How To Insult Like the British - Anglophenia Ep 12

[@lupo5259]

You know you're British when you know what all the censored words are

[@1224chrisng]

lol

[@alexwright4869]

I can recognise the length of the words just from everyday life

[@randomdigitalz286]

I really hope knob jockey was one hahaha, I love that insult

[@randomdigitalz286]

hahaha, I just saw the shaksperian insults video and my god, I couldn't contain myself. I laughted so hard at "your veringiity breeds mites" xD

[@lonememe]

Oh, come on, you have to fill us dimwitted Americans in on what those were! I was hoping for a more uncensored version anyway!

[@condorboss3339]

The best british insults are the ones where the victim doesn't realize he has been insulted until three minutes later. "Now I understand why all your wife's children look like her brother."

[@allanmacbadger5692]

The milkman - he was ginger as well

[@loddude5706]

"Oh hello, I believe I knew your father - did you ever meet him?"

[@somebodytouchamebreasts7668]

Condor Boss yas ikr so slick

[@flightlesslord2688]

m8, you cannot go wrong with a good old fashioned implied incest dig

[@Thatlilmonkey-ng9il]

it took me a bit of time to get your joke.

[@_s_9920]

The best thing about about British insults (along with the Aussies & Kiwis) is the versatility of each insult, they can be used for all occasions and can even be used affectionately, ironically and humorously all depending on the pronunciation, timing and tone

[@fi6be111]

"bellend" there is a classic one that isn't used by the upper class...

[@Shaestel]

***** Oh honey,

[@fi6be111]

***** i'll tell you when you're older...

[@williamschlich8389]

What have the upper class got to do with it?

[@socialjusticewarrior783]

it means gay

[@adambirkbeck3139]

mWillia hSchlic - absolutely ANYTHING that is important involves them. Unfortunately, they don't use this word as a LOT are gay, LOL Which is probably why titles die out so often...lol

[@meekmeads]

It's not hard to insult the French! Just give them a pole and a white cloth.

[@VikingRaider]

How did the Germans invade Poland so easily? They walked-in backwards, saying: "we're leaving".

[@mikeharrison4743]

Miko Mido Don't need a pole that's why they built the Eiffel tower.

[@neilgriffiths6427]

Actually the flag of France after the first defeat of Napoleon - the Tricolour was of course banned, and the new flag of France was...a white flag - I'm not kidding!

[@Trillock-hy1cf]

Why did the French plant all those trees down the sides of roads ? Easy, it so that the German soldiers could march into France in the shade on hot days. Or, just sell them tanks that only have 1 forward and 6 reverse gears, the same as the ones for Italy. As for words, then dickhead, knobhead, berk, tosser, moron for examples all pretty much mean the same.

[@gavriloprincip11]

C'est aussi facille de chiér sur les têtes des anglais ,mon ami !!

[@deanwinchester5982]

Those of you that are saying "I'm British, I have never heard these" that's probably because you are younger than 20 and have never been anywhere. Growing up in the 80's and 90's they were all common place. I must admit, I did not know Berk was rhyming slang. Apart from the cricket length not a bad effort. Going to use Berk more often at work x

[@weenad]

tash tash not me. I haven't heard half these words, but that's probably because I'm Scottish, and live in Scotland where we have our own insults, such as eejit, bawbag and fannybaws, which for the most part replace many of the words in the video.

[@davidgreaves6560]

You got glass in yer windows?

[@darkbluegriever3813]

[@raminybhatti5740]

I've heard Americans using the word "twat" and it's hilarious. They pronounce it as, "twot" or "twaat". Sounds very strange to me.

[@otpls7165]

Private First Class William Hudson How are u suppose to pronounce it? Some guy tweeted it several times during a rant and I'm pretty sure I say it wrong lol

[@Itsmeeman1]

***** It's pronounced the way it's written. - tw-at - tw, as in twitch and at, as in cat.

[@j-me6317]

***** Itsmeeman1 I've always heard it pronounced twot. Don't know why, but that's how young people pronounced it in the 80's. (At least in central FL) Btw, they were usually referring to the female anatomy.

[@Itsmeeman1]

J-Me Yeah, it went from meaning pregnant fish to vagina very quickly. Probably the smell.

[@Itsmeeman1]

TheBunniMonster Some fish get pregnant. Look at sharks. Some give birth to live young.

[@NumanFanlfc]

I looked down the first page of comments & there's no BELLEND ... Call yourself english lol .

[@keithmahoney4390]

Maybe she likes a nice bell end 😊

[@rubytuesday1345]

I believe that the term ‘bellend’ originated in Droitwich in the Middle Ages. Apparently in the churches, the poor had to sit near to the belfry where it was so loud (due to the bells) that they couldn’t hear the vicar. Hence the poor were often referred to as the “bell-enders”. This got shortened over time so that anyone considered to be of poor breeding was called a bellend. Fact.

[@keithmahoney4390]

And there's me thinking you calling somebody a penis LOL

[@flightlesslord2688]

The best British insults are the subtle ones such as a butler is letting a foreign woman into the door of a country mansion. She looks around and says, "This place is like a prison.'' He replies, "I'm afraid you have the advantage of me madam.''

Actually the two finger salute and the peace sign are NOT the same. The salute is with the back of your hand outward. The peace sign is with the palm of the hand outward.

[@princegn504]

but in america often they do both

[@shio7344]

Really? I haven't seen both . . .

