Generally where I come from (which is Northern England), something that is "honking" means that something stinks, and not a nice stink either. I know I can't be alone here.
Max Farrelly because you are from that ignorant younger generation who are obsessed with vanity and don’t know anything pre the year that you were born.
I'm British too and I've heard of 'Taking the Mickey', 'Richard the Third' and 'Collywobbles' Although I only heard of that one because my nan is 93 and she says it all the time because it was common when she was younger.
Ok, I made that joke thinking they can't be that bad. That you throw honked and collywobbles at me. Did you get these slang terms from the Victorians or something?
@Twenty One Crybabies At My Chemical Phandom Disco If I was Cockney, which part of Great Britain am I from? And AWESOME username by the way! I take it its a play on for Twenty One Pilots, My Chemical Romance, and Panic! At The Disco? :D
futuramabender20 Yeah it is thanks. Cockney is from London. But it's a really strong, not posh accent from a certain part. A lot of my family are Cockney.
65Britishbulldog wanna know some old timey slang the US has? "Hey slick" (it's the cool way to say hello) "that's poppycock" (basically it means bullshit) "oh that's the bees knees" (something really awesome) I can't think of anymore of them though.
When attempting a British accent, most Americans tend to go really posh or cockney. Also a lot of the time Britain is only associated with England lol.
Posh stands out very much, and is hardly understandable accent, and somehow it's been somewhat widely spoken in some shows and movies that I have seen, but I wont be able to name shows since I didn't cared much for the name of the shows :D
Honking means "disgusting" or "smelly" in Scotland and "boke" means vomit/feel sick. Example: "Do you want to see my mould collection? Naw, that's honking man! You're gunna give me the boke."
I love all the English people in the comments talking about how they've never heard these words or phrases. They're probably from some small area. For example, I live near Pittsburgh, and a lot of people there call rubber bands gumbands (I don't cause that sounds weird) But if someone in another country would look up American phrases and find that one, people from everywhere else in America would be like "wtf are gumbands?"
Sounds nothing like Australian. And if you were to ask anyone who isn't themself British, 99% would say it sounds British. Maybe hardly anyone speaks like that In England today any more, but the accent was certainly a Brittish one.
I really dont care im just saying from a wider prespective there is one certain type of glasweigan accent that is most commonly noted as a "british" accent, im not disagreeing with you but its hard for you to see it as you probably live in the United Kingdoms
John Bolton Same as the Brits think there is a singular "american" accent. Honestly the comments section on GMM is much more positive but all these Brits are triggered.
it annoys me when people assume being British means being english No, it's to be from britain like Wales, Scotland OR England (Edit) *And* *Northern* *Ireland* (will everyone shut up now?)
From the second question, anyone else make the connection between "Nipples so cold they could cut glass" and Lin-Manuel Miranda's impromptu rap on Ellen; "Suddenly the water's colder than fudge ripple; I could cut this shower door open with my nipple!" or am I the only Mythical Beast completely obsessed with Hamilton? Come on, I can't be the only one!
As soon as I saw the video I thought, oh no. If you used any of these slang terms outside of certain city or region the people would just think you were weird. The only one of these words I have ever heard anyone say without getting a weird look was mickey.
@sue slater I wonder what would happen if they heard the stronger accents. I would be surprised if they could not understand my normal accent (Bristolian). That would be a funny video.
Alfie Pollington they used it incorrectly. Normally, it would be if someone told you something bad that happened to them you would say 'hard cheese' in return to show passive empathy, like it literally replaces the phrase 'bad luck', not the noun bad luck. Surprisingly, that was one of the only ones I did know, but I didn't get it straight away as they used it so wrongly haha
ive heard honk in the context of something being smelly but that's it. this whole video is just an example of why you shouldn't use language for entertainment if you don't know the slang from locals. it comes across uneducated and slightly offensive. to which they'll probably say 'dont get offended your generation is so easily offended'. cant win.
