I think this is the first time a video is 0 dislike. I always see atleast 1 dislike but this video seems to be a hit. People love the topic. I must say Tom- it is beautifully crafted.
I don't know why while I watching this video I have a call of nature. Thank you so much for introducing us to lots of euphemism which is very useful when we hear it
As an ESL Teacher, I thought this one was great fun! Thinking I need to make a list of the American terms used here. I actually learned a few new British phrases. Thanks for sharing!
😃Me started watching this mouth full of noodles 🍝 Tom : TOILET BOG KHAZI LOO LAVATORY JOHN DUNNY JACKS FACILITIES 0:06 We love talking about toilets in “ENGLISH” 🚽 Me : well, that’s a good start 😥😬🥴🤢😞🤪😅🤣🥺
I'm a native American English speaker, but also somewhat of an anglophile. I'm so pleased that I've found your channel! I love learning new British words and phrases and trying out new British accents. I really hope that I can visit your lovely country someday after the borders open back up. Cheers mate!
It's very interesting and truly useful too but, forgive me Tom, I'm still laughing amused 😄 .......it's so hilarious, bravo! You're really brilliant 👏 😄 👏
@@toddperman8265 He was very nice and funny, wasn’t he? 😃 He "handled" a not-so-easy topic without losing elegance even on the potentially grosser aspects. Hi 👋
the Americans name 'toilet' a 'restroom'. Which is quite hilarious...because to me a restroom is a place where you can meditate. And can you meditate comfortably in a toilet?
@@toddperman8265 Off course 😊 I absolutely don't mind the Americans and their style of speaking 😊 but being a total fan of BrE 'restroom' still sounds quite a funny word to me. I am Polish btw.
Oh my crown! How cool this video is) First of all this video is super informative and useful actually. And also I like how you explain everything, it's like an acting for addition, I mean you're really very good in acting. Great work ✨
In the US we say bathroom or restroom over 90% of the time. Facilities is used euphemistically, and John is a somewhat lower brow term for it. In camping settings people will say latrine. Some military people say head.
A few years ago, I was traveling through York with representatives of a religious order, in short, nuns and others. Every time we had to stop the sisters were good about telling us where we could go to "refresh ourselves." We Americans on the trip thought that was a brilliant phrase and have been using it ever since. Don't forget Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, who talks about not only doing a wee-wee, but also a wee jobby. That would be for number two.
Also, on Texas highways (I don't know about other states), there are "Rest Areas" which have buildings with bathrooms, and outside there are picnic tables.
No puede ser ....lo que me río viendo estos vídeos...la cara de Tom cuando dice "that's too much information"...😂😂😂😂...los profes deberían ser así, más distendidos a la hora de enseñar...Gracias!!
In Brazil we say "I'm gonna send a fax" (vou passar um fax) for a "number 2"... I have no idea of what's the relation of a facsimile with the act of going to the toilet, but it's funny!
You forgot “washroom” which is very (English-speaking) Canadian. We say bathroom and restroom as well but Washroom is what you’ll see on the door or whatever of a public toilet. You almost never see “bathroom”. It’s usually washroom or restroom. I don’t like it when I hear people say they have to use the “bathroom” when in public. Is there a bathtub in there? Lol Washroom makes more sense as you wash your hands (hopefully!) Lol
I had a friend when I was in high school whose parents would say "I'm visiting uncle John/aunt Jane." If you look at some floorplans for older public buildings where people would go dressed in their finest, such as theatres and night clubs, you might find a "powder room" which was a fancy women's bathroom. Hence, "I'm going to powder my nose" is something a lady says when she doesn't want to be crude. A euphemism for pooping that I like (but don't use) is "dropping the kids off at the pool."
A few terms/euphemisms that I have heard that were not in the video: commode, pot/potty, throne; the stinky, outdoor, individual toilets on construction sites I have heard called "port-a-potty."
About number 1, number 2... I've heard a variation with a rhyming slang connection, where number two stands for the same thing as here, but number 1 is actually number three, because it rhymes with pee. Known to anyone?
To get cut short in America means you're getting ready to poo. It means you have to find a bathroom right away, or, you know what happens next! It's a very old fashioned term here. Lol
Something I really don't understand is why in UK you still have two different taps for cold and hot water. I know it has old origins, but it can be found in modern houses as well. Why?!?!?
In Dutch, there are similar phrases for number one and number two: 'kleine boodschap' (small errand = number one) and 'grote boodschap' (big errand = number two).
this vídeo might seem silly but it could be so useful
You do need to learn about all sorts of vocab for your every day situation, innit?
This why I tell people in the UK that my name is Louie and not Lou ;)
There is another word for toilet that I saw in Canada: washroom...It's funny, it sounds as if it is a room where you keep your washing machine! LOL
Yeah, although the room where you keep the washing machine would be the utilites room. Right?
@@bittorrentsdownload In the south we say utility room.
Must land here with a like! Always amazing content and great tips! Thank you mate.

