I voted for this comment.
I can't believe it, just emailed you mate. This is the best news for this day!))
how can i buy your book as ebook
My sentence: Jack was jammy to be uncaught when he did a runner in a famous restaraunt in London - Sketch
I haven't seen the video but I alredy know that I will learn a lot
Loving that attitude Sergio! Enjoy!
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish I enjoyed it! Thanks Tom
"well now then mardy bum, oh i'm in trouble again aren't i"
that is the first thing came to my mind..............
Mardy=Louis Tomlinson. I knew you'd put him, he's such a Yorkshire lad
I mean, he's the sass master of Doncaster amirite😂
In London, If you want to rabbit in English with locals but you don't want to go tits-up of the conversation. This book is so lush for you.
If you couldn't find any English lesson to learn British slang in the ends. And you don't wanna be a plonker here.This book is really suit you. Otherwise you have to carry the can for all what you said.Good luck to me😉im Aiza Emilie from HK. ..Cheers~
Guys, don't be plonkers: for Christmas use your loaf and buy this book! Nothing can go tits up with this lush gift under your Christmas tree 🌲
I am asking for it, but in the U.S. it is expensive! I hope I can get it. I am going to watch this video over and over until I only talk in British slang. I love it!
My sentence: There’s a bloke living in my ends who often does runners. From India
My sentence: I felt such a bell-end during the kerfuffel I initiated after trying to do a runner in that restaurant crammed with toffs.
That tory restaurant was full of toff bell-ends! They'll be crying saltwater tears from the shin-kicking I savaged them with! We laughed 'til we wept after we pegged it out the gaff and not a pence spent so we were quids-in at the end of the affair anyways. Proper horror-show! It was mint! Found a bang-tidy missus an all after we got lathered down the boozer. Sicking up diamond white on the down-low the morrow though, innit.
-Although it is such a well-known restaurant, there aren't many guests tonight so I'm afraid it's impossible to do a runner mate.
-Do you think so? Hold my beer.
Years ago I bought a mug with lots of pictures of Mr Bean with the words “Full of Beans”. Until today I believed it was a joke I didn’t understand. Thanks Tom for your videos. They help us a lot to learn English better.
My sentence: "Star Wars l ,ll would have been great , but Lucas became involved and the story- line went titsup!"
My sentence : At school.
"John, could you shut the window please?"
"Why aye Man"
"What do you mean saying WHY I? Because teacher asks you doing that, you plonker "
Love it Le Serge! This sentence made me laugh. You are a winner. Email me - Tom@eatsleepdreamenglish.com and we'll arrange a book for you.
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish I'm a bit late) Thanks a lot!
Le serge . Could you send me the PDF ? Please
Please La serge
I'll be eternally grateful with you . Please
This afternoon I was all over the place: I made a half-arsed attempt at the housework which I hadn't done for yonks, but it all went tits up. I got really mardy, gave it up and went to bed, but when I was lying there in the buff I saw your video - and now I'm full of beans!
Thanks for another great lesson Tom! It was super useful 👍 I love it when you teach modern English - I learned a lot from your videos.
Winner! Well done Drunk Cherry, I really liked the way you organically used the new slang phrases in a very natural way while also telling a story. Send me an email and I'll arrange a book to be sent to you. Tom@eatsleepdreamenglish.com
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish OMG, I didn't even expect it... Thank you sooo much, Tom, for liking and choosing my comment!!! ❤❤❤
My sentence : Oi mate haven't seen you in yonks, fancy a drink in my endz?
Winner! I really liked this sentence because it feels like something I might genuinely say. Well done! Send me an email and we'll arrange the book for you. Tom@eatsleepdreamenglish.com

It's a pdf copy or not
I was at a jobs fair this week and, talking to one of the delegates, I asked if he had any 'bumf' - mostly leaflets containing information that is sometimes useful (such as product information), but more often than not is useless or tedious (such as the flyers that suddenly appear through your letterbox).
I don't know if 'bumf' is used predominantly in the North of England, as the guy with whom I was speaking was a Southerner and had to ask what it meant.
I discover this channel with the Louis Tomlinson accent's video (sorry if I rabbit about him all day) but I stay for your videos and personality, you're such a full of beans mate!
I'm Egyptian and my aim is to reach your amazing British accent , it's my favourite 💜
عملتي اي ؟
@@omarmuhammad6868 والله بقالى فترة مش متابعة
لانى مشغولة بالكلية وخصوصا ان تخصصى لغة مختلفة _اسبانى_ فتجاهلت الانجليزى شوية
بس النطق تحسن شوية عن الأول
What a great lesson, Tom! Here's my example: Why aye! I did realize he was slagging me off! Not surprising coming from such a plonker! Thank you Tom and greetings from Argentina.