Ah, bhaji is a veg side dish as well as the onion gram flour fritter. There's so many dialects and vernaculars and generational variation. It seems like an older phrase to me, partly archaic. There might be some degree of colonial derivation or encouragement. A sense of an argument that is a distraction, or spicy maybe, a bit of a side thing!? There's also a ice cream/tea&coffee&butties type kiosk and cafe on a canal boat in Saltaire, West Yorkshire.... called Argy Bargy. The team should definitely visit if they come here in the summer!
Harry Stockle aww unlucky. We are great! We have squirrels and the cute little birds and the amazing sunsets and the tea and the crumpets and the fish and chips and bangers and mash and the... Other stuff....... We have the cute people and the very tall people and very short people and very middle people and cool schools and great knowledge and free healthcare and CRUMPETS ABD TEA AND sorry..
ShaolinPete you aren't British then? I'm from the UK and I got all of them - pretty sure I've heard all of them used as well but these are more commonly used by the older generation apart from taking the mick.
Agent X996 where are you from specifically? I'm from Northern England, but I'm super interested in regional dialects and language in general, so these slang terms have gotta be a Southern thing surely...
ShaolinPete google it - most of them are generational: Cockney rhyming slang is still in full flow though amongst those that have been brought up with it - or that use it for comic effect (as per link and his accent). I am from the south Midlands (Home Counties) but not a lot of these are in frequent use today as I said.
"oh rubbish, today i was struck with hard cheese" yeah, that's the kinda sentence i say every day xD british slang now is more like "wagwan m80, man's got baccy yeh? got at least ten gram? man'll shank ya if ya don't has it"
AnaxErik4ever It's kinda funny though since it's not quite right. Johnny Depp is maybe the best American I've ever heard pull off a handful of Brit accents, he's kinda awesome actually.
Jack Clements His cockney as Jack Sparrow is legendary now. I wish I had a clip of him in a proper British accent, and not the intentionally stuffy one he did for Barnabas Collins.
L Hutch it's simple: it's about the only kind of British accent we Americans see in movies and most of us don't know British people. I'm sure there's many stereotypes about us that aren't true also but I wouldn't know and wouldn't be offended anyways xD
My TV was left on cycling through GMM episodes last night. It came upon this episode, and my Alexa heard them and decided to play British music and wake me up.
The thumbnail scared me. So did the comments. So did the video. Where's the cheeky Nando's? Where;s the "my g"? Where's the banter? Where's the bait? Where's the "youngers, olders"? Where's the "mandem"? Where's the pulling? WE DESERVE BETTER!!!!!!
Probably because American understanding of the British borders on racism. They seem to think its still the 50s here and it usually just comes across as offensive. Seriously, nothing in this video has been said in britain for 60 years. I want someone to make a video based on the below and sincerely believe anyone says these phrases any more. mentalfloss.com/article/57118/83-old-slang-phrases-we-should-bring-back
*Immediately goes to comments to see what British ppl think of Link's accent *
The British are ballers btw
Theaqwert11 hell yh we are 😂
Theaqwert11 that's why I'm here 😂
Theaqwert11 its kinda londonish
I speak nothing like that and I live in the England I've never heard of them words
As a Brit I'm surprised they found clean British slang when 90% of it is used to insult each other!
Trafford Petitt oh so true
lmao ikr xD
Trafford Petitt bloody hell
Trafford Petitt p. much
hard cheese? oh i have a feeling alot of these will be things we dont actually say
yeah these are like victorian era slang.....what a shame
James Anderson this was funny but they could of used proper ones !:/
Mei Wilson yeah our actual current slang is just as ridiculous, would have been just as much fun
James Anderson I have British friends, I'm Canadian and it's so funny when they use slang that I don't understand x)
Mei Wilson not to nit pick.
but the word "of" is not a replacement for the word "have"
Generally where I come from (which is Northern England), something that is "honking" means that something stinks, and not a nice stink either.
