John Bishop translates teenage slang | Between The Lines

John Bishop joins us to discuss growing old, trying to understand Generation Z, and his perfect dinner party. Order your copy of How To Grow Old now: amzn.to/2NMTbSt
With intimate confessions and spit-your-dentures-out hilarious commentary - How To Grow Old is observational comedy at its best.
Don’t come to this book under any illusions. It isn’t going to tell you how to stay alive any longer. It won’t help you understand the aging process from a sociological and anthropological perspective, and I’m not sure how much practical advice you’re going to get.
However, if you happen to want to know what a white, heterosexual, middle-aged man thinks of getting old - from the struggle to stay fit, keep hold of your friends or stay relevant, to why I’m better at doing a dump now than at any time in my life - this book could very well be exactly what you have been looking for. You might even find it a bit funny.

Hadn't heard of the man before, but he was just announced as the new companion on Doctor Who so I wanted to see what kind of person he is. He's quite funny. And he has such nice teeth lol.

[@blah7983]

As an American I didn’t notice lol. People keep saying his accent is too strong for Americans and Canadians to understand easily but I don’t get why.

[@azizuladnan2957]

Glad I'm not the only one who search for him, cause I have no idea who he is. But I'm really looking forward to it.

[@azizuladnan2957]

@@blah7983 I can understand only some of it, but I can keep up with it. I know most of other people I know definitely wouldn't understand it, since English is the second language for us.

[@moondoglovesyou]

He's a lovely guy. Watch a few interviews with him and you'll see that he's a brilliant ally for LGBT rights, a decent bloke and a very funny comedian. He's done a few bits of acting and he's not bad.

[@bellacrl]

the same reason why i'm here

[@Pollydoidle]

Such a handsome chap and soooo funny and spot on

Can we all agree this is what aging like fine wine means?

[@caitlinmurray3452]

John bishop could get it anyday

[@monchatsplash]

Yes and he would be getting it from me

[@barbiedoll44]

in love with this man.

1:20 yeet can be used for anything really.

[@minirock000]

'Yeet' expresses a strong emotional reaction. It is a turn of the century word, even newer than 'woot'. 'Yeet' became popular on something 'the vine'. I do not know what that 'vine' is.

[@ellarizzo8806]

James Faulkner II the vine is ‘this b@&!h empty, yeet!’ And I know how to use it because I’m a gen Z 😂😂

[@ellarizzo8806]

James Faulkner II a link to the vine kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHPNqmiPhpqrhsU - also it was originally posted on an app called Vine, so it is a vine.

So, so funny and also so handsome 😊❤.

You can even set down the tv remote, do something for a minute then you have to spend time figuring out where it went.

[@tyronewhitehead3123]

Great John missing you live this is great

[@kamikazeman]

Imma use that bit about yeet from now on hahahahah

[@annewatkis5824]

Oh I love John bishop and I wish he would tidy himself up. He used to be so smart.

[@minirock000]

There is already a word to throw something really hard or carelessly, 'chuck'. You chuck it. Yeet is to express a strong emotional reaction, often humorously. It is a 21st century word, they should know the definition! There in lies the problem, they take words that have a definition already (probably due to ignorance) and change it.

James Faulkner II you sound like one gen z are allowed to do whatever they want don’t speak for them and don’t act like they’re the problem and say they’re dumb.

James Faulkner II ive read lots of books thank you i don’t need life advice from you. how about you go out and talk to someone other than some ignorant child you met once.

John Bishop looks like an older version of Sam Fender.

What’s the point of being alive if it’s not to yeet.

Godhelp ya when yer get to my age and 3mths older than DJT :)

[@thebloxburgblues-bloxburgm4783]

I am Generation Z, and I don’t understand the language, I know what it all means, but I find it cringy and cheesy along with being silly, just use proper English, or don’t use English at all.
