hyena" as a verb, its meaning should be obvious but I've described myself as "hyenaing" at something funny, maybe it'll catch on
"Gander" isn't a verb, it's a noun. In the phrase "have a gander" the verb is "have".
I think you’ll find that in fact in this case it’s being used as an intransitive verb. The same way the word look is used in the statement I’ll take a look.

NL: "(iets) uitvogelen" = "to bird (something) out" = "to figure something out"
Cool!

Not animals, but I noticed these the other day: sand, ground, stone, rock, chalk, slate, flint, grit, talc, marble. They're all verbs.
Most, if not all, are called that because that thing is used in the verb.
Sand, uses sandpaper, or a sanding block, or something else that has a bunch of sand glued to it. Stone, is to throw stones at someone or something. Chalk, to use chalk.
This video really is something to crow about. 😀
Turtleing means having high defence and slowly chipping away at your enemies until you win or lose.
That's the gamer definition. Patrick is talking about the British meaning of the verb. That said, the other traditional meaning of turtling is similar to what you said, in that it's the act of taking a defensive pose while hiding oneself.
I have heard of one girl who had the nick name of "Turtle". Put her on her back and she was f#$@ked.
'Squirrel away' is another rodent based verb.

How have you not mentioned that ducks are called ducks because they duck!
I was surprised that when you were on the topic of pigs that you forgot the verb hogging, as in to take more than a fair share of some thing.
Even though you were hogging most of the good animal verbs, here are a few that were missed: Fly, hog, horse around, fish (to try to catch fish), bird (to watch birds), dog, bird-dog.
Seagulling is a verb. It describes fishermen that don't know their own fishing grounds instead they follow successful boats around.
Is anyone else surprised Patrick didn't mention the verb "to fish", which can also refer to actions taken by land-lubbers?
And its more recent cyber-spelling of phishing: trying to deceive people into revealing personal information online.
Also something fishy (even though this is an adjective more than a verb)
forgot about bug as in the technological sense.

"That bug is really bugging people" -in regards to one found in programs, until the dev turns it into a "feature".

Antalope - big ol slurp, like through a straw

In German, we have a very interesting such change of an animal name into a verb
The word Affe (monkey) was changed into nachäffen which means to imitate someone in a less than flattering manner
And from Schlange (snake) we have schlängeln, which is quite similar to weasel.
Singer is also a verb with that meaning in French (Singe= monkey)

Worm your way out.. really means only to get out of something through a small gap people didn't expect cos you are wiggly not unpleasant.
There are also names that are used as adjectives, probably a subject for another video
Hard work isn't the association I get from the word "beaver", but maybe I'm just a pervert.
Chickens are easily frightened, so to "chicken out" or "be too chicken" is to be cowardly.

buffalo isn't to bully someone out right it's to confuse them. like playing 3 card monte or a synonym for bamboozle.