I know I can't be alone here.
I'm from the south east and honking means farting where I'm from lol
Poppy Herbert same, that's what I guessed
Yeah, means a disgusting smell in Scotland!
honking is bad smedl or farting (north east england)
Same in the north west
Rhett's shirt and the blanket on the couch match
Erin Ragan damn got pinned
Erin Ragan What?!?!ONLY TWO REPLIES?
great now I'm just staring at it the whole episode
Connor Blackburn hi 😅
oh ya
Do the Americans think we still live in the Victorian times or something.
Bjorn Anarchy no more so than Brits think that Americans all live in the south/Texas.
LeafLock so not much then?
LeafLock more like if you have a southern accent like I do then your automatically from Texas
Bjorn Anarchy I agree I felt quite offended
Mark R it's not racist. British is not a race. And he's clearly just being silly. There are lots of videos of brits being silly with American accents
I'm British, I've only heard taking the mickey. I also like how Link's British accent isn't posh but actually somewhat realistic.
Sparky5599 nahh thats not realistic at all 😂
Sparky5599 kinda Cockney maybe?
in london its not too uncommon.
The cockney accent is the best accent
Sparky5599 ikr
It's impossible to replicate a British accent since there's like 50 in Britain :D
Which means replicate a British accent would be replicate any of these 50, so you make no sense.
Yep theres to many 😂
Cal I’d argue there’s more
true dat, but ngl Link's impression was on point xD
Am I the only one who really enjoyed link's British accent?
The Undertaker me me me!!
The Undertaker you arent
I loved it. He was obviously overdoing it on purpose and it was hilarious imo. 😆
The Undertaker it sounded more Australian to me 😂
me
I'm British and I've never heard these in my life lol, (Apart from mickey)
yea i kinda fell insulted now lol
IamMatthew yea I'd never heard of honked for being sick !?
yeah apparently they think every british person is a londoner
IamMatthew Some are old, also depends on where you live.
I am British, and thinking the same thing.
That moment when your English and have never heard any of these
GTA JOE that's great that you're English ;)
lmao ikr I only knew "taking the mick"
GTA JOE i literally only know taking the mik
GTA JOE relatable af
GTA JOE apart from taking the Mick, the rest must have been from medieval times coz ive never heard of any of them
I'm from the U.K. And I have never heard of any of these
Guessing your not cockney then ha im from up north and most of them iv not heard and one i have i heard watching east enders lol
really?
Max Farrelly because you are from that ignorant younger generation who are obsessed with vanity and don’t know anything pre the year that you were born.
@@buckbumble Spot on. Pretty much all of these are used regularly.
buckbumble why do you have to bash someone to make that statement. You know nothing about them, just made that conclusion based on nothing
I'm British and I've never heard or said any of this
Same lol
BenIsLife Im not british and I only heard of take the mickey
I'm British too and I've heard of 'Taking the Mickey', 'Richard the Third' and 'Collywobbles' Although I only heard of that one because my nan is 93 and she says it all the time because it was common when she was younger.
My guess is that you must be fairly young then.
why no Manchester slang?
I'm British and I've never heard the slang for vomit.
Tomski H me neither lol
Tomski H never heard of one as well
cos its not legit, it came from an american made film where they used honked as 'british' slang but its fake bro.
Tomski H I'm British and I never have heard any of this British slang
Tomski H I think it's cockney slang
Im British let the "I'm British and I've never said that" comments begin
Ok, I made that joke thinking they can't be that bad. That you throw honked and collywobbles at me. Did you get these slang terms from the Victorians or something?
shaun bose Yeah I HAVE heard of them but these are all really cockney terms.
@Twenty One Crybabies At My Chemical Phandom Disco If I was Cockney, which part of Great Britain am I from? And AWESOME username by the way! I take it its a play on for Twenty One Pilots, My Chemical Romance, and Panic! At The Disco? :D
futuramabender20 Yeah it is thanks. Cockney is from London. But it's a really strong, not posh accent from a certain part. A lot of my family are Cockney.
