      I’m American too and I think perhaps I am misunderstanding this as a context thing. I don’t see anything “new” about the word dodgy but I can see how maybe i’ve been using the same word in a different way. One way I use dodgy/dodge/dodger is to mean evasive. My background is in journalism and we frequently say someone is dodging questions. So if I’m asking someone straight forward questions and they are giving me clever responses that aren’t really answers I would say “he’s being dodgy.”However I might use dodgy to mean potentially dangerous. I have seen some foreign English publications use dodgy to mean low moral character like dodgy car salesman.

    I'm from the US and my grandfather would say "eejit" often. I picked it up but kids at school and other people thought it was weird. My grandfather would also say "aye" instead of okay...and I picked that up also. I still get odd looks from time to time here in the US when I say certain things.
    If eejit originates from Scotland, it makes a lot of sense to me now. Apparently our family ancestry has a lot of ties to Scotland. I wonder how certain terms and slight accent idiosyncrasies remain in a family for so long without changing. I did grow up with my grandparents on a ranch in the middle of nowhere...so perhaps that social isolation over generations preserved those terms within our family.

    So this is what I've read regarding the appelation of 'Robot' regarding traffic lights. Before traffic lights were there in South Africa, the police used to control traffic with their hands in busy intersections as they still do at times. When the traffic controllers (the police) were replaced it sort of created an impression that a human job was replaced with a machine and hence the name robot. The original term was “robotic traffic controller“.
    When the traffic controllers (the police) were replaced it sort of created an impression that a human job was replaced with a machine and hence the name robot. A number of countries call traffic lights a 'robot'. Robot can also be a term for a vending machine.
    The word itself derives from the Czech word “robota,” or forced labor, as done by serfs. Its Slavic linguistic root, “rab,” means “slave.”

And the USA slang of calling something or someone “suspect” has been around a long time in my circles. I don’t mean suspect like the kind the police arrest but suspect as in not perceived as trustworthy. Like I might say “That chicken salad is suspect because it was left on the counter all night.” or “He lies a lot so everything says is suspect.” Also I sometimes use dodgy as an adjective in the family of dodge/dodger to mean evasive.

    I'm American, and I've heard "dodgy" being used here my whole life. But I've generally heard it in the context of like, "He's being dodgy." and not so much in a sentence like "a dodgy situation" that Lauren said for the UK.

    • @anndeecosita3586
      @anndeecosita3586 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m also American and curious as to in what context do you use “he’s being dodgy”. I have a journalism background and it’s common for us to say someone is dodging questions. So if I say “he’s being dodgy” most likely I’m saying he’s being cleverly evasive and not responding to straightforward questions in a meaningful way. I wonder if this is slang because there is a famous novel by British author Charles Dickens called Oliver Twist and the Artful Dodger is a main character. At times I mean dodgy as giving me a vibe of being potentially dangerous. I mostly I say sketchy but sometimes I say dodgy. I think maybe Brits use dodgy to mean corrupt or low moral character as well. Not sure.,

    • @ponyxaviors4491
      @ponyxaviors4491 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@anndeecosita3586 I would interpret "he's being dodgy" in the same context you used, as in "dodging questions." I've also heard it used as a synonym for suspicious. "He's being dodgy/he's behaving suspiciously." Which I feel like is maybe a similar idea to the dodging questions thing, because if someone is dodging questions it would likely make me feel suspicious of their motives for avoiding a direct answer.
      But now you've got me curious as to where "dodgy" did originate, lol.

    • @Lily-jf1pq
      @Lily-jf1pq 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dodgy could be anything you'd want to avoid like that situation/person/whatever seems a little sus, might want to avoid it. I could even use it to describe food that might've gone off like oh that smells a little dodgy, better not eat it

    I think of "shoot the sh!t" as something you do with acquaintances or semi-buddies, or randos at a bar.
    With friends you talk, with randos you "shoot the sh!t".
    It's not a forever classification. I have many good friends I met in a bar and started out just swapping anecdotes with.
