[@MrFang333333]

I learned all these from Gordon Ramsay!

[@PaulJohn01]

He's such a great British ambassador.

[@jdxjoxi]

MrFang333333 This is the only YT comment that ive LOLed at. 👏🏻

[@twt2818]

MrFang333333 people think all brits talk posh well gordon is our example .

[@PaulJohn01]

Funnily enough although I consider myself very common the 1 time i heard my voice recorded i really did sound posh absolutely nothing like i would have expected.

[@maurifons]

LoL!

[@TheOpalHammer]

We Brits don't leave much of a tip because the person we're tipping gets paid properly :)

[@that_llama_in_a_tuxedo4584]

I left a tip once when I was in a restaurant in London by accident and the person looked at me like I was a crazy person.

[@TheOpalHammer]

That_llama_in_a_tuxedo I would struggle to find anyone in Britain who would turn down free money.

[@that_llama_in_a_tuxedo4584]

+Daniel Mason they took the money just thought I was crazy. Probably because it was a mix of US and UK currency.

[@TheOpalHammer]

+That_llama_in_a_tuxedo If you really want to confuse someone, look for a person who looks as if they won't know what an exchange rate is and give them 500 Japanese yen.

[@that_llama_in_a_tuxedo4584]

+Daniel Mason that sounds like a ton of fun. Need to get some yen the next time I go to Japan or just go to the exchange office.

[@QuackDragon]

Bearsca i never heard anyone call anyone else that?!?!!? what's it like? jst like idiot?

[@MotherofImps]

Quack Dragon sounds like a cross between twat and wazzock...the latter being a particularly northern swear :P Means that someones a bit of daft idiot.

[@Bearsca]

namuro01 Yeah, I think it's just a variant of or play on wazzock.

[@benthrussell618]

[@takecontrolcheif]

If you really want to learn how to swear like the British, just catch a bus to Liverpool and ask the 2 teenage girls to stop smoking. I've heard allot of swearing in my time, but nothing will ever compare to the 30 minutes of those two!

[@quintecence]

That happens in any chavy city.. I should know, I grew up in Yorkshire

[@redactedredacted6656]

Because of the school bus shag isn`t even a word anymore to me.It means nothing.

[@strzyga2000]

Eddy Kado same in Birmingham.

[@aliciadolan3200]

Eddy Kado haha I'm from Liverpool ( but I'm not a scatty one I live in a nice area)

[@Cryptonymicus]

British swearing is just too blinking polite.

[@1indonesiaku]

You think so? They use the C-word a lot. Well, more than an average American would, at least. :)

[@Fishy1764]

if you think that then your doin it wrong mate :)

[@kaylabirch2184]

There are much more than these 😂

[@rosspalmer4651]

Cryptonymicus we use all the normal swear words as well but if it's too polite you are doing it wrong

[@nestorsdragon8057]

Britons swear a lot more than every other country in the world

[@thepoopenator7341]

We don't leave much as a tip because the waiters and waitresses are paid reasonable amounts anyway.

[@windstorm1000]

not in the states they aren't--

[@thepoopenator7341]

windstorm1000 Yeah that's the problem

[@Marie45610]

I can attest as I was a waitress for a time.

[@smegskull]

working for tips would never work in the UK as you can't make people like you and any attempt to do so would likely make you just annoying. I went to the USA for a holiday and the waiting staff aren't able to just leave you alone to eat in peace.

[@kleexx200]

+smegskull I want to go to the US at some point but tipping is something that bothers me. I've never tipped someone unless asked if I would like to as its not a common thing in England as we get reasonable wages. I have only ever paid for what I eat/buy and never felt it was my place to pay the wages of staff. Half the time I can only just about afford the food I buy never mind giving someone a worthy tip. I'm all for complimenting a staff members great service but I just feel tipping is a bit too much at times. So I think I'll only ever do it if I'm feeling generous and can afford it. Or service was great. Though as long as people understand its just something I'm not used to rather than I'm a horrible person.

[@davitalives]

Bugger is my favourite british curse word! Bugger it, bugger all, bugger off, he's a bugger, the stain was a bugger to get out.... highly useable!

[@BrummieAvenger]

Davita Egeland You left out 'Buggered.' 'When Mum and Dad get home and see what we've done, we're buggered.'

[@MysteriumArcanum]

mi channnal You cheeky sod, can't say I blame you though. lol

[@spunktasticjismmonkey8569]

As a south-east Londoner, I find your idea of British "swear words" to be pretty laughable. It's 2015, not 1930.

[@alicebowen2526]

So am I... But I still use them

[@spunktasticjismmonkey8569]

I never hear any of the words used in this video, with the exception of bloody hell, which my grandfather still says. Who coincidentally was born around the time they last used many of the other phrases above.

