I know nothing about British slang, but I'm here to teach you British slang. It just means thing. You can say Ting in so many ways you can say it like you know, we do a layout. I got his team to do what you do in your pockets than me saying safe. Just my things, that kind of thing. Useful words Next, fit, fit means you look good. Like your buff buff is another word for good. Now this is a fun one, you know, because I was named Sexiest Man of the Year on DDE. What you could say is interstellar is fit. See what I did there? Chirp sing to chap. Someone is like, If you go into a pub and you see a girl and you like she's nice, you wanna go talkto talking to her is called chaps in in English rhyming slang. We say birds for women. It's not cool at all. That's why is bird on when you talk to a bad you check. So your chaps and a girl my church days are over. Benning What it actually means is that when I'm bending, I'm laughing so hard that I'm bending over that man that you could say like this. Yo, I saw my God the other day. You know, he had me Benning. Adam a little quick history lesson here. So cocky. The word cut me is I would say it's a people that come from an area in east London. That area in east London is defined by the bow bells. The bow bells are church bells that are in both. When they ring. They have, like a three mile radius of their sound. And if you are, we've been that free mile radius. Then you are technically a cop. And now the companies would use slang and they would rhyme words way of other words on dhe. That's that's what caught me, Raimond, Adam and Eve. Believe you could say, I guess May I saw these Purple dragon the other day. I don't I don't believe Adam Barney is Courtney. Rhyming slang for Barney is for trouble. So you say, like, you know, made. There's gonna be some Barney when he comes. You know, if you don't clean this place up becomes um, Barney Rubble, Flintstone character Rubble. Crimes of trouble Shipping. Baked. This is a bit more modern. It's kind of like sand putting yourself out there. It's like you're gonna be embarrassed. That's gonna be bait. You're going into a restaurant and you know, you haven't got your wallet. You could say that is bait in it. It's kind of like getting affirmation, and it comes some eight. It also isn't it? So it's become and it it's obvious, innit? Rare tea. I think Reiter tear means and blah, blah blah. You know, it's kind of like Sand. And then Rhetta, it's like saying there was a lot off Jabba rank. Something is disgusting. It's like Is rank in here? You might say It's like he took off his shoes in the fucking room. It was rank apples and pears. Everyone knows this one. Even the Americans know what going up the apples and pears means basically means apples and pears stairs. So I'm going to go up the apples, meet me up the apples. Big up, big up is just lying. Yep, nice to see a man bigger. It's like hail Hey, like they were doing in Roman times But instead of saying how sounds cooler to say big ups 11 0 s if you've got some 11 0 S is if you've got trainers or for my American friends sneakers that are worth over £110 0 Alan Wickers, Alan Wickers runs of knickers. Okay, knickers. And what? You know what knickers are? Don't get your Alan in a twist, quite funny. She was lovely, but she had no Alan's. I did enjoy the experience. I learned a few things. I hope you did, too. Next thing I think I will do is go back to the bow bells on Dhe, renew my colony license and just get there with slang. I wish you the best on his one for you. This show was the dog's bollocks.
