- ABOUT THE LESSON 📚
Let's face it...SLANG is just fun to learn. You may not use slang in the classroom, but you'll definitely use it in the streets. Because slang is a part of everyday English and you may hear it all the time.
In this lesson, we'll look at some common slang that Americans use. You may have already heard these words before watching TV or movies, or perhaps listening to music. Even if you don't use slang yourself, it's important for your overall comprehension because other people certainly speak this informal English.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!
We love hearing from you guys. If you know of any other SLANG words, write them in the comments and tell us what they mean. 😃 👍
Interactive English I hear a lot of Americans people use the word (thu) in the end of most sentence like I wanna that thu .. so what does it mean
Anita Albert it is tho it is just short for the word though
Interactive English Never heard the word jonesing used in this part of the country(northwest Minnesota)
Interactive English Just great! ;)
Interactive English more slangs, phrases and idioms pleaseeee.... 😄😄😄😄
Notes here! Enjoy the fun video:)
A. Crash= to suddenly fall asleep
I was so tired after work I just crashed.
B. Shotgun=front passenger seat of the car
“I am calling shotgun!” “To ride shotgun”
C. Creep=person who is unpleasant, strange, and weird
D. Buck=a dollar (I have three bucks)
E. For real=saying you’re being honest (add this at the end to make sure. “For real?”)
F. Knock=a bad or disparaging remark
Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. (used to tell a person that he or she should try something before criticizing it)
G. Sweet=expression of happiness due to a favorable situation
Sweeeeet! (with full emotion and energy)
H. Zonked=tired; exhausted (I’m just so zonked right now.)
I. Jonesing=strong craving or desire
I am jonesing for a cup of coffee (usually food or drinks)
J. Bail=to leave somewhere or abandon plans (usually leaving someone behind)
You bail on me.
Sally and I were going to have dinner last night, but she bailed on me at the last minute. That’s why I’m so angry with her.
K. Amped=very excited about something
I am amped!
This is the videogame that has everyone so amped.
Excellent. Thanks so much for commenting & sharing with everyone. Hope you learned some new slang. 👍
Very sweet. I am amped
Wrong.. to crash is to get tired and run out of energy suddenly.
DK thx very much!
D K Thank you for the notes! You are awesome!
Some of these slangs I don't use as a native. I think some are regional dialects. Here are some I use more often:
- I never "crash" when referring to sleep, I use "drift off" when talking about someone falling asleep or daydreaming
- I've never used "knock" to describe a bad remark. One word I do use is "rap", as in a "bad rap". It sometimes can refer to a bad reputation as well.
- I rarely use "jonesing", instead I use "craving" or "dying", such as "I'm dying for ice cream" (It doesn't have anything to do with death)
- I never used "zonked", EVER. I use "pooped" to refer to tired.
Seriously is this true ? Because i want to learn like native americans
I don't know how to express that slang . be as it may this video is helpful for non native speaker like me
@@standoffgamer1655Yes, it's true. I hardly use these as well, especially crash. That one's a bit weird.
If I wanted some ice cream really bad, I might say, "man, I could really go for some ice cream!"
I’m in New England and crash (going to sleep soon, falling asleep suddenly) is a fairly common term. Might be a regional difference.
What’s amped? Please .
Ohh. I got it really excited!
@@standoffgamer1655 There is no such thing as "Native" Americans unless you're talking about indigenious people. Slang really isn't that useful and I think it is like acid but for language.
From Japan! I'm learning English with your videos!
Japanese word OCHIRU(To Fall) often means to suddenly fall asleep.
fall=crash??? It's interesting!
Been in America since 1997, some of these I've never heard of. Its always awesome to learn new things. I absolutely love your channel
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy our channel. And yes, there's so much different slang depending on which part of the US you are in. Where did you move there from? 😊
The fact that we are native speakers of a language doesn't mean that we have knowledge of every single thing about the language. He explains great and he has a clear beautiful pronunciation
Very true. Thanks so much for your comment. Hope you have a great day! 😃👍
You're not native if the language doesn't belong to you.
