For those of you who didn't quite understand about being 'trolleyed'. More often than not, when you go into a supermarket here the trolley has four wheels that don't go together in a straight line but go wherever they want, so you end up going all over the place as when you are drunk.

Now I’d rewritten some pieces of lyrics of songs and sung them ..They were for people getting through the dreadful pandemic all over the world .I hope I could ispire peolpe more positive and optimistic by the special lyrics and singing. I’d done my best, at least I tried it .I hope that would be a good example for you all who are following Lucy’s English class and learning English online all over the world ,I hope that would be a inspiration and stimulation for you all . I’d posted these songs online.Such as some Chinese songs:《感谢》、《希望日红日》、《春节在哪里》《中国欢乐颂》，English songs :《let’s make our lives lovely》，《Let’s unite together to make the world lovely 》《we will regain joy pretty soon》，for children《Little baby we love you 》was for children…(they were on my TH-cam ,Facebook account and my Microblog acount: 18688819328 as well, please take a look at them if you have time ）… Please forgive me being rude .Because I am so earnest to spread those positive songs .I’d really aprreciate you all if you can spread the positive songs I’ve posted on my account over the internet, such as Facebook ,TH-cam ,Twitter or whatever you got .If people can hear it , It will possibly make people regain faith,strength and joy ,to relieve upset ,pain and worries.

This is definitely one of your best videos!😊💙 I LOVED IT!! ❤What I liked most was the different accents in the examples... I'm still laughing about it. 😂 You're such a great teacher... 😊 If TH-cam would let me put more likes on it, I definitely would... ☺️ Excellent video, excellent work as always! 😊
Amazing video to start the year, "propper" is my favorite word , in spanish in Ecuador it's more common to say "coronastes" when someone has had sex but now it is among young people It's more common to say "El delicioso " in reference to sex
This comment is just to make the logarithm on TH-cam realize that I am interested in the content of this channel, I congratulate and thank you for the information in the video.
this is very helpful!! I really like how you act the word out (and in a funny way too haha) also I'm proud to say I knew 4 of these words thanks to louis tomlinson
Cheers, brilliant, and right are other good ones! Some of these are used in America too, but not by too many people. I think we both enjoy using accents just as much though!

Hi Tom. What a such important video! Thanks a lot. I love the British accent. I'm proper interested in you new book. When comes the paper version up? Let me know an thanks in advance. Greetings from Germany🙂
Great video! Just looked up your book on Amazon but I see it's only available as an ebook at the moment. Will there be more paperbacks available in the future? Thanks!
But where does ’how’s your father’ come from?! We definitely have euphemisms for sex in Finnish too, but nothing father-related (that I’m aware of...) 😂
Excellent channel! ⭐️ I saw you on Jess’s Love & London channel. Suggestion: compare Canadian and British. We 🇨🇦 have a tendency to be half-way in accent and spelling.
Sir, I'm from Sri Lanka I'm fond of watching your English videos. Could you please make Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara's prounction video? Please sir
Here in Paraguay, we use a euphemism frase in guaraní (our second native language) to refer to sex "shiki iki" (ˈʃiki 'iki), it's an onomatopoeia frase refering to the sound the bed makes when you jump or move on it quickly 😆
-Honey, I've just cooked a pork pie, would you like to taste it? It's probably my best one -No thanks, my dear. Your best pork pie was when you told me that you were good at cooking...
The euphemism for sex in Thai is "(พวกเขา)มีอะไรกัน" "(Puak Kao) Mee A Rai Kan" "(They) did something together" มี _ Mee _ Have (same meaning of there is) อะไร _ A Rai _ What กัน _ Kan _ together (shorten of "ด้วยกัน" "Duai Kan") probably a little bit direct, everyone can understand other words are just some silly sound no meaning, but if you know, you know.
Hello, thank you for you interesting lesson. If INNIT can replace any question tag, is it correct English grammar ? I'd rather say "do you" or "don't you " as a non-native English speaker.
I would say when you take an exam, or at school, in formal environment it is definitely not correct grammar....only use it in informal conversation, if you want to sound British.. However, in my opinion it sounds funny coming from a non-native English speaker..
The origins seem to be a bit unclear but one suggestion is that it was used by a Music Hall entertainer Harry Tate in his performances to avoid saying the word 'sex'. It caught on with the audience and became a phrase that stuck in our lexicon.
In Italy, we have just one question tag: vero/non è vero. It's much easier because we use it in all cases and in all persons. Ex: gli piace andare al cinema, vero? He likes going to the cinema, doesn't he?
Really? Ahh that's cool. I think we do share a lot of vocab between us. I know we use some of yours so I guess it makes sense for you guys to use some of ours too.
Hey ,Marlene, the second print run has finally arrived and I'm sending them to Amazon on Monday. The paperback should be available to you by the end of next week. Thanks so much for enquiring!
We use euphemis for politics in Arabic, say you want to say that someone has been persecuted but don't want people to understand cause they might persecute you too. So you say ( he went to his cousin's house) which means he has been persecuted and now in prison

