I am a Palestinian. I enjoy seeing different types of UK slang. This kind of slang very much reminds me of the football hooligans. I just don't know why. it could be the the bullying attitude in how it sounds. :) thanks.
Grew up in Brum and moved to Canada spent 50 years working, using a radio for communications. Now understand why everyone instantly knew who I was when I came on.
Interesting, as a Chinese, I didn't expect that one day I would watch a video teaching Burminghan (hope I got the word right) accent with a big smile on my face. Brilliant work, thanks a lot!
She's got the brummie accent to a T but not the black country accent, the black country accent varies in different areas and talk a lot quicker because we abbreviate our words as small as possible E.G. you =yo,been=bin,laughing =loffin,I'm not=i'ay ECT,those slightly little words help talk quicker and we don't drone our words out it's short and sharp,
yeh its like people from dudley drag their words.black country is a dialect.and your right we seem to shorten words.as though were speaking like people do in text messages.
Great stuff Laura. My first experience of the broad Brummie/Black Country accent was a bit of a shock. A long time ago, eleven year old Cockney/London born me stepped off the train at Birmingham New Street. That then was a very "Black" Station from all the coal fired steam Train action. Railway enthusiast me, I got talking to the group of young Lads Train Spotting at the end of the platform. I told them I wanted to see a Coronation Class Locomotive in action, ideally at speed. I got the following reply from one of the lads which went something like this. "If yow wanna to see the sem-eyes at speed you wanna go to Tammoth and see the Middoiy Scut." Huh? Roughly translated it goes like this. If you want to see the semi-streamlined at speed you want to go to Tamworth and see the Mid-day Scot. For about 1/3d ( six pence decimal ~ what's inflation Dad? ) for a return ticket to Tamworth I did get to see that train at speed with the magnificent Coronation Class Locomotive 46237 "City of Bristol" on the Northbound Scot. I could not believe a steam train could go that fast. Any train for that matter. Worth every penny. When the family moved from London to Gloucester ( locally Glostirr ) I was barely nine years old. My first day at Junior school had all the local lads forming a circle around me in the playground getting me to speak. None had heard Cockney before. Remember there was only one TV Channel. The BBC and few households had a TV. All Radio/TV was BBC only all with "refined" RP accents unlike today and recent decades. Always had a keen interest in accents. One of the reasons my all time favourite entertainer was the late, great Peter Sellers. He could effortlessly produce a convincing accent from just about anywhere in the World. As any of his many films, particularly the early monochrome ones, will confirm. He could do the lot! His speciality being his Michael Caine impression. A short clip is on TH-cam if you search, Not many people know that .. ... 😉
If, by standard, you mean R.P., it is a fabricated accent not a real one. Interesting that the Birmingham accent is despised by non Birmingham people in the UK, but foreigners seem to like it.
I used to work in Telford (Shropshire) and they use "Round the Wrekin" Its the name of a local hill/peak (and local council area) that you have to go around as its impossible to drive over!! Probably where the expression originates?
Ah but do ya know why we'm called 'Yam yams'? It's because we say yam and not you are. So for example 'You are going, aren't you?' becomes 'Yam gewin, ay ya?' 😄👍
You’re really good, glad I discovered you. Not just clever with the accent but, knowledgable around what makes an accent. Saw one of your other videos about the soft T in the Birmingham accent and I think that comes from the Irish influence in Brum. And a definite phrase to add to the ones you have sited here: Oo, Aven’t you grown! Exclaimed by relatives whether they’ve not seen you for 10 years or 10 days.
I have an interest in Birmingham cos of my great grandparents who emigrated to Australia 100 years ago with two kids. My grandmother was born in Australia. Would love to go & visit the rellos. May have left my run too late. Love the videos. Keep up the good work!
ta very much! Haven't heard my home dialect of Black Country since I left the UK in 1984. I grew up in Oldbury/Dudley. I can still speak Black Country, but my vocabulary is over 60 years out of date. Bostin video our kid!
@@pavitashergill8308 Very well thanks, living in Sweden today, before that 30+ years in Denmark. I have fond memories of visiting West Brom market with my mum back in the 60-70s. Especially buying pork scratchins.
My other half is from Westbromwich, hence we have two Westbrom supporters in my house. I'm from Yorkshire. We have some of the same slang words as you. We also say, 'babby', ' stop clarting around', 'bust' for broken, 'he's got a cob on' but we call a cob a ' bread cake'. What about scone. Do you say 'scone' or 'scon'. I'm from Hull and we say 'scone' there. Whenever we go over to Westbrom I always feel out of place there with my accent. The black country accent is very ' sing songy'. I think the Yorkshire accent is a lot more flat. 😊
I have loads of fun with my two (not so now) little Hampshire Hogs, about many words that I use compared to what they use, in particular: Cobs, pop, outdoor, pikelets, bath (not barth!), bostin, etc. Bless them, they just don't gerrit! Long live the West Midlands accents and dialects! Bostin!
Thank you from Brazil! Now i can be a wild peaky blinder speaking idioms who no one understand while a walk in slow motion eating a cob and drinking pop (bad combination). Thank you again and tararabit.
Perhaps the French for "tararabit" is not "au revoir" but "à tout à l'heure" - it's a bit more colloquial and suggests a more imminent repeat meeting, as it were. "A tout à l'heure" was, as you may know, brought back to the UK by the soldiers of WW1 as "toodle -oo".
When I went back to the UK, from OZ, I went to a conference in Birmingham. At the breakfast café the girl said... "what tible noomber aarh you at ? " ... soo brummie !!
I'm a Brummie & my gran was always telling me to; clean my donnies, wash my fizzog and keep out the 'orse rowd. Oh and then we'd get the buzz into town.
I recall back in the mid 60's working at the old Velocette motorcycle in Brum. One day a group of us "youths" were talking, inevitably, about wimmen. We asked one of the older workers, Arthur Mo', how we would know when we were in love. In full lugubrious Brummie Arthur replied, " Yow'l know lads, being in luv is loik havin' a thousan' sparra's fly out of yer arse..." No answer to that is there?
The Black Country Museum has a channel on TikTok that has given me a leg up on the BC accent. Well, that and deciphering Ozzy's speech since the late 80's. :P If you could answer a question, on the BCM channel, one of the characters often 'greets" the viewer with "Warro, are kid." As he's an older gentleman in an older time, I'm guessing Warro is "what ho?" but the "are kid" to me sounds like it could be either "There kid" or possibly "Our kid." Could you advise?
Heyyy Ur doin astonishing... please keep some patience...soon yo channel will be on trending.... 🖤 Now I'm wondering why I don't see this channel earlier... 🖤🖤
i have nothing to do with this place i am just clarting about cus i got a cob on after hearing my accent so many times and after hearing this i am now from bost to bostn' Tararabit😊😊
I never realized when I imitate the english accent aside from rp i was speaking brummie - wouldn't clart about be easily mistaken for another less fortunate word? cutting it very close.
the language intrigues me aswell cos in the black country we use the word mush...alrite mush as in alrite mate.now the only other time ive heard mush being used is when you hear tyson fury speak and hes from manchester.i wonder where the word originates from and whether its a gypsy word but ive never known it to be.
Got a question ere? Is the West Bromwich accent the same as the Brummie accent. Cuz shame on me I went to a boarding school in Bradford and I totally forgot about my West Bromwich accent ( basically I had a northerner accent and I want my old accent back )
Still waiting for volume 2 and maybe 3 as that was just a few , there's opple , oss , wumm or umm , gizz as in giz a goo on yer bike and we all know what a foad is , right ?

