What if Randy, who is very spunky, tried to bum a ride from Fannie Trump, but couldn't get in because the knob was broken?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And I am #69 on the likes!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scott Rogers It’s Fannie May for Heavens sake! 😂
Then, in Ireland, you'd get the same reaction in the family guy scene in which viewers were told to always finish on the Bach, never on DeBussy.
@Sinni dunno, but it's here somewhere on TH-cam.
So many of these words have the double entendre here in America. I'd say 7 of them, but we don't think about it. It's all in the context they're spoken.
I was going to say this same thing. It's all about context, but giggles tend to ensue anyway.
Yeah. When I was like 9 or 10, I had a friend named Randy, but he hated his name because we all knew the other meaning, so he went by "Jake" instead. If 9-year-old American kids knew what randy means, it's definitely not exclusive to the UK/Ireland.
Especially blowing someone off. I laugh at so many double entendres but when used to not show up as planned it doesn't even occur to me.
Like muff diving and polishing a knob?
Yeah we use the word must the same way you do.
I had an interesting conversation about the term used for a pencil eraser. Hint, don't ask for a rubber from an American, you will not get a pencil eraser.
You'll get a "potential future baby eraser", though, and isn't that close enough if you really think about it? :D
😹😹😹😹😹
I had no idea that "bumming" meant...well, that...in Ireland. Someone "bumming a cigarette" takes on a whole new meaning! LOL!
aww, bummer
Especially if you add to that the term they might use for a cigarette. ;)
@@scruffynurf-herder9383 yeah, first time I was over they were giving me money to buy them ( a really derogatory name for a homosexul ). I was like why would I want buy a F@G.......
If you want to bum some money you might get arrested lol
Thats bubbing a cig
#2 is the same in America. Hence the term "Muff diving" which Fannies love when done well.
Carry on Diane 🧡
same with ride, and blow . . . . depending on the context so is knob . . . . bob on my knob anyone? don't need to guess what that means. . . .I wouldn't be surprised if puff was also used that way in america's history.
@@cyborgtemplar1989 Well, we don't often say "to blow off" for that, though... just "to blow". The "off" makes a huge difference.
Will not lie this american giggled at the whole list, and already knew all of those meanings minus the last one, but I get it.
Same here
This one knew all the terms save the first one and "bummed."
Come out to seattle if you can! Aer lingus started direct from Dublin recently. Tis a long flight, but would love the chance to show you around
I've heard of trumpet to describe that.
If there is one thing that I can say about most people from the U.S. (and more than one other English-speaking country), it's that they greet a previously-unknown suggestive double meaning for an English word with the unmitigated joy usually reserved for cherished friends, and they immediately begin using it, _often,_ as a double entendre, no matter how far they have to stretch to do it.
I guess you don’t want to hear about the term “bum a ride”.
Whether you realize it or not, Diane, most Americans are VERY aware of the many meanings of those words (including the Irish interpretations). As a lot, we're probably a whole lot less refined and polite as the Irish, so the "gutter interpretations" rarely go by unnoticed (and unappreciated - wink). You made the comment that you started out thinking this video would be funny, and I assure you, watching you squirm in discomfort with explaining your terms was comedy GOLD! I say that only because you always present yourself as a morally upstanding and respectable young lady, and your discomfort in this video makes that even more believable. Oh, and I agree with "casey trader" that you look great in red. And yellow, and black, and green, and blue, and...well, you get the idea. Well done, Diane. Another 10 minutes of ear-to-ear smiles and laughter. Thank you!
Thank you!
I agree Bill. I think for many Americans it is context. I've used/heard some of those terms in what would be considered their Irish counterparts here in New Orleans. Remember, knowing your audience and how to use terms in context is very important in communication.
actually this was very educational as most of these terms i didnt know of their meanings in the UK.