Tom!!!! I am absolutely loving your book! I'm learning loads of new super useful stuff, thank you so much!!
What a useful lesson!
I can't thank you enough🥰
I love your videos Tom. You are a great teacher 🤗
Here in Malta, zebra crossing is a standard way of referring to pedestrian crossings. I'm surprised to hear it's actually a slang term.
We also call them zebra crossings in Spain
My small niece are studying English in her school and yesterday she asked about translation "pedestrians cross" so I had to looking for this word but today I have discovered is also zebra crossing in London!! This word is better for us because is very similar in Spain!! We will not forget it next time!! 😉
sadly, you españolitos should be calling them "bull crossings", if you get my drift...sad
@@JohnZaabi I haven't seen any stripped bull in my whole life, maybe that's why we call that kind of crossing pasos de cebra
I’ve just bought your last book and I’m really enjoying it!
Some of these have very different meanings in America! "Neck" means kissing and cuddling, while "full of beans" can mean crazy. I'd love to know the etymology behind all of these.
I love slang words! Thanks for this handy video! I'd be jammy if I could get the copy of your brand-new book!
Thanks a ton for this video! I am from India. I’m a student from class 10 and I am trying to learn the British English! Your videos have helped greatly. By the way, your British Accent is so elegant! I want to speak with the same accent! Cheers!
I just really need this book. That's all...
Thanks a lot Thomas.
Amazing video as always and the best teacher ever ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Perfect video that covers all that we need to know :)
I like the work Kerfuffle. We use it in Canada as well. I have also used half-assed as well.
My sentence: "Germany's footy game against Spain went absolutey tits-up and now they should carry the can for playing utterly atrocious ". From Germany
I was all ready for my holiday in London this summer, but it goes tits up due to the corona virus outbreak!
Great video!!!!. Thank you very much. I' ll put some of these expressions into use next time i have guests from the UK ( i am a tour guide by the way😊). See you on your video
-A doctor and a bus driver are both in love with the same woman. The bus driver had to go on a long bustrip that would last a week. Before he left, he gave the woman seven apples. Why?
-???
-It's a piece of cake. Use your loaf, Mate!
(The solution: An apple a day keeps the doctor away! 😀)
-He's changed..full of beans, lost weight..bought a house...
-Yeah, shocking diet: does a runner from restaurants, saving money on both gym and foods.
I made a half-arsed attemp to enter this contest and mine is all over the gaff, it’s utterly rubbish ! 🤣
"Do I want this book?
Way aye man!!"
Thanks for everything Tom🌻
-A full of beans fellow teacher from Greece ☃️
Blimey! I have been waiting for this book for yonks! Winning this giveaway will save me a couple of quid.
It's really interesting to see that some of these have made it into Canadian English, at least in British Columbia and Alberta.
I really wanna your book tom I love these slangs but I was knowing 13 of them from before hand 😁
Mangen Tak for dieses Video.
My friend is such a bell-end : I told him to do a runner and he did!
Use your loaf,mate!
I'm sometimes so all over the shop feeling like a right plonker, trying to remember what to do so I have to use my loaf to get stuff in order. And if I manage to do that, it makes me full of beans because things are finally looking up.
I bet you enjoyed making this one! Didn’t realise lush is from the West Country; it’s also used in the NE
I remember back in the day when I first started watching Top Gear, I only understood about half of what they were saying. lol, It's crazy how different two versions of English can be.
great video, Tom! I like that
I believe that this video is like a cannon ball 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩l haven't watched it yet but I'm so excited to watch it 😊
I had a kerfuffle with my mum on my birthday about the mardy mate of her. He wanted to do the runner that time. He thought I was a bell-ends. I'd fancy a copy of your book as well.
A guy I used to work with is such a bell-end, I've always wondered what is the meaning of this word because he uses it a lot, thank you for explaining it to us :)
Bell end is actually the end of you penis when erect, it looks like a bell.
Zebra crossing reminds me of the iconic picture of The Beatles Julio Abbadie Argentina
I'm from Indonesia always waiting your videos mate!!
I told my cousins I was going to participate to win Tom's book and there was a huge kerfuffle over who I was going to lend it first if I won it. I've had many amazing english teachers but if someone asked me if Tom has been the best of them I would say: why aye man! without a second thought.
Really interesting video as always, thanks for sharing 👍🥳👏
You have such a great content, I hope you'll get more eatsleepdreamers I hope we won't have to wait your video in the buff for yonks, if you know what I mean.
Mrs Bucket ( pronounced bouquet) is such a toff.
