    So cool to see Cari and Janusz speaking English, plus Isi's demeanor had me dying! Honestly I knew none of these since all my slang is like west coast USA slang. One of my personal favorites though, when something is all gone or finished, I say it's "Dunzo Washington" lol

    "full of beans" is in fact a polite way to say "full of shit" in American English :D

      @EasyEnglishVideos  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      No way! So Cari was correct (I'll have to tell her)... just in the wrong English speaking country!?
      I think Easy English should make an episode about the different meanings for phrases in GB and US English

    Simply loved Mitch as the game show host. Isi as his "overeager" assistant was funny, too. BTW there were only 3 words/expressions I did not know. My early training in British English is paying off :-).

    Don’t worry Jansuz. I grew up speaking English mostly, French, and Russian along with other languages in high school and throughout my 20’s and English is still weird too me!

  • @ArgusStrav
    @ArgusStrav 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Even as an American, I don't know most of these slang words. Janusz had something right about "pop your clogs", didn't he? I assume there was some origin where you'd take the shoes off of a corpse or something.
    Maybe that's where that internet meme comes from, that as long as somebody has their shoes on in a video where there's an accident, they're okay, but if they lose their shoes, they die?

    • @EasyEnglishVideos

    Interesting, if I remember correctly, in the US _to waffle on / over_ means that you can't make your mind about something.
    _Pop your clogs off_ was a new one for me, and it made me look up _clog_ on Etymonline, and I found that, in addition to its "wooden shoe" meaning, it had another one in Middle English, and quite curious, too: it seems back then it was used to talk about large pieces of jewelry and large...testicles! 🥚😎🥚
    Loved the show, Mitch, real nice way to polish my Brit slang a bit! 😁

    • @EasyEnglishVideos
      @EasyEnglishVideos  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Interesting that waffle on is different in the US. We will have to make a video on this kind of topic soon.
      Thanks for the info on "clog". It instantly made me thing of how some people refer to their testicles as the "crown jewels" 😂
