Interesting etymology: Battery comes from a French word that meant "to strike", pretty obvious considering "assault and battery". However, battery, like an electronic battery, got its name through an analogy to an artillery battery since you would have a series of the individual cells together, reminiscent of how artillery works. Bat, as in the wooden club, comes from the same French word "to strike". Again, pretty easy to see the similarity. However, Bat, the animal, has a completely different etymology. It comes from a word (bakke) which meant "to flap", makes sense, but eventually morphed into bat over time and changes in pronunciation. Batter, as in the cooking term, apparently similarly is the French word, but refers to the process of making the batter which is giving the ingredients a good battering.
I was hoping for a concise answer so thank you for giving it to us! Goodness knows they weren’t going to after they reached the point of just discussing cave bat owls and fried fish
They can add the clip to the video of Yogs randomly savaging deceased famous people. It can go right after the clip of Ben saying "It better have an advantage against Steve Irwins."
While talking about how "science people" just make things more complicated than they need to be, for no reason. Makes me wanna ask: what was your degree in, again, Lewis?
@@Candlemancer I'm more talking about the fact that he just dragged everyone into this ridiculous argument, and then basically said "oh, nvm". He made things more complicated than he needed to be. And he was a science people.
Lewis' flip flop going from very angry that sporting equipment doesn't have unique names like parts of the human body to his calling scientists "pain the arse anal people"
Real talk: Most of the names we have for things are just compound nouns in a different language - probably French or Latin or German. Half our location names are just old speak for 'a hill with a tree' or 'the place that used to belong to Bob' and second names effectively function in a similar manner - 'the people from the field' or 'the son/daughter of Bob' or 'a blacksmith' etc.
Here in the US it's a mix of native names, names of European places, names of people, and the occasional oddball (Pekin, IL, Utopia, OH, Knockemstiff, OH). And last names... don't make any assumptions about someone's ancestry based on last names.
This may be my favorite episode in years. The chemistry with everyone was just *chefs kiss*. It almost seemed like they were having so much fun they forgot they were recording, and I loved it.
@@lleeoo110 what better way to point it out, than giving us an example? Also, everybody was cheating on this map cause it was so broken, and Duncan wasn't even the only one to point it out, but people always love to complain about a person in these videos
Me at the start: Wow, the bikes are ingenious at preventing the drivers from simply cheating by getting on the platform. Me 2 minutes later: Wow, the bikes are pointless. Seriously, could have fixed the biggest flaw in this self imposed gamemode by simply making a little gap at the end so only the bikes could get over. There also should be something the drivers can do to combat the deadly gear, otherwise who ever gets their first wins. Maybe give the winners things like helicopters with just guns rather than the rockets. And leave ramps so the cars can potentially kill the helicopters by crashing into them in the air.
Never mind sound illusions, I know at least one song by The Orb that's doing it on purpose. It has the Ghast from Minecraft's firing sound. I've actually jumped to the left in-game to avoid an imaginary fireball because of that song.
Duncan using the other team’s end zone weapons even though if it was the other way around he’d be whinging worse than anyone. Then Lewis complaining of cheating, with him being the worst cheater most of the time, is just pure Yogs. And that’s why I’m here and keep coming back.
Some owl mis-facts for you all: Owls turn their head 360 degrees, owls like all other birds can turn their heads 270 degrees (135 in each direction) Owls say twit twoo/ hoot, most owls make a horrible screeching sound Owls are nocturnal, this one is mostly true but you also get crepuscular owls (Dawn and Dusk) as well as diurnal owls (Daytime) Owls have amazing eyesight, owl eyes are fixed, far-sighted and binocular essentially like looking through binoculars 24/7, they will usually use sound to hunt their prey, not their eyes. I do a lot of falconry experiences so I speak to a lot of falconers, owls are very common falconry birds
Which came first, battery or battery? Battering someone with a bat? Or with a bat? Or perhaps a battery? Which came first, the barn owl or the barn? Or the k-vowel or the cave owl?