I'm British and I've never said that
I am British, and I only knew half of these.
charlotte Mason
Yeah, I've literally never heard anyone say most of these.
me neither, I got most of them wrong XD
Ive only heard argy bargy and mickey
Arrowhead Mason0310 I agree.
Arrowhead Mason0310 same
most of these are slang only used like 50 or more years ago. Think of the kind of weird slang your granddad uses.
Jacob Ellinger you're right. some of these are old and not current, modern day slang. My parents say these. they are over 80.
65Britishbulldog wanna know some old timey slang the US has?
"Hey slick" (it's the cool way to say hello) "that's poppycock" (basically it means bullshit) "oh that's the bees knees" (something really awesome) I can't think of anymore of them though.
***** maybe it's both?
Lol We used to say 'poppycock' and 'the bees knees' as well. : )
I'm 18 and use all of these on a regular basis...
When attempting a British accent, most Americans tend to go really posh or cockney. Also a lot of the time Britain is only associated with England lol.
Poppy Herbert probably because 55 million of the 65 million Britons are English.
I live in sheffield, england and we have a yorkshire accent here for from cockney
Yeah i know its pretty insulting most people in england have yorkshire accent
Posh stands out very much, and is hardly understandable accent, and somehow it's been somewhat widely spoken in some shows and movies that I have seen, but I wont be able to name shows since I didn't cared much for the name of the shows :D
always queen english and it’s bloody offensive
I am British and don't know anyone who speaks like this but it really does crack me up
I have also not ever heard any of these phrases
I wish we talked like that
Scottish here but ive only heard of collywobbles and taking the micky
luscious hammer true that
Couldn't help but read that in a British accent since you said you were a Brit ...
2:27 Rhett's go-to comforting mechanism is always to drink from his cup ,lol.
Heard "argy bargy" and thought of the restaurant from Eastenders lol
I was really hoping this episode would be on modern London slang. I've never heard all but two of these
+Loretta Rose alot of them were yorkshire terms lol confused all the more by links east london accent lmao
that's why i thought it meant food! ahh lmfao
you probably thought of onion bhaji
Micmada lol no, on a show called Eastenders, there was/is (not sure) a restaurant called the argy bargy
I'm British and the only one of these I knew was "taking the mickey" (we say it all the time in our family)
Joey Wild same
North we say taking the piss
Mojo Deadman yeah same
Im scouser to i knew kind of all of these but i barely use them, i dont have the Scouse accent, so it really doesnt work :P
Mojo Deadman We're midlands, so we stick with 'mickey' XD
This is my #1 priority in the morning
JaybirdGaming TV no,safety is number one priority
+Mad Craic WOW,,,,,,,, THATS SO COOL......AMAZING
JaybirdGaming TV same
boom
JaybirdGaming TV you are so right
You don't share an argy bargy, you have an argy bargy
🤣🤣
I'm British, but the only one of them I have heard of is "taking the Mickey"...
XBCPG I thought it was "taking the mick"
XBCPG I'm british and I have heard all of them but no one uses them. It's soooooo funny
mhari0 it can be mick or mickey
mhario It can be both
XBCPG "your taking the mick " or " your taking the mickey"
Life would be better if we all had instant snowmen on hand
seidimeow YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
seidimeow how do you always come up something too comment? It's also always like the #1 comment!😂
seidimeow I will be figuring out a way to beat you to the punch tomorrow.
Kuro Kajin same😆
seidimeow Totally 😆
Not exactly used in everyday conversations but hey, at Alltime HQ we got them all! Loving your mock accents guys. Very Dickensian.
Rhett: Alexa, play British music
Alexa: shuffling British music
* stormzy starts playing *
Imagine 😂
Link's accent physically hurts me
Lydia LOL!!