Очень хорошие у вас уроки. Спасибо
Crash means to sleep, but not necessarily suddenly. It is usually used in the context of sleeping somewhere you normally don't sleep, as in ''Can I crash at your place?''
3:00
*"Creep" is used as a noun. "Creepy" is the adjective form, and a syllable was cut to make the noun.
But you forgot the most used ones.....
Bro, brospeh, dude - All refer to a guy. Bro usually is a friend and dude is any guy
Bra - Referrers to a girl
Wasted - Multiple things but usually drunk, Can also be tired
Tipsy - A little drunk but not totally drunk
Chill - Hang out with someone
NetFlix and chill - Watch a movie with someone *wink* *wink*. It means to have sex. You don't actually watch a movie most of the time
Bae - Your lover or someone you love, like sexually, not sibling love
Queen - An idol. Someone you admire or look up to. Usually in the gay community
Yaasss - Yes for gays. An excited yes. Like you are saying OMG! Yes!
Shade (throwing shade) - Shade is insults. Throwing shade is when you insult someone but not directly. So instead of saying "Your hair sucks!" you'd try to low key insult them by saying something like "your hair looks like my moms from 10 years ago". To you, your mom's hair sucked 10 years ago but the person you threw shade at may not know that. You "threw shade" because you insulted them, but it wasn't obvious to anyone who doesn't know how you feel about your moms hair.
Tea (spilling the tea)- Gossip! Ooo girl spill the tea! It means to gossip. The tea is the gossip and spilling it is to tell someone. If someone says only "tea", especially if they pretend to drink something after saying "tea", they are not referring to gossip. "tea" refers to a situation they don't like but instead of calling the person involved out they say tea and pretend nothing is happening. It's the same as if they said: "but that's none of my business". For example, if I saw a pregnant woman drinking at a bar I may give her side-eye and say tea while sipping my water. By saying tea I'm saying that I disagree with her actions but I'm going to pretend as if she's not performing those actions.
Hey dude, Bro is my patronym.
@@eljefehuevon54 He said «referrers», doesn't mean that's a girl, it's a brassiere..., the teasing lingerie! 🤗
Jeremy Styers, agree with your examples, but ''queen'' in the gay male community means an effeminate gay man. I would say the word ''diva'' Is the word you are describing.
Naa,,, "dude" describes a guy dude
I sometimes use diva to mean a well known female singer, like pop diva. When I use queen, sometimes it just means the best, like Gaga is the queen.
The slang "Shotgun" comes from the stagecoach time where a person with a shotgun rode next to the stagecoach driver to protect the stagecoach. It was started when Westerns were popular on TV.
Very cool! I didn't know the etymology behind this term. Thanks for sharing. 😃
I would love it if you could also tell how we started using words or phrases. I really enjoy researching really old phrases we use all the time and find out how it got started. example: Raining cats and dogs.
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. 👍 In the future, we'll do more slang/idiom/expressions video lessons. We'll look into providing the etymology behind these phrases. 😊
Upbeat4ever Iluvmycountry cool! Thanks for the added info.
Like dropping the ball? Our bullets were balls at one point, so dropping the ball probably meant that you were trying to load your gun, but instead of dropping it in the gun you dropped it on the ground somewhere.
You add many TV or film clips after every items, which makes us learners have more context to use those useful and interesting items. This is really cool!
I love watching your endeavors to teach us out of US. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your comment. I agree, I think providing learners with context is crucial to understanding how a word is used. I'm so glad you found the video useful! I hope you have a great day!
To provide the context means a lot to us. For one thing, it means they are from authentic English, which makes the learning of this language more meaningful. And for another, it means adding the learning environment(e.g. even include it with Cartoons) more variety, which makes the video never be bored. Learning sth is not just for the most diligent ones, but for us the vast majority, who easily get bored when learning anything in more than a few minutes.
