Ahahahaa
This explains the origin of languages. Give him a noble prize.
LMFAO
That accent is so strong it aged the boy about 50 years.
Yeah I was like, "Why is the manager of my Denny's in the snow talking like my grandmother?"
Please call the Riot police......
Oh! Is he the 13 year old boy who got put in a coma from a plastic bullet?
LMao, this is the best one tbh
PISH
It’s nice to know the younger generation in Ireland is keeping that tradition alove
The tradition of getting frostbit? Oi. I've done it in the Mid West. Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin. ❤
@@ORIGINALLANDEROS ah well now that this Irish lad has warned you about it I hope it won’t happen again 😂
U mean frostbut
@@miklu26 precisely 🧊🍑
He is NOT IRISH.
He speaks like doctors' handwriting.
That's how you should ask for a medicine in a pharmacy store.
This is hilarious
Bravo
🤣😂🤣😂👌
What?
Frostbutt is probably the worst thing you could ever get
Yes, and he also does not have any coat or jacket on whatsoever 😆
And ya wouldnt b'long gettn ut either.
lol yea
lol frostbutt. I am so childish it's not funny
:,(
8 years later and I'm still careful not getting any frostbite. Thank you sir.
this is the came person who got rescued after he got lost at sea at co Kerry btw he was out there for 12 hours
*frostbutt
i believe he's talking about frost butt.
frostbit
He seems like a sweet person 😊
Until you get a frostbutt
@@proximacentauri3358 Yeah don't get frost butt my guy
This kid was born already in his mid-40's. I have a feeling he drove his mother back home from the hospital.
I'm dead 😂
😂
💀💀💀💀💀
don't you mean his "muller"? 0:06
😂😂Christ!
He got so drunk he took his sons uniform and went to school.
XDDDDDDDDDDD
And his son became his dad and punishes him for getting bad grades.
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
☠☠☠☠🤣
That boy is going to be a wonderful grandfather one day. He's already practicing now.
“Schoolboy”
Sounds like a 60 year old
@M W most likely is a 60 year old pretending to be a schoolboy
Maybe he is, with such great genes the Irish keep well. 😉
this 'boy' is an irish comedian named Rory McSorley

I’m still trying to understand why he sounds like he’s 75
Drinking whiskey from age five does that to ya.
Because the 75 crowd were raised on that accent. Theyre probably wondering why more ankle biters don't sound that way

And the people talk like this, while having their mouth full, because they are in a restaurant which has tons of background noise and there is also a highway in front of the restaurant and a rocket launch happening right next to it.
During our AP Spanish exam, my whole class just stared at each other in horror during the listening test😂
His accent is beautiful! 🇺🇸
Do one USA. Not welcome in our land.
American accent like rubbish, the whole Britain diversity accent will be great. Same on u American we would dominate in your dream American land.
this dudes accent is stronger than my will to live
His Irish accent was so strong, my water turned into whiskey
Lol I get the joke and it's funny, but it's a northern Ireland accent. Ireland and Northern Ireland are different countries, with the North being owned by UK while the rest isn't. Don't worry, the northern Irish still do love their whiskey

"You wouldn't be long getting frostbit."
It's a verb: frostbite; frostbit; frostbitten; frostbiting
Yes, exactly; he's not warning "of frostbit", he's warning that you will be frostbit. "You wouldn't be long getting frost-bit", i.e. it would not be long until you are bit by the frost
@@presterjack9764 frostbit isnt a correct verb, nor is bit, nor is "you are bit by the frost" a correct phrase. Honestly would sound extremely stupid outside a regional accent. the word youre looking for is "frostbitten" or just "bitten"
@@longlivetheking1065 calling dialects stupid is kind of offensive, you know. Especially in a country whose entire native languages were hard fought to be erased by the English.
Glad to be living in Northern Ireland with people like this to talk to
He is only a teenager but he sounds like a 63 year old man.
Ikr lmao
So true
no, you just sounded like a 5 year old in your teens.
@@LosSerpent
LOL.
that's the very first thing i noticed

🤣🤣🤣
Translation for those who cant understand him "Mom made me go to school, so I didn't have a choice." "Oh yeah, it's cold enough you'll get frostbite fast."
You could just say what he actually said. He spoke proper English, just with a heavy Irish accent. You didn't need to change his word choice.
We're not so stupid we can't understand anything beyond common casual speak.

