I love the addition of the French guy because it actually is kinda how we got the English names for meats historically - the poorer Germanic people tended the herds so their words became the live animals while the richer Normans (French) mostly saw the animals when they were on the dinner table so their words became to meats

@@KanaNyctous but eating meat is instinctive. A cat will kill and eat without ever being shown the concept. You think millions of years of being meat consuming omnivores can be so easily put aside in order to be herbivores? No, people will eat meat, always. If you want to stop the realisation of how much unnecessary pain we cause the animals, then all you need is to stop trying to teach people that the pain is unnecessary, because most of those people will believe you but never stop eating it. The eating will happen regardless, you invent the guilt.
Fun fact, the English word "flesh" comes from the German word for meat, "Fleisch". Also, the English word "corpse" comes from the German word "Körper", which means "body". Also, theory: the creepy guy is in so many departments because he makes everyone so uncomfortable that he keeps getting transferred when each department complains about him.
Or like my company he is the CFO. Standard Business Attire is slacks and dress shirt for all employees but women have the option of wearing a skirt, but dresses are not allowed Translation: Skirt Length ---->(Above the Knee = Good/ Below the Knee = Bad). I ponder to think what the women will choose?... Let's just say work for me is very similar to an anime.
"Flesh" comes from Middle English "flesh-flesch-flæsch", from Old English "flǣsċ", from West Germanic "flaiski", from Proto-Germanic "flaiski", from PIE "plehḱ". "Corpse" comes from the earlier "corse", from Old French "cors", from Latin "corpus".
Fun Fact: "Pork" really does come from French but only in the masculine sense, like when referring to a boar. Which is ironic considering most pork is made from sows.
@@yoshidinono8095 The French forced the English to screw up their language by making up a bunch of words and twist the spelling of others, and to this day, we have done little to correct that. That is why pig is also called ham and pork, or cattle is called beef. I am certain the French find this funny somehow
Are you sure about that? When it comes to livestock, the females are often used for other purposes, before they are slaughtered, so they usually have longer lifespans - like for breeding or producing goods (like cows and hens produce milk and eggs). The males are essentially useless, so they're often killed at an early age, either by being slaughtered or by just being exterminated (this happens to chickens a lot). Male piglets are castrated as babies, because the testosterone would stink up the meat otherwise. Most people don't like that taste. I know that people in France and Belgium eat it anyway, but that's an exception. Maybe you've heard, that boar meat is inedible; but it's actually not. They just have to be prevented from entering puberty.
@@OmniscientWarrior Pretty sure it had something to do with norman kings and peasants who used distinctive words for animals, when the peasants brought pigs and cows to the table and the king would eat pork and beef.

Can we just appreciate the fact that somehow in the Ryan-verse countries formed, developed their own languages and cultures, including food, and then just never thought to name any of it.
I think this world of Ryan clones was either hit with a mass amnesia event or it was created and populated but the clones weren't given any instructions.
While contemplating the Ryan-verse, spare a thought of how hard it must be for people who live in that universe who do NOT look like a Ryan. We know there are at least a couple who have done collab videos, like Julie Nolke.
I like how this one is surprisingly accurate to how the actual words were developed. The animals are named similar to German (their derivative) and the meats are named similar to French(their derivative). The German word for meat is (roughly speaking) Flesh, and the name for the animals meats are just (roughly) Cow Flesh, Swine Flesh etc
iirc the reason we use different words for the animal and the meat is because back in the day, French (or rather, the ancestor to modern day French) was the language of the rich, who would basically never see farm animals except as food, while the commonfolk who would actually work with the animals and rarely actually ate them themselves spoke Germanic languages. Hence when English developed, "French" words were being used to describe meat, and "German" words the animals.
@@Zeppongola sort of, but it was actually the english words that were used to describe the animals, just old english (or anglo-saxon, which is a germanic language-a language family that a few languages, obv including german, belong to). the french occupied england for a period of time and introduced a ton of french words, as well as changed some spelling to sound more french. a good amount of the reason modern english seems to have so many rules that don’t actually apply to everything is because it’s a mix of a germanic language and a latin language (and a ton of other weird historical contributions but that’s it extremely simplified)

This was great! It would be funny if baked goods were next. I was making brownies the other day and I was wondering why they were called that. I mean, plenty of other baked goods are brown.
Good that you got the french guy in there because the names of the foods came from french, more accurately the old french dialect that the Normans used. After the Norman conquests the Normans were the ruling Elite of England and spoke in the only honorable language a sophisticated man should speak - french, while the peasants spoke their lowly old English. The peasants tended to the animals, so they called them in their English names, while the Normans got them served and called the end products their french names.
