"Got a thingy-majig and i'm rejigging it quickly" Thingymajig is old-person slang for a new-fangled or gadget or tool - in Pete's case it's a euphemism for his military-grade rifle. "Breaker breaker, Pete's in the pub with a baked potato, pint in his hand and a Sunday paper" Breaker is a term used on CB Radios to interrupt a conversation with urgent news. In this case, the police (or rival gangsters) have spotted Pete having lunch and relaxing in a pub on the weekend, but he manages to slip away before they get there.

also in this category of slang are oojamaflip and whadyacallit and thnigymebob :) clear as mud eh?

[@verflucht]

I can see people have already explained the word thingymajig. But I would also add that in my experience, it isn't something that is exclusively said by old people for gadgets or tools. For me, it's a catch-all word for if you're fumbling for a word. For example, you're looking for your car keys, can't quite remember the word and then you say "where is the thingymajig?". Or you're looking for the remote control, can't quite remember the word and you say, well, you already know.

With Pete and Bas, you have old slang, new slang, regional slang, national slang, accents, on top of rap: a genre known for its wordplay. No one can honestly grab it all on the first listen.

[@robsmith8997]

Lol, the sharp spike in the center of a roulette wheel is called a 'Stele', pronounced steal-a. That's what Bas talks about smacking a guy's head into! Fun reaction!

[@GeneSutton-uy1vb]

[@Bergerac82]

Pretty sure he says dealer. But fun reference.

It’s not called a stele it’s called a spindle idk where you got stele from bro

You're the goat!!!

[@scottw5526]

@@AlmostJokingPod No shame not understanding "Thingamajiggy" because cockney accents have no "th" sounds, so it sounds like "Fingamajiggy" lol. Cockney doesn't have any "h's" either. Skipping letters lets cockney speakers talk fast as heck - it's great for rapping

I appreciate that!

[@richardweekes9130]

Great reaction from you guys. This banger is from the early days. You need to play it to the end, because at the end of Bas' verse he says "a pint and a fag" Then after the song they play a trailer for their next song 'Pint and a Fag'. Masters 🐐 🐐

[@MrKingGlock]

This never gets old.

[@kennydeez..1774]

😂”OLD”..

[@TruckJohnson]

You should check out some of their first tracks. See how far they've came. "Shut Ya Mouth," and "Do One," are the first 2. They are good, but raw.

[@teeveejunkie]

Also the track Pint and A Fag. That was my first so I have a soft spot for it.

[@NicolaSheridan-uy6fe]

This is a banger !!

Yeah, Lightwork ain't one they've done yet.

[@Scoobay]

Peace in a pub with a baked potato, pint in his hand and a Sunday paper, not today boys I’ll see you later. I think that’s what he said. Either he’s saying he’s chilling in a pub after he got someone or he’s aiming at a dude in a pub but I think it’s the former. I’m English and sometimes I don’t even catch them, so you’re all good.

[@Scoobay]

Also, I’ve been trying to figure out why guy on the left is so familiar then I saw you were on Kill Tony. Hope you managed to get to Skankfest.

[@MDENZ_]

Can you check out Ez (easy) Mil? He just signed with Shady Records/Aftermath Entertainment/Interscope Records. Start with his Up Down music video and go down the rabbit hole of his music. Get familiar with this artist cause he’s about to blow up. A new track with Eminem drops August 11th.

[@Craig_Humphries]

I think my previous comment may have been auto deleted for posting a youtube link, so just in case that's against youtube rules, I'll avoid doing that this time. A few days ago, I received an auto suggestion for a video labelled: Frank and Maury Chicken and Rice (just search it on youtube) It appears to be two older American rappers. One sounds just like Bas and the other like PKJ from the Snooker Club, and that is currently spoiling everything for me. I've seen a couple of other videos from Frank and Maury, and I frequently recognise an underlying London cockney accent from the guy that sounds like Bas. The one that sounds like PKJ even has the same autotune effect. Any thoughts?

[@deanosaur808]

I don't think it is bas. Just sounds a bit like him There is a link between f&m and p&b' production team, but I don't think they produced that one

[@Craig_Humphries]

@deanosaur808 Thanks for your reply. At the end of the day, there appears to be enough people who say that they've heard Pete and Bas live, so their abilities to perform arent actually in question (which was my initial concern to be honest). However, I can't yet believe that Frank and Maury are also real. For me, it's not just that one of them has a similar tone to bas (more so in some other songs), its that I can sense a cockney twang to some of his wording, which originates from a very small part of the UK (20 square miles?). Throw in the flow patterns, age, a guy that sounds just like PKJ, then put the atlantic Ocean between them, and that can't possibly be chance. Having said all that, It would probably be quite funny if it was in fact Bas and PKJ on the F&M track. Considering the lyrics in their raps, peddling vocals would hardly be the worst crime! :-) Edit: updated comment to fill in a missing word from a sentence.

[@andrewmagill]
