- Did you know London Cab Drivers have a unique language they use that is related to their industry and the city they work in. In this episode I'll introduce you to some of these intriguing words and phrases and explain the meaning behind them. Big thank you to Tim from Ealing rank and Dave from the Iron Lung for their knowledge on the subject.

Great video Mark! Be Lucky!
Grew up around Kensington. Remember cabbie slang refer to PG Tips - Palace Gardens Terrace & BMW - Belgrave Mews West. Terry
Well presented mark very interesting and great to meet you in bangkok
Nice...👍.
This is a hoot, thanks very much! :o)
Thanks for watching and also employing the much unused word ‘Hoot’ I love that expression!
"Where too guv?" Waterloo, station? Well its a bit late for the battle....oh me sides
I always thought that the dead zoo was the House of Lords !
Apparently Islington High Street used to be such a rough area late at night that cabbies used to switch off their lights going through it. Wish I'd known that while walking back to Spitalfields after a leaving do some 30 years ago!
Hi Mark. I thought Kipper Season was so called as things in hospitality and other events went flat in January and February..great channel.
Thanks for watching David! I didn’t know that one, it will certainly go in the book. 🙏🏻😊
@@Marktaxi Thanks Mark. My Dad told me that one: he was in the wine trade! Looking forward to the next video. David
These hurry up job's nearly always result in getting stuck at every set of traffic lights and roadworks, punters that say nothing more often get to their destination quicker
Agreed! Your spot on
True 😆
Don't forget the Zeiger who knows what that is.Wheres the scent bottle.What station has the Stage door.whats a Cole Porter anyone know.
Ah-bilkers. As a PH driver in Cheshire, I've only had a couple, thankfully. I shall be wishing my fellow cabbies 'be lucky' from now on 😁
I'll be the lical lads don't know about kipper season haha. (It's not been too bad this year, unusually) 👍
I’ve heard another theory on the term ‘Butterboy’; in that it refers to older, more experienced cabbie putting a younger - newly passed out driver in his place by saying : “what do you know, you’re nothing but a boy”. ‘But-a-boy’.
I’ve also heard that one! Thanks for watching
Bilking in police slang means making off from a filling station without paying for fuel.
Or not paying your cab fare.
I’ve been to that dead zoo. A fine one it is too.
Hi Mark, I always enjoy your videos. I think it is very unfair to ask a cabbie to get you there quickly, especially nowadays with all the 20 mph speed restrictions.
No driver wants to risk a fine and points on his licence.
I’m don’t think there is a cabbie that hasn’t been caught speeding in London over the past year! Thanks for watching
The opposite of the kipper season is the Salmon season
7:23 Yeah, but he started his pro career in Arse-nal.
🤣
If you do a Cole Porter what have you done.
I’d love to know! Am thinking of doing another cabbie slang so send a few over 👍
Wondering what minicab(ph) drivers are called?🤔😬
Hey Mark, I missed one.. but maybe you didn't plan to put all of them.. but isn't "apples" another one too?
Apples? As in apples and pears?
@@Marktaxi ehm, I've seen an couple of times in some vids the remarks "apples on ......", But now that I write this down, it comes to me that I better had done that the first time.. 🤣
I thought kipper season was because everyone was a kip.
I hate hurry up ones literally hate these jobs.
Thank god for the iron lung the regency don't have a toilet
Just become a PH driver and few days ago had a passenger picked up at 13:55 and she had to be there for 14:00 and the route was 15 mins long… started the usual mumbling, turn off music, how long etc.
Yep hurry up jobs are a pain! I tell them now that they will be late after all it was them that didn’t manage their time properly
London ex-Uber driver of 7 years. Packed it in late October ‘22. Got this frequently. Always women with their head up their ass. Used to drive them to the nearest Tube station & boot them out. Dip5hits that can’t manage their time.
What happened to musher . Still I think leather arse .relates to the skin on you body not the seat😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I thought 'Butter Boy' meant , 'Oh he's But a Boy' ( a Newbie / Inexperianced ) Are you sure your explanation is Gospel ?
This one I literally had 5 or 6 different interpretations from london cabbies! Had one today saying it was because butter-boys stole the butter from the bread of the older drivers, thanks for watching and your feedback is great! M
You are right
Kipper season was called kipper because it stinks
Bilking and On Point aren't specifically Cabby words or phrases.
I noticed you never mentioned not going south of the river, which you lot hated!

Mentioned here, thanks for watching!
No one comes here for music, any music - so why the noise added?
less is more...
One hopes Mark removes all the music and re-upload all of his videos - music-free.
I won’t be able to re-upload but thanks for watching anyway 🙏🏻