[@spunktasticjismmonkey8569]

cdvdtz I haven't heard it used in a while. Local slang changes pretty rapidly in London. I tend to head phrases like Sloshed or Blotto and occasionally Wasted.

[@reverist]

***** I'm headed to the UK for a brief study tour this summer, and I'm an ignorant American. As such, I can't for the life of me figure out which of these, if any, would be considered offensive. I may just not try any of them on just to be safe!

[@meganstanden7489]

South East and I hear them everyday.

[@websurfer5150]

The presenter has broken my adorable meter...

[@clavesseptem7223]

"Bloody 'ell!" I love this one. For various reasons, Harry Potter related and beyond.

[@Tallacus]

"Bloody hell" is what I say all the time, as well as "Sod off" or I could always use the C word

[@Tallacus]

daro2096 the bad word for female reproductive organs

[@Tallacus]

[@BepsiGirl_]

KingAdrock420 same :)

[@TopShadowman]

KingAdrock420 Eh, here in the UK, we don't nearly say it as often as the Americans think we do. I think Harry Potter really popularised the saying in the US as a very British thing to say.

[@thomashoward7068]

Tootsie Wootsie I would have to respectfully disagree with the Harry Potter part of that.. I personally think it happened far before Harry Potter was a thing. Keep in mind the U.S. was originally colonized by the British, so at least the older words have been here from the start. I would pin its resurgence in popularity on one of two things. The first, and in my opinion less likely, being WWI and WWII. The second, and somewhat more plausible, being the "British Invasion".

[@bashlee09]

I don't know if it's a british word, but a friend I skype with who lives in britain says 'numpty' and I love that word. Get her mad while playing a game and you're likely to be called a numpty.

[@sunandank]

Ashlee Bee Humpty dumpty numpty? 😁😁😁

[@sugarpuff2978]

Ashlee Bee Numpty isn't a swear word. It's more an affectionate word used instead of idiot or something similar. Numpty isn't a nasty word in Britain unless you are very very easily offended. You wouldn't necessarily use the word numpty to be nasty to someone because it isn't a very nasty word. Hope you can understand what I'm trying to say :)

[@rayhan_2k841]

itsa cute way of saying idiot. :) but if you friends im sure it wouldn't matter

[@doublecheeseburger8708]

Ashlee Bee numpty is a British word

[@TonyEnglandUK]

Numpty is a very friendly word, it isn't a swear word. It's the kind of thing you'd say to a friend who fell over their own shoelaces - "You numpty"

[@DylanEves]

im English and wouldn't call these swear words

[@mamalbug]

My favorite is bugger. I usually use it when I've hurt myself. * smash my thumb* "AH! Bugger! "

[@bryan3550]

+Chris Homesteader Very commonly used, but literally an illegal act under British Law!

[@Brambles47]

...not illegal if the act of buggery is concentual, takes place in private and both parties have attained the age of 16 and does not involve an animal.

[@MarcusBurkenhare]

[@hazy33]

This annoys me a lot! Same with so called 'British accent'. What they really mean is upper class accent. There is NO British accent.

[@TheCynicalDude_]

People from Britain and England.... not the same?

[@TheCynicalDude_]

BURIAL AT NOON Ohh okay. I thought Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland were the U.K.... or are they both U.K. AND Britain?

[@eggmayonnaise]

Great Britain is Scotland, England and Wales. The UK is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But each country and each region has their own culture and there are lots of different regional accents. That's why using the word "British" is a bit misleading.

[@TheCynicalDude_]

eggmayonnaise Perhaps they should lump Northern Ireland in with "Great Britain"... so there won't be a problem discerning it from the U.K.

[@AlbertaBushcrafter]

What about "git"? I heard several definitions when I lived in Scotland but I'm uncertain which one fits.

[@AlbertaBushcrafter]

Thanks for clearing that up - I thought that might be the case.

[@AlbertaBushcrafter]

Too bad, as I like "prat" as well. But "git" still works nicely.

why would you click on the video if you dont like swearing?

[@williamjones4716]

One of my Oxford Dons, who was a linguist, told me "bloody" was derived from the affirmation -- "by my lady," (i.e., swearing upon the name of the Virgin Mary), which in Elizabethan times was pronounced "bee ma laaddy." So another theory in the mix.

[@pauljordan4452]

Another Shakespearean oath. It's more likely contraction of By Our Lady.

Being from the US and visiting a cousin in the UK, while he was driving I kept hearing him say "Pratt!" under his breath. When we got to our destination, I told other relatives arriving in a separate car that I learned a new word, said it quite loudly, and was rewarded with pained silence and averted looks.

[@Rosie6857]

It's actually "prat". (Pratt is quite a common surname in England). It used to be almost taboo, meaning a lady's rude bits, but is now much weaker and widespread, though not polite. There is "pratting around" = aimless activity, the same as "faffing around".