I grew up in Newton, Massachusetts and in the section known as Nonantum the population is mostly Italian. They have their own slang/language which is particular to only that area! Matt LeBlanc from Newton was on the Conan show & demonstrated it. Some say the language hails from Romany but is only vaguely similar. It’s pretty cool. newton ma slang demonstrated on conan
"Shutgun" is not limited to the younger generations. I heard people using it in the 1950s. (I'm 75.) Also, "creep" in the sense you explain dates from the late 19th century. Some slang is just so great that it becomes a regular word, and in fact, "creep" is listed in Merriam-Webster's as a regular old noun (not an adjective, like "creepy") -- not really slang at all.
im a native english speaker why am i here
Sujay R Same!
To learn slang
I'm also native lol
Sujay R same
I , m spanish native speaker and I often see videos about spanish .
Dude this was an awesome video! I've completed my English classes but still I used to feel like I didn't get much of what people where saying. Watching you made me learn way more about slangs than ever in my life. Thank you man, for real. Hope you keep up with the good work!
For the sake of those who are learning English, here are a few observations:
SHOTGUN: In my opinion, the more common phrase is "to ride shotgun," which means along side the driver. I've never heard of "calling shotgun." But I'm no high-schooler, either. Save this for kids. Older adults won't even understand it.
CREEP: it's a NOUN. "He is a creep." "That creep just hit on me." ("To hit on" means to make a sexual advance.) The adjective form is "creepy." "That guy is really creepy!" Related to that is to give or get "the creeps: "That guy gives me the creeps!"
Don't forget that slang usually isn't permanent - slang words appear, then after a few years, fall out of use. "Buck" for "dollar" is an exception - it has been around for a very long time. It's always good to understand slang words, but don't obsess about using them. Slang is generally informal, and may be considered rude in some social situations.
I like all your precisions about the use of previous slang words.
Also, if you visit the south (mostly midwest), people will talk about having a coke, or ask you if you want a coke, not always the namebrand coke. Many times this simply means a soda. If you go to northern US, many will say "pop" meaning soda.
Hi, dear! I am an ESL Brazilian teacher who lives in Israel. It is my first time on your channel and this has been the very first video of yours I've seen. Congratulations for the rich content, high quality audio, easily understandable pronunciation and friendly attitude! I've subscribed and will certainly recommend your videos to my students! Keep up the good work!
Hi Paula. Thanks for your comment. Always great to hear from other teachers. Have a nice day. 😊

I have no idea why I'm watching this as I'm an American and already know what these words mean. Also, this video reminds me of when someone tells a joke and has to explain it because no one gets it, and so it ruins the joke. However, props for using the Parent Trap as an example of 'zonked'....
Love your work especially those scenes or short clips in which the slangs was used. Please do that in every video lesson that helps me a lot to remind things/slangs.
Thanks so much for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson & found it useful. Have a great day! 😃
I love the ending part. I wanted to know the answer but I already planed to watch another video instead. So I click on the right side 😄😁 I love these slangs and I love how you take your time to explain it. Thank you Sir!
Thanks so much Gary! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. And yes, "amped" means to be really excited about something. For example: We're amped to have you learn English with us. 😃 👍
I loved the video clips! Definitely the best part: finding the write segment for an example of the slang word you presented...!
Thanks so much for your comment Viviana. I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. Hope you have a wonderful day! 😊
Years ago I stopped speaking native English since 2006, this served me a lot thank you friend
Hello! I'm an English student from Dominican Republic, and with your videos I'm learning what teachers don't teach me at the university. Subscribed! Thank you, man!
Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoy our lessons. Hope all is well in the DR. I used to live and teach in San Pedro de Macoris. 😉
@@InteractiveEng Wow, man! How can that be possible! I didn't imagine you, here in my country. If you come back, please contact me, it'd be a pleasure to meet you. I live near Montecristi's beach.
I've never been to that side of the country. The closest I've been to there was Puerto Plata. I hope to visit the DR again in the future. It's such an amazing country. 😊
Thank you! I want to know yours, but first I'm finishing my university career.