I remember seeing this news report with Ruairi and I had to pause and rewind and get the whole family in to see it. He was brilliant so funny 😂 he now a legend here and every time it's cold or snows or is icy we use his phrase ❄️😂
That kid is a national treasure... kids will never sound like him again.. He is the last man standing... He was awesome...
Sounds like he's survived a thousand brutal winters.
Lol
Not yet he hasn’t, winter is coming. Sweet summer child.

@JAMES LEVELL 😂🤣
yes from Britain and the Queen's thumb.
Things I now know about Frostbutt:
1. It's nice to look at
2: It's tough to live in
and theres no respite yet.
there shall never be respite from the frostbutt
"She Kinda Bad tho Is that Frost?"
😭😭😭😭😭
And that they don't have a choice in the matter
“Frostbit” isn’t short for “frostbite”. It’s short for “frostbitten”.
If you were wondering, he said...
"We hadn't much a choice in the matter." (We don't have much of a choice in the matter.)
"You wouldn't be long getting frostbite." (It wouldn't be long before you developed frostbite.)
Irish English bears a strong resemblance in its sentence formation and wording to Southern English ("the South" in the US).
Norther Ireland and Ireland are different this bloke is from Northern Ireland
If this man had a conversation with a Mississippi bayou farmer, it would rip a hole in the space time continuum.

Its crazy because they both technically speak the same language
don't they bayou people speak French as their first language?
@@benhood5492 Closer than you think. Mississippi and most of the south was settled by people from right where he lives, so the accents are very similiar.
@@DAClarkism Yeah; Right!
That is not a schoolboy, that is an Irishman.
he is as much a "schoolboy" as that one russian guy who arm wrestles and calls himself a "schoolboy". Albeit, he has been arm wrestling for a few years, and he was a schoolboy when he started.

Surprisingly, a Northern Irish accent which is vastly different from Irish
Hahaha thank you for the closed captions
Ireland breeds poets,writers,dreamers .... even the rural school kids commuincate on a unique level .... there is a fascinating attraction to how he expressed that simple idea .....
As a non-native trying to learn English, this is the final boss.
Edit: Okay. So fun story. Since posting this comment I've visited Ireland twice. The second time I went to a pub with an English friend. He got a bit drunk and started talking to some random folks about firearms which kind of startled me. It took me almost half an hour to realise they were talking about farms.
I’m a native English speaker, and even _I_ can’t understand what he’s saying.
He is on a whole new level.

Underrated

@@thewock6529 It must be that look of love in the Dogecoin logo. 😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No, he just had some whiskey.
I was once on a dive boat on the Great Barrier Reef. Nearly every flavor of English was represented. It was fascinating and we all had a blast listening to such variation in our mother tongue. Northern Irish was the most difficult for me as a southerner to understand. Southern England/South African the most pleasant to the ear.
when you learn english for 10 years and cant imagine what he is talking about
He sound like an Irish grandpa telling stories to his non existent grandchildren
hahahah😅😅
And looks like it too
He does as well he talks like and old Irish person
😂😂😂😂🤣

And I'm a non-native English speaker.
Who has been fluent in English for about 2 years.
@@myk1137 But for some people it still isn't easy...I can catch pretty much amount of accents of English even though I'm not a fluent speaker but this accent doesn't feel like my cup of tea
I've lived in Ireland for 2 years and come back once every now and then to see how much I'm improving at understanding Irish accents
'Well the mother says we had to go anyway, we hadn't much a choice in the matter'
'Oh God, you wouldn't be long getting frostbit'
Bit as in bit, past tense
He's a schoolboy that talks like he's lived in a pub for 52 years surrounded by cigar smoke and whiskey
As any true Irishman does!
Lol hahahaaaaa
Glad I’m not the only one
Or lived with a 52 year old Dad that talks like his Dad and they all live in a pub.
Awesome comment!
I think it's admirable that he hasn't given up school despite being being held back for thirty seven years.
lol
🤣🤣🤣 :: choke ::
Never give up 👁👄👁
Noooo 🥺
Dude, you had me dying
Thank god for subtitles!
I understood every word. You should try hear my grand uncle talk. He has that accent, no teeth and only speaks in agricultural terms.
t houghton what the he'll are you on About
this comment has we laughing way harder than it should
So basically he is an amish
Prove it to me
For some reason this is the funniest and most wholesome comment I've seen in a long time hahahahah
Can't even imagine what his grandfather sounds like.