little known fact, baseball was originally played with bats but they were flying all over the place and later it was deemed inhumane so they had to find an alternative :D
I got very confused when they started talking about pasta and i was sure Ben said his favorite shape of pasta was 12. I was thinking brits have like a reference chart with numbered pasta shapes there for a while
barn owls actually have another common name - screech owls, 'cause they sound like someone being murdered. I'd guess thats what they used to get called before barns was invented
Lewis: "We don't need the big toe to be called a Latin name." Anyone who spoke Latin as a primary or secondary language over the last 2,000-whatever years, and anyone in a related medical profession today: "wat"
"All things should have a name"... The "Sports, golf culbs" Lewis mentioned do. Putter, Wedge, 5, 7, 9 Irons, Woods. Curling stones are called Rocks. Bocce has Pallinos, Badminton Birdies... Discus (actually, most track equipment)... Frisbee... There are probably more I'm forgetting, for some, like Curling, Hockey, or Badminton, you still want to name the sport to avoid confusion. Edit: I responded too soon xD
As someone who grew up on Tom & Jerry, I wish to take a moment to correct a statement; Jerry doesn't always win. Tom occasionally gets a win, and Jerry frequently gets rolled when Tom's not around. And now, back to your regularly scheduled GTA.
Tyto Alba. That's the barn owl's science name. Just to let you know. (And the "Alba" there actually implies that they're Scottish, as "Alba" is Scottish for Scotland.)
Tennis Racket & Baseball Bat don't have names. Racket, Bat... Tennis, you use a Racket, Baseball you use a bat. Soft Ball you use a bat. You literally just put the sports name in front of the name of the item lol Also Barn Owl, is not it's name. Tyto Alba is it's name, just commonly called Barn Owl.
Weren't they also called ghost owls? Anyway, baseball bats made at a specific place are Louisville Sluggers. It's the champagne equivalent of baseball bats.
@@tuffy135ify Yeah, the name changes depending on their colour lmao That's cool, we have a place like that in Aus but for Cricket Bats, the entire Aus team gets them from one guy & they're all hand made.
The green needle/brain storm thing isn't an auditory illusion, it's a trash speaker in a toy. The toy is for a Ben 10 alien the main character calls "Brainstorm".
With their talk about hearing their phone ring in songs, reminded me of the song World In Motion , topical I know, however there is a part during the John Barnes rap, where it tricks my brain into thinking my Mum is calling my name from another room in the house. 20 years on and it still happens, even though my Mum is long gone, strange how the brain works.

Can we appreciate that Lewis had changed sides in an argument he started by the end of this video
by the end of the video? he'd swapped sides within minutes
he really asks, argues, and answers his own questions :P
The ol’ Triforce experience
It's the _other_ Yogscast Guarantee: Lewis will always contradict himself.
Lewis screaming in rage is always too funny.
14:15 for salt
Ngl, that short dogfight between Duncan and Ped on their flying podracer bikes looked pretty rad
IKR, makes me want to see that as its own gamemode!
Not gonna lie?! Do you normally lie in similar situations? Now I don't know if I can trust you. Trust is important in a relationship, jordinagel.
Kirsty's character is now just as bizarre as the others at last. She's been fully initiated as was foretold
Interesting etymology:

Batter, as in the cooking term, apparently similarly is the French word, but refers to the process of making the batter which is giving the ingredients a good battering.
Imagine if the word never evolved and Bakkeman would have become a thing...
A battery batter bat with a bat did a battery on a batter making batter at a battery.
@@wadeking4054 Truly it's the Sports people that are unimaginative!
I was hoping for a concise answer so thank you for giving it to us! Goodness knows they weren’t going to after they reached the point of just discussing cave bat owls and fried fish
So the word "bat" comes from bukkake?
Well, they do spread a lot of disease. So maybe it's appropriate.
OMFG Bouphe's Stephen Hawking joke literally made me spit all over my monitor 🤣
fucking savage 😂
I hadn't laughed out loud so much with a gta video in years
He has passed away, so he definitely can't run.