Yeah, as I watch more and more of this, I realize that we use the dirty versions of most of these. There are a few exceptions like Trump. Makes sense though. Kinda like a shortening of trumpet, which can make a similar sound to a fart. Not sure if that's the reason.
@@MacGuffinExMachina "Trump" being short for "trumpet" is what I've always assumed, but I knew this term back in the sixth grade or so. Then again, some of these terms are probably not so common in certain parts of the country, much like a bunch of American terms are only known regionally. The only term that is relatively new to me is the word "fanny" (meaning 'em... "lady part" as Diane said), because it always meant the HIND version to me. I learned the Irish/English version from a video of Diane's about a year ago (or maybe it was a "Joel and Lia" video, I'm not sure). I'm so glad I discovered Diane's channel. I just love her sense of humor.
Alot of those have the same meaning in the US depending on the context that it used in and the maturity of the person saying it
Or the maturity of the person listening.
"Shag" can actually mean the same thing in the US when used as a verb... it's just a bit old-school, so few people use it as a verb.
"Randy" can also have the same meaning, but again, it's rather old-school to use it as an adjective over here.
I live about an hour from a town called Bald Knob.
Oh dear! Haha
@John I've driven through Bald Knob, but haven't stopped there. I have heard that the Bulldog Drive in is a great Restaurant though!
Wonder how the Triers would react to Knob Creek whiskey?
I live 20 minutes from Bald Knob. It's a small world...
Yeah, that place was hilarious when I taught Arkansas history. I’m actually from the NOLA area (New Orleans, LA if you don’t know the abbreviation). There is also a town called Smackover in AR.
Just like how Americans laughed when the film "Snatch" was released.
Neanderthal Cave Becky "to capture"? Why is that funny?
I watched that in Iraq...it wasn't anything about Snatch or Muff or Fanny...kinda disappointed me initially...it was funny though
@@Fat_Kids_Jiggle "Snatch" is another word for a lady's genitalia in the US. We have lots of words for the coochie.
Jeremy Peake Snatch = Vagina
It's a great film actually. I remember the poster had the tagline "SNATCH.......coming soon"!!!
As an anatomist and science teacher, you did an excellent job with the formal definitions!
Haha ta!
If someone called me a “knob” in Ireland I’d prob assume they were calling me a doorknob. We have a saying here in the USA, at least my parents would say it that goes “they are as dumb as a doorknob”, so I’d prob think someone was calling me dumb 🤣
Bummer? I hardly knew her!
You looked SOOOO uncomfortable that even though I was smiling I actually said "aw" and really felt for you. You're so sweet.
I thoroughly enjoyed your list though! Gotta re-watch though - little confused on verve?
You always, ALWAYS, bring a smile to my face. I'm sure you hear that a lot but I, and everyone else I'm sure, thank you greatly for all of the time and effort you put into your channel and videos. Thank you so much 😊
Editor Diane, like always, was priceless. I'm guessing you were a little uncomfortable with this. There was a time or two you started to blush a bit. I noticed some of those have the same alternative meanings here. So I wasn't really surprised. Makes me feel cultured.
Totally unrelated, you look great in red.
Aww thanks! I need to feel super confident to wear it and it was a confident kinda day!
Diane you look great all the time.
@@DianeJennings You look like a strawberry i mean that in a good way.
I can't get over how good looking her editor is 😊
We say suck. Blow is just a finger of speech.
UK:
"Knock me up in the morning?"
American, "I'm trying not to."
Muff has a dual meaning here in the states. Depending on the context, it can be an ear or hand covering...or lady parts...
@Daniel Welch Without the fluff it's not a muff. The slang is an analogy to the headgear with the fluffy fur or yarn to keep the wind off the ears and fingers.
And sometimes it's both!
Don't get bummed, @Daniel Welch, he's educating you.
I understand it has been presented to the Olympic committee as an additional diving event.
bummed too
Best Editor Diane line ever!! I would like to know what your mom thought of this video. I am sure she is supportive. It was so much fun watching you try keep things polite in this video. You are a delight. Thank you.
