10 things people in England say when they argue
Fighting language: I will teach you slang and British English phrases that people use when arguing or fighting with each other. Most of the examples in this lesson are the kind of English spoken by working class people that you may hear for example on a television talk show. You may also hear some of these phrases in films that feature Cockney gangster characters. Many of these expressions might not make sense to you if you don't already know the meaning, so it's useful to learn the expressions and their meaning. This video will even be useful to North American English speakers who want to understand British shows and writing better. Now go watch the video... you're doing my head in!

TRANSCRIPT
Hi, everyone. In this lesson we're going to look at things that people say when they're arguing; expressions that actually don't mean a lot; they just show that we're annoyed with someone - and these are all British English phrases; and specifically, I would say I've heard many Londoners say. So, this is the kind of... When things get heated and you're having a big fight, we might hear these expressions.
Let's start with: "Having a laugh". So, if you're having an argument with someone, you'd say this when you're in a situation, like an employee shows up for work two hours late. Let's say you work in a really busy store; or even better, you work in a pub. And you can't go home until the other person comes, and you don't hear from them; they don't call or anything. You don't know if they're coming or not coming. Then two hours later, in they come and you say: "You're having a laugh!" That means: "Where have you been? Are you joking? I've been waiting here and waiting to go, and now you just come in." And it has one... One cross, there, because depending on how I say it with the tone, that shows how strong it is. With... "A laugh" is like a joke; it's not as strong as these other examples, which mean something similar.
So, in the next example, here: "You're taking the piss! You are taking the piss!" If I say that to you, you've done something really awful. Let's say, for some stupid reason, I let you borrow my car for the weekend. You were going... You were going somewhere with your girlfriend; you're my friend - I let you borrow my car. But you didn't bring the car back nicely - oh, no. When you brought the car back, the tire was flat; it was all dirty - you don't know where they've taken your car to; and worst of all, inside the car there's all these empty condom wrappers and all this empty alcohol in the back. You just... "What have you done? You took my car and you do this to me. You are taking the piss!"
Next we've got: "Taking liberties". So, let me think of an example for this one. This could be, like, you've got a KZread channel and some other teacher comes along and just starts... Just starts copying you, basically. Then: "You are taking liberties! You know you are taking liberties by doing that. You are. You're copying. You're taking liberties."
Next one: "You're doing my head in! Can you just stop? Can...? Can you just stop? Stop talking on and on; you're doing my head in." When someone is "doing your head in", it's too much noise; it's too much speaking; they're going on and on and on; you don't want to listen; you feel stressed. "You're doing my head in!" Just: "I'm feeling emotional now; you're doing my head in."
Next is: "You're out of order! You're out of order!" Someone would say: "You're out of order" when they would... Oh, yeah. You're having a... This is when things get serious, right? Perhaps you're out in a pub. Things are getting really heated, and it looks like a fight's... Maybe a fight's going to start, and someone pushes you. They actually push you or they get in your face, and they're like... They're like this in your face. You then say: "You're out of order! You pushed me. You got in my face. You're out of order!" So, "out of order"... When something's in order, it's tidy and good and nice, and the way it should be. When something's out of order, it's gone way too far; it's way too far.
Okay, so now we can take: "Taking the piss" and "Taking liberties" and put them into nouns. So, we can call people: "piss-takers". "You're a piss-taker. You're an absolute piss-taker." If someone's a piss-taker, they're always taking liberties, pushing a bit, asking for a bit too much, not doing exactly what they say they're going to do; this person, you don't want to deal with them because everything they do is not what they say.

Thanks Jade. This is really useful. I learned English in Canada and, when I came to the UK, everybody was taking the piss ! At first I thought Brits were having some kind of problem with urinating
These lessons are very helpful for Americans who are planning to work or have an extended stay in the UK. Thank you!!!
You forgot to mention the best british insult from Snatch: "Save your breath to cool your porridge." :D

thanks you so much
I can use few of them with my british client.. nice stuff Jade.
In Canada we say instead of “You’re doing my head in” we say “You’re giving me a headache” “Now piss off”
Great as ever
"get over it the done is done" you make my day
Some of these words sound more light fighting language, especially pre-fight depending on the opponent's current mood.
Thanks
Thanks Cher
It is a very interesting lesson.
Great Teacher
*Tiene los ojos más increíble del mundo! Son azules con un toque de turquesa!*
Video is great, Jade!
Cool cheers 👍
there is one more actually: I used to go to the pub in Surrey Quays and there was a fight there every evening, my fav sentence: ‘I’m ready fo’ ya!’ Proper Cockney lot was on it all the time.
super great
Hi teacher! Can you make a video of how to correctly use "due" in the sentence? Thank you.
You're my favourite teacher.

Hi Jade how are you doing I love your videos the are very excellent and important to me thanks a lot and have a great weekend my beautiful teacher
I love your voice.
Great video as always. "At the end of the day..." = when a chav is trying to sound like a PhD. Also, to sound super-chav, finish the same sentence with the super-intelligent tail question, "You know what I mean?"
Best
Your accent is so nice Jade

Condom wrappers and all this empty alcohol in the back😂😂😂😂 That's because she is fabulous and unique✌😎
Ohhh ...Jaahhyyyd !!! Whooo kerrrs about the sumptuous English language when an adorable tart such as yuuu .. majestically articulates. Why....... you could be explaining the recipe for plain old boiled cabbage and I would be enthralled...you could be scientifically describing glacial flow at a glacial pace and my attention would be undivided. A Julia Child's bit would be a smash hit !! Huhhh......OK.....You are a professional after all ......so I guess I should extend a proper gratitude for the education... shall I say... THANK YOU GODDESS OF PLANET BRITAINNIA !!! MY ENGLISH HAS IMPROVED MARKEDLY !!
Hello Jada, you have a very good teacher and I wanted to ask you if you teach skype lessons.Necdet
In my country we say on my mother’s head or on my father’s head. This does not mean one is sincere. Thank you for the lesson...
hey.madam, how are you doing? Thanks for helping us. please, what does mean with due acknowledgement and as far as the future is concerned .please thanks.
"out of order" in Australia means machine does not work
You are my dream Jade😍😘
2:43 i thought that the brits loves the teas but she is ignoring it 😼😼
If somebody stopped me going home for two hours, I don't think I would be saying that you're having a laugh!! I would be saying something like 'how dare you turn up at this time I've had it with you and eff off'!!
I goddamn adore the british accent
jade your hair stryle is very beautiful
Curious here. Do the English corrupt, as many Americans do, the perfecting logical "I could not (couldn't) care less" to "I could care less"? Or is only in America that this verbal laziness takes place?
I like you a lot, Jade
Jade is so beautiful! I am in love!

She somehow got seriously hot during the last couple of years. Rare that a woman gets better looking as she gets older.
Do you do this course in Arabic?
You do a very good Catherine Tate impression and im not pullin ya plonker

This is the British way to insult someone
Is there a someone who did that to you? ;")
Get over it - done and dusted

4:13 you mustn't spell the " r " sound if it is at the end of a word!!!! Order ❎ Orda ✅
I hope people around you are just nice, so you don't need that words
Sorry I translate thinking in my native lenguage
The British accent harder for understanding than American. Maybe it seems to me .
Feel like there’s a story behind the condoms in the car.
You're missing three words starting with F, S and C...
You look so different now.
