--- • 7 Harmless American Wo...
Welcome back, Loners! In this video, we look at some American words that Brits might find strange or rude. It was pretty entertaining to see certain words we are used to might end up being rude in the UK. If you enjoy our content, please make sure to like and subscribe. Also, head over to our vlog channel for more personal content. Thank you all :) - บันเทิง
The liberal use of the "c" word by uk and Australians 😂
Same in the UK it always makes me laugh when americans get shocked by it 😂
As a kid I was watching on tv the film Barefoot in the Park with my parents. In that Jane Fonda mentions the term Fanny meaning Bottom. But in England smelling salts and vodka had to be found to revive my parents who were in a swoon at the term. I was immediately sent upstairs to the attic where I was locked away until such terms became a mere memory and perhaps it was just a dream. We don't have therapy in England we just ignore each other until the embarrassment goes away.
Proving yet again that "Fanny By Gaslight" is a strange form of lighting to have been introduced into the _domestic_ setting
...though previously (perhaps?) found best suitable in a 'whore's boudoir' ...?! (Yes, I've no worries when typing certain words which may shock or offend our '50_States' cousins...?!!)
Fud , apart from being a rabbit's tail is the word for a fanny in Scotland ( front bottom type fanny).
I always think that the phrase "front bottom" sounds _so weird_ ... It's like someone's calling someone else "an arsehole" _twice over_ ... WoW !! They must be _really_ horrid people, if so?!! 🤔🥺😳😮
Oh jeez, Lost in the Pond meant well when he first started, but even I think he's SO out of touch with the UK nowadays, and I'm pushing 80!
Nope we don’t find any of them words offensive think he’s been out the country to
Long when did he leave 1890
Americans always find the C word disgusting but in the UK we use it every day it's a none event. Also a bummer in the UK is an old way to call someone gay
Seems a strange thing to call a homosexual when you think about it...Oh I get it now. Bumming is anal sex. How the world has changed! Most straight people are bummers now lol x probably explains the low birth-rate hehe
I hadn't really heard of 'bummer' in that sense...the one I heard most often, was "shirt-lifter"
...all of which now makes me cringe, for personal reasons...as two of my close relatives are gay (they're fraternal twins)
...and I didn't know until they were both celebrating their 21st birthdays... I felt bad because I feel I should've known, and "been there" for them, to support them as they were growing up, but I hadn't been aware, and so I let them down. I can't change that, so try instead to be supportive now, and hope that's acceptable.
@@brigidsingleton1596 unless they had that gay voice and ran like a girl you wouldn't have any clues, everything seems obvious in hindsight so don't feel too bad.
@@mattsmith5421
Thank-you 🖖...but one of them _is_ a girl...
...plus, as their Mum, I feel I ought to have realised it. 🤔😟
@brigidsingleton1596 I'm from Derbyshire in the 80s 90s we used bummer and we also used shirt-lifter
I doubt a majority of Brits would think of American words as being "rude" !! We were raised watching so many American programmes that we know many of their words and phrases, and so often, they can't be seen as anything other than "_just_ an _American_ word or phrase" and either funny, silly or just unusual or unnecessary!!
Of course, Lawrence gets a lot of things wrong and these examples are merely another of his misguided ideas ... Also, it might also be because so many Americans (at least of the US) are _so_ prudish, so easily offended by simple things ...like insisting that simply _swearing_ is offensive, and must always be said to be "using profanity" or "cussing", and silly, childish alternative words such as "gosh darn", "dang", "fricking" etc are used instead of "oh god", "damn", or "f🦆ing" etc! 😐😏🤔☺️🖖
The US are so bad at swearing its a bit funny when you hear it in person.
@@AutoAlligator
That could mean...😏 They're _bad_ at swearing, (nowhere near as good as us Brits or - and especially - the Aussies...) 🤔
Or, they're really _quite good_ at swearing, (though not anywhere near as good as us Brits, nor - especially - the Aussies...) ??! 🤔
For a french the double negative is very upseting .
I ain't seen nobody
for a french mean you have seen someone !
for us you either see nobody or havent see anybody
if you dont have see no one that mean you have see someone !