Oh yeah, I'd heard that English absorbed a lot of French words because French-speakers conquered English speakers there for awhile! Thanks for explaining that so well!
@@chalion8399 tl;dr After the Fr*nch invaded England, the peasants kept using English names, while the nobility used Fr*nch names, which is how we get pairs like cow/beef
In case anyone's curious of the actual etymology of the non-obvious ones: Beef = ultimately comes from "bovine" Hamburger = literally means "native of Hamburg" or "something made in Hamburg" and used to be called "hamburg steak." It's unclear how or whether this connects to the city name at all Filet mignon = literally means "cute cut" or "dainty strip." Bologna = a city from Latin "Bononia," which may mean "fortress" or the name of the Boii people Jerky = Means "dried flesh," from the Incan word "charqui." Hot dog = A joke about whether sausages contained dog meat.
Bologna is named after the Italian city of Bologna because it's where it originates from. Yes, "Bononia" was its Latin name, but nobody has been calling it that for several hundreds of years.
I thought the last one would be wiener or weenie, which comes from the german name for Vienna (Wien), and is also a slang for.. okay, you probably know it.
First I have to say your videos are the only one I upvote before starting-blocks to watch them, that's how much I love those. Also, as a French person from France I really love to hear you drop some French in your videos, it's always the very opposite of an inconvenience.
So funnily enough a lot of the meat in English comes from French words and the animal comes from Anglo-Saxon words like cow versus beef or chicken and poultry because the rich people tended to speak French and had access to the meat but not the animal
Aren't "chickens" actually named "hens" when they are still alive? I'm pretty sure chicken is only supposed to refer to the meat and not the animal (even tho a lot of people use it for both)
I only recently discovered Ryan's brilliant videos, I vaguely knew he was Canadian but as a French guy I was over the moon hearing him speak French! I don't even mind the Québécois accent :p
I was so confused when I found out that a hamburger is spelled and pronounced hamburger instead of handburger like I had previously thought. Because you hold it in your hand and it is about the size of your hand and has nothing to do with ham. But one time I googled why a hamburger is called a hamburger and I found out it is because it was invented in Hamburg Germany so now you all know the reason.
It's also why hot dog sausages are called Frankfurters, because they originated in Frankfurt. The Germans were good at naming food. They also refer to donuts as Berliners because they originated in Berlin. That made it quite embarrassing for JFK when he visited Berlin and announced 'ich bin ein Berliner' which translates to 'I am a donut'. Thankfully for him, he didn't visit Hamburg or Frankfurt.
I heard it was more they had to compromise while making the schnitzel and wurst they were used to, and in the US, they got named after the places the creators were from. Compromise on the ingredients and taste I mean, like with the pizza and pies.
Bologna is named after the Italian city, pronounced “boh-LOH-nya”. The reason we pronounce it “baloney” is because of the southern Italian and east coast Italian-American’s custom of chopping off the last vowel sound in foods. Hence pro-SCIUTT’ or mo-za-RELL’. The same thing happened with bologna.
@@NewfieMan98 I think french is also an official language in New Brunswick (alongside english, of course). What Quebec have in particular however is that English is NOT an official language there and there is actually laws to limit it's official use... With that said, something like 80% of the population is billingual so in retrospect, it wouldn't surprise me one bit that Ryan is either a francophone with a flawless english or an anglophone who grew up there and learned an excellent french.
@@metrozeegle4985 At the end of the Ant Man and the Wasp pitch meeting revisited, he talks about going to French school. Tried to paste the link here but yt didn't like it apparently!
That's me a herbs though for me it wasn't so much as a joke as more I never heard anyone say the word I was reading out loud and just thought you said it how it was written.
What about these small strips of salt cured pork? -Bacon Well you can bake it but typically people cook this meat. -Oh and we should call those small baked dessert sweets cookies But you bake those… okay I’m just going to write down bacon and move on
I have an alternate idea for the origin of "Hot Dog" "What about this thing that's made of like every animal." "It's made of every single animal?" "Ok, maybe not every animal. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have dog in it." "So let's call it 'Dog.'" "You want to name it the one animal it's not?" "Easier than naming it every animal it is."
It's not just the performances that are entertaining, the writing is really good. It's actually kind of impressive if you think about it. Churning as many of these out as he has and you can still easily follow the logic of the clones.
Sorry, had to comment before seeing the video because the roll-in ad was for a microscope ("Discover Echo") with a heavy bass song that made it seem like an ad for beats by dre. Feels like the perfect ad to roll into a Ryan George sketch.
