I once spoke to a bunch of brits whilst on vacation, and according to them you can basically take any word and add -ed after it, and it means you're drunk. e.g. Beached, Whaled, Floored, Shelved, Tarmaked etc. etc. It all is a metaphor for being drunk :P
GarageSeller well tbf , when I did my GCSE’s this time last year , half of mine were A* - G( and u) and then my main ones were 9-1, I know that from this year onwards they’re all 9-1

Justine hurts my brain when he's trying to explain something to her and make it really obvs to what he was going on about and ignores what he was talking about
You’re describing what it’s like to be foreign in a new country. When you learn a language you take the words people say at face value. So when you learn the word “bollocks” and then hear a phrase like “the dog’s bollocks” it’s incredibly confusing because of how separated the phrase is from the words used.
Why do I wanna watch another accent challenge and have one of the accents a brummy (I think that's the right word 😂) accent just to see if Jack can do it idk 😂
One of my favorite bits of British slang, that we don't have in America, is "swings and roundabouts." The closest thing we have to that is, "you win some, you lose some." iJustine's pronunciation is probably a regional thing. People I've met usually say "jag-war," two syllables, we skip the U. Some fans of Top Gear will probably pronounce it as you do. She also added an unnecessary D to drowning something I used to hear other kids say when I was young. I love what Michael McIntyre said about how basically any word can sound like you mean drunk. "I went out last night and got utterly gazebo'd." Also, you didn't do enough Geordie slang, Jack, but I guess a lot of that stuff might be more obvious. 😁
So it didn't morph from "off your trolley" (US) "off one's trolley" (UK) Links to street cars (trams) and ships of the line ( man of war) and " a loose cannon " that rolled on rollers that many called "trolleys" ?
No. Ships' cannons were mounted on trunions, and there's no significance to being off the tram. That just means you're walking. Like, when I get off the bus, it's because I've arrived. There's just no relationship with being drunk.
I saw on iJustine's video that you were saying how your father refers your underpants as knickers. Well in India too we call underpants knickers. I think early Brits used to call it knickers, so the tradition goes on in both countries.
A lot of English speaking Indians use English slang, I had a friend who came over from India and was using terms I thought only we used. So you're spot on there!
The dog’s bollocks comes from the pre-WW2 Meccano construction toy set. It was sold two sizes of boxes, the more expensive being labelled box delux, hence dog’s bollocks, whilst the cheaper set was in the box standard, hence bog standard.
The Necrophillic Newo it’s more general slang southerners don’t really have there own except for rhyming slang and Jack doing Northern slang is just wrong
I get what ye saying it wouldn't make sense jack Whitehall doing northern slang but there's so many "British Slang" videos which just pick off stereotypes then how we actually talk
Meccano building kits years ago had 2 different version, they had a "box standard" and "Box Deluxe" and from that its Bog standard meaning normal and nothing special and dogs bollocks (Box deluxe) which meant the best you could get.
Jack I thought you were lovely from the start of your comedy career but I didn’t realise you were upper class! I just thought you were a nice polite boy and your mum and dad were strict. When you were calling your parents mummy and daddy it still didn’t register. Hahaha it registers now. You are a god.
Knuckle sandwich is something anyone over 40 in America would know for sure, probably a lot of people overall. Gobsmacked is somewhat known, Kerfuffle as well. Plastered is a household word.
Yo, I’m an Aussie, and I understand all the British slang, I guess cause Australia is a British colony. Not one of my American friends understands the British accent, but I do. Perfectly
But was not used in the way everyone seems to think it was. You wouldn't say the word that rhymed, because that would make it obvious, so you'd say 'I went up the apples'. A popular example is 'blowing a raspberry'. The full version is 'blowing a raspberry tart', so farting.
I have the answer for the phrase "The Dogs Bollocks" if anyone is interested. It came from the old Meccano sets in the 1930s (re American Erector Set) the "Box Standard" became "Bog Standard" and the "Box Deluxe" became "The Dogs Bollocks". You're welcome :D
These are mild compared to some ones from here up north. Some of ours would really spin her out. All of these slang words sound far too posh when Jack is saying them. lol
The dog's bollocks most likely comes from when meccano had 2 standards of sets. The box-deluxe and the box-standard. You can spoonerise box-deluxe to dox-beluxe which sounds like dog's bollocks. It is also supposed to be where bog-standard comes from. QI knowledge FTW!
I’m English and I have never heard of the majority of these slang words, then again I don’t use much slang. I don’t know if this is to do with the north of England, however when I use the word kafuffle it tends to be when something is a struggle, for example I was trying to put the lid of a pen back on and it wouldn’t go on, that is what I might call a kafuffle.
litterly every single video about england on any media outlet is normally about london which tbh shows the divide between london and everywhere else, shows a divide in class, shows a dived in morals and a divide in genral about nearly every aspect of tbe way we should live. Don't think this light hearted video was ment to highlight these issuses but it does show how much people actually think different in such a small space (uk). aswell as showing how much london think of them self as england rather than a part of england.
Ashley James Cant ooooor, here's a funny thought, it just might be because countries outside of the UK think of London when thinking of the UK? All countries are victim to stereotypes. Even you've probably perpetrated a few of them, before now. Not some grand scheme to do with class and divide. :/ It's not that deep, man.
The dogs bollocks originates from Mechano strangely. Mechano used to sell two kits, Standard and Box Delux. Of course Box Delux was the best one and was the best present to receive. Box Delux evolved into Dogs Bollocks out of typical English wordplay.
“This is an education”... some would say a “Bad Education” 😉
Gilanes haha, bad education is so funny
Get out

