Knackered come from the “knacker’s yard’ which is where old worn out (or dead!) horses used to be taken to be disposed of - often parts were melted down for glue. Hence it meaning tired, worn out broken or no further use.

here is a short story using your words "I was absolutely knackered after a long day at work, and all I wanted to do was pop a frozen dinner in the microwave and crash on the sofa. But when I got home, I found out that my flatmates had eaten all my food, and I was gutted. I stormed into the living room and saw Dave, the bloody tosser, sitting on the sofa with a smug grin on his face. "Oi, mate, where's my caramel popcorn?" I demanded. "Sorry, mate, I was proper hungry and couldn't be bothered to go to the shops," Dave replied nonchalantly. I couldn't believe it. "You're taking the piss, aren't you?" I exclaimed. "You've eaten all my chips, mushy peas, and even my HP sauce and piccalilli! What kind of wanker eats piccalilli straight from the jar?" Dave shrugged. "I was out of pickles." I was about to lose my temper when I heard Mrs. Thompson, the curtain twitcher from next door, clearing her throat outside. I took a deep breath and calmed down. "Fine, enjoy your stolen feast, you arse," I muttered as I stomped off to my room. As I sat on my bed, fuming, I thought of a plan to get back at Dave. I would make him eat mushy peas for every meal until he learned his lesson. And this time, I wouldn't be so quick to forgive and forget."

"bloody" depends on it's placement in a sentence to sound effective: "I'm bloody trying to do it" & "I'm gonna bloody keep trying to do it" don't sound as right as: "I'm trying to bloody do it" & I'm gonna keep trying to bloody do it", (or even "I'm gonna keep bloody trying to do it".)

That was great fun. The ultimate use of 'right' is to slap your knees, say, "right, I must be going," and then stay for another twenty minutes.

[@megfreeth4377]

Oh bollocks! Missed the live stream again great vid very funny hearing you use British words. Welcome to being British 😂😂❤

[@vogonpoet5860]

bloody and bleeding are interchangable, " I am bleeding fed up with bloody predictive text over riding all the bleeding time, im bloody knackered". KNACKERED, some one or something thats worn out, derives from the knacker and knackers yard. until relatively recent times, when a horse/pony/donkey died its body would be sent to a knackers yard for "recycling" as glue, chair stuffing, pet food and fertilizer. people being tired would first jokingly the descriptively say "I/Its worn out , fit only for the knackers yard" later shortened to " Im / Its bleeding knackered (or just 'knackered').

[@The_Relaxation_Coach]

I loved this episode! You were having a lot of fun. It made me laugh seeing your reactions to some of our words. I love the fact that you use many of the words in your home x

[@tomsurrey2252]

Knackered also means that your car's engine is 'knackered' etc... lots of uses for this word not just being 'tired.'

[@lynnhamps7052]

Just needed to pop into the comments to say how much I enjoyed that ladies..cheers..and bloody well done. Lol 😊✌👍🇬🇧💖

Gutted = is when your plans fall apart and the results have devastated you. Leaving you gutted. Your soul has been ripped out.

[@VeggieGamer]

Hahaha, the driving teacher's arch nemesis - "Right"! I swear I have been driving with my brother giving me directions and I ask "so it is this left?" and he replies "Right", so naturally I turn right! XD There is a 1980s John Cleese movie called Clockwise that explores the dangers of that! XD

[@elainedee9314]

One thing I have noticed recently, watching US tv and films, is people using the word 'handbag' instead of 'purse'. In the UK we would call something you keep your change in a purse. Also thought that you might like this poem ...... "A Busy Day" by Michael Rosen (1946 - ) Pop in Pop out Pop over the road Pop out for a walk Pop down to the shop Can’t stop Got to pop Got to pop? Pop where? Pop what? Well I’ve got to pop round Pop up Pop into town Pop out and see Pop in for tea Pop down to the shop Can’t stop Got to pop Got to pop? Pop where? Pop what? Well I’ve got to pop in Pop out Pop over the road Pop out for a walk Pop in for a talk

[@rozhunter7645]

Loved the video this morning, it was really fun and I’ll eagerly await part two lol Love ya both ❤️❤️

[@CMOT101]

General rule for Debbie. When you want to emphasise a word, say bloody before it. So its Bloody hell About bloody tine I don't bloody know Its bloody green Etc If it doesn't seem to work add the word well in there to Eg Yes you can bloody well do it Just bloody well think about it And so on.

[@waynemillard1495]

Nackered can be used if something is broken it is nackered.

[@siharries2014]

Not sure if I should mention "curtain twitching" does have a rude meaning in the UK too 😂😂

[@neilpurton4875]

Hi Natasha & Debbie just finished watching the show at 8.05 am and as always was fantastic and really like the way you're getting the hang of our language over here in the UK. Loved this episode. It was absolutely brill and also really bloody funny. P, s, when are you coming to the UK? All the best keep up the good work from Neil in London.

[@jenniferleighmiron8135]

I grew up in London as a child and then moved to Canada, so 'Boody Hell' is one of my swear words 😂

[@Granny_Cat_Lady]

Debbie you need to rephrase it this way “I can’t get this BLOODY word into a sentence” or “I was looking for the BLOODY TV remote” 😂😅😂 I have picked up a few of my late hubby’s phrases, it’s surprising how many phases we can pick up from others - One of his phrases that used to bug me was “Mad as a box of frogs” but now I use it ❤

[@williamsale6093]

Debbie try putting "well" after bloody as in "I bloody well did it" would work for you lol

[@elizabethwilliams5686]

Love your 12 words ,now I am knackered and need to pop to the kitchen to have a cuppa you are both bloody awesome.

