You do need to learn about all sorts of vocab for your every day situation, innit?
I'm a native American English speaker, but also somewhat of an anglophile. I'm so pleased that I've found your channel! I love learning new British words and phrases and trying out new British accents. I really hope that I can visit your lovely country someday after the borders open back up. Cheers mate!
That's so nice to hear even Natives enjoy watching vids on both the English language and the culture of a different anglophone country :)
@@aikantikasur philia means love or loving in Greek or Latin or something. So an Anglophile is a person who loves or is interested in England.
Right, the borders are open. Have you visited England, mate?
This why I tell people in the UK that my name is Louie and not Lou ;)
Must land here with a like! Always amazing content and great tips! Thank you mate.
I like the phrase " comfort break" :))))
I think this is the first time a video is 0 dislike. I always see atleast 1 dislike but this video seems to be a hit. People love the topic. I must say Tom- it is beautifully crafted.
That's too much information 😂😂😂
Nice video, Tom! Kudos to you, Easy Dreamer!
In Ireland they say: to go to the Jacks. That's a very Irish way to call it.
In Australia a Dunny is a toilet, yeah, but it's the toilet like those cubicles they have in construction or building sites or at large music festivals, concerts, you know what I mean, Glastonbury Festival, Parklife...
Another interesting and funny way to call it in Australia is the Thunder Box, it's a small portable toilet like those in concerts or big events with large crowds.
To go to the restroom, lavatory, the powder room are very polite ways to call it.
I had never heard about the comfort break.
There's also a break room, the washroom, the lavvy, the 'office', tinkle time, to take a leak...
For children, yeah, to go number one, to go number two, to go potty...
There is another word for toilet that I saw in Canada: washroom...It's funny, it sounds as if it is a room where you keep your washing machine! LOL
Yeah, although the room where you keep the washing machine would be the utilites room. Right?
@@bittorrentsdownload In the south we say utility room.
Thank you, Tom!
You are funny. You can make everyone laugh. Rise and shine!
I really enjoy your lessons, Morrissey!
In catalan we use the phrase: I’m going to meet Mr Roca. Roca is a common lavatories manufacturer. 😅
The school toilets in Scotland were the shunkies , after Shanks of Barrhead , famous toilet manufacturers.
Hahahaha, I loved ALL the examples!! So hilarious hahaha. I love your videos, Tom.
hi, tom. this one reminds me of the polite vs impolite tom lesson and the sentence. oi! show me where the bog is. it always makes me laugh
My name is Lulu and to avoid confusion I use the words Lavatory (which was a word I learnt at my secondary school)
In Dutch, there are similar phrases for number one and number two: 'kleine boodschap' (small errand = number one) and 'grote boodschap' (big errand = number two).
😃Me started watching this mouth full of noodles 🍝

0:06 We love talking about toilets in “ENGLISH” 🚽
Me : well, that’s a good start 😥😬🥴🤢😞🤪😅🤣🥺
It is very useful thank you Tom
I don't know why while I watching this video I have a call of nature. Thank you so much for introducing us to lots of euphemism which is very useful when we hear it
It's very interesting and truly useful too but, forgive me Tom, I'm still laughing amused 😄 .......it's so hilarious, bravo! You're really brilliant 👏 😄 👏
Someone's smitting😍
@@toddperman8265 He was very nice and funny, wasn’t he? 😃
He "handled" a not-so-easy topic without losing elegance even on the potentially grosser aspects.
Hi 👋
Amazing. Thank you Tom
As an ESL Teacher, I thought this one was great fun! Thinking I need to make a list of the American terms used here. I actually learned a few new British phrases. Thanks for sharing!
Does anyone use the phrase "I'm gonna me John about a dog." I bloody love it
Thumbs up! You could be a great actor. You have the makings of an actor and great voice. Try auditioning. Keep it up! You rock!