It's decent to be fair, just can't pronounce some words like us
Lydia OMG MY NAMES LYDIA
My name is also Lydia!!!
looks like someone can't take a joke
I think a fun, new segment they could do is "trust me, I'm an engineer" where they "fix" broken things. 😜
#GMM
And their catchphrase could be "there I fixed it!" :P
No British person says these lol
except for taking the mickey
procasualgamer At least, not in the way they said them!
procasualgamer I don't think you can talk for every one
The Gitchy Pengin I've never heard any of these said
I have but never in sentences like those.
After hearing links ascent I don't think I want to be British anymore
I'm British and i've never heard the term hard cheese before 😂
Same here. I've also never heard of crusty dragon, or honking meaning vomiting.
Honking means "disgusting" or "smelly" in Scotland and "boke" means vomit/feel sick.
Example:
"Do you want to see my mould collection?
Naw, that's honking man! You're gunna give me the boke."
who else cringed every time link spoke in a British accent? XD
Mckena Smith meeeee
Mckena Smith everyone
Mckena Smith OMG I thought I was the only one who wanted him to shut the F*ck up. Speak in his normal voice.
There's no such thing as a British accent though
GypC VortX just about to say there are too many accents in Britain to say British accent
*TRIGGERED BRIT*
I love all the English people in the comments talking about how they've never heard these words or phrases. They're probably from some small area. For example, I live near Pittsburgh, and a lot of people there call rubber bands gumbands (I don't cause that sounds weird) But if someone in another country would look up American phrases and find that one, people from everywhere else in America would be like "wtf are gumbands?"
I think you'll find we're from all over the place!
Link sounded far from british, and ive never heard most of these, and im britishXD
sounds more Australian at times XD
Same!
Sounds nothing like Australian. And if you were to ask anyone who isn't themself British, 99% would say it sounds British. Maybe hardly anyone speaks like that In England today any more, but the accent was certainly a Brittish one.
Tom Holmez you're from 🇬🇧: do use Those terms in 🇬🇧?
Harlley Gurrola nobody uses those terms we stipped in at least the 50s
I'm British and I failed every ... single ... one
TheSeriousBadger same here 😂 what are these ?!
+TheSeriousBadger yeah same
TheSeriousBadger I failed and facepalmed at the same time..... there accents r typical American xD
I'm glad I'm not the only one 😂😂
Duuuuude you are always in the top comments hahaha! Also fan of your videos, keep them up man and you'll be big!
I'm from England and I couldn't answer half of them
FWH Yup.
Link was hyper in this episode. Super cute. :)
Seriously?
😍
@@earthtoashlyn I did not wanna say it myself, so thank you.
I agree so cute
As an English person, I can safely say that I have never cringed so much during a GMM video :')
I have never heard any of these and I'm English! If you said any of these to someone in England I think they'd just look at you like you're inane!
Actually to take the mick is sometimes used!
*insane
You need to get out more if that's what you believe.
Daniel W it's true tho, it's archaic basically
Izzy belle they're black country, bug it all depends on which part you're from
I'm British and ive only heard of 3 of them
mickey collywobles argy bargy
Demnea Fry same
Demnea Fry I am black British
most of them are like 70's slang
sme here, and i don't agree with their definition of collywobbles, for me "to have the collywobbles" is to be nervous
Demnea Fry I'm British and I only heard of mickey and argy bargy
Rhett and Link, I appreciate you guys doing the right thing and calling gif by it's correct name. You guys are the best.
As a British person I highly appreciate Links accent. I AM IN TEARS 😂
Love how Americans think there is a "British" accent.
John Bolton there is
Skjoldur Kristjánsson there isn't strictly a singular British accent there is multiple like technically glaswegian is a british accent
I really dont care im just saying from a wider prespective there is one certain type of glasweigan accent that is most commonly noted as a "british" accent, im not disagreeing with you but its hard for you to see it as you probably live in the United Kingdoms
John Bolton Same as the Brits think there is a singular "american" accent. Honestly the comments section on GMM is much more positive but all these Brits are triggered.
