Some Odd Words with ISMO: "Junk in the Trunk" - Merriam-Webster

[@hithere_1967]

Ismo explaining English words from a Webster dictionary.... I JUST LOVE IT!

[@vitogeraci7146]

It’s like English was built for him to make fun of.

[@EvulOne42]

This! 😂

[@skidmarksmeister]

You're a fan!😂

[@snehalquest]

Superb way of teaching English words. Amazingly amazing. :)

[@HistoryPhilologistDude]

I love ISMO and his English explaining and jokes

[@poerneyinc.94]

Knowing Ismo a little, I am honestly disappointed there were no sausages in the trunk.

[@richardautry8269]

Kariste Makkara

[@Derpster2493]

He's from LA. People in San Francisco have sausages in the trunk.

[@timomastosalo]

How do you know? Maybe there was. How long do you think they last in Ismo's hands? :) He opened the trunk, saw the sausages, went quiet for a while, and the sausages were gone. Maybe he was thinking which word tricks he coukd do about the contains of the box, maybe he did a magic trick. - but the sausages disppeared for some reason. Maybe they evaporated when he opened the trunk.

[@bobosims1848]

Of course there were no sausages in the trunk... He's a vegan, who occasionally eats lots of sausages. That's why they're not in the trunk: he's eaten them!

[@thrasherdave1428]

Nah but there is junk in the trunk 😊

[@smashgambits]

He missed the opportunity to call the trunk a "chest" and tie that back to the human body :)

[@pedrocorga]

hahahah that's brilliant! Man I do love the English language, so quirky and random! :D

[@The1402784]

This is actually informative. I have been studying English for years now and am studying in University, but I actually found this information useful when mentioned together. Much appriciated

[@MobiusBandwidth]

sorry English is so ridiculous!

[@disuser-lp3qv1tm8f]

I didn't know my everyday thoughts could be stand-up comedy material. This is basically how I have been pondering my acquired languages over many years.

[@PandaBeatBrothers]

It's not only what you say, but how you say it.. ;)

[@JerrodPotter]

Seriously, English (especially American English) is so unnecessarily complicated. Thanks, ISMO, for making light of this weird subject. More videos, please. :)

[@jonasthemovie]

Booting a computer comes from bootstrapping, which comes from the actual boot, pulling yourself up from the bootstraps.

[@cabletelcontar5440]

Well, that doesn't help any better than Ismo's shaking booty😊

[@mikeymcmikeface5599]

And rebooting is restarting. The first start is booting. 😏

[@WorkFromHomeFriday]

Oh, man! This is my new favorite thing!

[@lotsoffun4939]

This is nothing like what I thought it would be, now I remember why I subscribed

[@willariza00]

Well played Merriam Webster! I wondered why I was subscribed to your channel and I was ready to leave the building... Then I watched the content featuring Ismo I'm still subscribed and, somehow, I feel smarter ;)

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Haha! Funny guy. Love it. Watching from the Philippines.

[@thezackseven]

ISMO you are "The shit" of comedy and I am not shitting you.

[@philwright2480]

George Carlin would have loved ISMO, brilliant

[@dylandamianmcewan9867]

I laughed so much! Love it!

[@lucazlt]

A thousand episodes please

[@mrimatt6210]

1:58 Shake that booty. Still laughing.

[@hugostiglitz6914]

Did anyone else think that, "Shake that booty" means something completly different!😁

[@timomastosalo]

Most ones did... Why did you think he mentioned it? :)

[@EvulOne42]

Another funny video fron you, buddy! You are the best! ❤

[@Rylee_G]

Omg Merriam Webster posted this 😂

[@cyannafulgence8092]

Excellent video guys 😊😊😊

[@aboelsofalabed1588]

Wait a minute from now on you are my new English teacher im serious

[@em0_tion]

I've heard in Canada "a boot" means "about" :P

[@HotelPapa100]

Americans claim this all the time. It's rubbish. Listen closely. It's 'a boat'

[@jarmohaapala1359]

To BOOT a computer is to Start it. Restart of a computer is REBOOT.

[@HeadHunterSix]

Rebooting means "to boot again", not that we should have to explain that to someone watching a Merriam-Webster video of course. So rebooting is, by definition, booting. Don't take my word for it...

[@t.thompson21]

Genius :D

[@racefrazier7998]

A "butt dial" means you accidentally called them on the phone, A "booty call" mean, to call a "friend with benefits" and well.... you know do things.

[@Nipponsuki]

Junk In The Trunk because of course ISMO went there without going there lol

[@supattrakitsanasakul2863]

That wooden box was not big enough to be a trunk.

[@rikirex2162]

Amazing English teacher....

[@Chris.Davies]

One day, when humans get sick of being separated by a common language, we will invent a new language, and in that language every single word will be unique, and no word will ever have a second meaning. And in this way, we will finally learn to communicate with each other properly. I am absolutely positive this will happen eventually, and there is precedent: King Sejong of Korea invented modern Korean and hangul, all by himself! And he did an amazing job, too!

[@imaginative-monkey]

I love this funny ass shit! :P

[@stefanjr1250]

hahahahaha YES ISMO!!!

[@4peaceandharmony]

wLol! I never realized how complicated the word 'trunk' could be. 😄

[@petertraveller6421]

He should also say... And if you have a phone, then you can do booty call.

[@balorclub3774]

Upload idioms of the day. Upload more videos regarding vocabulary.

[@MerriamWebster]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@baronrittiner646]

Trunk is it not Bonnet as well now on electrics of Cars called EFront Trunkette?

[@baronrittiner646]

Sorry to speak the real un polluted UK Mother tongue that is a bit colorful and controversially yours temporarily in Texas

[@annelenknappe1686]

Reboot the computer, Ismo! Do you have a brother who's single?😁

[@theenvironment5789]

lol

[@Arcturuseyes]

Interesting story, look up how "booting a computer" came about.

[@ysvsny7]

hi is genius 😅😅😅

[@AndrewOBannon]

Hahaha

[@timomastosalo]

Mind matters. Mind the words that matter. Mind, uhm, WITH, matter!

[@jonoesquirryl]

Wonder how many people watched this and thought it was about money in boxes.

[@LuzAGuevara]

🤣🤣🤣

[@DerMacko]

Wait, what?

[@looseygoosey23]

I want to know all that

[@ibrahimhaneef6684]

Nice, now you are teaching us good English

[@andreaashburn76]

🤣

[@russergrensa140]

Shake the Boody.)))

[@hungvu2774]

[@TheBlueWiresStudio]

Booty as in booty calls also 😁

[@thundersuckler5194]

No shit

[@shaneweightman]

All true but not so funny

[@maxim9280]

Make Finland great again. So pathetic to see a Finn paying a tribute to English as if there was no one else to do that in the UK or in the US&A
