Thanks for watching! Just thought I’d mention that “naff” can also mean something is a bit distasteful or unfashionable (eg. Ugly trousers you see in a shop). See you next week! 🤓

Those are really British words. The greeting at the begging of the video was: "You know, oh, it's a funny thing, you know?" Bloody - 'Curse word' - something bad happens or to emphasize Scrap - Physical fight with somebody Row - vocal/verbal argument with somebody Cuppa - To have a Cup of tea - you fancy a cuppa? or a 'cuppa of beer' (more accurate example LOL) Snog - Passionately kiss someone (make out in American) Naff - Not very good (a bit rubbish) Knickers- The lower half of ladies underwear (weird often British expression, I wonder why?) Could you give us an example of daily chatting? Fluke - to do it by luck Chuffed - really happy and pleased with yourself Thanks a lot, Elliot. Excellent lesson.

i'm guessing, the usage of knickers is when u say to your friend when she wears a short skirt until it shows her underwear... (maybe something like that)

That “Bloody Hell” reminded me of Ron Weasley and also my final test on English Literature 😅 Thanks Elliot, appreciate it.
After scrapping and rowing, some snogging would be chuffing. But sometimes, if there is no fluke, it turns into being naffing. Eventually, better to have a cuppa ! 😜 Stay safe 🇮🇹🍀🇬🇧

You do have to be careful with 'chuffing' if you're in some parts of England though, because it's a swear (curse) word as well.

It seems many friends remember 'Bloody Hell' from Ron in Harry Potter. Elliott is the best pronunciation teacher in my view. Harry Potter inspired me of learning British accent. Not only my listening is better, but also speaking. I then follow Elliott's teaching from that.

Understandable explanation, so many helpful new words from modern language 👋