[@johnadey3696]

A "knacker" was the man who collected the old and ill farm animals to take to the Abattoir, Bloody was originally a religious curse "By our lady", Arse comes from the Vikings and meant the same thing.

[@tomsurrey2252]

It's said that the word, 'Piccalilli,' comes from when Piccadilly / Eros, roundabout was actually a funfair... where prostitutes', (known as 'dillys'), would hang around so, you'd go to 'pick a dilly).

[@transmission3143]

I'm afraid that's not where it comes from Tom (although I wish it was 😅). In the 17th century when men wore elaborate wigs, the fanciest wig you could get was called a Piccadill. There were certain swanky parts of London where it wasn't the done thing to be seen anything less than dressed to the nines - including your Piccadill - and that area (and street) came to be known as Piccadilly because it was full of, well, posers. (I got this in Antonia Fraser's bio of Charles II btw.)

[@mariehulton5184]

​@@transmission3143is that because the cauliflower in it looks like the wigs, the shorter ones? Or amother reason. Interesting. Thank you.

[@transmission3143]

It's not, the OP is talking about PiccaDilly the street name not PiccaLilli the food.

[@lukewilson2558]

When Debbie says bloody w***er 🤣🤣🤣

[@garyskeels9495]

Looking forward to this one. Much love to you both.

[@tommartin8454]

FYI knackered can also be used to mean something is broken. So "the toaster is knackered".

[@faithpearlgenied-a5517]

Really fun content ❤ was a good laugh. Hopefully you'll have more to do a part 2 soon 😊

[@philipstatham1645]

This is 'bloody' great😂

[@lucylewis9437]

Can't wait to watch this. 😍 love all your videos.

[@brucewilliams4152]

Or from the film Battle of Britain 1966. 'Leave the fighters,it's the bloody bombers we want'!

[@glenmiller272]

I'm ready for the knackers yard!, which is where the word originates from, the 'knacker man' was employed for putting down tired old horses and animals from the farms😢

[@roberthenderson4922]

Natasha, Debbie your list is the dogs Bollocks !!

[@anthonybartlett6924]

posh = port out starboard home, these were the best most expensive cabins on ships so only rich people could afford them.

[@andybaker2456]

So they say, although no one has ever found any actual evidence to support it. It's said that POSH was printed on tickets, but no such tickets have ever been found.

[@anthonybartlett6924]

@@andybaker2456 a lot of slang words where there is no evidence of their entomology but as i have not seen a credible alternative theory ( please enlighten me if you have heard one ) i will give this one the benefit of the doubt. if someone has a credible alternative theory i will re evaluate.

[@kennyjackson1234]

The word "bollocks"is a favourite of us Brits.A load of "bollocks"means a heap of rubbish or crap on the other hand "the dogs bollocks"means something is special or top class.

[@DaveBartlett]

Natasha, you'll be real connoisseur of mushy peas, when you A) use dried peas, that you soak overnight with a steeping tablet (bicarbonate of soda,) then B) slowly boil them in a big pan on the stove, then C) serve them with loads of malt vinegar, preferably (traditionally?) in a mug.

[@paulnewton-qf4ew]

In the South of Devon people call something that is good as proper handsome, pronounced proper han sum.

[@Whippy99]

My dad is a Londoner and he uses handsome all the time. Every day, in fact.

[@Gaznugget]

Omg cannot wait to watch this later when I get home!!! I love your channel so much I hope you both understand how much happiness it gives me to make a nice cup of tea and relax and unwind with one of your videos! Keep up the great work and happy birthday to Debbie coming up she deserves a day of paradise and luxury x take care

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

Thank you so much!!

So, visiting France in the early 1980s, I got talking to some American students in Paris. We were sitting outside a bar and one of them was complaining that she was always cold when they sat outside - it wasn't at all cold out. Another one of them said to her: "You're just nesh" Now, the only place I have heard the word nesh (meaning feeling the cold more than everybody else) in the small are of South/West Yorkshire in which I live. None of the other Americans knew the word, so I asked him if he had Yorkshire connections. He didn't. His family was USA as far back as he knew, but he was aware that his family and nobody else used the word. To this day, I want to know how a very English, regional word made it to a family in the USA

[@roswilkinson4335]

We use nesh all the time in Nottingham.

[@mariehulton5184]

My mum said it a lot, she was from central Machester. BW

[@Dasyurid]

But are you using “knackered” in both senses, for being tired or for things that are broken or not working properly. “Hey, Debbie, the car won’t start.” “Yeah, the bloody battery’s knackered.” “Bloody” is getting there, but you wouldn’t bloody keep trying to use it, you’d keep bloody trying. It’s not an absolute rule but mostly you’d put it before the most important noun or verb. Wherever you can use the word “f*cking” you can substitute “bloody” instead for a much less offensive swear. PS, for an Australian use of “bloody” try “bloody oath”, meaning strong agreement. Aussies often put an “ah” on the front seemingly without realising. “Hey Debbie. The car runs better now with the new battery in.” “Ah, bloody oath it does.”

[@faithpearlgenied-a5517]

Debbie, use 'bloody hell!' as an exclamation, that'll work best IMO 😅