iJustine lol just finished watching the other video and saw this and im like "OHHHH THATS WHAT SHE MENT" XD
The dogs bollocks is like the bees knees
A crossover no one asked for but got. A+ Jack loved it
Grades in England are 1-9, 1 being the lowest, so you're wrong
GarageSeller well tbf , when I did my GCSE’s this time last year , half of mine were A* - G( and u) and then my main ones were 9-1, I know that from this year onwards they’re all 9-1
Well anyway, A+ doesn't exist in england
*JAG-YOU-AR*
No, you are!
no *JAG-YOU-EH*
Sam Jones is a cat from American.. yall say it wrong
HBC423 what are you trying to say wtf
What I presume that HBC423 meant to say is that the Jaguar, the species of cat which your vehicle brand is named for, is a Big Cat from the American continents. So apparently, Brits are pronouncing Jaguar the wrong way. I don't believe it truly matters, I just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding here.
Justine hurts my brain when he's trying to explain something to her and make it really obvs to what he was going on about and ignores what he was talking about
Is she alright? Jack would literallt explain exactly what the slang term means and she'd still use it wrongly and not understand it, lol.
Matt she's blonde. What do you expect :p

She’s American
@@flyboy970 so stop stereotyping
Great video Jack! As a fellow Brit this was so enjoyable to watch you teach someone our slang XD
before this video i could pronounce jaguar correctly but after listening to both of you there is no way i will able to ever say it
"James blunt"
Justine - "I love James blunt* hahaha
"The Dog's Bullocks" is equiv. to "the cat's meow" or "the bee's knees" lol
Das hundes hoden...
Dumm gelaufen!
Bollocks* and we’d say ‘the cat’s pajamas’
The dogs bollocks-amaze balls
Jack & iJustine together is what I live for!!! I’M SHOOK!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
No you’re gobsmacked
*gobsmacked
Why do I wanna watch another accent challenge and have one of the accents a brummy (I think that's the right word 😂) accent just to see if Jack can do it idk 😂
finally a British slang video that has phases we actually use!
Jack; pull not pole
Her: 3minutes later OHHH pulll.
Jack 100% fancies her
CmdrTobs he’s just not married is he
Sandy Gorton who doesn’t
nah they broke up man and they were never married
Don Hole She's alright, not amazing though. And she'd get way too annoying after about an hour lol
Who wouldn’t fancy her. She’s a stunner
You don’t realise how strange British slang is until you try and explain it to someone who doesn’t know any British slang 😂😂
iJustine just has that voice that can be put on every female character animation
Cheesy white disney girl characters
You should have done a naughty edition ✌️
as you were
LGx
I
Biblical
Did you not get the "James Blunt" reference?! That's about as naughty as you can get with a word!!
The dog's bollocks is a rather rude corruption of earlier expressions 'the cat's whiskers', or 'the bee's knees'.

I have never heard that in my English life... But then again I am a northerner so we unlike the southerners have a grip on reality
@@Aj-xt4cw I've heard of it down here (in the South) but no one really uses it anymore.
Love Jack Whitehall 💖
Who doesn't
Trollied obviously refers to the popular teenage drunk pastime of stealing a shopping trolley (shopping cart) and giving each other rides in it.
So it didn't morph from "off your trolley" (US) "off one's trolley" (UK) Links to street cars (trams) and ships of the line ( man of war) and " a loose cannon " that rolled on rollers that many called "trolleys" ?

You're right, knickers originally was just another word for underpants but at some point generally became more specific to female pants.
My brain is having a hard time connecting all of those cultural circles
3:12 “I am famously posh... “. Lol did fencing at school
you can put -ed at the end of every word and it means drunk
I'm gonna get hairdryed tonight.
We're so radiated.

You two had a lot of chemistry!
nothing says chemistry like a littany of jump cuts
Half of these are used in the US too (or are at least understood)..."Gobsmacked", "Kerfuffle", "Sloshed".

Now, this was worth watching, they are flirting the entire time, so sweet.
It's because of "it's the bee knees"..

Loved it when he said ‘just thought of one...James Blunt’ 😋👍
Here's a quick tip, if your doing this you have a 50/50 chance of it being drunk.
They look so good together 🤩🤩🤩
Cockney slang was so the old bill (police) didn't understand what they was saying and any rival mobs (gangs)
But was not used in the way everyone seems to think it was. You wouldn't say the word that rhymed, because that would make it obvious, so you'd say 'I went up the apples'. A popular example is 'blowing a raspberry'. The full version is 'blowing a raspberry tart', so farting.
but when would talking about stairs ever get you arrested?

Never really realised this before but especially in this video Jack really reminded me of Tom Harlock (mainly the way he spoke)
jack whitehall is literally the best
