From Japan! I'm learning English with your videos! Japanese word OCHIRU(To Fall) often means to suddenly fall asleep. fall=crash??? It's interesting!

Some of these slangs I don't use as a native. I think some are regional dialects. Here are some I use more often: - I never "crash" when referring to sleep, I use "drift off" when talking about someone falling asleep or daydreaming - I've never used "knock" to describe a bad remark. One word I do use is "rap", as in a "bad rap". It sometimes can refer to a bad reputation as well. - I rarely use "jonesing", instead I use "craving" or "dying", such as "I'm dying for ice cream" (It doesn't have anything to do with death) - I never used "zonked", EVER. I use "pooped" to refer to tired.

Crash means to sleep, but not necessarily suddenly. It is usually used in the context of sleeping somewhere you normally don't sleep, as in ''Can I crash at your place?''

3:00 *"Creep" is used as a noun. "Creepy" is the adjective form, and a syllable was cut to make the noun.

The slang "Shotgun" comes from the stagecoach time where a person with a shotgun rode next to the stagecoach driver to protect the stagecoach. It was started when Westerns were popular on TV.

To provide the context means a lot to us. For one thing, it means they are from authentic English, which makes the learning of this language more meaningful. And for another, it means adding the learning environment(e.g. even include it with Cartoons) more variety, which makes the video never be bored. Learning sth is not just for the most diligent ones, but for us the vast majority, who easily get bored when learning anything in more than a few minutes.

But you forgot the most used ones..... Bro, brospeh, dude - All refer to a guy. Bro usually is a friend and dude is any guy Bra - Referrers to a girl Wasted - Multiple things but usually drunk, Can also be tired Tipsy - A little drunk but not totally drunk Chill - Hang out with someone NetFlix and chill - Watch a movie with someone *wink* *wink*. It means to have sex. You don't actually watch a movie most of the time Bae - Your lover or someone you love, like sexually, not sibling love Queen - An idol. Someone you admire or look up to. Usually in the gay community Yaasss - Yes for gays. An excited yes. Like you are saying OMG! Yes! Shade (throwing shade) - Shade is insults. Throwing shade is when you insult someone but not directly. So instead of saying "Your hair sucks!" you'd try to low key insult them by saying something like "your hair looks like my moms from 10 years ago". To you, your mom's hair sucked 10 years ago but the person you threw shade at may not know that. You "threw shade" because you insulted them, but it wasn't obvious to anyone who doesn't know how you feel about your moms hair. Tea (spilling the tea)- Gossip! Ooo girl spill the tea! It means to gossip. The tea is the gossip and spilling it is to tell someone. If someone says only "tea", especially if they pretend to drink something after saying "tea", they are not referring to gossip. "tea" refers to a situation they don't like but instead of calling the person involved out they say tea and pretend nothing is happening. It's the same as if they said: "but that's none of my business". For example, if I saw a pregnant woman drinking at a bar I may give her side-eye and say tea while sipping my water. By saying tea I'm saying that I disagree with her actions but I'm going to pretend as if she's not performing those actions.

Hey guys. This is bianca if you wanna practice your Spanish I’m here. And so I can improve my English as well ✋

For the sake of those who are learning English, here are a few observations: SHOTGUN: In my opinion, the more common phrase is "to ride shotgun," which means along side the driver. I've never heard of "calling shotgun." But I'm no high-schooler, either. Save this for kids. Older adults won't even understand it. CREEP: it's a NOUN. "He is a creep." "That creep just hit on me." ("To hit on" means to make a sexual advance.) The adjective form is "creepy." "That guy is really creepy!" Related to that is to give or get "the creeps: "That guy gives me the creeps!" Don't forget that slang usually isn't permanent - slang words appear, then after a few years, fall out of use. "Buck" for "dollar" is an exception - it has been around for a very long time. It's always good to understand slang words, but don't obsess about using them. Slang is generally informal, and may be considered rude in some social situations.

"Shutgun" is not limited to the younger generations. I heard people using it in the 1950s. (I'm 75.) Also, "creep" in the sense you explain dates from the late 19th century. Some slang is just so great that it becomes a regular word, and in fact, "creep" is listed in Merriam-Webster's as a regular old noun (not an adjective, like "creepy") -- not really slang at all.

Love your work especially those scenes or short clips in which the slangs was used. Please do that in every video lesson that helps me a lot to remind things/slangs.

Thanks for your comment. You're right. Slang is very informal so it's mostly overlooked in classroom settings. Mostly, I think it's useful for learners to comprehend slang if they're listening to someone speak or watching TV/movie. But I think it's always fun to learn. 😃👍

‘Creep’ doesn’t exactly mean ‘an annoying person’. It’s more like someone who makes you feel uncomfortable in a kind of scary way.

Great list... except for "zonked" 😂 More common alternative slang words/expressions would be: "beat", "running on E", and "worn out". Use these to express how tired you are. Please don't say zonked. Lol

I grew up in NE Tx, and I used zonked. But you're right in some words are used in some regions more than others. Soda/cola/coke/soft drink is a good example. Some areas use soda, others used coke as a generic for any soft drink.

Coke or Pop is used in Chicago. Never soda as soda is ice cream and a cabonated drink.

Here's a good one to throw in. The word "wicked". That's so "wicked" man. It's used to describe something that is weird, or strange.