The little smile she would give when saying the words or phrases was the most enjoyable.
Yes, she acts a bit prudish, but I bet she’s wild in bed!
We say "slob on my knob." All the time 🤣. We also say "Muff." Beaver, snapper, snatch, clam ect... 🤣
Absolutely one of my favorite lists ever! The look on your face as you explain these words is priceless!
Think of it this way:
On my side of the pond, fanny refers to the back bottom.
On your side of the pond, fanny refers to the front bottom.
Easy day
I think Editor Diane blushed a little more. She may file an harassment claim!
Aww Diane, you actually were very tactful in how you presented! I can imagine that wasn't easy for you; but we appreciate it!
some of them are self explanatory but thanks you for explaining it into scientific term so you wont get demonetized in the youtube. Editor Diane did a good job editing this video.
I don't think I've seen a shag rug in about 20 years
I have one. But its not a "floofy" rug with thick fabric. Its literally a rug I have sex on.
My dad repo’d a Honda Civic once that had brown shag carpeting.
@deosullivan3, that's funny, the intro ad to this video was for shag rugs, three lengths to choose from.
they are in again
Try bout 40 yrs...lol
So Puff the Magic Dragon isn't a thing in Ireland, or the phrase "Puff Puff Pass?"
I had an American friend named Randy Pratt. All the Brits thought it was pretty funny.
That really is a gold mine of a name
Yeah it's the combination of both names that's funny. Prat means idiot or moron. So basically... a horny moron ;)
In America, we have a famous baseball pitcher, one of the best ever to play the game, whose name is Randy Johnson. His nickname is 'The Big Unit.'
Even as Americans, it was impossible to talk about him without snickering.
@@sparroni Also he nailed a bird with a fastball, which means something different in the UK
Try being named Lorrie in the UK! Thanks, I'm big as a truck? 😭😥
Spunk and "blowing someone off" have the same meanings here too lol just used in the right context
Really? Must be regional
@@SuperDrLisa in Minnesota they do
at least in the parts of the east coast I've lived the word off in, "blowing someone off," changes the meaning. so blowing someone and blowing someone off are two different things
ive heard, _blowing someone_ and _getting someone off_ but never blowing someone off in reference to... oral stimulation
@@tonyarndt1662 No they don't 😂 Never heard that in my entire life.
Very interesting list. The name Randy ( I have a cousin with that name) could be short for Randall. I think Chewie was covering his ears the whole time. Looking forward to the big announcement. ❤️U
I think you kinda were blowing us off on the definition for Number 6!
I want to say something .... but I just can't bring myself to do it cause I don't want to insult Diane.
I must be more Irish than I had thought. Many of those allegedly “Irish” terms she’s explaining are used regularly here in the States.
Muff has that meaning here too. Hence the term "muffdiver".
"Up In Smoke" vehicle they drove has the license plates MUF DVR. I always thought it was a bakery truck, as in muffin driver. Or not.
I am a certified muff diving instructor, and I have the T shirt to prove it!
In a America a muffler is a car part otherwise known as the exhaust pipe
David Mcwilliams No, the muffler is a part that is before the tailpipe, they are separate parts.
Michael smith I'm a professional muff diver ! Once I go down I don't wanna COME back up...
Easily your best video by far! Loved the way you were squeamish with with every explanation! Well played!
Haha brilliantly explained, I'm so immature and giggled throughout. Look forward to your announcement sat.
Yaaaay Thank you Fiona!
I'm going to guess either getting married or got a big enough acting gig. Or traveling to America, again. Hope it's a good surprise!
I refuse to grow up. I had a mad case of the giggles through this entire video.
You are just the most precious thing! You must be protected
Her reactions were much better then anything else.
I know I shouldn't take amusement from your discomfort, but it was really cute.
