British Slang: INSULTS & childish sayings

[@moderngeek7911]

As a native english speaker, I have to ask myself what I'm doing here

[@Dameitrix-Antenium]

well , there is always something new to learn don't you think?

It's interesting to see what amazingly complex names they give words and phrases that come naturally to us.

[@S.Sarajlic]

Sometimes I prefer sarcasm and I say :"You are a real gentleman".People remain without words.

[@andrijamirkovic5209]

Bravo svaka čast

[@ratnarayamajhi7719]

She has a sweet voice. her style for speaking and technique for teaching is very attractive as well. I clearly understood her speech because she taught in a slow way.

[@fredsalter1915]

"I'm rubber your're glue" is an archaic saying in the US. I don't think any kid would ever nowadays employ that as a defensive comeback here in America. Thanks for the vid!!! EDIT: and "shut your pie hole" is somewhat common in US.

[@jaimerval4253]

i am mexican and this is the best english teacher ever, this was very helpful

[@DaniHMcV]

All these are universal IMO. I heard/hear the same things now in Canada.

[@franciscodiegovidal3913]

Hi Jade! Thanks for the English class. Take care.

[@andreasbaumann9238]

It's mainly Jade's wonderful accent why I'm here!

[@andresmartin266]

I frequently have a look to your lessons, thanks for teaching us how to nurture our English.

[@dripcode2600]

I like this teacher.

[@bnu2b]

I absolutely love your lessons!

[@mariamkinen8036]

I used to read a slang -book n giggle away hard times ....such a lovely accent you've got.

[@libbyfurminger7124]

I love how I haven't heard of half those insults.

[@Caledoriv]

In Germany, there is no "four-eyes", but a commonly used expression referring to people wearing glasses is "die Brillenschlange" - "serpent glasses". I have no idea what's the origin of this expression, though.

[@glucapir]

You are the best teacher ever!

[@abbyhamoymoments8745]

Hello, Jade! Nice to meet you. I'm Abby from the Philippines. I am glad that you let us know about some british insults so that we will know the meaning of each word. If ever God permits me to visit U.K ,at least I have little knowledge about what British Culture is. I hope you could do new video to help us learn more about British language and culture. God bless and More power!

[@Branman345]

I used a lot of these slang words as a kid. I love these slang words.

[@concursos001]

We use some of those in spain as well, for example in spain "get lost" would be "pierdete", "four-eyes" would be "cuatro ojos" and the rubber/glue one would be kinda like "rebota rebota y en tu culo explota"

[@ACWW7]

Igual en México xD, la última me gustó ja, ja...

[@PILIF1983]

In Romania we also call the "four-eyes" "aragaz cu patru ochi" which means "four-eyes stove " :)

[@eckbertwickleberry4911]

c'est superbe.

[@juncheng992]

In China, We say four eyes as well

[@lflee]

Hong Kong Cantonese - 閘住, 反彈, 冇回頭

[@elgato8090]

Love your videos, and have only see two/three. Definitely gonna stick for me :)

[@PatrickRecordon]

Always a pleasure to learn from your vids! Thanks

[@lanasermola5985]

Best regards from Russia, I adore your lessons and previous podcasts... You are great! Very useful and a bit unexpected but very true to life.... Keep doing that, you are one of the best teachers I ever know..... Russia love you!

[@ЕвгенийБойко-э9ь]

Да, Джейд хороша 👍

[@bnu2b]

Поддерживаю)

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

Hello Jade, I so much love your channel. Your teaching style is simply amazing. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 Thank you. Merci.

[@naircastro7089]

So funny!Here in Argentina we also use the four eyes cuatro ojos

[@richardhoward4592]

I love these videos, it takes me back to my childhood

[@VitorLucas94]

Good expressions! In Portuguese we also use to say some of those. ;)

[@franciscagalleguillos3766]

Aww sometimes kids can be pretty mean. I read an article about eastern and western education and they talked about the "try hard" situation. People on western culture say if you are smart you can succed, no need to effort. That leads to think about "winners" and "losers", because it means you born with some skills. But people of the eastern (chinese, japanese, etc.) who do big efforts to improve are congratulated. And you see, they can be really good. Sorry if my english is not so good, I came here to study. I'm trying hard (haha).

[@neyabreu]

Great video Jade. Here in Brazil we have a similar expression for "four-eyes " in portuguese "quatro-olhos" - "Quatro" - four and "olhos" - eyes.