People in the Gornal area of the Black Country can tell if you are from Upper or Lower Gornal or Gornal Wood.

Damn im going to be a French who talk with the Birmingham accent ! And good job for your videos!
I'm a Dutchy and when i speak english i speak with a standard uk accent. I really love to learn this accent in replacement 😎
If, by standard, you mean R.P., it is a fabricated accent not a real one. Interesting that the Birmingham accent is despised by non Birmingham people in the UK, but foreigners seem to like it.
Maybe because of the way they delivered the word like a strict way speaking is kinda strong approach like a boss 😊 sorry for my english
Do people pass you 'pon di left hand side?
You're very creative and fun. Underrated channel and great job!
Before watching peaky blinders I used to say "hey man" but now "oi mate"
I used to work in Telford (Shropshire) and they use "Round the Wrekin" Its the name of a local hill/peak (and local council area) that you have to go around as its impossible to drive over!! Probably where the expression originates?
Aye it is (born an bred in Telford). It's great for hikin up too!
Ah but do ya know why we'm called 'Yam yams'? It's because we say yam and not you are. So for example 'You are going, aren't you?' becomes 'Yam gewin, ay ya?' 😄👍
In Cov we call a Cob a batch. I think we’re the only place in the UK to use that

It’s like I’m back in my Hagley road flat now thinking about Tesco’s and whether to get a steak bake or sausage roll from Greg’s.
I have loads of fun with my two (not so now) little Hampshire Hogs, about many words that I use compared to what they use, in particular:
Cobs, pop, outdoor, pikelets, bath (not barth!), bostin, etc.
Bless them, they just don't gerrit!
Long live the West Midlands accents and dialects! Bostin!
Im a Hampshire hog born in Southampton but nowadays I live in Birmingham love the city of Birmingham
@@traceyhedges6792 ohhh dear a scummer eh lol
Still you escaped, and I'm sure Brum is far better than that place down the M27 😉🤣🤣🤣
Lol in california we call it soda. When I went to Oregon people said pop. Funny the same thing in the u.k 🇬🇧.
If ever I would learn to speak in an accent, in particular, it is going to be Birmingham. That's the magic of this video. Pure Peaky Blinders flavour.
I love the accent with all my heart

We use shrapnel for small change in Australia
Which town are you from? I’m from Tipton
Cool gerl! On natural! (в натуре!)
Hilarious. Love it
Tararabit maybe comes from tarry a bit or while? There's a southern US expression that is very similar.
It's a shortened version of ta-ra, see you in a bit. Some people in the UK, mostly older people, say ta-ra to mean goodbye.
@@ayeready6050 Interesting to know. Thanks!
I've said Tarar quite a few times in my life, I'm from Birmingham. But never Tararabit. I think that's mainly Black Country.
Big fan of you
Wonderful our kid, Small Heath born and bred and absolutely adore this. OK babb, tarraabit.
Wow ! What a smashing good end beautiful teacher !
Yeah, she‘s bostin!
Ye lass ye should visit over here in USA

Could someone point out some exact examples of these words in any episode of PB? I'd like to investigate how it was translated into my language :)
