[@DaveBartlett]

"Sometimes, the words just don't be worded" - I think you made your point well enough there, JT! 😂

[@sarahwhite8135]

I always use "knackered" to express tiredness and regularly refer to dim people as gormless!!

[@nealgrimes4382]

what i love about Gormless is that, there is such a thing as Gorm that has fallen out of use.

[@Psammead21]

Does anyone else watch JT complete these quizzes whilst calling out the right answers to him through the screen and cheering him on? No? Just me? OK. I'll see myself out 😂 Love you JT (and Anna) and congratulations on the well deserved 150k subscribers xx🎉❤

If you see a gormless person, you understand how appropriate the word is.

[@kingoftadpoles]

Oh the irony!

[@mistycrom]

"What's a contraceptive?" Well, JT... when a mummy and a daddy love each other very much, but they also like things such as 'money' and 'sleep', they might use those. Also, a word not many people know of is the counterpoint to gormless, 'gormful'.

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

This comment levelled me 🤣. Giving "the talk" to grown adults will never not (excuse the double negative) be funny to me.

[@andrewpinks3678]

In UK we call strollers push chairs; a pram is more the bassinet style stroller where the baby lies flat.

[@lmorgzy]

We use pushchair/pram/buggy interchangeably, here in the East Midlands at least :)

[@andrewpinks3678]

@@lmorgzy, may be I’m of an older generation. I remember ordering our silver cross pram for our daughter to sleep in during the day for the first few months of her life; didn’t go into buggy/pushchair until they could sit up. I know that there has been a lot of design developments in last 20 odd years so that “prams” aren’t really a thing any more.

[@lmorgzy]

@andrewpinks3678 yeah on second thoughts, I'd probably use pushchair and buggy more interchangeably, and pram more for the bassinet type you mentioned. Not to say I don't ever use pram to refer to the latter, but maybe not as much as I first thought LOL

[@ElizabethMackenzie69]

I'm from Lancashire, and I use 'pram' for all of them. 🙂

[@deeg4552]

​@@ElizabethMackenzie69im from Lancashire and call them both prams too

[@lalunacee9168]

JT , you just asked what is Birth Control (Contraceptives, ) 🤭 Great video, definitely go for that lottery ticket.

[@louiseglasgow]

Growing up in Northern Ireland the slang for police was Peelers, so like the English use Bobbies that comes from Robert Peel's first name, the Northern Irish nickname comes from his surname.

[@rikmoran3963]

"Sometimes the words just don't be wording...." 😂🤣😂 You know it's going to be good when he starts the video by saying this!

[@annedootson6456]

Congratulations Anna what you calling baby haha😂

[@Granny_Cat_Lady]

The police are often called Bobbies, or Peelers (it’s an old fashioned term); Wellies, or welly boots as my daughter used to call them; I use the phrase Gormless a lot - I know a few dim-witted people 😂

[@Michelle-bo4hj]

Yes we do use these words every day , What is contraception OH MY really JT lol. yet another great video . Keep at it JT 150k subscribers your smashing it, and we love the content.

[@ALMUK22]

Chuffed to bits with your guesses today, JT!

[@janetcarlisle4615]

I love these quizzes JT. I think you did rather well to be honest. One thing though you may want to look what a contraceptive is or you might get more than you bargained for!! 😂😂😂

Quid isn't slang for money, it's slang for a pound specifically.

[@RunrigFan]

Not true

[@Debbie-st4nn]

​@@RunrigFan Nobody calls 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 or 50 pence quid. It's always pound(s) so it is specific for pound(s)

[@tracyhagan6222]

​@@RunrigFanit definitely is a £, £5 notes are fivers and £10 notes are tenners

[@RunrigFan]

@@tracyhagan6222 true but often we may say can I borrow 5 quid or pounds

[@_Professor_Oak]

@@RunrigFan not sure what planet you're on, but a quid is a pound just like a buck is a dollar. Its slang for the currency, not money in general. A quid. 5 quid. 100 quid. For example, you dont say "have you got some quid for the bus?", unless youre special or something...

[@sc3pt1c4L]

Spiffing job my old mucker!

[@digidol52]

You did great - you're only 15% gormless.

[@ALMUK22]

Quid is used to refer to one pound.

[@billyhills9933]

Quid is an invariant - it is both singular and plural, so you can say a quid or five quid.

[@kathnunan641]

nope i say i only five ten or 20 quid or squid as well

[@torfrida6663]

150k! I subscribed just as you were about to reach 2,000! Many congratulations! 💕🇬🇧👍

[@EmilyCheetham]

I use the work knackered & hear others use it. Knackered can mean tired but it can also mean worn out. e.g. the chest of draws is knackered- It is falling apart.

[@sticklebrick2003]

"I'm such a good guesser..." - AKA - "I've done a ton of edits to hide my Googling..." 😂😂😂

[@user-ke6bg1ml5e]

Ik...gonna try and follow YT guidelines....sort of...lol 1. Bobbies - You're right not many call them that....maybe 60/70 years ago but generally nowadays we use various acronyms such as - The Fed's, Rozzers, The Filth, The Old Bill I could go on but they wouldn't meet YT guidelines 2. We are the champions at Queuing....there's a lot of queue etiquette regarding pushing in etc it can cause full on fist fights..... Anyway just a bit of extra info.... Still loving the content and so 'chuffed' that you two have finally moved into the new house. Your happiness is infectious! JT Anna and you have had a meteoric rise and richly deserved your 50K status....congrats. Your channel is in my top five and what I love most is your down to earth honest attitudes. So refreshing from the many US channel hosts acting like the next wannabe influencers .... And not gonna lie I do have a bit of an Anna crush too ....😂😂😂😂

[@wobaguk]

Im sure some of these are generational. There was a lot of talk of 'bobbies on the beat' or lack of them when staffing shifted away from visible policing to red tape and investigation.

"Bobbies" is a legit word for the police. Another one, that isn't used any more, is "Peelers", also after Sir Robert... For "Knackered", think about the knacker's yard, where old, tired horses are sent to...re-purpose them.