You’re a legend, Rauri!
I feel so proud about being able to understand this without subtitles. Nobody taught me english. I learned it with years of watching videos/songs/sitcoms and translating every word I did not understand (Needing to stop the piece of media I was enjoying at that time). To that, I would like to add that I watch a podcast with 2 Irish guys every Friday.
I love your culture, Irish people. I love your accent, is one of the best (if not the best).
This video makes me happy, thank you. This long journey was worth every part, every stop, every new word x).

I remember watching this a year or two ago... it's crazy, but I actually followed what this guy was saying, now
Thats so wholesome
I believe he said "Well, my mother said I had to go anyway, I hadn't much of a choice in the matter, but sure ... Oh wouldn't be long getting frostbite."
Ellen Munsey haha, thats seems on point wouldn't of that what he said
Ellen Munsey Exactly what I heard
I heard the last part first time around, but only from hearing similar language in shows. "be long getting" is not an expression used in American english either, which contributes to the confusion.
Earl C. I speak culchie: "You wouldn't be long getting frostbit" = "in weather like this, the likelihood of getting frostbite is greatly increased"

This comment section is very strange to me as an Irish person because this is one of the easier Northern Irish accents to understand. There's some accents from the north that sounds like a different language. Also, people don't realise that there's actually a huge variety of accents in Ireland despite how small our population is.
Again you're an Irish person 🤷🏾♀️ I only understood “frost bit” 😭😭😭 Please forgive I didn't understand a word coming from this young man

I think that's what he meant too 🙂
Frostu baito
He sounds like he’s talking in reverse but the only thing we could understand is “frostbut”
We can understand everything he says.
Understood him perfectly
.....i've gotten frostbut a couple of times. it's no fun!
*froshbut
It sounds to me like frostbutt. Frostbutt is a danger in cold climates.
At least he did not say "like" or "literally" every other word, the way American young people tend to do. I like his accent ☘️
The Bri'ish do that too. Especially saying "litchreleee" before every phrase.
They could omit the "literally" and actually improve the communication, unless it's in reference to a figure of speech. Doesn't seem to be used much for that purpose.
@@gj8683 The two biggest reasons for it, as I see it, are emphasis and the ability to briefly pause speech, although "like" mostly fits the latter, whereas "literally" can be used for both.
Saying "like" every so often allows you to stop and think without abruptly ending your sentence or taking too long to start talking ("I'm, like, freezing").
And "literally" can be "erroneously" employed to augment a word or phrase ("I'm literally freezing").
@@chaoticstarfish3401 Yes, "literally" is used as an intensifier (and can also refer to a figure of speech for humorous effect). As an intensifier, it's like "really" or "truly" and the like. I heard a podcast years ago from an Oxford scholar who said the first recorded use of "literally" as an intensifier was in the 18th century and that purists should (my paraphrase) get a life and get over it. But I refuse. LOL

I think this is the point when an accent becomes another language.
This is exactly how languages are born and evolve
There is always a gray area between accents and new languages. For example, all modern European languages besides Basque, Hungarian, Estonian and Finnish were derived from a single language, and so there was a point in history where the european languages would have been considered accents of each other rather than separate languages. Search up Proto-Indo-European if you are interested
@@hereisyoursign6750 yeah exactly, all romance languages like Spanish French or Italian were at some point some very heavy Latin accent
@@hereisyoursign6750 It's amazing how languages evolve. The bald guy who does a bunch of history/learning type channels did a video about it. Go back 300 years and we'd have a hard time understanding someone speaking English.
Edit: This video! th-cam.com/video/Y63dBBlHlSk/w-d-xo.html "How Far Back in Time Could an English Speaker Go and Still Communicate Effectively?"
@@hereisyoursign6750 This is not accurate in the slightest. There is no gray area between accents and new languages. An accent does not evolve into another language. The gray area you're thinking of is between dialects and languages. But accents and dialects are not the same thing, as an accent is a purely phonetic difference, whereas a dialect implies some different vocabulary, sometimes some different grammar, and even alternate sentence construction.
Obviously accents and dialects often go hand in hand, but the point is an accent in and of itself is not and never would be a different language. There is no point in history where European languages would have just been accents of the same language.
Furthermore Proto-Indo-European is a mere hypothesis. It's a theorized language based on a linguistic reconstruction derived from studying common points between Indo-European languages. There is zero record of Proto-Indo-European, therefore we do not know if it actually existed, and we certainly do not know what differences there were between different variants of it.