Hi Tom. May I suggest an example for an X slang word? You didn't say "no", so it goes. XIXI. You pronounce sheeshee and it means pee. Like, when you ask your son before leaving the house before a trip. "Do you need a sheeshee before leaving?" By the way, this is Portuguese, from Portugal.
Thank youuuuuu 😍
you know what i think would be Really useful ? A book with a complete list of slang/ idioims used in the UK.
1:51 Ah, in Chinese, we have one that means exactly the same, but it's (bracketed words not spoken) "to carry a (black) wok (on one's back)".
" I'll take you to the best satay kiosk in Jakarta!"
Love from Indonesia!☺️
There is a plonker living in my ends who does runners from the nearby hotels.
There was a bit of a kerfuffle when I ran into the pub in the buff to order a pint of lager.
Tom! Should it be "as" instead of "when"? (#afterthought...)
Hey Tom, any chance you could make & sell a t-shirt version of your UK slang map? I think that'd be great, especially on a good quality shirt, like maybe a ringer T in a natural with dark ribbing, etc.
I should be studying but instead I'm watching this, my planning is all over the gaff!
I am full of beans today, so I am going to watch over again all of the videos of Eat Sleep Dream English to improve my British English ❤️❤️❤️
If had to choose an ends to live in, I'd definitely go for one close to Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade.
Love your accent a lot and I'm trying to copy yours
Mate, United was all over the shop against us when we played against them. Also Kane and Sonny where full of beans that day. No wonder we won 6-1. But against Antwerp our players looked a bit half-arsed. But I think we are having a great season so far. We have not been on top of the table for yonks!
Hahah Kerfuffle is my new favorite word
Very interesting!! I love the bellend word🤣
My favourite accents are Liverpool ( paddy pimblet) and Cokney. Third may be Brummie
I have been wanting to travel to Italy for the past 25 years and decided for my 50th birthday this year, I would go for a week but due to the virus it all went tits up
Congratulations!
It was useful tahnk you so much❤❤😍😍
I hope it will be available in Iran as soon as possible🙂
I can't wait to have it❤
True story: when in Ibiza last summer, me and my bestie did a runner from the top "full of toffs" Beach Club.. Mate.. We waited yonks for the bill but never showed up 🤷🏼♀️well.. We were kind of forced.. Weren't we? Lushhhh😎
I wish the paperback was available in the US, but it's showing up as being around $70 rather than the $20 or so it would be in the UK :( This is a great video, thanks Tom! I wonder how Burton's feels about the slang definition of "jammy" ;)
When I saw the notification I was full of beans, because I knew this video will be lush
In America I'm familiar with the phase " In The BUFF ".
10:14 Loaf, loaf of... bread, bread rhymes with head...
Ah, Eureka!
alternative for doing a runner = LEG IT! 🏃♂️
4:19 Is it from "belly-up", as in "animals, esp. fish that died when their corpses show their bellies as they float back to the surface"?
I haven't see you in the buff for yonks! You are so lush! What a plonker I am, I was just joking :)
v for vex, spoken a lot in london slang,
I ain't lucky enough to get what I want it but I enjoy Watching ur videos tom 😁
Half arsed in the UK is Half ass in the US and a Half baked cookie or just half baked in Indian English.
I'm pretty sure that by the time I get the book the slang will have changed a hundred times ))
Lush is a “Drunk” in American English. “Neck” in American English is slang for kissing. “Loaded” also means wealthy in American English.
I feel like I'm learning more English by watching your videos than I learned for twelve years at school.
If I get a copy of that book, I will get it in the buff
bell-end sounds sooo similar to my name! My God! I will have to change my name if I'm going to England haha
My sentence is: LOOK ZEBRAS ARE CROSSING ZEBRA CROSSING. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hello Tom. I would like to have a Kindle edition of that book, but unfortunately I could not find. Is there still some of them?
I want this book because I am coming to uk for my studies and it will help me to learn some British English slangs which will help me there. Need this book badly.
But the choice is yours Tom to give me this book or not. Love from India.
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏👍👍
I'll love a video about Adele, never ever I get it that she say, she speak so fast :3
5:00 ... Tom .. no no nooooooo please not 😂🙈🙉
"CLARKSOOOON!!! You are this much of a bellend!" said James May a few times on air. And it was funny :)
My sentence: "This second lockdown is leaving me in a half-arsed mood but the idea of having Tom in the buff in the next video gets me excited and full of beans..." LOL
I want to have your book
For ‘V’ how about ‘veg out’?
“What you doing this evening?”
“Mate, I’m just gonna stay home and veg out.”
I’m pretty sure I’ve not heard that here in the US, so I guess it’s unique to us in the UK.