John Bolton Ikr, theres different accents for different places in Britain.
I'm from England and I've only ever heard "take the mickey" - but Link's accent was absolutely splendid X-D
I've just realised how many Brits have commented as well :P
it annoys me when people assume being British means being english
No, it's to be from britain like Wales, Scotland OR England
(Edit) *And* *Northern* *Ireland* (will everyone shut up now?)
Max Jefferison someone's triggered
it annoys me too
and Northern Ireland
Jacko481 Northern Ireland is in the UK not Britain
Poppy Herbert They are British citizens though
From the second question, anyone else make the connection between "Nipples so cold they could cut glass" and Lin-Manuel Miranda's impromptu rap on Ellen; "Suddenly the water's colder than fudge ripple; I could cut this shower door open with my nipple!" or am I the only Mythical Beast completely obsessed with Hamilton? Come on, I can't be the only one!

Emily W ^ Exactly
Omg, MY name's Emily W too :O
Just saying
@sue slater I wonder what would happen if they heard the stronger accents. I would be surprised if they could not understand my normal accent (Bristolian). That would be a funny video.
Emily W omg my name in real life is Emily wardale XD
Tori Lee omg same I am Emily wardale XD
I'm from England and I've never heard the term hard cheese
Alfie Pollington i've never heard of any😂
Alfie Pollington they used it incorrectly. Normally, it would be if someone told you something bad that happened to them you would say 'hard cheese' in return to show passive empathy, like it literally replaces the phrase 'bad luck', not the noun bad luck. Surprisingly, that was one of the only ones I did know, but I didn't get it straight away as they used it so wrongly haha
"Tough cheese" maybe, honk thou? Where did they get these from?
Alfie Pollington I have, from Michael Rosen
ive heard honk in the context of something being smelly but that's it. this whole video is just an example of why you shouldn't use language for entertainment if you don't know the slang from locals. it comes across uneducated and slightly offensive. to which they'll probably say 'dont get offended your generation is so easily offended'. cant win.
Rhett and Link: the only morning people I've ever known.
I'm British and for some reason I thought an argy bargy was a curry
Onion bargy?
Yasmin E lol
Were you thinking of an onion bhaji? 😂
Ah, bhaji is a veg side dish as well as the onion gram flour fritter. There's so many dialects and vernaculars and generational variation. It seems like an older phrase to me, partly archaic. There might be some degree of colonial derivation or encouragement. A sense of an argument that is a distraction, or spicy maybe, a bit of a side thing!?
There's also a ice cream/tea&coffee&butties type kiosk and cafe on a canal boat in Saltaire, West Yorkshire.... called Argy Bargy. The team should definitely visit if they come here in the summer!
www.thefreedictionary.com/argy-bargy

*lmaoo Link had too much fun with this episode...and so did i. I love it so much hehehe* 🙏😂
nobody in the UK has ever said any of these
ShaolinPete I know like
I use and hear 'taking the mick' quite often, but never any of the others
ShaolinPete you aren't British then? I'm from the UK and I got all of them - pretty sure I've heard all of them used as well but these are more commonly used by the older generation apart from taking the mick.

Change the title to British slang said by no one since 1948
Link turned into salad fingers real quick.
I only know one of these slang terms... and I'm British for goodness sake! 😂
I feel ashamed.... I've never heard these except the mickey one. And I'm British... :(
Andrej Nikolov?? your name is definitely not as British as you think you are
Alfred the pineapple You know that he could have foreign parents, but he was born and raised in England? Think a little before you comment.
Reeve Isaacs That is right I have a friend called Nazia and she's lived in England all her life
yeah, same here
i genuinely think that most of the English population, like me do not know most of these
Link's voice at the end made me fall out of my chair
Same, I didnt see it coming at all lol
Can I just say, I'm British and I've never heard of honking, crusty dragons or clangers. Great video though!!! And great accent Link! kinda...