Hi Tom! Great lesson, thanks! Why not proper book ‘A really British guide to English’, not just the kindle edition, for old fashioned people like me?

Dear Tom, can "innit" replace "isn't he?" and a question tag related to the past? such as" didn't you?". Thanks a lot 😉
Don't know the answer to that but you can probably use "right?" as another short alternative
Yes you can!

Great to have you back Tom,hope you are doing well :)
Your channel is very nice.

In Mexican Spanish there are a lot of euphemisms, but they are mostly used in the friend group. Not to avoid any taboo topic but to be funny.

Hello! Amazing video, loved it. Is not your book not available as a paperback anymore? Because Amazon has it as kindle format
Two proper famous euphemisms for How's your father in German are "rocking the bed" and "to noodle someone". Actually pretty creative, innit?
I reckon you should drop in Benugo Cafe , If you go to Covent Garden. They make proper delicious apricot tarts.
Your acting becomes better and better everyday
Love your videos!
How's your father, This one is hilarious oh gosh 😂😂😂😂😂😂 We do use euphemisms in Arabic too
-Honey, I've just cooked a pork pie, would you like to taste it? It's probably my best one
-No thanks, my dear. Your best pork pie was when you told me that you were good at cooking...
Hehehe very good!
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish Many thanks, mate 😊
@@leserge7823 Mate is rude to use to a stranger
@@jillhobson6128 Why do you think he's a stranger to me?
My favourite is 'what are you like!? when someone is being silly or funny. Use it all the time. Think it was originally Irish.
British in 10 words: "I say, that's jolly frightful innit......by jove it is".
ahhhhh what a funny video! I hope I get the chance to go to the UK at least one time!
Impressive as usual mate!
The euphemism for sex in Thai is "(พวกเขา)มีอะไรกัน" "(Puak Kao) Mee A Rai Kan" "(They) did something together"
มี _ Mee _ Have (same meaning of there is)
อะไร _ A Rai _ What
กัน _ Kan _ together (shorten of "ด้วยกัน" "Duai Kan")
probably a little bit direct, everyone can understand
other words are just some silly sound no meaning, but if you know, you know.
I love how you tried to find a picture of a pub and ended up choosing a photo of a hotel bar from the 1910s.
In Taiwan either you want a “Fried rice” or you wanna “hey-shoh” (sound of doing something with quite physical effort).
Hi, Tom! Thanks for the cool video!
I'm a bit puzzled, why did you use "it WERE a cracking night"?
8:02 she don't...
8:08 she's fell...

Great to know ! I wanted to buy your book but amazon said it was not available for now, will it be back soon? :)
In Italy, we have just one question tag: vero/non è vero. It's much easier because we use it in all cases and in all persons.
Ex: gli piace andare al cinema, vero?
He likes going to the cinema, doesn't he?
1. Practice the "glottal stop."
2. Avoid the rhotic "r."
3. Pronounce "th" as "v."
4. Pronounce "th" as "f "
