Gavin's Colourful Dictionary

[@Hermione2286]

Most of these are British but the rest is just Gavin

[@TheHypersniper0812]

Gavinese.

[@lazra4321]

True, some is British slang but some of it is just Gavin making weird sentences that no one says...

[@simbrack1195]

From a British perspective, most of these phrases are pretty common. Still hilarious though aha

[@gforcefilms97]

really? im british and havent heard most of these

[@simbrack1195]

Where are you from? County/ city?

[@gforcefilms97]

buckinghamshire

[@simbrack1195]

You must be far too posh then ;D

[@gforcefilms97]

not at all no one is posh here. its chav city

[@Windrunner007]

For the record, "prod" is absolutely a real word.

[@dasgras02]

Not only is it a real word, but the game calls the attack that, not Gavin per se.

[@Zman44444]

Same thing it’s knob!

[@TheZINGularity]

A whole lot of these are real words, endo, pleb, etc

[@Reyeyawn]

@@Zman44444*as knob

[@LethalChicken77]

Not the way he used it lmao

[@assistantmagus5213]

"Bugger all" is an incredibly common phrase for "none"

[@HiIeric117]

thatguyyousawinasda Why is "dog's bollocks" used to denote something good?

[@westminsterabbey.6916]

HiIeric117 no fucking clue, I've been asking myself that question for most of my life, still haven't got an answer

[@Ckringe]

thatguyyousawinasda nice kill la kill profile pic

[@georgehh2574]

HiIeric117 No idea

[@sjhhej]

"Why is "dog's bollocks" used to denote something good?" The real answer is, nobody knows. But as an aside, note that "dog's bollocks" can also be phrased as, "dog's cods", "canine's cahones", "woofer's plums", "mutt's nuts", "hound's testicules", etc. Welcome to England. I have this theory that we've been using our language so long that we have to do this with it to avoid boredom and malaise setting in.

[@AurtleTheTurtle]

Okay, "Shotty too Hotty" was a reference to Scotty too Hotty, the wrestler. Gavin didn't just say it randomly.

[@krazyj2010]

Aurtle The Turtle i was going to say the same thing lol.

[@LouSevijina]

TURN IT UP!

[@CatherineCane]

these are pretty normal british words, but it's so funny seeing all these american reactions XD

[@Kita-ot5py]

I love how Michael says "Speak English, this is America" to an English person. XD

[@imbuggin]

+Kita Yeah, he was... you know... joking.

[@RockZombieIAm]

HE DOESN'T SPEAK A REAL LANGUAGE, HE SPEAKS GAVIN IT SUCKS!

[@RedZenon117]

+imbuggin And it was a funny joke... For the reason stated by Kita...

[@squibboparker1926]

+Moana some of these are actual English phrases

[@danteraptor]

Let's go out and have a "gaff"

[@marys.9367]

Prod is absolutely a real word.

[@marys.9367]

+Mary DaGreat also, I think what Gavin meant when he said 'stick the dam together', he meant damn, as descriptive swearing.

[@PK-qo1ww]

Absolute le

[@TacticalSandals]

+Mary S. apparently he has never encountered a cattle prod.

[@DragonHeroBlaze]

+Mary S. Name of the weapon in Worms where you poke is called "Prod" as well.

[@marys.9367]

Yeah, it's sort of a weird one to put on the list.

[@crayzeefool]

Most of these are common British slang words. Also, the description claims Gavin created the word Sausage....

[@nannygreb1844]

Yeah that one really miffed me

[@CodeOssyria]

That gaffed my gob

[@kxhunter88]

+Disco Crisis It's the context in which he uses it, not the word itself. Gavin attributes his own meaning to the word, like it's a way of measuring something

[@onesaucdragon]

+kxhunter88 Depends on whose sausage it is.

[@SomeoneJr]

no

[@irisclaudia3965]

Does anyone else completely understand what he is saying?

[@ethanquirk28]

Yep

[@ethanquirk28]

RandomExplosions No need...

[@Mike-ds4ht]

Feliciana Vargas I don't think anyone misunderstands what he's saying.

[@irisclaudia3965]

well to the rest of the crew most of what he is saying is like another language. My family is from Ireland so I understand his sayings.

[@ethanquirk28]

Feliciana Vargas I don't get that, you have relatives from a country near the country Gavin is from (which has completely different accents and slangs btw) so this somehow means that you know what he means??? that explanation is just bad...

[@swetypalms]

Endo is actually a bike trick. just saying ....

[@Beltran15x]

I know right? Gotta separate the "weird words" from the "I'm not educated about it" words.

