Hi there.
I'm Freddie Highmore.
I am British and this is British slang with me thinking.
I mean, I've heard people say painting.
I don't usually say painting myself, nor have I ever been called painting.
I think it's attractive in some way, usually probably females.
But, you know, if someone said painting to me, I guess I say thank you all to part.
It's all gone wrong.
It's really bad.
Not very good at all.
Hot would be toilet in the sense of for a kid.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe it's all depart all to put the gun down the loo.
Meaning just like yeah, yeah, horrible.
It's just bringing dead like that one.
Throwing a wobbly, throwing a wobbly is having a tantrum or having a bit of a moment, Having a moment as another definitely British phrase that we diesel is having a moment.
He's throwing a wobbly kit, a kid, his nap, taking that have a kit dosh.
Dosh is money.
That's this is definitely more used in painting.
Any cash that you've got on you is just a all.
Could you lend me some dosh snog to kiss, kiss someone make out with someone but maybe also like your auntie might say it, you know?
Give me a snog.
It's sort of like I'm not quite sure I want to do that.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, bits and bobs like odd things that you might have around the house or a few things that you need to take care of it.
I owe you busy this afternoon.
I just got a few bits and bobs to take care off bits and bobs is very common.
Yeah, few bits involves.
Does it sound too funny to be used by by Americans?
You should use this one.
Please have a butchers.
I think this one is caught me rhyming slang.
So a butcher's hook being a look.
So you like.
Take a butcher's at something if you're having a look at something.
Courtney Rhyming slang originated in London in the East End on Dhe.
This would be like the perfect example off have a butcher's hook, something that rhymes with hook, and you're replacing it with butcher's hook.
But then often what happens is the actual rhyming word itself ends up being dropped.
So then you're just left with have a butchers, and you're like, how is this cut your own slang, but it is, I promise jamming.
My dad uses this one a lot.
Your jammy You're in luck.
You're really lucky.
And maybe it's just him.
Or maybe everyone usually extends as Jammie Dodger.
We've got this little biscuits, like cookie things in the U.
K.
Do you have them in America?
Maybe not.
And you know you don't know anything on Iraq.
I guess this is one of many items of clothing that Americans don't have or have a different name for.
But it's like a raincoat or ah, Mac, do you have Mac?
We have lots of different names to recoups in the UK I think it's just always raining.
And so we've developed so many different versions.
Gormless.
This is a good one.
I like this word gormless someone who's just a bit You kind of like stare off into space and you don't really have much going for you, and you're a little bit dull and boring.
Sixes and sevens is all over the place if it's a ll going wrong.
Europe, sixes and sevens.
I would definitely use it in a football game at a soccer game like the attacker doing really well and it keeps going loads of goals.
And the defense is just being really, really rubbish.
Then you could say the defense is at sixes and sevens.
They're all over the place.
They don't know what they're doing on your bikes.
Get off with you, like, piss off, go away.
But again, in a jokey way, I think if you're actually angry with someone and having a really argument, you wouldn't end it by screaming at the top of your voice on your bike.
It's kind of like, Oh, come on.
Like, you know, Go away, mate.
Thank you very much for watching this.
Hopefully, this was somewhat useful.
Thank you.
Cheerio.
Bye.