Thanks for the lesson Tom! Greetings from Russia)
Lovely topic
Nice going. Thanks
This is one of the most useful English lesson ever！And a difficult one to tackle =D I appreciate it, thanks Tom!
I love your book!
Thanks so much Tom. I've learnt others words to refer to the toilet. Me too, I love the expression to spend a penny, even though it's old fashioned.
ahahaahh love when you pretend to speak with your daughter/son ahahha thanks for your videos
Honestly, I love your videos, this one was good!
Hilarious and useful at the same time. Tom, you’re the very best indeed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A-ha! That's why they call toilet paper "bog roll" in the UK! Also, I've always equated "lavatory" to the toilet on an aeroplane.
Haha same
మంచి వీడియో. ధన్యవాదములు🙏
😂😂 I don't think the "wizz air" (the airflight company) will be happy about that connection 🙈🙈😂😂
Loved the idea of teaching through acting, Tom! ❤
Barry Humphries , I think , coined " splash the boots " and " point Percy at the porcelain " Billy Connelly did a routine about the " jobbie wheecher " ie the toilet on a plane that wheechs everything away , when you are done.
Oh my crown! How cool this video is) First of all this video is super informative and useful actually. And also I like how you explain everything, it's like an acting for addition, I mean you're really very good in acting. Great work ✨
In Polish we have sentence for a toilet: The place, where the king goes alone”
The same in Hungarian, literally, however kings wouldn’t be sitting on their own throughout centuries...
In German we say "the place where the king walks to (goes on foot instead of being carried)" 😊
I would never have thought that in this topic you can find so many words 😂
Thanks for such an original lesson, Tom!! Great acting skills!! :)
HI Tom, I wonder which app/software do you use to record all your videos, the virtual backgrounds are always fantastic, great job! :)
In French, long time ago , we used to call this place : water closed or WC
in german speaking countries we still do this
Did you mean water closest ?
@@toddperman8265 right! Water closet with a T not a D
At last someone opened the great secret! Thank you very much!
This is one of the best videos you've posted Tom. excellent idea. What would life be without toilets? Cheers for that
First comment yayyy
I LOVED that American accent😂😂😂
U r so passion it when teach English Tom
Seriously! Do I use them often without knowing what do they mean?!
Great different accents, Tom.
"Have a think" made me laugh harder than all the rest. 😂🤣 I'm going to start using that here in the states.
In Newcastle they sometimes use netty
A few years ago, I was traveling through York with representatives of a religious order, in short, nuns and others. Every time we had to stop the sisters were good about telling us where we could go to "refresh ourselves." We Americans on the trip thought that was a brilliant phrase and have been using it ever since. Don't forget Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, who talks about not only doing a wee-wee, but also a wee jobby. That would be for number two.
The end got me, I'm still laughing so hard😂😂 Your improvisations are just gorgeous, Tom! "What a plonker"👍😄😂😂
2:47 « Euphemism » ☺️
Tom am from Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇷 plz do mre videos about cockeny accent
Great video. I learned a lot of new vocabulary. I thought only women said "I need to powder my nose." The topic of euphemism on body effluvia is fascinating. My college students have a great time listing all the expressions we have in (Chilean) Spanish to refer to Number 1 and Number 2 hahahahahaha
in Australia they call a toilet thunderbox sometimes, but only sometimes!
Something I really don't understand is why in UK you still have two different taps for cold and hot water. I know it has old origins, but it can be found in modern houses as well. Why?!?!?
No puede ser ....lo que me río viendo estos vídeos...la cara de Tom cuando dice "that's too much information"...😂😂😂😂...los profes deberían ser así, más distendidos a la hora de enseñar...Gracias!!
Powder my nose in America means snort cocaine.
Hi Tom! Nice video! I’m wondering where does Khazi and Jack or John comes from?
Hi there Tom, as for you new book, can it b found in bookstores at all?thx
In the US we say bathroom or restroom over 90% of the time. Facilities is used euphemistically, and John is a somewhat lower brow term for it. In camping settings people will say latrine. Some military people say head.