[@ArduousNature]

Endo is so uncommon it is wierd by definition. I've lived in England my whole life and that's the first time I heard it.

[@georgehh2574]

Yani Mouserkotis Same with me , I've never heard it before

[@stevenmadethis2383]

I only know that from Tony Hawks American Wasteland

[@NeoTheory]

Did any of you even own a bike as a kid?

[@philbateman1989]

Maybe it's just a British thing, but nothing about what Gavin says sounds weird to me XD

[@Happilywanderin]

["constipated yell"]

[@philbateman1989]

***** lol I think it's something to do with onomatopoeia and it's use in British English. For example, he uses the word "flumped". It's not a legitimate word, but the sound of it, to me anyway, indicated what he means, "flump" is descriptive of the sound a person makes when they flop to the ground. Even more complex ones, like "gumpy little geck", are complete gibberish, but to a British person, it's a kind of gibberish that still implies something. The phrase just sounds like an insult. "Gumpy" doesn't mean anything, but the sound of it implies stupidity or ineptitude. "Geck" has a sharpness to it that implies malice, like calling someone a dick, even though "geck" is not a word. I could, for example, call another British person a "flimble wibbler", and even though it's complete gibberish, any other British person would likely agree that I'm implying that they are feeble, cowardly, or calling them a paedophile or "wanker". It just sounds like that is what it should mean. English is a very versatile language :P

[@Happilywanderin]

Yella Dart Holy hell write a novel why dont ya. Yeah he sounds British while doing it but I meant to point out sometimes he just makes noise. hilarious either way :)

[@Ailumer]

yep

[@canaryyell0w1]

Yeah, I'm more confused by other people finding the words weird.

[@joelockwood1029]

I was born and raised in London so I understand everything he says.

[@navy__8430]

I'm from the west Midlands so I know most of the things he's saying too.

[@BeansJar]

Aaron McNally If you was from the East Midlands you'd understand slightly more!

[@Starweardo]

+Wiggles I'm from Germany and even I understand most of these.

[@BeansJar]

Starweardo Nice!

[@Starweardo]

***** I gotta say, that is one fast-ass response.

[@harrykellett2061]

Pleb is a real word, look it up.

[@SPMFlLMS1]

Harry Kellett Endo is to

[@matthewjones2113]

+Harry Kellett pleb is short for plebian which is what Roman commoners were called.

[@danielbeaman6260]

Plebeian is, pleb is the slang of plebeian

[@sjhhej]

Also, Plebs...awesome...www.imdb.com/title/tt2731624/

[@Warillusen]

Endo is slang now, even though it's a trick. Think this is just a list of words you don't understand.

[@rockinthecazbah4]

Seriously. Plebs is internet slang. And "like a chump", like seriously?

[@thecodemonkey7100]

Krispy pleb is just short for plebeian

[@rockinthecazbah4]

The Code Monkey I understand that, it's just not something that Gavin made up.

[@poolmaster18]

i like how michael said speak ENGLISH this is America

[@eas26]

yeah thats the joke fuckhead.

[@DS3Enjoyer]

No Michael's just ignorant

[@breakjack8198]

No, that was genuinly a joke, and a pretty obvious one at that.

[@alexbanks8429]

EpicEric92 No, Michael is from Jersey. There's a big difference between not knowing and not giving a fack.

[@DS3Enjoyer]

Well most people from Jersey are pretty dumb. You seen the Jersey Shore?

[@OneOnOne1162]

Prod isn't even a British slang word though... I think. And endo is slang referring to biking tricks.

[@rebeccabennett5921]

OneOnOne1162 it also means "within" for medical terminology.

[@Mechakitty]

+OneOnOne1162 Chump isn't British slang either

[@TheCrush40Fan2313]

I think an endo is specifically a sort of manual move that's on the front wheel instead of the back wheel. Might be incorrect.

[@challllrie]

+MechaKitty yes it fucking well is mate, plod on!

[@SC4newbie100]

14 year old kid hasn't read a book in his life

[@strangetoenail]

Loads of these are actual words

[@derekshepherd6198]

Nothing in the title nor the description implies that they aren't, so your comment is pointless.

[@derekshepherd6198]

Damn, spoke too soon, I just noticed in the description that they say "Words Gavin made up, before they start listing the words. Sorry, my fault.

[@15KatelynRose]

Derek Shepherd Notice the use asdfui8o90opi-9hgtfudisuazkl,.;/'\ \\\

[@the_mkmb5649]

Derek Shepherd there. It made up tho they just don't under stand them because there American

[@the_mkmb5649]

Derek Shepherd it's not made up

[@urktheturtle2988]

if they released an actual dictionary with every strange word that Gavin has ever used, and every word someone has used to make fun of Gavin saying weird words.... I would buy it in a second, especially if Gavin was on the cover looking super fancy and sophisticated.