Yeah, how about a hot dachshund? 😄 But, I love your videos where you speculate on how things are named. This came close to beating the one on how tools got their names. Or...how about these sliced pig bellies? You can fry or bake them. That's it...frycon! 🤣
"Oh god, what's he going to suggest?" "Come-Hither Canines." "No." "Presenting Puppies." "God no." "Doggy-style Dalmations." "That's wrong on many different levels and hard no." "You only want something generic, like Hot Dogs." "I am going to write that down just to shut you up again."
One variant of the Place Where Words for Things are Decided I'd love to see is "measurement units", like why "pounds" are expressed as "lbs", and such.

I love me some corpse bits.
Corpse bits is tight
"Calling it flesh doesn't make it sound super appetising."

1:35 the right question to ask is "how many departments does he get kicked out of?"
I think you mean, how many times does this guy annoys
Ive been watching this man for a long time nice seeing him still doing well
i don't know if you're talking about watching ryan himself or his videos but i'm just gonna assume that you're talking about his videos
Yeah, same here, I noticed he recently got a second wardrobe for his 2nd floor bedroom and it looks really fancy, really happy for Ryan
I'm worried about how much I like Creepy Guy. Hey, at least he seems to be keen on his work, given how many meetings he's in!
Same
Gotta love that he spelled bologna with the classic cadence like it had a first name and a second name too.
I love the beef jerky exchange and the look the boss gave before saying he liked it, your videos keep improving Ryan!
That was hands down the best part
I almost missed the subtle launch of the Weird Pervert Guy cinematic universe.
This was great! It would be funny if baked goods were next. I was making brownies the other day and I was wondering why they were called that. I mean, plenty of other baked goods are brown.
But for some reason we have cookies?
What would happen if they call it blackies?
All of them, eventually.
Let me Bake some Cookies and Cook some Bacon
They are called that because of what happened in the Girl Scouts v/s Brownie war.
I love how he's been showing off his french in recent episodes, it really adds a bit of flavour too them
Not sure if you ever look down here for suggestions but I think a sketch on nicknames and how Richard turned into Dick has great potential.
I expected that naming bologna would be difficult. Turns out it was super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
Oh, wow, wow, wow…wow…
It also has a first name, you know...
Ryan George is a top tier RUclipsr--definitely underrated
My Mom agrees with you
Is that irony?
he has 1.5m subs
“Oooh! I AGREE!”
Oh, GOSH! What’s he gonna suggest?
Good that you got the french guy in there because the names of the foods came from french, more accurately the old french dialect that the Normans used. After the Norman conquests the Normans were the ruling Elite of England and spoke in the only honorable language a sophisticated man should speak - french, while the peasants spoke their lowly old English. The peasants tended to the animals, so they called them in their English names, while the Normans got them served and called the end products their french names.
My brain hurts.
Oh yeah, I'd heard that English absorbed a lot of French words because French-speakers conquered English speakers there for awhile! Thanks for explaining that so well!
@@chalion8399 tl;dr After the Fr*nch invaded England, the peasants kept using English names, while the nobility used Fr*nch names, which is how we get pairs like cow/beef
And now, for some strange reason, I have the urge to rewatch "The Insulting Frenchman" from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
@@justineberlein5916 I take it you're not a fan of Fr*nce?
I like how the punchline to the end is the thumbnail. It just links it all up very beautifully
In case anyone's curious of the actual etymology of the non-obvious ones:
Beef = ultimately comes from "bovine"
Hamburger = literally means "native of Hamburg" or "something made in Hamburg" and used to be called "hamburg steak." It's unclear how or whether this connects to the city name at all
Filet mignon = literally means "cute cut" or "dainty strip."
Bologna = a city from Latin "Bononia," which may mean "fortress" or the name of the Boii people
Jerky = Means "dried flesh," from the Incan word "charqui."
Hot dog = A joke about whether sausages contained dog meat.
Bologna is named after the Italian city of Bologna because it's where it originates from.
Yes, "Bononia" was its Latin name, but nobody has been calling it that for several hundreds of years.
Interesting how we eat so much bovine and caprine meat.
I assumed wiener dog was the original name, but then hot dog caught on over time
Hot dogs originate from Hamburg
I thought the last one would be wiener or weenie, which comes from the german name for Vienna (Wien), and is also a slang for.. okay, you probably know it.
“Stop suggesting corpse bits that’s not the right direction”
made me wheeze
He will be good at naming metal bands tho
I love the Hamburger bit🤣
And the lampshade hanging on the weird pervert
Love the "how things gets its name" series! Keep doing the creepy guy too!!
First I have to say your videos are the only one I upvote before starting-blocks to watch them, that's how much I love those.