[@StamfordBridge]

+KingAptitude I disagree. In the U.S., the peace sign is always palm outward, and the two-fingered salute is virtually non-existent, excepting someone affecting Britishness.

[@Ieishdragyn]

kids use the two finger salute, ad their concept of peace. WRONG.

[@JadeSim]

Susan Sackinger people use the peace sign with the back fingers also in America. So no, she's right, you were just misinformed.

Teensy problem, Siobhan, it's actually "Thick as two SHORE planks." It's an old Navy term (much of British slang is). Shore planks were think shoring timbers used to prop up a wooden hulled ship in Drydock or on a beach for careening.

The word "as" is the comparative superlative, you can add it to the end of any adjective and it means "very 'adjective'" or "as 'adjective' as is possible". People took phrases like "easy as pie" or "thick as two short planks", got rid of the comparison, and expanded the use of the word to include any adjective.

[@daimyo2k]

FYI... American sign for peace is the 2 fingers with the palm out (it can also mean "victory"). Palm in, you're just asking for 2 of something.

[@JohnDoe-qx3zs]

+Julian Mexia Would either of you bother to translate for those of us not trained on the details of Cockney slang, since Siophan was too timid to actually explain what she came here to explain?

[@tommullinerart]

Certainly.Cockney rhyming slang originated in the 19th Century by the working class of East London. It could have been for several reasons: a local secret code language or a game? It works like this: you have a word - "look" for example and substitute a couplet rhyme where the second word rhymes with your chosen word. In this case "look" would be "butchers' hook". BUT you'd only say the first word of the rhyme when using it. eg "Take a butchers at that." Does that help?

[@allysloper1882]

I'm an American and years ago I remember watching with my family a British film set during WWII in a London neighborhood. The group of kids in the movie were daring each other to "curse". One of them took the dare and exclaimed "Bugger off you bloody sod!". We all look at each other and said "That's swearing?". None of that meant anything to us.

[@lauraloo9365]

Yes I understand how it could be confusing. But in England "bugger off" just means go away or piss off. And "you bloody sod" is basically just you idiot or you cheeky git. Even though that probably doesn't make sense either does it. Well, that's what it means😂

[@MRSPIKE001]

+Jeff Morse Thats the bomb site scene from the movie Hope and Glory. Those children were a right bunch of sods.

[@castielle532]

The two fingers is always mistaken for the american's "peace" sign; however, it should be noted that when doing the "peace" sign, the palm faces outward, whereas when performing the two finger salute, the palm faces inward. Take note, my English loved ones. Great video, by the way. I loved it, as always.

[@castielle532]

By "outward" I mean facing away from ones face, and "inward" refers to pointing toward ones face.

[@myworld-sp3xr]

As an english-man that loves to insult both America and France to an equal extent, your cultures really don't mix (mainly on food) And yet are so similar. Stereotypical French food - snails. Stereotypical American food - minced offal between bread.

Not to be a tosser about it, but "thick as a brick" is one expression that we also use in America.

[@AlexOjideagu2]

+Nick Hentschel We say "Thick as a plank" in the UK, meaning plank of wood.

[@TheSaneHatter]

ojideagu But she said, "thick as a brick,' in the video.

[@TheSaneHatter]

ojideagu But you heard it HERE, and that's what I'm responding to. Nothing that you've said, changes that,

[@AlexOjideagu2]

+Nick Hentschel Well I'm English and lived here all my life, and I'm telling you what 99% of people say, is thick as a PLANK. Thick as a brick is uncommon and I haven't heard anyone say it in my entire life. Thick as a brick is the name of an Album by Jethro tull, that's about all I've heard of it.

[@TheSaneHatter]

ojideagu That's irrelevant. My only point is, that "thick as a brick" was the expression used in this video, and i responded to that, and to that alone. There's really nothing to argue about it.

[@jeffs2935]

This is one of my favourite. Hope to see more info on your home country.

I've noticed kids playing in the street only sticking up one finger to their friends instead of two. They've either been watching too much American TV or they're just lazy. We always gave it two

The majority of the archers at Agincourt were Welsh, hence Agincourt Square in Monmouth. Just saying, like. ;-)

My most favourite one is "Excuse my French" just before saying the rest of the story 8) which kinda is an insult, eh?

[@rhyanbennett2629]

Mardy? Gannet? I'm a Brit and I've never even heard of those!

[@whitewolf8644]

I've never heard of mardy but I use Gannet all the time, but then I live in the south/west and I think she said Mardy is northern, it's not an insult but I love the phrase "Gert Lush" a nice Bristolian term lol👍🏻

[@shaunw9270]

+Maria Cowle .... Lol ! They use "Mardy" all the time on Coronation Street! When I was at Speedwell School in the 80's, even my English teacher , Ruth Vary from New Jersey jokingly used Gert Lush often. If you visit St.Nicks market , you can buy T-shirts with the phrase on !

[@whitewolf8644]

+Bristol Blue T-shirts with Gert lush on it? Yeah I got a red jumper with it on, and a Tee that says Maahh, I wants a go on the slider.lol. Yeah I use Gert lush all the time 👍🏻 and I use the word Gannet a lot too lol but not Mardy, think that's a Manc thing lol😂👍🏻

I had always thought that the battle where the English archers (armed with light "long bows") cut down so many of the French knights (armed with heavy, difficult-to-reload "crossbows") was at Crecy, not Agincourt. In any event, I think the battle of Agincourt was during the reign of Henry V (1413-1422), while Crecy was during that of Edward III (1327-1377).