[@blahblah9036]

Night Clone MAAAAARRRRKK NUUUUUUUUUuuuuTTTTTTTT!

[@rizzlefu2024]

the book is called the oxford english dictionary

[@themaypole]

most of these are jus normal English words, I hear them most of the time here

[@AngelOfTheMad]

Actually "Pleb" is an old Roman term, short for "Plebeian(s)", the middle class. The Patricians were the upper class, and the slaves were lower class.

[@xx62midnightxx]

I would make fun of this comment but it is actually interesting!

[@AngelOfTheMad]

xx62midnightxx yeah most of Gavin's words are real. The noises on the other hand...

[@thecadokk1621]

Haha! Nerd...

[@AngelOfTheMad]

The Cadokk Nah, it's called actually knowing something. Something you appear to lack.

[@schweigert2424]

HailToTheMadKing Gavin is saying it like plehb instead of pleeb pleebian is the roman one

[@breloomer236]

"Like a chump"? I'm pretty sure that's a common phrase.

[@DigitalChaosHD]

Some of these words are just normal words we use in England xD

[@24karatHAMSTER]

Flump is a real word. *"Too fall or sit down heavily"*

[@flump9578]

KueyPixel damn right it is

[@mitchforx3464]

+Flump You were my childhood, thank you.

[@comradeclown3403]

That doesn't really matter. I could say a sentence like this, "I proceeded to waltz onto the bustling sidewalk." But in common English, we would say, "I walked onto the sidewalk." When Gavin uses words that most people don't say, it shows a 'colourful vocabulary'.

[@hazelwaring9938]

+DemonMinxOfGeekness in common english we would say path or in proper english we would say pavement. I guess your "we" is american-english?

[@Kalinho83]

It's funny when people say Gavin makes up all these words, but when you actually know british vernacular/slang most of them are quite normal to any british person

[@julianneharris5279]

being from roughly the same place as gavin, most of the words and phrases he says are right (to people who are from oxford and around oxford). everyone around there talks like that

[@thomasmason3122]

Wow his accent has changed a lot since then

[@webberzonline7100]

"Speak English, god damnit, this is America" Um...now hold on a sec. Lets see, United Kingdom, where Gavin comes from and where I live, has this funny little place called hmm lets see here...oh yeah thats right. Fucking England.

[@Teeheehee093]

''Gone hollow now'' Does Gav play Dark Souls?

[@reagenforbes8325]

We'll the worst move in worm history for gavin is every move because his turns usually end in one of HIS worms dying

[@TooFastTooDoge]

Prod is an ability in Worms..

[@buildingadinosaur]

I'm laughing because in England this is literally what we say and I've just realised that other people don't use these words XD

[@goombalo10]

Emma Monk Because a lot of them aren't words...

[@Anthadlas]

Goombalo10 Thats the point, You just make up shit as you go along that fits the situation you're in. You flab headed munkpot

[@goombalo10]

Anthadlas And you say, "Americans don't speak proper English."

[@Anthadlas]

No I don't...

[@goombalo10]

Anthadlas Maybe not you.

[@monkaeyes3417]

A lot of these are just genuine words

[@livvyflynn9364]

I don't know why but Michael's "that's the sound that guns make" always cracks me up

[@UrobourosZero]

Some of his words are real, he either just uses it when no one else around him does, or he just replaces a curse word since he doesn't like to curse as often as the other Achievement Hunters. One example is that "toss" is sometimes used as the complete alternative to "trash." "Just trash it," and "Just toss it." I think I actually heard Gavin say, "What a load of toss," one time or another.

[@dliessmgg]

I thought toss was another word for wank

[@LostyBoy90]

I've actually heard most of the phrases Gavin uses and most actually make sense. I just love how he pulls some of them out of nowhere though and makes them hilarious to hear. Go Gav you legend!

[@---_---_---_---___---]

American logic "your in america learn to speak English" *facepalm*

[@jakomioftherose2434]

I thought American logic was: You don't like what I like? I want to kill you. Or Violence in general. Just saying.

[@---_---_---_---___---]

Jocke the Gamer yer but mine was a direct quote form the video so....

[@jakomioftherose2434]

Alex Copley Kyne I know. And to correct: I don't hate America. The comments I've seen on KZbin made my opinion. Anyone is free to change my mind.

