Several people (including the MythBusters) have actually tried letting bulls loose in a china shop. Turns out they're incredibly careful and don't hit anything. So that would be the scientifically correct meaning of the expression.
I was a bit confused, in my country the saying goes 'elephant in a porcelain shop' and I think it makes a lot more sense. An elephant cannot help but smash things due to its size.
@@rkah6187 - That same logic would apply to a bull. And yet they actively _avoid_ hitting anything. If anything, I'd say elephants are even more careful about the way they move (they actively avoid stepping on small animals, for example). So if you make a porcelain shop with aisles wide enough to fit an elephant, it'll probably avoid hitting anything. And if the aisles aren't big enough for an elephant, well, then you can't get the elephant _into_ the shop in the first place.
@@RFC-3514 Well, in my mind, china shops are standardised and therefore a bull would get on better in them than an elephant. But you do make an excellent point 😁
TBF mythbusters did use a 'china shop' with reasonably spacey aisles. I'm not sure what would happen if you let a bull loose in one of those China shops where people have to suck in stomachs to get past the China on the floor. If I kept trying to be careful and knocking things down I'd be tempted to just growl and shove through so I imagine the bull might be as well.
@@spacemonkey4811 It cost the channel too much money and Dave had to spend so much time making them, so it's highly unlikely he'll do a full series anyway
My ex used to say " Bleeding like a stuffed pig" instead of stuck pig. I even explained the part where a stuffed animal does not bleed and certain knives used to be called pig stickers. She would get so confused and mad, it was great.
Was this during the time of the month when she was bleeding like a pig that at that moment in time could not be stuffed.... Without making it extra messy?

Same. This is really bugging me Edit: just found out its ilk - meaning the same or similar to. An example in a sentence would be: "I'm sick and tired of Dave Gorman and his ilk appearing on TV". Meaning "I'm sick and tired of Dave Gorman and people similar to him appearing on TV".
I personally feel changing the name of Sugar Puffs to "Honey Puffs" would have worked better - Honey Monster Puffs sounds like a mouthful to me, and as I grew up, I kept thinking they were called "Honey Puffs" anyway, likely thanks to the Honey Monster (which brings credibility to Dave's theory.)
I'm surprised they stuck with "puff" since puff is a slang word for both cannabis and homosexuals. Although I do admire them sticking to their guns in that sense.

6:59 My last name has an "ough" in it, pronounced 'aw'. Believe me, even native English speakers mess up the pronunciation, when I come from a massive family that they probably know 2 or 3 cousins already
I used to have to do enrolment duty at Lambeth College in Clapham, London, when I worked there. For 'foreign' students, after I'd entered various of their personal details onto the computer system, I had to direct them to the 'eligibility' desk to see if they needed to pay fees. Always in another room, explaining to people for whom English is a second or third language that they need to seek this sign out was laughable.

Side fact about cereal brand s since Coco Pops came up. A lot of people don't remember this, but Coco Pops actually changed their brand name at some point in the mid 90s. I remember cos I was a child who loved Coco Pops. They renamed them to "Choco Krispies" and as a child I then totally lost interest in the cereal altogether. I don't know why... something in my childish brain seemed to fail to recognise it was the same product under a new name. However, it seems I wasn't the only one affected by this and sales for the cereal plummeted. The Choco Krispies name didn't last very long, and they pretty quickly switched back to Coco Pops, which is what they are still called today.
I 100% agree with the tennis announcers complaining about maria Sharapova. If the announcers had to use that made up name, it would open the door to companies purchasing the naming rights to literal athletes. Nobody wants that.
Loughborough would be difficult for me to pronounce as an American from st. Louis missouri, but we just so happen to have a loughborough in STL, so it's not lol

This show would be great just for the music that plays over the opening credits.
'OUGH' can actually be pronounced 8 different ways : he forgot the 'up' as in 'hiccough'.

"ilk", or kind
