Pepper mill is a cylindrical object that you put in ungrounded peppers in, then turn it so the pepper comes out grounded down to flakes. Hope that helped. Google could probably help you more. Lol

@@memoray_ But then all wanted to be posh and used posh words. I think this went to the mid 1980s, who remembers the "Official Sloane Ranger Handbook"?
Ironically, she isn't actually all *that* posh, relatively speaking. Not like, say, Stephen Fry. If the Queen is 100% posh and Fry is, say, 90%, Emma is about 75-80%. If she was at some event with a bunch of minor nobility types, she wouldn't be considered on a par, socially, with them whereas he probably would be.
As a Brit I can attest to the accuracy of these definitions, except to add that 'bins' firstly is indeed what we call garbage cans but also, while i'm sure it originated as slang for binoculars, it also extends to glasses/spectacles, which is obviously what makes it more of a household slang term than an obscure one. Also we use 'jolly' as a more whimsical version of 'very', e.g. "I had a jolly good time" or "That banana is jolly large" It can also mean tipsy or 'happy-drunk' or refer to some kind of outing/excursion/holiday, though that one isn't used very much anymore. To expand on "jolly hockey sticks" it describes someone with an unnecessary and cringe-worthy level of enthusiasm or positivity and is similar to another slang term, to be "gung ho" (though it is subtly different and would be used in different circumstances). The origin and demonstration Emma gave is entirely correct though xD
I have never heard of jolly hockey sticks or bins used as slang like that in my life. I'm guessing it's not just posh but very geographic based? And to add to the list that 'jollies' are slang for holidays though tbh I don't know many who actually use a lot of this slang because I'm not 50 😂
@@TheYorkRose Haha, yeah jolly hockey sticks is definitely a posh one but also very outdated - I went to a fancy private girls school where they were pretty serious about playing hockey too, and even there idk if i ever heard someone use it - I think I've only heard it in plays or tv shows when there's a character filling the role of 'stereotypical posh old lady' xD As for 'bins', my dad still uses it so it's much more familiar to me, but in fairness he is 65 so... lol
The fact you used the word stuff emphasises the fact that you use such a restricted language code. Of course you wouldn't use words referenced in said video
What’s sad is I am half swiss and half turkish and i knew all of these.I guess I must thank my boarding school and Cambridge University for teaching me useless slang..
being a brick, might be a good solid person, but bricking it, is the opposite reaction. so a brick would never be bricking it in a situation, because that brick would then be a flake you see. its a very complicated language.
red rosé I understand the use of it for Very, but jolly and beastly wouldn’t sit right in a sentence. Absolutely beastly yes, you wouldn’t say absolutely very beastly. The absolute would render the very unnecessary. Jolly is also used for a someone going off somewhere to have fun.
red rosé no, the point remains absolutely renders jolly (very) unnecessary. You wouldn’t say absolutely jolly beastly. It would still remain absolutely beastly or jolly beastly but not the two together.
@@xPidgexSmithx It's the overkill, isn't it? We like the flourish but we don't like to over-flourish. It's like saying "Peregrine gave the most GORGEOUS bunch of red roses this morning!" as opposed to "Peregrine gave the most DELIGHTFUL, GORGEOUS, FABULOUS, EXQUISITE bunch of red roses this morning!" We get it, you had some pretty flowers as a present. Please stop showboating with our language. Absolutely should only appear in front of the word 'jolly' if it's a sentence in its own right, as in "Absolutely! Jolly good show, old boy!"
Obviously, but are you so posh that you talk about binoculars in regular conversation? Unlikely. I doubt many people are. However, this video was very clearly about “posh slang” not generic British slang.
I’ve lived in the UK for 4 years and didn’t know any of these words 😂 Also can we acknowledge the fact that Emma Thompson is absolutely perfect??? She’s so elegant, witty and beautiful!
'Jolly' means 'very', as in, 'Let's have a jolly good time.' It can also mean to go out and have fun when used as a noun, as in, 'We went off on a jolly.'
You can "go on a jolly". A walk/ adventure... or trip to a few pubs. Also (the fabulous) Emma later describes "brick" as "a good sort". That phrase has another meaning too!
I love Emma Thompson! And I adore her voice and accent. So clean and clear and proper! And there is nothing wrong with a bit of posh! My nephew tells me sometimes that I sound or talk posh occasionally! 😜
Jolly... I use it to describe going on a trip for fun. "I can't attend you're dinner party, we are going on a jolly.. we're off Badminton for the trials" etc.
But like many Brits these days, you talk like an American. Your use of the word "like" as an adverb gives you away. Before 1980, no one outside of California ever used "like" this way.