How many times did Editor Diane laugh at these questions and responses?
A great many!
@@DianeJennings Editor Diane never laughs. She would be insulted at the very thought of having a laugh or a smile. If she does the world is doomed.
Those are funny and most Americans with dirty minds know the Irish meanings love the vlogs
My Mom just died and I was looking for stuff to divert my attention from the pain and nothing worked. Then I happened upon this video and I felt better. You have a very comforting voice! You should read audio books.
We also use Randy in the same context as you. Randy as a name is short for Randall.
or Randolph
You handled that very well. I'm from the U.S. and feel much more educated.
In America splunk can mean the same thing
Christopher Gregg not here in the Midwest
It’s not splunk! It’s spunk!
Only if someone is obsessed with foreign slang or has a lot of friends online from overseas.
@@duallydriver2 spunk a crazy clumsy dive to an accident.
@@MrAdrenaline1982 Nope... I had heard the term when I was growing up in the midwest. No foreign exchange students or any real contact with foreigners at that time as it was decades before the internet. Poof, fanny and Trump were the only words she used that I hadn't heard of with the meaning she gave. The rest were known though not commonly used.
Spunk means the same here as well I guess over here at has two meanings
"Spunky" would more of the common way it is said now, if at all. Older people may say it. Mostly toward a very active child. People use to say... that guy has spunk. If he was a go getter. But, not now because of the other naughty use of the word.
I've never herd it used the way she described it, interesting.
I agree. Spunk is used to mean the same here in Canada.
Not here in the Midwest.
I thought Americans used jism or is that very old school
5:24 - Just saying, in he movie, he's Cousin Eddie, his real name is Randy Quaid
@@JohnFourtyTwo I'm not sure there's not something disconnected upstairs with Randy, he has moments of clarity, but still.
You had me laughing from start to finish! Oooo..the swerving between the words! 🤣
I’m so immature! This list made me laugh.
@@williamdobbs6740
Thank you for making me laugh! Love me some Sheldon Cooper :)
It's funny I knew a lot of these terms from Austin Powers. lol
Gives a whole new meaning to the term "trump card."
"Did somebody just fart?"
"It's all good. I have a trump card."
Mr2 Reviews that makes no sense as a joke..
Sometimes Judgement Day, as in apocalypse, is called the Last Trump, referring to the angel blowing his horn. And there is a highly poisonous plant with a lily-shaped flower called the Angel’s Trumpet.
Haven't been to Ireland or the UK, but I traveled to Australia back in 2002 and visited some folks there and I never laughed so much in my life as then when we got to comparing terms and their definitions in the USA and Australia. Your video reminded me of that.
You missed one. I was playing a game with two British guys and an Irish girl. I needed another log to finish building something, so I asked them to give me more by tossing them off the cliff. Apparently "tossing off" means something very different there. It means to throw something here.
You definitely don't know what we learn in southern schools. Its fine im 15 and was sitting on my bed laughing like a little kid after watching this because my sister was explaining to my other sister how to work the washer and she used the word nob like 15 times i can never see people talk the same way again!!..🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇮🇪🇮🇪
Zoe Alvarez , that makes me laugh
I theorize that the English language was made for double entendre. Sometimes triple.
Teacher Diane should make more educational videos. 👍🏻
Diane, you and your crew are awesome. Please keep up the good work :) You are one of my favorite TH-camrs.
Aww Thank you! That means a LOT!
Some of these I knew about, but most of these terms were new to me. Thanks for the info!
I had a buddy named Randy John Thomas. His tour of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland was rather humorous.
In the US to "trump" was to be "one-upped" You have been trumped. or... Taste trumps all other factors when consumers choose food products. or False accusations: They've trumped up charges against her. It is also a term related to many card games where a suit or specific cards gain special value. "I play a trump card and beat your ace." So it had a variety of uses here as well.