Honking and clangers are a bit old fashioned. I've never heard of a "crusty dragon" though and would be interested to know where they got that from.
Im British and I have never heard any of these
I know right
Im Lynx I'm British and your obviously a pleb
Alfred the pineapple what is a pleb???
Im Lynx they are stereo types and the elderly used them a lot
we don't talk like that
IM BRITISH AND HONKED IS DEFINITELY A NOSE THING, OR A CAR THING. NOT VOMITING! Where did they get this information from lol
Luca K p
damn right.
Luca K It's both, honked is like it stinks but where I am people say honk up etc for vomit. Weird English people hah
Luca K Where the hell did they get this stuff?
Agreed
*to take the mickey* is actually an Irish saying 🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀
Up the RA btw
This is My TH-cam name YEEEEOOOOOOOOOO
We use it here in Scotland too
Also said in Northern Ireland which is British.
Coemghen lol you're about to trigger the entire population of Ireland
WE DON'T TALK LIKE THAT ANYMORE
Can I have a spot of tea from the finest of Establishment?
I agree Stop treating us like idiots and impersonating our way of speaking if anything go make fun of your own language and way you say things.
Hardcore Gamer TV
We arent making fun of you its just fun speaking like that. At least thats my opinion
Master Yoda
I Am British And Absoluteley Hate Tea- Basically Everyone in My Fam does
yeah... I we dobnt go like tea. Our ascent is aint like that
I've only ever heard of the "takes the mickey" out of all of these 😂😂
I'm British btw
Grace Mullane where I'm from we say "take the mick" rather than "mickey"
Grace Mullane just from Harry Potter
These aren't slang any more!
Maybe 50 or so years ago.....
taking the mick is used
You dropped a clanger there...

Being from Britain, this is so funny to watch😂😂
E Daily ikr!! 😂😂
E Daily you haven't finished the video yet though
E Daily me had an argy bargy mate and I lost. Going threw hard cheese
I wrote this while watching it
E Daily same here
My Alexa responded to Rhett’s voice. It played and stopped British music exactly when Rhett said. 😂
LOL. That one made me laugh !!
As a Brit, 0:14 was painful to watch.
None of these are real slang like wtf? Apart from mickey
Joshua Bryant they are they're just old af
It's different parts of the uk, I'm from North England and we say argy bargy
+Shae Smith I am from North Yorkshire and the only slang that people actually use is mickey
+Shae Smith I'm from the north and have never heard that all my life haha
Most of them are, a couple are the wrong use of the words. A load of codswallop really
Link's british accent is so on point 👌
I'm British and I didn't know most of these 😂😂😂 if only I was born in 1930 I would've done a lot better
Holly Willis so your 86 0-0
oh wait I just read it nvm
tbh im from england and i loved this but seriously am i the only one who doesnt say hard cheese 😹😹
or 50% of these words
or 100% of these words
ThePlatinumPenguinHD yeah true !!
as a British man I am both amused and somewhat insulted by links accent
This. Everything the Americans say about us is quite insulting. They get their information from before the 60s.
NIgHTMaReFortyTwo it's an imitation of an accent...not everybody does great accents so it's just for fun...
This slang is most likely from the south, which is smarter because our northern slang is less family friendly.
Toon I'm from the south and I have never heard these ever this must be old English or something
"oh rubbish, today i was struck with hard cheese" yeah, that's the kinda sentence i say every day xD
british slang now is more like "wagwan m80, man's got baccy yeh? got at least ten gram? man'll shank ya if ya don't has it"
Darth Vader
That's very . . . . Uh . . . Nice? xD I didn't understand a word of it >->
Darth Vader well if you are black and from the south then sure
Darth Vader "I shanked dat yute and dashed it fam"
Darth Vader that ain't British slang mate that's what wiggers talk like. Cos they think they black.
