Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton Teach Kentucky and Aussie Slang | Vanity Fair

[@hungrylurker]

"It's a non-motorized snow vehicle." "Ok, that's no way to talk about penguins."

[@moosedawg71]

Yeah, that's why I love Jennifer Lawrence - who says things like that? So quit witted!

@SaltyBrains exactly.

[@ScienceBitch123]

But...I don't get it

[@germancommentresearcher6938]

I died

[@bbyhoodgoth]

😂😂

[@Jqnxxed]

as an Australian i am proud to say that most of our slang makes no sense

[@1337flite]

Makes perfect sense if youre a real Aussie. Crack a fat in Ballarat. Bonza mate, what a corker sheila!!!

[@48Ender48]

Yeah nah, k'noath mate! :P

[@J_Kwan]

i love aussie slang words that sound exactly like what they mean, like munted and doozy lol

[@beardedbjorn5520]

I think Australia probably has the most and best affectionate insults for mates too.

[@0921AV]

No slangs make sense, I don’t think. They just stick.

[@iamkrishn]

So nobody's gonna talk about how she said/slayed him with "Not to your face!" at 2:38 ??!

[@versatilevirus5531]

Seven months later and this is still my favourite part 😂

[@angela_aubrams]

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

[@sarahcampbell3143]

Thats the one that had me grinning, so off the cuff nobody even noticed it 😅🤣😂🤣😅

[@ZoesZoo]

"First of all, that's no way to talk about penguins." "...a leg?" "Ok ... so, cocky." 😂 She's effortlessly funny

[@beastmasterbg]

nope

[@eugenialoulou2727]

Yep!

[@ryancarter2959]

She’s definitely funny but like the awkward and dorky kind of way.

[@kordami28]

@@ryancarter2959 that's my favourite kind of way

[@DamienDrake]

She's like my inner monologue in human form.

[@EdaaBC103]

Joel Edgerton is definitely one of the most underrated Aussie celebs out there

[@hilarylostboohoobahahahahs4856]

celebs are all overated,who wants to b an adult targetting 13 yr olds fo popularity and relevance#lame

[@EdaaBC103]

hilarylost boohoo bahahahahs it’s not lame when you’re earning millions partially because of those 13 year olds

[@tigermunky]

I don't think anyone other than Aussies knew he was an Aussie! I have been educated.

[@slamblamboozled1245]

All the good gigs go to Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie and the Hemsworth brothers.

[@RainbowRoadCrashTest]

Also the cheapest. You can buy the denim jacket that he's wearing for $50 USD. www.amazon.com/Wrangler-Western-Style-Unlined-Jacket/dp/B077JBTGP5/ref=asc_df_B077JBTGP5/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292953960455&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16728414519340791543&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001286&hvtargid=pla-433454623173&psc=1

[@user-jb3nf1mx2k]

Yeah I thought a toboggan was a snow thing like a sled

[@michaelsmith1262]

Southern thing. We usually called them sleds. First thing that comes to mind when I hear the word toboggan is the hat.

[@nathanackerson1]

Up in Michigan it is a specific form of sled.

[@itssarah2789]

Yeah it is.

[@surajbhat5447]

michael smith I don’t know if Texas counts as the South then, since I always think of the vehicle when I hear toboggan, although sled is more common.

[@RedBlushGurl]

. It is!! At least in Canada it is, a toque is a winter hat 😂

[@Kject]

as a Canadian, we use Toboggan as a snow sled. maybe that's what he was thinking. Definitely not a hat ... that's a Toque, eh?!

[@dixienstout507]

It's a hat I live in ky and we call a snow hat a toboggan

[@Kject]

@@dixienstout507 living in ky, do you even get snow?! Us Canadians have snow in our blood. We're basically all Starks.

[@Diana_M08]

To clarify like she said, both is right. There are Toboggans (sleds) and Toboggan hats ("snow hats" in Kentucky).

[@lisacox3750]

Yes, we get snow in Kentucky. We get all four seasons in Kentucky. I’m not sure why people think it doesn’t snow in Kentucky. We aren’t that far south geographically- we are southern mostly culturally.

[@grumblekin]

Appalachian mountain folk call a knit snow hat a toboggan. Source: My hometown in in Tennessee.

[@artificialinsolence3182]

American: "No." Australian: "Noouueew."

[@NickRoman]

New Zealanders are even worse.

[@iti-nellevalgevali8453]

American: nou French:no is the correct way😂😊

[@navy_blue_]

Artificial Insolence ha ha so true

[@beardedbjorn5520]

Australian: yeah naaaaaaah

[@sohsraider26]

Artificial Insolence *Nar

[@b0ttledwaterrrr]

I love that she actually pronounced Louisville correctly. She’s a true Kentuckian!!!