They can add the clip to the video of Yogs randomly savaging deceased famous people. It can go right after the clip of Ben saying "It better have an advantage against Steve Irwins."
i threw my headphones
"I am here, fight me."
"Alright."
"Wait, hang on, you've got a gun, that's--"
And now my coffee is on my keyboard.
The comedic timing on it is just impeccable, too!
the "alright" ended me
"Bouphe... you're looking amazing. Ose. [silence. A tumbleweed rolls by]" - Lewis intro, 2022
Lewis, master seducer.
Welcome to today's episode of brain rot where Lewis complains about something and argues his way into thinking the complete opposite.
While talking about how "science people" just make things more complicated than they need to be, for no reason.
Makes me wanna ask: what was your degree in, again, Lewis?
he reminds me of my mom. sometimes i feel like they are talking just to say something😂😂
@@weebjeez I mean it's consistent with his original argument of "everything should have unique individual names"
@@Candlemancer I'm more talking about the fact that he just dragged everyone into this ridiculous argument, and then basically said "oh, nvm".
He made things more complicated than he needed to be. And he was a science people.
@@weebjeez I doubt Lewis ever contributed to actually naming anything though.
Now I'm imagining scientists discovering a bat that's really into eating crickets and not really knowing what to call it.
Scientists have named things "Sonic Hedgehog" and "Han Solo" in the past. They'd be memey enough to roll with "Cricket Bat"
@@heyheyitsjae2475 Or, you know, we'd just name it after the person who identified it and go about our day. That happens a lot too.
@@mentaya11 What if the guy discovering it is called Mr/Ms Cricket?
@@DantalionNL1 Well Jiminy! I never thought of that!
Osie getting one tapped by the gun whip is so hilarious
14:00 Philosophers of language angrily debating lol
Bouphe with her Stephen Hawkings comment. In the same line as Ben's comment about Steve Irwin the other week. Fucking brilliant.
Yup, but Ben's was wrong on just one level.. Bouphe's on at least 2 haha
just gotta love the conversation these people have while racing, covered such a wide range of subjects.
well bouphe is going wild, with today's episode. I was not expecting the shade today.
Lewis' flip flop going from very angry that sporting equipment doesn't have unique names like parts of the human body to his calling scientists "pain the arse anal people"
That was one of the most bonkers chaotic rambly episodes yet and i love. it.

16:29 don't worry Ravs, I heared your joke.
This may be my favorite episode in years. The chemistry with everyone was just *chefs kiss*. It almost seemed like they were having so much fun they forgot they were recording, and I loved it.
Its like lewis has this passive ability to survive instakill weapons.
I think they just haven't realized melee weapons in gta have an execution animation and a normal attack. Which is why they one shot sometimes.
This episode was gold! 😂
I thought ben was asking if it was called battery because you hit somebody with the animal - bat. The chat has been great the last couple of episodes.
17:19 to hear Duncan struggle to pronounce 'onomatopoeia' and then quietly abandon the attempt.
Onomatapeeing
@20:22 Everyone having a genuine conversation..
Ozzie; Testicles
Lewis losing his mind over sports equipment comes so out of nowhere I'm pretty sure I woke my neighbours up laughing
Funniest GTA in a while! Had me in stitches throughout, keep it up
"Wait hang on, you've got a gun! That's-" poor Ose 😂
yogs talking about bats and crickets
osie : testicles !
everyone : huh ? 😕
Every video.
Duncan actively trying to cheat: "This game mode is broken"
it was broken, cause it was so easy to cheat, that was what he was pointing out. it shouldn't be easy to cheat, so it's broken
I mean to be fair it was actually the rest of the gang that was acting out of character this time by NOT trying to cheat.
@@The_Disturber pointing it out is not the same as cheating while pointing it out
@@lleeoo110 what better way to point it out, than giving us an example?