Wait a second.........this is a educational channel? Can I get college credit for watching? 😁
I do not see why not
At Trump University, yes.
😂We can debate that after you add an "n" to the letter "a," as in "an educational channel?"😂
Ok, I have to say it, Diane ,..flustered Diane is incredibly cute .
And , now that you reminded me about the meaning of "SHAG" in your part of the world, and I'm sorry if this makes me seem immature for a guy my age , I will never be able to watch
"SCOOBY DOO" again without giggling.
But, thinking further , a guy my age watching Scooby Doo,might make me immature anyway.
Again, I hope to see flustered Diane again some time in the future.
👼🌷
😊
Excellent job keeping it a socially acceptable discussion on touchy subjects.
Not sure how you managed to keep this so "PG", but you did a great job educating while being polite!

Im changing my name to fanny and moving to Ireland
Hahaha! You'll be a big hit!
Last name Knob. Please to meet you, I'm Fannie Knob.
A lot of those worlds (randy, spunk, muff) can have that meaning here, too. It just isn't such a dominant meaning that the other meanings have been eclipsed.
Funny & educational. It was really funny & pretty cute how uncomfortable you got on some of these, but you toughed it out, way to go & thanks for the laughs & education 😉😁
This is a true story. A friend of mine used to work in a shopping mall at a store that sold Levi jeans. He had a tourist couple from Britain come into the store to shop, and while the wife was trying viewing herself in the mirror while trying on some jeans, she asked my friend, "how do i look in these jeans?" My friend, who at times lacks tact, answered, "Well you have a fat fanny (American meaning). Immediately, she became upset, and her husband protested, "You shouldn't ought to have said that! You shouldn't ought to have said that!" My friend asked innocently, "What did I do?" Then the man explained to my friend that fanny had an entirely different meaning in Britain. That's how I first learned about the meaning across the pond. I enjoy your videos.
Newsflash! 90% of that stuff means the exact same thing in American.
Not really.. I mean, a lot of us get what the double meanings are but, I have never in my entire life ever heard someone use "muff" to describe someone's vagina or "knob" to describe a penis or "blowing someone off" to mean a blow job or "getting a ride" to mean sex.
@@mars7612 Really? How old are you? Born in the 2000's? "Getting a ride," "blowing someone off." You've NEVER heard these before? All of these are commonly used in America.
@@jacenjustice Nope, never. I haven't even heard older generations use them. And no, I wasn't born in the 2000s. I've heard the term "shag" and I've heard the word knob refer to an idiot or a stupid person but, that's about it. Oh! And muffdiver. I've heard that before 😂
@@mars7612 Hmmm. I guess, but I would advise you to go through the comments, as many people in the comments are saying the same thing that I am. They're all pretty common phrases. I only recently heard someone use the word "jizz," for the first time.
@@jacenjustice I'm well aware of the comments and what I'm seeing is that many people understand what she is saying. The phrases aren't exactly used commonly in the US but are commonly understood.
Muff means the same thing in America. It’s just an outdated term.
Also a fur muff was used for women's hands to keep warm, they would say when they couldn't find it, "Where's my Muff"? They don't use them anymore! Lol 😉😁
yeah now it is VA JJ
As a teacher, I always hated it when my students used that word because it now means that something, or someone is dumb. I’m only 38, but it still means, as stated, va-jj in my ears/mind.
@@lynnmarieadams1678 trin to be funny dont care either way thanks for the input though did not mean to oh fend eny 1.
No offense at all. I use your term quite frequently. I wasn’t trying for humor, this time. It just bugs me when the kids today use Muff for dumb or stupid; especially, when they would call each other that in my class. We’re cool. Just two fans of this site. 🤗
Trump can mean you have a higher card in a card game, such as Hearts or Spades. In spades if when playing you play a card game in put a spade card out, you can take that trick.