[@SuperFilmregisseur]

She grew up there💀

[@adamcrookedsmile]

"shark biscuit" would be hilarious slang for "leg" though

[@BlackJesus8463]

lol

[@doctorjustice]

The eye contact of Jennifer Lawrence is charming!

[@lucifermorningstar136]

You could just look into her eyes forever

[@blakefalo3755]

I'm an Aussie and I've never heard half of these words 💀

[@cainbradley8697]

Me too man, I ain't heard of half either

[@kimkoya3882]

Never heard Exy. Who even says that?

[@Pancakepanda903]

Exy is relatively new.. in the west.. he duffed a few though..

[@jessmullens5191]

Really?! I've heard most of these, but I do live in a bogan area lol

[@carriebizz]

Maybe you're too young. Ive heard all of them as I'm around joels ages. Phrases change over time so you may be to young to know some

[@FriggSaga]

Bless her. She said Louisville correctly.

[@abbyradke9259]

FriggSaga For real though😂

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

I mean, they used to have the various pronunciations on street banners...

[@paytoncompton7604]

Frrrr!!!!!

[@Matthew-uc7he]

Amen!

[@BoJangles42]

“Lowavul” is the correct pronunciation.

[@melissahale3658]

my mood is jennifer lawrence having the same ootd in all press interviews

[@nancypaopal3]

Melissa Hale it impresses me because I'm like did she do all these interviews in one day lol.

[@pablobarboza8446]

Melissa Hale is the same day haha

[@melissahale3658]

she was on the ellen show too lol

[@wennyl1076]

omg you're so right hahaha

[@liteoner]

All the these interviews probably take place in the same studio, considering GQ and Vanity Fair belong to the same company.

[@elroselemmire7786]

"ooh I'm scandalized" 😂😂😂😂

[@malenyluna5275]

Cute and funny.

[@maximinimarq6254]

What an absolute specimen she is, perfection

[@angela_aubrams]

I was looking for this comment 😂❤

[@Jackson-tx5fp]

Joel: "I didn't think think it snowed in Kentucky" Appalachian people: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@coffeetofee]

I’ve lived in Australia my whole life and I swear I have never heard half of the Aussie slangs mentioned. Well done Jen!

[@asmallsandstorm4686]

My God, Joel is ADORABLE.

[@mason7031]

He could literally destroy my hole🤩

[@femaletrouble]

1:23 I love her clutching mah pearls moment

[@Asstazztic]

Anyone else love how Joel ended it with, “we’ll learn you!” 😂

[@ANTJUANAVRIAVRIAPOCALYPSE]

One of the best parts!!! 👍🤣

[@salmandekkari5523]

yes 😂

[@classicmail8239]

I love Jennifer she's always smiling and laughing, she seems fun to be around.

[@jacobangeles5539]

Joel Edgerton is Underrated AF.

[@moosedawg71]

I am 100% with Joel on the Toboggan thing - until I went to WV for a year, a toboggan was always one of those wooden sleds with metal rails. Nope, in the Appalachian region (KY, TN, WV), it's a freakin' hat! I first heard it when someone said they liked my toboggan and I was like whut? I kept looking around for a sled while they kept pointing at my head - I was SO confused. Oh, you mean my HAT?!! It's a HAT! A toboggan is a sled!

[@mrsmith2876]

Can confirm, born and raised in Appalachia, a sled is a sled and a toboggan is a hat.

[@Burridgeamy]

Hahahaha. Toboggan is a sled a hat is a hat

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

In my area (northwest TN) a toboggan can be either.

[@BijinMCMXC]

We say toboggan as a hat in North Carolina as well.

[@tiaw.9467]

I’ve heard hat a lot, but i’ve heard it is what penguins do down a hill. 🤣

[@oscarmayer25]

When I heard Kentucky waterfall, a single tear rolled down my face. It's almost too perfect.

[@angelicone181]

I love his laugh, he full blown giggles, it’s downright adorable!

[@GenuinelyGage]

I've seen like 20 new Jennifer Lawrence videos today and I'm ok with that!! Lol love her

[@noobofalltrades9766]

She's going to be gone for awhile though, so take all the Jlaw content you can get since it's going to be a year before she goes back to acting again.

[@amine8073]

omg same i can watch her video all week

[@leealvinnaeg9492]

Genuinely Gage same!

[@julianq618]

She looks constipated on this one. Lol

[@indigo7914]

omg actually same

[@kinderjoker]

Hot Brown.. Joel: starts giggling ... Jen: bursts out laughing great minds think alike

[@mayurshardul3553]

How does Jennifer Lawrence have such an amazing chemistry with everyone???

[@sarahelise94]

They missed “Yeah, nah” and “Nah, yeah” for the Aussie part haha

[@thatswhatsgood24]

That's a thing in the US too, probably the UK as well.