Matt768 nope actually most british kids say that i do but normally for jokes
I'm a Brit and love it when the guys do British accents :D
AnaxErik4ever It's kinda funny though since it's not quite right. Johnny Depp is maybe the best American I've ever heard pull off a handful of Brit accents, he's kinda awesome actually.
Finally an optimistic Brit in the comments!!
Jack Clements His cockney as Jack Sparrow is legendary now. I wish I had a clip of him in a proper British accent, and not the intentionally stuffy one he did for Barnabas Collins.
If you have a sec, I explore and document abandoned places, take a look thanks!
Exploring With Danny Hi
Exploring With Danny John is better
I have never heard of crusty dragon, but there's so many dialects in Britain.
Americans seem to have trouble distinguishing "Britain" and "England" - Britain includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland...
_StephanieAmber are you sure about that? What is the reason why they're not a part of Britain?
Shes right. NI is part of the UK, not great britain.
Jack Peakman I was about to say. northern Ireland is part of the UK but not Britain.
Still, the red diagonal cross within the Union Jack represents Northern Ireland. Its still our flag on that video
Britain is the name of the island. Hope this helps
While it is funny links British accent and stereotypes are insulting
We don't say "a spot of perfect tea governor"
They actually aren't insulting at all if you aren't a baby.
I was like link just stop
Hells Malice BOI what if I said 'ohh all u bloody Americans all have diabetes' how would u feel?
Yeah but he didn't exactly say anything offensive like u all have diabetes did he?
Yo guys!! I just want to thank all of you for the support on my channel and for the subscribers! It really means a lot that you enjoy my videos!
Link is so good at that accent hahaha
I'm British and I haven't heard of half of these slang terms! Also, why is every English accent either Cockney or super posh?? :P
L Hutch it's simple: it's about the only kind of British accent we Americans see in movies and most of us don't know British people. I'm sure there's many stereotypes about us that aren't true also but I wouldn't know and wouldn't be offended anyways xD
L Hutch to be fair he did try scouse but didn't quite pull it off
L Hutch cause we're americans and the only type of British we've known about is that type
that was scouse? i thought he was having a stroke
L Hutch Why do British people think Americans talk in either a Valley Girl accent or a thick Southern one?
I've only heard of argy Bargy and taking the mickey. Americans don't know much about what British people say
Lmao
Liam Karu well they used the internet, its not like they asked other Americans
Liam Karu Surely you've heard of Richard the Third. Everyone knows a bit of Cockney rhyming slang.
Liam Karu I'm american and I know all of these words
Liam Karu Some of these could be older. Don't assume things about people.
XD Link's British accent HAHHAHAHA Im dying
My TV was left on cycling through GMM episodes last night. It came upon this episode, and my Alexa heard them and decided to play British music and wake me up.
The thumbnail scared me. So did the comments. So did the video.
Where's the cheeky Nando's? Where;s the "my g"? Where's the banter? Where's the bait? Where's the "youngers, olders"? Where's the "mandem"? Where's the pulling? WE DESERVE BETTER!!!!!!
Skipping GMM for today, because it's a British based episode
Blue Euphoria thanks for letting us all know
Blue Euphoria why?
right ok? why?
That's the information many of us couldn't get without through today.
Probably because American understanding of the British borders on racism. They seem to think its still the 50s here and it usually just comes across as offensive. Seriously, nothing in this video has been said in britain for 60 years.
I want someone to make a video based on the below and sincerely believe anyone says these phrases any more.

Link's British accent sounded Australian😂
theres a website quiz that can determine what area you grew up in by testing you on which slang you know/use. quite good!
Pause at exactly 0:03 and look at Link's face...
Correction: Both of their faces.
OMG THAT'S AMAZING
Evolution Epoch YAAASSSS BIATCH 😂😂🌮🌵