And from that, comes the term "to trump" something. Like if you say that my need is greater than yours, you would say, it trumps it. I do find that I have pretty much eradicated that term from my vocabulary in the last couple of years. No matter whom I am talking to, it shifts focus away from the conversation. Haha!
funny u ended that with "trick" a trick can be a service provided by a street walker.{hoSkaglot lizard .hooker. ptostitute}
this video is my first of yours and my goodness is it a goodie. I'm practically in tears, mostly from the realizations, although I will add as others have that many of these words also have the same double meaning here. like, the double meaning of bum and shag are well known, and a lot know fanny, but spunk/spunky actually means both here. the difference is usually the y, as we wouldn't really say "you're full of spunk", but "you're really spunky today", as the y kind of makes all the difference. otherwise, we absolutely use spunk in the same way you do. and knob is also used, but not quite the same. knob, when not referring to a door knob or the like, is usually used in the same way we'd call someone a goof or a dork. English is fascinating lmao
Thank you for your videos! I’m visiting Ireland soon from the US and prefer not sound too ignorant.
"Spunky" is on its way out specifically because the UK/Irish meaning is making its way across the pond.
Agreed, and this is apparently recent, because there was a Disney Channel children's move in 1999 called "P.U.N.K.S." (which I thought was pretty great back then). In it, PUNKS is an acronym a bunch of kids come up with using their initials. They start out as PUNK, but then a girl named Samantha joins, so they need to add an S. One of them comments, "SPUNK? That sounds like something my grandma eats for breakfast." Either the UK/Irish meaning wasn't well known in the US then, or holy shit the writers got something nasty past the network.
Ride, spunk, poof, Randy, knob and muff all mean the same thing in America as well as Ireland.
Great video!
While I knew the possible meanings of all of those words already, I have only ever heard "randy" used in that way here.
I can't think of anyone I know from the U.S. born after 1980 at the _latest_ who hasn't laughed at least once when they were told so-and-so "got a ride" from someone after a party the night before. "I'll bet," in that situation, gives people from the U.S. life.
I've never, ever heard "Randy" used in any way other than a proper name here in the U.S., at least not in the South. I couldn't imagine anywhere else in the States as it's a fairly common proper name for a male. The others, yes...knob, muff, spunk, ride are used both ways...although poof not so much...it's mostly poofter then only if you're from England or Australia.
@@cannong1728 I expect that means the name Randall isn't very common in Ireland.
@@Caseytify I would expect....yes.
How rude! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth! Lol. That was hilarious, particularly just because of how obviously uncomfortable you were with your choice to make this video. But you toughed it out and made it through. Congrats! I’m sure editor Diane loved working on this one!
Haha she did Mark!
Diane, you are absolutely adorable. Your videos are great, keep up the good work.
I knew the vast majority of these before I watched the video, but I wanted to see you squirm your way through it. Plus I would love to do many of these rude ideas with you. Sorry I can't help myself you are very beautiful and I love your accent.
Excellent!!! You looked so uncomfortable explaining some of the terms that it made it much more amusing. The terms you picked have the same meaning in Canada as in the USA so it came out as funny to me as it would to a Yank. Dick, Willy, and Peter are names than also refer to a man's "manhood" and John is used for a lavatory so Randy, familiar for Randalf, need not be embarrassed
DinoHF79: That’s a generational thing. Richards over the age of 50 are sometimes Dicks, but Richards under that age are always Rick or Rich.
@@carolgage4569 right. Me Dad's called 'Dick,' but me brother is, 'Rich.'
Me brother was, 'Ricky' when he was growing up.
I wish I could hit like more than once! So funny!
Thank you!
How about shaggin balls. Here that refers to someone practicing baseball. Catching, pop flys from a batter or retriving the baseball from someone taking batting practice..
You're right, but on the other hand, most people from the United States don't pay any attention to baseball.
I just broke every muscle in my face, and popped a lung from laughter. Wish I could thumbs up the hell out of this.