Sweet! I just loved it! You not only teach us but show us it's being used by movies and series scenes. Amazing!
Thanks Jorge! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. Hope you learned some new slang words. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 😃
This is cool. I'm American, and somehow stumbled on your video. These are not slang terms I would have thought of when people ask for American slang, but once I watched the video, I realized, yes, most of these are used ALL THE TIME (except zonked...never use that one). There's also great regional slang like "Hella" on the west coast and "wicked" in New England.
We appreciate your comment. I like the idea regional slang. Perhaps we'll do a future lesson on it. We used to live in California, and I'd hear "hella" all the time. Thanks for sharing with everyone. 👍
"Wicked"...is British.. Thrs probably why its still n use n New England... 😁👍❤
having those little vides after each slang is just so awesome!! thanks and congratulations
Hi Mariana. I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson and hope you learned some new slang. Thanks so much for commenting. 👍
Awesome. I like your such kind of videos. I use for my lessons. You are my best teacher. Good luck
I love how you edit some parts of the movie to illustrate examples of slangs you are teaching here. Awesome work! Thank you.
Thanks so much! We hope these clips give learners a glimpse as to how these words are used in context. We appreciate your comment. Have a great day! 😃
*added* not edit...
I like your use of the helpful example clips.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson and hope you learned some new slang. Have a great day! 😃
Well done! You excell at explaining out the topics. Grats!
Thanks so much Antonio. I appreciate your comment. Hope you have a nice weekend. 👍
Thank you Wes por your time to teach as all these words ! I really appreciate!
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 😊
Usually we don't say "zonked"
we're just like
"I'm drained"
"I'm pooped"
and instead of jonesing or whatever we say "dying (for)"
Or.. " dead"...lol..
Why not just say "I'm craving."? For that matter, Why not just say "I'm taking the front seat", "Really" or "I'm serious"? Why not just say "I'm so excited! "?
Emily BH because people wanna sound different and spice things up in their speech.
In Moroccan Arabic "you're pooped" means you are weak or unable to do something you have to do. And "I shitted" means "I'm beat"
I'm from Kazakhstan. And I don't know any slangs..) ur lessons help me more...thank U
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. Hope you learned some new words. 👍
Don't say "slangs" -- just say "slang". As in, "I don't know any American slang."
Excellent lesson...thank you...
thank you ! it is really helpful and easy to memorize when putting them in movies.
Thanks for your comment Helene! I'm glad the movie inserts helped make the lesson easy to follow. Hope you have a great day! 😃

Thanks so much for commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. Have a great day! 😃👍
NO! Not in the states.
NO! Most Americans would be baffled by 2 or 3 of these examples.
california native here, bay area, remember saying "book" which meat to leave? i didn't say at least half of these. the other half when i was much much younger. i still catch myself saying "dude" every so often at age 67, but not very often. "catch ya later" or smell ya later was a popular one.
Way of teaching is really awesome
Hey bro, you are really good. It helps me a lot.
Thanks so much Omg! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson and hope you picked up some new slang words. 😉 Have a great day! 🎉
Fool around the 🏡 to see if you don't have to learn
On what planet?
The context of “zonked” in the Parent Trap clip is referring to their mom being drunk, not exhausted, and that’s the only time I’ve ever heard that phrase as an american
Zonked out has two meanings one is exhausted and being drunk
@@manojkumarramagiri8612 Zonked has only one meaning: 1) exhausted, tired. 2) drank till exhausted (this is the same meaning)
Ya.. like.. "WASTED"...lol..
Thank u Wes . Geat job . It's very helpful 👌
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. Have a great day. 😊
I like the way you teach by adding examples from the movies.
Thanks for this nice video
Hi Maya. Thanks so much for your comment. Hope you have a great day! 😊
awesome idea ofusing cine scenes to explain the slangs
Thanks for commenting Nivedha! We're glad you enjoyed the lesson and hope you picked up some new slang. 😉 Have a great day! 🎉
I'm totally agree!