Also, everybody was cheating on this map cause it was so broken, and Duncan wasn't even the only one to point it out, but people always love to complain about a person in these videos
It's creative use of game mechanics
"What else has a cue?"
Ravs: "A keyboard."
Genius.
"Wait, hold on a minute, you've got a gun!"
Ravs’s holler at 7:40 really threatened to blow out my speakers
Rav's is right. A keyboard does have Q.
Funniest episode in a while! Bouphe and Ose both had me rolling. Steven Hawking's testacles.
Hawking taking random hits from Bouphe, he's not going to be able to walk after those!
Me at the start: Wow, the bikes are ingenious at preventing the drivers from simply cheating by getting on the platform.
Me 2 minutes later: Wow, the bikes are pointless.
Seriously, could have fixed the biggest flaw in this self imposed gamemode by simply making a little gap at the end so only the bikes could get over. There also should be something the drivers can do to combat the deadly gear, otherwise who ever gets their first wins. Maybe give the winners things like helicopters with just guns rather than the rockets. And leave ramps so the cars can potentially kill the helicopters by crashing into them in the air.
The best part about the Stephen Hawking joke is that he cant run; because he is dead. Same reason Hellen Keller can’t drive.
"O Building Man, O Building Man..."
2:13 Bouphe: "The louder you scream, the faster it goes". Then, if Lollipopgi were in these sessions, she'd be supersonic.
I appreciate that lewis is always interested in learning new things, and keeps an open mind.
omfg, i died at the steven hawking and 'most wise people probably can't run' LMAO!
It think the song that Duncan was talking about is: Knife Party - Internet friends. At around the 1.30 mark of that song an Iphone is ringing
The argument of sports devices and other names is excellent.
Bats are cave owls in a way. Etymology is so fascinating
I'm sorry but spaghetti is objectively the best pasta shape. I'm not just saying this because I got 3 kg of free spaghetti, I promise.
Look out folks, we have a big spaghet shill in the comments
Ben: What else has a cue besides snooker Lewis: A pool cue Ravs: A keyboard
I hear you and i appreciate you ravvsy
"It's _knuckle,_ you idiot. _Knuckle_ sandwich, you sound like a fool when you get it wrong!"
Omfg the Stephen Hawking call was so out of pocket hahahaha so funny 😂
Omg this episode was just pure gold between the cave owls and bouphes remark about hawking i about died.
I was gonna say the title moment never happened but it did.
It's when Ravs ran over Bouphe as she was trying to eat a sandwich.
No one:
Not a single soul:
Osie: "Testicles."
She may not know what's going on but she knows what she likes.
Golf clubs have names. You have woods, irons, drivers, chippers and putters.
Im so upset that noone reacted to Rav's "A keyboard" joke.
This was an amazing video haha, constant laughs
"Hallux" is the currently accepted medical term for the big toe.
Brilliant episode. Wonderful gameplay shenanigans in the front half, excellent discussion in the back. Just brilliant.
Never mind sound illusions, I know at least one song by The Orb that's doing it on purpose. It has the Ghast from Minecraft's firing sound. I've actually jumped to the left in-game to avoid an imaginary fireball because of that song.
Duncan's constant W mentality does get a bit stale
19:36 heh, The big toe probably has a Latin name because the ancient Romans named it when they found it.
Duncan using the other team’s end zone weapons even though if it was the other way around he’d be whinging worse than anyone. Then Lewis complaining of cheating, with him being the worst cheater most of the time, is just pure Yogs. And that’s why I’m here and keep coming back.

great episode
On June 17, 1890, Emile Kinst patented the ball-bat, or banana bat. The bat is shaped with a curve, hence the name banana bat.
Bat (sports implement) comes from batt (old English cudgel) or bata (Gaelic cudgel) later enforced by the French batte (pestle) which is also derived from Latin battre (to beat). All pretty much comes from "to beat/strike" and later the implements used to beat/strike became known as bats.
Noticed during the races since Ped stopped trolling he's been racking up wins.