In SC there is a dance called the "Shag" which is mostly popular with the older crowd and a slow almost line dance partner dance. There's even a song by the band Alabama (from SC) called "Shagging on the Boulevard."
5:23 Thanks for the warning. I'll advice my oldest brother to go by his middle name if he visits Ireland. 😳
Poof or Puff.... so what am I getting when I buy a box of facial tissues named Puffs? :)
How about reading a box of Rice Crispies, and they say it's puffed rice?
Beware the Puff's Plus
Don’t ask...could be something else from the list. Sorry 😐, I know that was way too immature, but I just couldn’t help myself. 🤗
@@savary62 I'm willing to hazard a guess and say that doesn't help with the immature giggling.
I guess the commercial lingo of "Puffs softens the blow" would really get you going.
lol, its funny about the English slang is so different in different places.
i learned quite a few on Fake taxi {Educational channel} and the show "Skins"
There's a village not far from where I live called Todmorden that has a pub called "The Polished Knob", allways good for a chuckle.
I'm always surprised that my fellow Americans don't already know these terms (or how our words are used in the UK/Ireland/etc.)...but then I remember not everyone was raised on the BBC, having been introduced to Monty Python and Benny Hill at age six. I learned all the good insults very young!
I think some of the definitions you give here are more prevalent here in the US than you might think. Other than "trump", I've been aware of every single one of those here in Ohio for years.
I guess growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional... right??? 😜
Right!
MOST definitely! I tell my nieces and nephews that I'm a grown up only because my birth certificate says I am.
Hello fellow Diane lover from Ohio!
dgantzbass oh so right. I’ve been telling my wife for years that I may be growing old but I Refuse to grow up..
How odd, because next door in Indiana, these words are unknown or extremely uncommon. I wasn’t even aware of all of them.
Oddly enough Australia uses the same meanings as Ireland/ England. We giggle at Americans 'rooting' for sports teams etc too
When you visit America do you laugh when we say those words?
Yup!
Love your channel. Very educational. Keep it up.
editor diane did an excellent job for this episode!
You've likely heard by now that we have all the same meanings for those terms, with the possible exceptions of fanny, poof, and trump. Personally, the only new one for me was trump.
I didn't know most of these!:)..every time i learn new stuff i forget something!.. Hope i didn't lose any important information for this:)
Many of these words can have the same meanings here in America - except poof, fanny, and trump - all depends on the context. Loved the video - especially Editor Diane!
And as someone else commented Randy Johnson is the name of a former pitcher in America, and I believe he had a mustache, that... Nope, I'm not going any further on that one...
How about a video on greetings and such. If there is a big difference. When you say hi, bye, when drinking, speaking to strangers, loved ones, friends, someone sneezes, ya know, stuff like that. You rock
1 is gold, I had no idea. 10 I knew. The other 8 are commonly used that way here, too, just not around polite company, which an adorable Irish visitor would be. In fact, trying to think about how I've never connected some of these, and yet used them in both contexts, was fascinating. For example:
In the first episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show, Lou, Mary's soon-to-be-boss, tells her she's got spunk. She says thank you. He says that's not a compliment. It's a rather classic scene and it's there that I first heard the word, so I asked my parents to explain it. I got the age appropriate explanation of being energetic, having fight, pep in your step, chutzpah, etc. I even had, at the age of 22, a pet hamster who had tons of energy and always wanted to play and if you didn't give her a treat you'd never hear the end of it (and your hand might end up a bit sore, too) named Spunky. I've also complained about a dirty toilet that was covered in...attitude. I never put the two together before despite having used them both.
So between that, the shag carpet, and knob, I had a really interesting trip through old music, such as Blondie's "Ring My Bell" and the chorus of Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild".
And then sometimes no one cares and they just want to be that way like the store you showed or the bar that was down the street from my grandma's condo called "Jiggers".
but you would think that someone would have suggested a better name for that poor hamster