Also, as a French person from France I really love to hear you drop some French in your videos, it's always the very opposite of an inconvenience.
For him it's super easy, barely an inconvenience. You see, there is a "french guy" in the Ryan universe.
THAT ENDING WAS PERFECT
I had to think about it and omg that was better than I was ever excepting
So funnily enough a lot of the meat in English comes from French words and the animal comes from Anglo-Saxon words like cow versus beef or chicken and poultry because the rich people tended to speak French and had access to the meat but not the animal
Aren't "chickens" actually named "hens" when they are still alive? I'm pretty sure chicken is only supposed to refer to the meat and not the animal (even tho a lot of people use it for both)
@@sugoha_2548 No. Hens are female chickens. Roosters or cocks are male chickens. Chicken is just the generic word for the bird either living or dead.
@@sugoha_2548 nah, hen is a female bird and cockerel is a male chicken 👌
Hen and cock are also used for non chicken birds such as guinea fowl and pea fowl.
@@MargaritaOnTheRox Rooster and what, "weird pervert guy."
Love the video - you are so creative with these! Also congrats on the engagement 💕💍 best wishes for you and your fiancée!
I only recently discovered Ryan's brilliant videos, I vaguely knew he was Canadian but as a French guy I was over the moon hearing him speak French! I don't even mind the Québécois accent :p
Understanding french makes this a tad more funnier, and, your accent is great! Keep it up
was about to comment this haha
From having heard him speak French on other media, he speaks "montréal french" or "franglais/frenglish" perfectly.
@@thezomby5015 yeah 100%
Can someone please translate all the French parts?
He is from Montreal, though.
*You should do "The First Guy to Ever Eat an Egg". Or maybe, "The First Guy to See Maple Syrup Coming Out of a Tree, and Eats It.*

A better name for "hot dog" is meat pickle. And when you put it on a bun, you've got a sandwich with a pretty big meat pickle in it.
I was so confused when I found out that a hamburger is spelled and pronounced hamburger instead of handburger like I had previously thought. Because you hold it in your hand and it is about the size of your hand and has nothing to do with ham. But one time I googled why a hamburger is called a hamburger and I found out it is because it was invented in Hamburg Germany so now you all know the reason.
It would have been great if Ryan would have put that in the video: "Do you have any idea, Hamburg guy?"
handburger is an excellent eggcorn.
It's also why hot dog sausages are called Frankfurters, because they originated in Frankfurt. The Germans were good at naming food. They also refer to donuts as Berliners because they originated in Berlin. That made it quite embarrassing for JFK when he visited Berlin and announced 'ich bin ein Berliner' which translates to 'I am a donut'. Thankfully for him, he didn't visit Hamburg or Frankfurt.
@@checkertwentyfour9349
"Hey German Guy, where are you from ?
- Hamburg ?
- Hamburg-err it is."
I heard it was more they had to compromise while making the schnitzel and wurst they were used to, and in the US, they got named after the places the creators were from. Compromise on the ingredients and taste I mean, like with the pizza and pies.
Can’t help but smile when you upload
Keep up the great videos :)
This is my second favorite of your little series'. Can't get enough of them
I love the creepy guy who somehow keeps his job regardless of the numerous complaints about him HR must get.
His twin brother works in HR.
Ooh, I guess they are going to PUNISH me now...
Ryan is the one RUclipsr who when I see a notification of a new video, I will immediately close what I’m watching to see his. Every time.
I literally did that
Same I did that
He never fails to crack me up.
Yep. Everything else can wait.
The guy in the pink hat is like the weird uncle at family gatherings
Bologna is named after the Italian city, pronounced “boh-LOH-nya”. The reason we pronounce it “baloney” is because of the southern Italian and east coast Italian-American’s custom of chopping off the last vowel sound in foods. Hence pro-SCIUTT’ or mo-za-RELL’. The same thing happened with bologna.
And hamburgers come from Hamburg, Germany…. And frankfurters come from Frankfurt, Germany
spaGHETT
@u suck cock Tony Soprano said it in a episode.
beware if the Pizz
i'm just upset that the fact that it's also called luncheon but that wasn't brought up
0:31
Weird Pervert Guy better be careful or he's gonna be put in a room, I've decided
Corpse bits is freaking funny to hear!
these naming department skits are always one of my favourites especially the fact that it always makes my day
Congrats on the engagement! Praying blessings on your upcoming wedding!!!
Hearing Ryan speak french is so weird because it’s actually pretty good !
He's from Quebec, Canada. Quebec is the only province in Canada where French is the official language.
@@NewfieMan98 I think french is also an official language in New Brunswick (alongside english, of course).