[@---_---_---_---___---]

Jocke the Gamer bro I'm British i don't care if you hate Americans :)

[@jakomioftherose2434]

Alex Copley Kyne I'm a swed. England is awesome.

[@Progamer1013]

Toff is actually a British slang word meaning a rich upper class person. And Gavin had no idea what it meant.

[@bouncycastle955]

Cracks me up when they bust his balls about his slang but a few episodes later they're all using it.

[@quantumrazgriz4949]

At least in America you can say this stuff, and it can be really offensive but people will think you're speaking non-sense

[@Doctoriscoll]

you forgot toppity tippers. he says that all the time.

[@RewindGPs]

99% of these are actual english words, lol.

[@bret2053]

how is "wafty minge" not on here

[@UntrainableWizard]

Just thought I'd say that most of them are words, the rest are just Gavins...

[@fatherofwar1203]

Americans just don't understand it seems :P

[@Erichorton181]

George Holland probably because we speak English without made up words

[@shirothefish9688]

+Eric Horton it you want to be technical, all words are made up

[@Erichorton181]

GUI Guy weow, how philosophical of you.

[@fatherofwar1203]

Eric Horton I would argue that American English is the English with made up words. After all you got it from us and then changed it so it was so much simpler. I mean, i seem to remember sausages being in this video and the others having no idea what they are.

[@Erichorton181]

George Holland yeah, no. We may have gotten English from you but we didn't change it, you did. the English from the 17 and 16th century was very different from today's. and its more different from yours that it is from ours. meaning you changed it.

[@eas26]

Endo is a real thing.....

[@Rikoshima]

i love that gaff really does mean 'place', and gavin uses it correctly every time, but michael and geoff have taken to saying "i've gaffed it!" or "he's gaffed it!" just from mocking him lmfao

[@ultrajeb5689]

I love how at first everyone in Achievement Hunter made fun of Gavin for his vocabulary, but know they all talk like him too now! watch any recent let's play and everyone will throwing out the words "Knob, Pleb, Gubs". Gavin is infectious.

[@GordanFreeman23]

I use those words everyday as well, I use "Come off it" quite frequently now

[@Yakasuki]

Prod is actually the weapon name in worms so that's not actually in Gavin's dictionary, other than that this is great.

[@Kirakat]

Endo is a proper word though...

[@futureblue49]

Nobody said it wasn't.

[@RARM222]

+futureblue49 read the description

[@futureblue49]

misspelled anoymous No where in the description does it Endo isn't a word.

[@RARM222]

+futureblue49 "words Gavin made up in this video are:"

[@futureblue49]

misspelled anoymous It also says that endo is a noun.

[@OtsegoMusic]

prod is actually what it is called in worms

[@russellcowling3631]

as someone from England, I can say that a lot of these words do exist, but for the most part I can safely say that Mr Free is clearly not from the same country I'm from. Or the same planet for that matter.

[@ThyBountyHunter]

Endo is a bike trick where you ride up to a curb then place your front wheel against is and bring your back wheel up.

[@Memmyrabilia]

Prod is a move in Worms...

[@audreydoyle5268]

Even though I’m Australian, I understand a fair bit of what he says. Strange, I wasn’t raised in England, yet I know most of the slang. It’s just hilarious when the others don’t have a clue

[@liquidsoapchannel]

Endo is a completely normal word... So is knob and a few others

[@zombiequeenjayttv1200]

Geoff and Michael saying "jammy flaps" and "flabby jabbies" gets me every time omg

[@raothon]

my favorite is "You donut!"

[@GHNaTHaN]

I say that a lot :)

[@Kagayakitai]

Its almost been five years since this was uploaded and someone needs to update the Dictionary of Gavin.

[@Starweardo]

"Shotty too Hotty" I thought I was the only one who said that.

[@_BeKind]

as an englishmon I can fully understand these phrases even f ive never heard them before its more of a vibe than a definition

[@Sonicfalcon16]

I wouldnt mind a translation

[@darkestheir]

the fucking IDK gets me cause i can hear what hes saying and i understand but in no way will i be able to spell it out and its fuckin makes me laugh all the time

[@Bones-and-Coal]

I freaking love Gavin and his way with words. And the tiniest of tiny screams he does. The dude is adorable.

[@Falcon4224]

Many of these are real words, like chump, knob, endo, pleb, stamp (like stamping out a fire), etc. Most of the others are British slang, or so I hear. There aren't many terms in here that he made up, despite what the description says.