For real!
I have never used jonesing or zonked and I’m American but okay...
Same, I've never used those words and I can never remember even hearing them used. For anyone trying to learn American slang, just skip those.
Same
That’s because no one has used these since the 90’s.
lol I have .Jonesing more, but I was a teen in the 9os.
HI, I'm not english native speaker, What words do you normally use or do you think is more useful instead jonesing or zonked?
These examples from the films are awesome, great idea
Glad you like them! 😃
I love these series, that's really a big help on me
Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the lesson & found it useful. 👍
I can understand very clearly what are you saying. OMG I'm improving! YAY \o/ thanks for the video, it was SWEET!
Thanks for commenting Beatriz! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. 👍 Have a great day! 😃

Thank you so much. Love the way you keep showing those words with movie clips. More like this videos please !
Thanks so much for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the lesson & found it useful. 😃👍
Loved all the slang words of the list. Gonna try to integrate them all into my spoken English as from today. By the way, great video, as always.
Fantastic! Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍
Hey guys. This is bianca if you wanna practice your Spanish I’m here. And so I can improve my English as well ✋
I love that you included examples from pop culture. I definitely want my students to watch this thank you!
Thanks so much for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. Hope your students enjoy it as well. 😃👍
I’ve lived in the U.S. for my entire 32 years of life and I have never heard anyone say “jonesing” outside of television. Most people say “I’m dying for a...(fill in the blank noun) “I’m dying for a coffee right now”.
Every city has their language ( slang).
I'm a 30 year old who has lived in America my whole life as well. I've only heard it used a few times in the real world, usually by older people. I don't think any young people say "jonesing".
You're right - "dying for" is *much* more common.
I love your explanations! Could you give us more exemples in order to practise?Thanks!!
Hi Eva. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Hope you learned some new slang. 👍
I was waiting for such video ,thank you so much sir

Even if I am kind of zonked because it is late night, but I am still interested in and amped to watching another videos because I have been jonesing for learning American accent or American slang or whatsoever for years now. And I can't bail on it these days! Later, I will crash after watching some.
Your video is great, for real! Yeah, peps, it is awesome! Don't knock it till you try it, peps!
Thanks for commenting! And excellent use of these slang terms. Keep it up! 👍 Have a great day. 😃
Genius "
I'd help you gladly. Reply. Maybe we could work something out?
I heard a lot "goofy around" and "all set" when I lived in MA. I've never seen someone teaching these expressions...
Thanks for your comment. You're right. Slang is very informal so it's mostly overlooked in classroom settings. Mostly, I think it's useful for learners to comprehend slang if they're listening to someone speak or watching TV/movie. But I think it's always fun to learn. 😃👍
Thank you!
"GoofING around".. nd.. "All set"..means.." It is finished" or as a question.. "All set??" Means.. "Are u ready??" (:
Thank you so much for consistently educating us by making videos.
Hi Thota. Glad you enjoy our lessons. Keep watching, keep commenting, and keep up the good work. 😊
WoW 👍🏻 It’s been interesting english class , thanks a lot, appreciate it your help
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your comment.
I've never heard someone say "Zonked." I thought that was just something in very early batman television shows.
Please don't say you're zonked to your American friends or something...
I'm like totally zonked
The military likes to use 'zonk' when it is an early release day ot they are saying you do not have to do exercise at 0'dark'30. It means 'scram or we will make you do something you don't want to do' for us
I remember it being used in the 80s-90s, at least in NE Tx we did. We'd say "I'm zonked" when we were 'dead tired'. It was used when we were exhausted, such as after a test or a day out.
Maybe it comes from Batman. When you're zonked you're so tired you coukd pass out. When someone gets zonked on Batman they will likely be knocked out.😂😂
I use it every once in a while, but it’s lame. I usually say “I’m about to crash” or “I’m friggin’ tired”.