[@22barboso]

Joel is a FANTASTIC actor!!! Jennifer is too.... these two are two of my faves! I hope to see more of Joel in the future!!!

[@drepop803]

Love her sense of humor

[@lmm3790]

I think most of these words apply to "outside of Louisville." Cause as a Louisvillian I can say traveling to other parts of KY is like traveling to another planet.

[@whateverdv]

i love how he's holding that ipad. like he's nursing it.

[@vr6535]

Joel Edgerton Ooo I love him...his movie 'The Gift' was so good! He directed and starred in it, and I believe wrote it also! Truly a man of talent!

[@win2024king]

Just cried watching Warrior for the 15th time. Thank you Joel. Give this man an Oscar.

[@PapiSorrels]

These two are so awesome together. JLaw rocks! Loved Edgerton in Warrior

[@demacto13]

Jennifer has worked with so many Australians, you'd think one of them has taken her to Australia. She should go there for vacation! I bet she'll love Australia and the people.

[@peejayyy92]

omg this was so funny. "i mean it doesn't have to be so hostile. it just means i'm gonna teach you something *stares at camera* " HAHAHA. "like cocky or too physically tall? uh it doesn't necessarily have to be cocky, you could just be somebody that people feel like need to be brought down to size. okay... so cocky." "we'll teach you... we'll learn you."

[@royphilip4012]

Jennifer is awesome, she should have a TV show of her own 👍

[@badwolf2308]

Joel was amazing in Bright! Loved that movie and can’t wait for the next one!

[@usa_dobson8967]

I live in Kentucky and might’ve heard about 3 of these.

[@nickschulte3915]

Achieving More no kidding. I grew up in northern Kentucky, maybe that’s it. I was hoping to see “y’all”

[@YouWantMyVote]

I came here to see how accurate the Kentucky slang was. I've been to almost every part of Kentucky and lived here my whole life. I didn't know half of those

[@iwasbored2011]

[@ElegantSkies]

Johnny Skinwalker Makeup enhances beauty not completely change it, just letting you know if you didn't already know this. :D

[@EchosTackyTiki]

"You're just drinking whiskey and frying chicken and there's no snow." Yeah, that's not just Kentucky, that's a good chunk of Dixie, but that's a pretty good way of describing it.

[@anxiousbean1685]

“Good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.” I feel like I’ve heard some variation of that before

[@annlyp6303]

I was SO nervous about this video because I was thinking "I live in Kentucky but cannot think of one slang word?" It became clear as the video went on that I DID know slang, plus I am grateful that Jennifer says Louisville the RIGHT way

[@miss.g-shun-w]

"We'll learn you"! Joel is such perfection 😂

"I thought you guys were just drinking whiskey and frying chicken!" #facts

In romanian too. Well, they're all latin languages, so not surprising.

[@joannasaad298]

[@rachkate76]

Still waiting for the first American in the history of the world to do an even remotely accurate Aussie accent.

[@rachkate76]

Gregory Whoee I know right! The amount of times the outside world discovers an Aussie accent we watched locally for years, then they start saying 'omg can't believe he's/ she's an Aussie!?' etc is huge. Ever heard an Aussie say 'omg I can't believe he's/ she's not really an Aussie that was such a convincing accent!'? Nope me neither. 😂

[@samstandeaven4783]

There was a short one of Matt Damon impersonating Chris Hemsworth on the Ellen Show. It was about his dangerous holiday in Australia I think.

[@maddief9456]

Agree!! until I heard Kate Winslet in that Aussie movie with Liam Hemsworth. She’s the only person who I’ve ever thought wow she did a good job!

[@sm_3265]

Best Aussie accent I’ve ever heard done was Dev Patel in Lion. I honestly thought he might have been Australian and had to double check

[@debbiebacharach9723]

How was Meryl Streep’s accent in “A Cry in the Dark”? It sounded good to me. She can usually do great accents.

[@demacto13]

Joel is so hot btw! I mean that hair and that denim just gives me life!!!

[@shannonardo]

Loved this! I grew up in Louisville, Lexington, and Morehead KY... I hadn't heard of ANY of these except one or two, but I felt like there were a ton missing, such as "Peachy-keen," "burning ears," "itchy palms," "Geez Louise," "y'all's/y'all're/y'all'll," "purdy," "youngin'," "holler (as in geographical location)," etc!!! Not that they had to include all of these, I'm just really surprised a couple didn't show up in there! But maybe that's more Appalachian slang? And I've never actually heard people living in Louisville call it The Ville.

[@ThePulpitOfPoop]

Jennifer Lawrence is hilarious here, flustered yet rooted. Truly she is an actress way ahead of her time.

[@fatdudewh33lchair]