[@RockZombieIAm]

Of course they're real words, they're different in the context that Gavin uses them, especially in comparison to how Americans use them. I've never said dizzled. The video is titled "Gavins colorful vocabulary" not "Fake words by Gavino"

[@Falcon4224]

Moana I was referring to the video's description, which says "words Gavin made up", then lists all the clips in this video edit.

[@Reptile071]

would love to see an updated version of this vid

[@andrewsantosgomez5607]

like a chump; is a real term, knob; real word, Prod; real word, worst turn in worm history; real saying, toss; is a British term, ohh! ;okay really real term, there's multiples; real again, stamp your head in; real saying, Small Scream; that's not ever a word! locked down; real word!

[@GBfanatic15]

+Andrew “S4ntos” Karkane I think he's just bad at stringing sentences together :P they're absolutely real words, but he doesn't always use them in a sentence that makes sense :P

[@mbsminny120]

oh my freaking goodness we need more of these

[@dylanheadrick3789]

Ummm, Endo is definitely a legitimate word even here in the US

[@DarkWolfGames10]

Some of Gavin's words can be found on urban dictionary.

[@hardyharboy]

The majority of these words are proper english words. Also *doughnut

[@saffronevans8598]

The best part is how many of these are real words and the Americans don't suspect a thing

[@flipfilfip]

Is prod not a normal word?

[@Howlover]

I was going to add this to my RT playlist.... but it's already in there. xD I love this video so much.

[@dylanbridges151]

An American definitely made this video

[@BumNanner451]

I'm American and half of these were actual words. The person who made it is just an idiot.

[@daswaggerfish6664]

Absolutely

[@SylvanoDrak]

Gooood you even looked the definitions up... that's one hell of a nice video you got there

[@JustASleepySloth]

Most of it is English slang and what isn't probably should be

[@Monkiebuddy]

This will never ever get old

[@Ba12a198]

Pleb is not a British term

[@the_mkmb5649]

Blake A uh yeh they are

[@lr-]

I’ve never been out of the americas but I’ve absorbed so much Gavin that I can understand flawlessly.

[@Sol_Invictus_]

It's not colourful language he's just being British

[@freezysubzero7]

Really upset “wallop” wasn’t on here, but still an amazing video

[@MotherJef]

an american obviously made this video.

[@closetps4]

Fucking racist

[@MotherJef]

some of these are words many brits use all the time, if an Englishman made this video, it wouldn't include most of the words.

[@kyubeis]

kian mcdonald well yeah these are all weird as fuck to americans

[@austheboss10]

Its been a year, make a new one! You know we are all waiting for it!

[@victoriabrady7033]

So do Americans find these words weird. These are all pretty standard British things to say.

[@MrFatskinny]

Nope, on the American that made this video. Please don't group us all together :/

[@shane199817]

Theyre weird to me. The only sayings/words that arent weird to me are "Knob" and "What are you on about?" Maybe ive been listening to Gavin too much lol. Oh and "Gob"

[@DanielGurney]

The art of the English Language is being able to deploy any word within a context and it mean and be understood to mean, exactly what it's intended for. For example: "I was bannistered last night" to mean "drunk". Gavin is very good at this.

[@danielspackman9524]

This video is obviously made by an American clunge as English do say words like that

[@jameshewitt4088]

thanks for putting the original vids in :-)

[@ThatJohnKid14]

Doughnut* is the English (correct) spelling...

[@ultimategamerxp]

it's funny how these words were fucking weird back then and now most of the AH crew use these words too and don't question it. gavins colorful dictionary rubbed off on the ah crew as the years went on

[@ethanmontgomerie4076]

These words are regular in england... And learn to spell doughnut ;)

[@tropicalbeat9719]

Americans spell it like Donut

[@BlUcIfErUwU]

God we need a part two of this please

[@gjbsaxman94]

Whoever made this is really bad at english, a bunch of these words are pretty common

[@fufufuaru]

"That is bang out of order" from one of the assassin's creed vids is one of my favorites from gav

[@thetruth5084]

Half of these are just general slang that applies to anyone who knows how to speak English fluently... The rest are either complete toss or are British slang.

[@dyslexicsoviet5737]

These are just part of my vocabulary on a day to day basis

[@himcdvnremvr]

pretty bland for an english lad

[@danielspackman9524]

I agree

[@MerrickTheKid]

2 years ago today, and I'm still laughing at this!

[@DraguntyiXVylon]

hearing Jack trying to be funnier than Gavin make me cringe

[@VicRamone]

Please make another one of these!

[@kayo118282]

this is the first time i couldnt breathe anymore from such a compilation i just laughed so hard..

[@monkeynut000]

My favorite is the "YOUR HAVIN A LAUGH!" But I dont remember what episode it was from