I really must be bored....I’m American watching a man teach American slang...😂
Lol...Thanks for commenting. Hope the weekend brings some excitement. Have a good one! 👍
Same
Yip! But I never heard of jonesing 😆 I just say craving. Learn something everyday I guess! Hah
Need too 😂 I
No, I have a different perspective. My native language is English too. I am watching it because he knows the subject in and out. His response is quick and he is a fountain of English knowledge.
Your video are very interesting and useful for me! Thank you so much
Glad to hear that!
very useful! thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed the lesson Charlie. Hope you learned some new slang. 👍
1crash
2 shotgun
3creep : strange
4buck : dollar
5for real: honestly
6knock : bad remark
7sweet : nice
8 zonked: tired
9jonesing : wanting
10 bail on: leave somewhere or someone
Amped : excitd
"Buck" also means.. RESPONSIBILITY..as.. "The Buck stops HERE!".. Lol..
@@ToniM10 lol and "pass the buck" is "refuse to admit responsibility "🤣
Sweet, for real your teaching is amazing .Many thanks to you from my deep heart, really I appreciate your efforts, may Allah always protect you and your beautiful family sir. Take care. From the Iraq North.
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Hope you learned some new slang. 😉
@@InteractiveEng yeah,I learned a lot. Thank you bro.
Slang always changes with age.. From Generation 2.. Generation.. (;
It is so amazing that you have a clip to give an example
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. Hope you learned some new words. 😊
I certainly got a lot of information that I've ever knew before,thanks for helping me
Glad you enjoyed the lesson & found it useful. 😊
Great list... except for "zonked" 😂 More common alternative slang words/expressions would be: "beat", "running on E", and "worn out". Use these to express how tired you are. Please don't say zonked. Lol
LosAnggraito you are fluent to know about the wore off thing.. you r right none of zonked
I say zonked sometimes
It is really great please keep it up
Thanks for your comment. Hope you learned some new slang words. 😉 Have a great day! 🎉
Moqafta Almoqafta *
Texas and Louisiana resident. Never heard zonked before, but I've heard every other one. Good list. :D
Sir your voice is so clear so nice so crisp..... your expression your way talking your body language..... everything I must say it's Sweet".
Thanks so much for your comment. 😊
Amped = Excited or hyped up.
Nice. Way to go! 👍
Amped......excited
Bail on......avoid
Jonesing....addicted to
Zonked....very tired
Creep....annoying person
Nice Mohamed. You got these down cold. 😉
Mohamed Wahed
I’m amped!
I will of course bail on the cars.
I am jonesing Michelle snore.
I’m really zonked!!!
Are you a creep?
Jonesing where I’m at means you are trying to mooch free stuff from others
Zonked aka Knackered
‘Creep’ doesn’t exactly mean ‘an annoying person’. It’s more like someone who makes you feel uncomfortable in a kind of scary way.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. ❤☺👌👌

Thanks Wes!!!!
Thanks so much! Hope you learned some new slang. 😊
I learn something new today, thanks to you. I love the way you explain it, with subtitles, looks nice and that few clips from movie talking about the specific word that you discuss here, which is really cool. Subbed.
Btw are you californian?
Zonked is not common in all parts of the country.

It actually is pretty rare.
I grew up in NE Tx, and I used zonked. But you're right in some words are used in some regions more than others. Soda/cola/coke/soft drink is a good example. Some areas use soda, others used coke as a generic for any soft drink.
We don't really say it around here in Southeast TN.
Coke or Pop is used in Chicago. Never soda as soda is ice cream and a cabonated drink.
Creep is slang? That’s so bizarre! I never knew that! Wicked! I thought it was universal
Like.. "creepy crawling" things tht crawl n the dark! Ewwww!!!.. LOL..
it's so helpful sir. thanks

Thanks so much Mollie! 😊 I really appreciate your comment. 👍
Here's a good one to throw in. The word "wicked". That's so "wicked" man. It's used to describe something that is weird, or strange.