[@DMSouzaS]

in portuguese(brazil) "four-eyes" we say " quatro olho" too

[@39thala]

Americans also use the word "Weirdo" In fact, they have for a very long time. Also, "four-eyes" has been in America for quite awhile. As for loser, loner, sad, cat's got your tongue, liar liar pants on fire, see you later alligator, after awhile crocodile" etc, yeah America uses those as well. We usually say "shut your pie hole".

[@nandoxsp]

Practically a bullying manual. But pretty useful. Thank you very much by the lesson. I've learned a lots of things today. At least. I will know what to say for my kids to defend themselves when they get into school.

[@jimanhwang5988]

Jade you are so charming ! From a South Korean.

[@Camboninja94]

At 5:00 in the US alot of people used to say and still say "Don't get your panties in a bunch."

[@Moerges]

Wow, you're good at drawing (cup)cakes fast! :D Thanks for another fun and useful lesson-had never heard 'div' and 'do one!' before.

[@rafro007]

'S a bit dodgy, in' it?? I love British English. I love British soccer (football) announcers, too. They use such superlative language and it makes it so delightful to watch with someone really good at it as a commentator.

[@Totrick]

you shall watch British movie Football Factory starring Danny Dyer

[@vaquita58]

This is amazing. I loved the 'your mom!' (Not that i'm going to use it tho xD but this is interesting). From where I'm from, Argentina, we say the same: 'tu vieja!' Which means your old lady. that's how some people call their mums or 'tu viejo!' For fathers. It might sound rude saying it in english but its so common moms and dads don't feel disrespected at all :)

[@luciavideira2142]

También usamos el 'tu madre/ vieja/ mamá' para desmentir al otro, asi que tambien funciona como insulto o descalificativo dependiendo el contexto.

[@kathyyuno299]

+Mel Lescano in Poland we say "Twoja stara" or "Twoja matka", both sentences mean "your mum", but it's abusive (polish people don't like when somebody insults their parents, we dont even joke about it). Instead of those sentences we use "kurwa" a lot.

[@shannontang8610]

Thank u for ur lesson 😀👍🏼

[@joyceslp]

Lots of the phrases are used in Australia too... "Your mum" We say it in Chinese too back when I was at school. Even in China, a country that values diligence so much, those who work hard still will be laughed at... Back then I wasn't a good student. I laughed at people who worked harder than me but achieved worse grades than me... I was really mean...

[@richardjeffery517]

The latest slang word I heard was,,roadcone,,meaning a girl that sleeps around

[@marthabii1507]

cool, thanks a lot Jade!!

[@carostephanj]

4 eyes is also common in Ecuador 4 ojos.

[@BostonBobby1961]

Here in Boston insults usually accompany curse words too. We swear a lot.

[@jamesdoy63]

Beautiful teacher '''

[@illdoitlater4208]

This really made me see southern notations British routes...roots?

[@Unbox_the_boxes]

Best class 😂🤣 and also those rhyming lines at last😝😍

[@maurowws]

Huahua. Pretty entertaining this video. Adn this new expression easy peasy... is much more interesting and colourful than easy as pie or a piece of cake , which are so cliche and overused. Thx for the lesson. :)

[@julioabbadie9828]

Thanks for updating the english language julio teacher cheers!

[@haythmelgabry5622]

You are so good jade i like your english

[@nikolaospeterson2495]

One or two expressions like 'Shut your gob' is also used in Staya, and some are even believe it or not actually American!

[@paulafreire8141]

I do like your accent! Congratulations! Thanks!

[@chinoparatodo]

ive got a question for you teacher.when you were elaborating on an expression you said “you wouldn't get away with it in high shcool” what do you mean by saying that ？？ thanks

[@albertotusmuertos3743]

I think she means you shouldn´t say that in high school because it is an expression for little children so in high school people could have fun of you if you use it. It´s good for little kids but not for teenagers.

[@aucourant9998]

"You wouldn't get away with it" means "you would be unsuccessful", or "You would be criticised for it", or "You would fail if you did it", or "You would look bad for doing it".

[@Mathelite-ii4hd]

hey...how's it going?i am a new subscriber and i found your channel really helpful and splendid...keep it up...:)

[@naushadmohamed1596]

easy peasy lemon squeezy Jad ur so sweet . thanks

[@lanasermola5985]

I think in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" I came across a phrase "Easy, peasy, Japanesy"

[@dsprocessing]

Thank you Jade. You are so cute!!

[@sarmadshaikh2029]

jade i watch your videos quite often but earlier you had subtitles at the bottom of your videos earlier but these days i don't so please do something to put that back again.