What Quebec have in particular however is that English is NOT an official language there and there is actually laws to limit it's official use...
With that said, something like 80% of the population is billingual so in retrospect, it wouldn't surprise me one bit that Ryan is either a francophone with a flawless english or an anglophone who grew up there and learned an excellent french.
He spoke English at home and French at school!
@@metrozeegle4985 At the end of the Ant Man and the Wasp pitch meeting revisited, he talks about going to French school. Tried to paste the link here but yt didn't like it apparently!
Love these! Keep it up
Dude! watch the video first. You may not like it.
@@vahidebrahimi9750 his content is always good
Even a post credits scene. Ryan's on top of his game.
My finance let my know you’re getting engaged. Thanks for countless laughs, when they were needed most. Salute.
This guy single-handedly saved the world in 2020 lol
I unironically call bologna by how it's spelled. Did it as a joke with my dad as a kid, and I never went back. lol
Fun fact: Baloney isn't how it's pronounced either. It's actually bo-lone-ya, in the same vein as lasagna.
That's me a herbs though for me it wasn't so much as a joke as more I never heard anyone say the word I was reading out loud and just thought you said it how it was written.
@@CyrusKazan Fun fact, I also often call lasagna "las-ahg-nah"
wow your french is incredible and so smooth,,, i am actually REALLY impressed by this
What about these small strips of salt cured pork?
-Bacon
Well you can bake it but typically people cook this meat.
-Oh and we should call those small baked dessert sweets cookies
But you bake those… okay I’m just going to write down bacon and move on
Some of these are actually correct. Beef does derive from "boeuf," and hot dogs were originally called Dachshund sausages.
That seedy dude is funny, but I remember matching with him on chat roulette many years ago and things got weird pretty quickly...
Taking this moment to applaud Ryan's French 👏👏👏
I have an alternate idea for the origin of "Hot Dog"
"What about this thing that's made of like every animal."
"It's made of every single animal?"
"Ok, maybe not every animal. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have dog in it."
"So let's call it 'Dog.'"
"You want to name it the one animal it's not?"
"Easier than naming it every animal it is."
Fair enough.
That actually makes sense . . . . . which is worrying
Hahaha, that's pretty darn brilliant.
The first person to come up with paintball...
I could only imagine
Oh yeah.
It's not just the performances that are entertaining, the writing is really good. It's actually kind of impressive if you think about it. Churning as many of these out as he has and you can still easily follow the logic of the clones.
What a great birthday celebration video. Love it. Keep up the great content, Ryan! We're all here for it.
Sorry, had to comment before seeing the video because the roll-in ad was for a microscope ("Discover Echo") with a heavy bass song that made it seem like an ad for beats by dre. Feels like the perfect ad to roll into a Ryan George sketch.
Perfect punchline. Just brilliant comedic execution, as always.
Yeah, how about a hot dachshund? 😄
But, I love your videos where you speculate on how things are named.
This came close to beating the one on how tools got their names.
Or...how about these sliced pig bellies? You can fry or bake them.
That's it...frycon! 🤣
Big Pitch Meeting fan. My son just introduced me to your sketch channel. New sub, good sir.
‘Corpse bits’
We should be worried about him. But I agree, that’s not a bad name
"Oh god, what's he going to suggest?"
"Come-Hither Canines."
"No."
"Presenting Puppies."
"God no."
"Doggy-style Dalmations."
"That's wrong on many different levels and hard no."
"You only want something generic, like Hot Dogs."
"I am going to write that down just to shut you up again."
One variant of the Place Where Words for Things are Decided I'd love to see is "measurement units", like why "pounds" are expressed as "lbs", and such.
Love your content, Ryan! I come back from time to time and binge watch all your vids. Keep it up!
I am glad you address the egregious spelling of BOLOGNA vs. how we pronounce it. (It really should be called mystery corpse bit paste roll anyway.)
It’s pronounced right cuz it’s an Italian word
Bologna is named after the Italian city, pronounced “boh-LOH-nya”. The reason we pronounce it “baloney” is because of the southern Italian and east coast Italian-American’s custom of chopping off the last vowel sound in foods. Hence pro-SCIUTT’ or mo-za-RELL’. The same thing happened with bologna.
@@waynestrange I’m From Italy, the southern Italian does not have a different pronunciation, it’s only an American and/or Italian/American thing
That is exactly how beef jerky got its name and no one can convince me otherwise 😂 Ryan George is a master of comedy man his jokes are so good
Ryan's French is so much better than mine! I only know the words "oui", "non", and "omelette du fromage."
Dexter got it wrong its omelette au fromage, au is pronounced o
Ryan must have an endlessly ongoing party in his mind. Love it.