Well nope not one was even slightly rude
“Fud” in Scotland also means the same as Fanny. An English Department store not too long ago advertised a dragon children’s toy called ‘fud’ and had to rebrand it, because of all the mockery from Scots online. There’s probably a bigger difference between Scotland and England than UK/US at least more accidental use of funny/rude words by English companies advertising in Scotland. Social media is full of “Why they should have a Scot on their marketing team” posts.
You like Simon Pegg? My favourite tv comedy series was called 'Faith in the Future', the second & remaining series of which featured a very early Simon Pegg at his brilliant best.
5:20 " I took a deep dive into bum. He's hilarious.
This bloke is neither funny nor up to date with his forays into uk life at the present time.
Are you feeling sad?
In the verb tense, to "bum" or be "bummed" means something else again.
P.S. Don't worry about offending Brits with words. The practically invented them.
Your Mrs is a Barrel of Laughs mate
6:03 using an axe wrong, never forget to twist or it just gets stuck :/
Don't know which of you is cooler ,she is in front ,just.her don't give a shit attitude is cool.Hello from Scotland
What? Fanny = bum? I'm confused now....
'Fanny' can, and has been used as a girl / lady's name, (often shortened from 'Frances')
However... 'Bum' is far _less_ likely to be used that way ...though, in America, perhaps in Quaker -type homesteads, who knows...as they _apparently_ can /do call their offspring (or townships) such _unusual_ names as 'Intercourse', and 'Fornication' etc...😳🥺🤔
Rickys from birmingham,
I never understood "bum bag" as it's always over the fanny.....
Depends where you're standing... It's over the bum at the back so, a 'bum bag' obviously....😏 Only 'American parlance' suits the wearing of it at the front, and designating it as a 'fannypack'!! 🤔

Who...?
Go anywhere but London or the home counties and you'll find irreverent, dry humour with a very healthy cynicism. The direction, spin, cause and thrust of the humour will depend greatly upon where you are. There is a lot of banter, playful insults, be careful not to misunderstand or misuse them. Make sure they're friends and get your humour.
You know you're friends when they insult you to your face, if they're polite that's how we keep our distance. Banter is privileged communication. It's not meant to hurt you, it's above that.
What's up with us Londoners, then..,why do you think we can't give as good as we get and still be able to laugh at the concept?!🤔🙁
@@brigidsingleton1596 Londoners are very different. London collectively is a very different place, like Birmingham, Derby, Bradford ... The big cities are not the same. There's a strong cultural differentiation and that's evident in a city of 9 million people.
It's probably true the world over, Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi) is not Thailand.
@@daveofyorkshire301
That's as maybe but your entire sentence:
"Go anywhere but London or the home counties and you'll find irreverent, dry humour with a very healthy cynicism." seems to me to perfectly encapsulate the humour of Londoners...at least the humour I grew up with.
Your own personal experience of London and it's citizens must be vastly different to my own...to which part of our Capital are you referring, I wonder, or are you tarring us all with the same brush as the one (or few) area/s to which you appear to hold little regard, humour-wise? 🤔😐
@@brigidsingleton1596 Nothing wrong with that sentence, the fact you think your the same as none Londoners is more telling of you than me. City life is not the same and the people who live it takes years to decompress into any none city paced of life. Some simply can't adapt.
If you still doubt the difference, where was the support for the EU, IN LONDON 9 million, 13% of the population who voted against leaving the EU. The other 35% all big cities reaping the financial benefits irrespective of the cost to sovereignty and self governance. That's a different mindset for you. Do you really think you're the same?
Comedians performing in London flip the script like they do in foreign countries, to suit the audience. The same way politicians do, the same one will tell you one thing up here and the opposite down there.
London and Londoners think they're inline with the rest of the country but if there's one thing that BREXIT proved were nowhere near. Since humour is as much about environment and perspective how do you think you have the same basis or expectation of humour with a radically different perspective to major issues?

Not all of London is lived by "city life" citizens! Yet those of us living outside in different zones are still Londoners... My visits are regular and fairly frequent (roughly monthly 'Guys'), next appt. to 'St.Thomas' in mid August, since April) and despite only being about a mile or so away from my home, 'University Lewisham Hospital' is a fortnightly visit... My abodes have been in SE13, SE4, SE5, & three in SE6...all London.