hi, tom. this one reminds me of the polite vs impolite tom lesson and the sentence. oi! show me where the bog is. it always makes me laugh
I don't know why while I watching this video I have a call of nature. Thank you so much for introducing us to lots of euphemism which is very useful when we hear it
My name is Lulu and to avoid confusion I use the words Lavatory (which was a word I learnt at my secondary school)
I really enjoy your lessons, Morrissey!
Does anyone use the phrase "I'm gonna me John about a dog." I bloody love it
As an ESL Teacher, I thought this one was great fun! Thinking I need to make a list of the American terms used here. I actually learned a few new British phrases. Thanks for sharing!

0:06 We love talking about toilets in “ENGLISH” 🚽
Me : well, that’s a good start 😥😬🥴🤢😞🤪😅🤣🥺
Hahahaha, I loved ALL the examples!! So hilarious hahaha. I love your videos, Tom.
I like the phrase " comfort break" :))))

That's so nice to hear even Natives enjoy watching vids on both the English language and the culture of a different anglophone country :)
@@aikantikasur philia means love or loving in Greek or Latin or something. So an Anglophile is a person who loves or is interested in England.
Right, the borders are open. Have you visited England, mate?
It is very useful thank you Tom

Hi 👋
Thanks for the lesson Tom! Greetings from Russia)
Thumbs up! You could be a great actor. You have the makings of an actor and great voice. Try auditioning. Keep it up! You rock!
A-ha! That's why they call toilet paper "bog roll" in the UK! Also, I've always equated "lavatory" to the toilet on an aeroplane.
Haha same
In Polish we have sentence for a toilet: The place, where the king goes alone”
The same in Hungarian, literally, however kings wouldn’t be sitting on their own throughout centuries...
In German we say "the place where the king walks to (goes on foot instead of being carried)" 😊
ahahaahh love when you pretend to speak with your daughter/son ahahha thanks for your videos
😂😂 I don't think the "wizz air" (the airflight company) will be happy about that connection 🙈🙈😂😂
In French, long time ago , we used to call this place : water closed or WC
in german speaking countries we still do this
Did you mean water closest ?
@@toddperman8265 right! Water closet with a T not a D
మంచి వీడియో. ధన్యవాదములు🙏
I would never have thought that in this topic you can find so many words 😂
At last someone opened the great secret! Thank you very much!
Hilarious and useful at the same time. Tom, you’re the very best indeed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In Newcastle they sometimes use netty
I LOVED that American accent😂😂😂
Amazing. Thank you Tom
Tom am from Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇷 plz do mre videos about cockeny accent
Seriously! Do I use them often without knowing what do they mean?!
Powder my nose in America means snort cocaine.
Great different accents, Tom.
"Have a think" made me laugh harder than all the rest. 😂🤣 I'm going to start using that here in the states.
This is one of the best videos you've posted Tom. excellent idea. What would life be without toilets? Cheers for that
the Americans name 'toilet' a 'restroom'. Which is quite hilarious...because to me a restroom is a place where you can meditate. And can you meditate comfortably in a toilet?
Restroom just sounds more polite, especially when in a restaurant.
Because the toilet is the actual object in the room that is being. So restroom is used. In school we did call it a lavatory.
I know people who have a good time for thinking in toilet, so I can say they "make meditate".
@@toddperman8265 Off course 😊 I absolutely don't mind the Americans and their style of speaking 😊 but being a total fan of BrE 'restroom' still sounds quite a funny word to me. I am Polish btw.
@@lucynk-aqz-ska4118 yeah, contemplation is a good thing, isnt it? 😊