Also, on Texas highways (I don't know about other states), there are "Rest Areas" which have buildings with bathrooms, and outside there are picnic tables.
So funny!
The wazzer.
Hi Tom what is your accent? Received pronunciation? Are there other accents in it? Thank u 4 ur vidios
In Brazil we say "I'm gonna send a fax" (vou passar um fax) for a "number 2"... I have no idea of what's the relation of a facsimile with the act of going to the toilet, but it's funny!
My fav is to spend a penny sounds posh 😃
In the Philippines we say,” Comfort Room” CR in short.
😂 your USA accent needs more work but I love the impersonation 👍🏻 please do more!
the Americans name 'toilet' a 'restroom'. Which is quite hilarious...because to me a restroom is a place where you can meditate. And can you meditate comfortably in a toilet?
Restroom just sounds more polite, especially when in a restaurant.
Because the toilet is the actual object in the room that is being. So restroom is used. In school we did call it a lavatory.
I know people who have a good time for thinking in toilet, so I can say they "make meditate".
@@toddperman8265 Off course 😊 I absolutely don't mind the Americans and their style of speaking 😊 but being a total fan of BrE 'restroom' still sounds quite a funny word to me. I am Polish btw.
@@lucynk-aqz-ska4118 yeah, contemplation is a good thing, isnt it? 😊
About your book, it's currently unavailable (in paperbook) I would like to buy one....Do you know when it will be back in stock at Amazon?
a euphemism I use is “I need to check the plumbing”, I also say “nature calls”
So used to saying bog and loo i don't even think about it anymore 🤣
I think Khazi comes from the mispronunciation of Kamikaze， Kaze in Japanese means "Wind". I mean: If you pass wind, nature's calling you.
I started laughing just from your first sentence 😂
Superb.
But the spelling of euphemism is wrongly displayed in the video.
👍
Long drop (NZ).
2:17 Ah, I use Men's when I'm in a pub.
I had a friend when I was in high school whose parents would say "I'm visiting uncle John/aunt Jane."
If you look at some floorplans for older public buildings where people would go dressed in their finest, such as theatres and night clubs, you might find a "powder room" which was a fancy women's bathroom. Hence, "I'm going to powder my nose" is something a lady says when she doesn't want to be crude.
A euphemism for pooping that I like (but don't use) is "dropping the kids off at the pool."
You could have called it “The young British guide to English” as a homage to Britten
How about "powderroom"? I read about it in the book of Helen Moor "That's Not English..."/
Here in Rome we are more polite... Number one we'd say "I'm going to change the olives' water"
che buffo! non la sapevo !
You forgot “washroom” which is very (English-speaking) Canadian. We say bathroom and restroom as well but Washroom is what you’ll see on the door or whatever of a public toilet. You almost never see “bathroom”. It’s usually washroom or restroom. I don’t like it when I hear people say they have to use the “bathroom” when in public. Is there a bathtub in there? Lol Washroom makes more sense as you wash your hands (hopefully!) Lol
This is how I know the English language is overly complex. 28 words for somewhere to take a dump! Madness
Amazon says;not available for this book btw
7:00 « Pee-Wee » 😅
I have seen a roadside toilet block called a "comfort station" in Australia.
I can assure you that Australians don't actually say that 😅
A few terms/euphemisms that I have heard that were not in the video: commode, pot/potty, throne; the stinky, outdoor, individual toilets on construction sites I have heard called "port-a-potty."
America says Bathroom
Wizz Air is a name of discounter flight company. Looks like they do not want clients to expect too much comfort ))
Sits in the washroom and doing a toilet tutorial 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂
7th comment lol
"Just took a huge dump"
Lay a brick.
Squeeze one off.
Let the little bears go into the bush
Water loo is where Napoleon had been flushed ? 😉
The other day my mate told me to wait for him cause he needed to drop the kids off. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha that's so good!😂😂
.... at the pool
