We definitely say "rank" and "bonkers" in the US but not often. It's like silly slang to use with friends. Also "blokes" and "blimey" are words we know of but don't use. We hear it when we watch shows with Brits in them. Or when we watch BBC America and such. That's how a lot of Americans know British words/slang. But also, a lot of the words in these videos are words that we also use in the states but Christina just may not have heard of them because of where she's from (or she just hasn't heard them much in general). - a native Floridian

"Ting", "chirpsing" aren't British words but Jamaican imports. Vast majority of indigenous Brits don't use them.

[@billruddock]

Have never heard "chirpsing" or "ting" in Britain. FYI: the full version of "Barney" would be "Barney Rubble". Cockney rhyming slang was all about having a rhyming phrase but omitting the second part in usage. That way the meaning is secret from people that don't know the slang (secret language).

I have occasionally heard "bonkers" and "rank,' meaning putrid or foul-smelling, in this country. Although Cab Calloway sang, "she messed around with a bloke named Smokey" in his hit song "Minnie the Moocher," I have never heard any other Americans use the word 'bloke."

For those interested the reason, Barney is also cockney rhyming slang is because the original term is Barney Rubble = trouble. Hence barney

[@nathanspeed9683]

I find myself using Blimey a lot these days. I think I got it from watching too many episodes of old late 1970’s British tv show Mind Your Language on KZbin!

[@mikeynavarro]

I believe the American equivalent to chirpsing is to “Holler (holla) at a girl” but this may be Jersey/NY slang

[@gregmuon]

Must be. Never heard that. In California we'd say "chat up" or "chatting up" a girl.

[@JiJi-yg9op]

We say Holla too, I’m from Alabama

[@tommy_clayton]

maybe you can bring to the show mexican for example and spanish to see difference in their languages as well

[@OneTrueScotsman]

I don't know who compiled this list, but a few mistakes, like "Barney". It's "Barmy". And "Ting", "chirpsing" are rarely used. Maybe very local to some migrant communities in London. Most Brits would say "Bird" and "chatting up" instead.

[@jinxvrs]

Two different words - "Barmy" means mad in a sort of fun way, such as England cricket fans aka the "Barmy Army". A "Barney" refers to a bit of trouble (fisticuffs or a heated argument), from rhyming slang "Barney Rubble".

[@StuartSimon]

Bloke is in the lyrics to Chim Chim Cher-ee.

[@Regular_Decorated_Emergency]

Although "bonkers" initially was a word exclusively found in British English, the slang, with help from pop culture, crept its way into American English and is common in the US today.

Chripsing- chatting her up. That's how I interpreted it

[@lunayoshi]

In the 1990s, we Americans had an animated TV show called "Bonkers" which was about a very cartoony bobcat cop doing cop things with a human in Toon Town from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I was only, like, 9, when it came out, but even then I knew that "bonkers" was a term for crazy, so the term has made its way into America a bit.

[@JiJi-yg9op]

Yes, I loved Bonkers!

[@junkybabes]

Barney Rubble = trouble

[@michaelmachupa3854]

Ting originally came from her Caribbean dialects. They drop the th in thing and pronounce is a ting. It became slang

Bonkers isn't unique to Britain. It's used in the US too, just maybe not as often. Same with rank. Americans definitely use it.

[@jaymann627]

Christina needs to be in a movie or TV show. Obviously, she's pretty, but she really has the look and feel for the screen. She's due to be discovered. For that matter, I think Lauren, personality wise and her kind, natural demeanor and lovely eyes also works. These two work well together and have good chemistry in these short KZbin videos, so yeh, it'd be cool to see them in a full length film or mainstream TV production.