U r so passion it when teach English Tom

Superb.
But the spelling of euphemism is wrongly displayed in the video.
Here in Rome we are more polite... Number one we'd say "I'm going to change the olives' water"
che buffo! non la sapevo !
I think Khazi comes from the mispronunciation of Kamikaze， Kaze in Japanese means "Wind". I mean: If you pass wind, nature's calling you.
Hi Tom! Nice video! I’m wondering where does Khazi and Jack or John comes from?
This is how I know the English language is overly complex. 28 words for somewhere to take a dump! Madness
The end got me, I'm still laughing so hard😂😂 Your improvisations are just gorgeous, Tom! "What a plonker"👍😄😂😂
2:17 Ah, I use Men's when I'm in a pub.
The wazzer.
Hi Tom what is your accent? Received pronunciation? Are there other accents in it? Thank u 4 ur vidios
So used to saying bog and loo i don't even think about it anymore 🤣

Hi there Tom, as for you new book, can it b found in bookstores at all?thx
Wizz Air is a name of discounter flight company. Looks like they do not want clients to expect too much comfort ))
So funny!
Long drop (NZ).

7:00 « Pee-Wee » 😅
Sits in the washroom and doing a toilet tutorial 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂
I started laughing just from your first sentence 😂
I have seen a roadside toilet block called a "comfort station" in Australia.
I can assure you that Australians don't actually say that 😅
About your book, it's currently unavailable (in paperbook) I would like to buy one....Do you know when it will be back in stock at Amazon?
A few terms/euphemisms that I have heard that were not in the video: commode, pot/potty, throne; the stinky, outdoor, individual toilets on construction sites I have heard called "port-a-potty."
Water loo is where Napoleon had been flushed ? 😉
America says Bathroom
About number 1, number 2... I've heard a variation with a rhyming slang connection, where number two stands for the same thing as here, but number 1 is actually number three, because it rhymes with pee. Known to anyone?
"Just took a huge dump"
Lay a brick.
Squeeze one off.
Let the little bears go into the bush
👍
Hi, Tom! Isn't “bog” a little bit rude? TNX X
7th comment lol
you forgot WC/water closet
for number two,i say: i need to bomb.
*Topic for toilet* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
To get cut short in America means you're getting ready to poo. It means you have to find a bathroom right away, or, you know what happens next! It's a very old fashioned term here. Lol
What a funny video.....! Don, t you use.... To see a man above a dog, anymore?
I think you mean "I'm going to see a man about a dog"! You're right, it is old-fashioned!
@@pmkearn thanks....
I missed "take a leak" for urinate
Lazy homophobia at 3.49, Tom. I thought you were above that sort of dated stereotyping.
Really......get a grip
@@CaponeCabin A grip on what?
I really really don't mean to sound offence but it sounds like you have a lisp. Is this English the first language .sounds so different
Don’t say the shitter?
Potty
I did not like this
Thanks for such an original lesson, Tom!! Great acting skills!! :)
That's too much information 😂😂😂
In catalan we use the phrase: I’m going to meet Mr Roca. Roca is a common lavatories manufacturer. 😅
The school toilets in Scotland were the shunkies , after Shanks of Barrhead , famous toilet manufacturers.
First comment yayyy
Something I really don't understand is why in UK you still have two different taps for cold and hot water. I know it has old origins, but it can be found in modern houses as well. Why?!?!?
7:45 no... if you are an english teaching person, you should reckon you will have foreigners who dont know the intricacies of the english language
In Dutch, there are similar phrases for number one and number two: 'kleine boodschap' (small errand = number one) and 'grote boodschap' (big errand = number two).
The other day my mate told me to wait for him cause he needed to drop the kids off. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha that's so good!😂😂
.... at the pool
😂 your USA accent needs more work but I love the impersonation 👍🏻 please do more!
HI Tom, I wonder which app/software do you use to record all your videos, the virtual backgrounds are always fantastic, great job! :)
in Australia they call a toilet thunderbox sometimes, but only sometimes!
You could have called it “The young British guide to English” as a homage to Britten
Wes da Loo? = Where is the Toilet?