[@FirstADJokes]

What is your other channel? Please post a link

[@toriqulislamkhanbyron3156]

i wish i could use them in my upcoming speaking test. LOL!

[@JorgeGaleano1987]

Here in Argentina, teenagers and immature people still uses "Your mom" (Tu mamá) when they don't have nothing to say or just to annoy the speaker.

[@nnooooooooooob]

Just like in Poland. "Twoja stara" which means: "your (old) mother", but in more offensive way.

[@JonathanJumper]

Jorge Galeano Your mom!

[@JorgeGaleano1987]

Jumper Your mom too

[@MrCappedro]

I would appreciate if you Jade, or anyone, could explain and clarify the expession "Do one". I'm afraid I haven't caught well the point of that!!! Thank you so much.

[@MrCappedro]

Sorry. Is that what "Do one" means? Thanks in advance!!! ;-)

[@MrCappedro]

Thank you so much!!! ;-)

[@lifefixer]

Good one ,keep up the good work

[@shahbazmalik3465]

Ma'm your method of teaching is best and you look very beautiful

[@rvrmn2682]

There was this kid at my school the kids were so mean to him. He had to wear a hearing-aid, and they called him 'three-ears'.

[@Thunderer0872]

A try hard is something I have heard more recently in gaming online, ''He/she's A try hard killing everyone's character in the lobby with that Jet plane!'' on GTA or Call of Duty, as far back as 2008 when I started playing GTA at 28 it was a Try Hard that used to follow you around the map trying to repeatedly kill your character over and over. we used to play GTA 4 based on a small New York proxy, we used to hold down Liberty Island with the statue of Liberty well the game version anyway, we'd spend hours repelling the Try Hard's coming at us again and again. then they would get a kill if we ventured off the island and then start saying we were trash as they killed us once, where as we had killed their character 20 time already!

[@miguelcouto6833]

"Your Mum" are still used here in Brazil, for teenagers and some adults sometimes like: "Tua mãe!" same for "Has cat got your tongue?" we have our brazilian version for that too!

[@kittymorales6651]

Born a ginger I found ginger minger hilarious!🤣 My daughter teases me and calls me a Weasley (from Harry Potter)😂 As I got older my hair changed to Auburn. Thanks for a laugh. 😁

[@sherrydevera3262]

great lessons,thank you!!

[@angelofheaven71]

Just calling redheads "Gingers" is still common too. And because I am a redhead, it was common for me to be called that a lot, as well as " Ginger Loner".. Usually because the only friends I had were my soccer/ English football team.

[@turn_theory]

4:35 "That could be your gob, that could be your trap, or it could be your cake hole. In goes the cake cause you got a big mouth." I am dead. Jade, you're hilarious.

[@HeTurnsHimselfIntoAPickle]

Lmao, she's back. I mean, I'm just late because it's not in my recommendation

[@SasayakiYuki]

I used to study English at the uni and there was this one lecturer (who generally acted a bit... gay-ish; I don't use it as an insult so please, don't hate me) who would say 'easy, peasy, lemon squeezy' all the time with that weird manner - as if he was talking to kids and not people in their 20s

[@GreatestAndGreatest]

Great lesson!!!!!

[@sandeephansdak314]

....and!....."sleazy, teasy, absolutely wheezy?!.. "....."whether or no!!!"... 😁

[@marcelojaramillo7254]

Love your pronounciation, one question though. Wouldn't it be correct saying "a four-eye person" ? I mean, because of the structure you used.

[@MizzAugust7]

When people were very rude, I used to say (Im a Floridian in Florida ) YOU MUST BE FROM -NEW YORK !

[@ocean3838]

thanks so much... when english person starting swearing at me by using slang words. I just smile because, I don't have any clue to say...

[@ahmedbighouse2949]

Funny. I like it

[@shinyshinythings]

Is “do one” from “do a runner”?

[@PenisMcWhirtar]

In my experience, "do one" is to literally... 👁 👁 👄 sh*t one's pants

[@prs-fl3sp]

Very nice

[@e.vazquez124]

"Four eyes" it's the same in spanish... and... "Has cat got your tongue"?, in spanish (Mexico) we say something like "Did mouse eat your tongue?."

[@leslieyancey5084]

A lot of these are the same in the U.S., too. A "try hard" would be called a "nerd" or "geek" here. "Don't get your panties in a wad" is a common saying here as well.

[@collinslfc]

Leslie Yancey As a Brit, I haven't really heard anybody say the term "try-hard' before. We do occasionally use the term 'geek' but usually we would use the term 'swot'. Which is just another word for a geek.

[@حارةاليوتيوب-ذ7ش]

:))) i can't with this lesson soo funny and good .. but i'm not sure that i can use it surround here .. maybe "you're mum" "has cat got your tongue " "get lost" and "for eyes" due we actually use it here in Saudi Arabia :)

[@shoelshami]

I love u jade as my teacher ohh you already are :)

[@eslamkhairat9819]

Jade looks like she's Alex turner's sister, I swear. That's so cool!

[@maurowws]

Huahua. Use it all in moderation :) Drink responsibly and curse responsibily too. :) These lessons are great, really. I don't really like Eng Vids but this teacher is spontaneous and natural and amusing in a cool way. What I like most about Jade's lessons is that all the examples and expressions are taken from real English --- and I suppose she uses her own experience and life as the source for the material. And that adds a lot to these entertaining videos. Thx a lot, Jade. Pls keep up the good work. C u l8er allig8er. In a Yle Crocodile. ....................................................................................................................................................................................

What the hell was that?7:36

[@ErnestLebedev]

Deus Grande Jade won flawlessly, you dizzy nun! D:

[@nataliemolena]

+Ernest Lebedev (MathObsessed) Actually I'm pretty sure it says 'flawless victory' if you listen again

[@HarryTchong]

Something which leads me to think that Jade may play video games and especially fighting games.

[@fazdur]

thank you so much

[@racingtheweb]

"four eyes " is common in Italy too. In italian is "quattr'occhi", Lol

[@nilderkarpegiane]

Four eyes is commom in Brazil too. Here is "quatro olhos".

[@johnsteven001]

Common in spanish too, in Chile, 'cuatro ojos' literally 'four eyes'.

[@nadinkaz7]

in Russia we use "очкарик"(ochkarik) in the meaning of "a funny person with ridiculous glasses on his/her nose, but extremely smart" :) never heard "4-eyes" as an insult here :) The word "четырехглазка"(chetyrekhglazka) which literally means "four eyes" (female) could be used as a mocking, but sweet nickname for a beloved one wearing glasses - if said with warmth and tender intonation, it could show his huge love for her totally with all her merits and defects :)

[@lam1991hahaha]

Same in Cantonese, it's 四眼(sei ngaan),which literally means four eyes as well.

[@Ha-gw9hg]

Common in Vietnamese too, its "bốn mắt" :) LOL

[@houtansiasi6349]

Dodger, is also the name of one of the characters in Oliver Twist .....

[@JoseChemparathy]

When she explains,her sound after the middle of a sentence is lowered below the audible range

[@semsems218]

What about 'little get','embasil', you say 'whaever' instead of 'whatever' no t :) and ' haad' instead of 'hard' no R . Thank you, a nice one

[@reconnect3342]

Thanks

[@DaniHMcV]

Window-licker is a really insulting thing for a kid to say. Or if someone says "I'm special" in a chuffed way, someone else would say "yeah, in a short bus way". That one is probably the most unkind thing to say, especially nowadays. I doubt kids say it anymore now.

[@danieleu5818]

Can i know what is the difference between Day,Die and Mate,Made in British English? I am from Malaysia.

[@danieleu5818]

i want to know how the British say.

[@Jack78fr]

Would other native British speakers know other phrases to tell my students in classe such as ´has cat get your tongue’ or ´easy Peasy lemon squeezy’? Thanks for your replies.

[@amalamal628]

I couldn't read those words that r written in the blue colour. Would u mind posting them here, please?

[@5621346]

Im a rubber you are glue whatever you say bounces off of me and stick to you!

[@S.Sarajlic]

I think you are colorblind,without offence.

[@amalamal628]

S. Sarajlić no I'm not color blind but I think her handwriting must be clearer than this

[@amalamal628]

Paulo Yun Cha tyvm..

[@amalamal628]

S. Sarajlić +S. Sarajlić tyvm...I can see what she writes all, but I mean her hand-writing must be clearer than this...some words are unclear, it's not because I can't see them! but because they are new or unfamiliar words to me,, like the word "bounces" I thought it was "because"..

[@oliverjesu5]

Brazilian kids say "quatro olhos" for "four eyes" and "sua mãe!" for "your mum!". We also say: "O gato comeu sua língua?" that is very similar to "Has cat got your tongue?" lol

[@alefantozzi2774]

Jade wins! Flawless victory... Hahahaha
