The word lieutenant entered English during the 100 Years War, say about 1350. It meant a person who 'holds the place' of another and was a military rank. The English got it from the Burgundians (they were allies) in whose dialect it was pronounced something like "lievtenant" - with the U sounding like a V. It's always been pronounced 'leftenant' in Britain (though the Navy says 'l'tenant). And 'leftenant' was how the US Army (but not the Navy or Marines) pronounced it till the 1890s.

"He bought it..." Meaning he paid her for sex. Hence Blackadder's reaction. Only for it to be a misunderstanding of course. Bought it being another way of saying 'Got killed'...

Lieutenant (same spelling) is pronounced as "lef-tenant" in the UK. No, we don't know where we got the "F" sound from. There are a lot of conflicting etymologies to explain it but sometimes we just have to accept... we invented the language and we enjoy annoying foreign learners by throwing in the odd curve ball.

My understanding was we copied the rank from the French during the Napoleonic wars because we wanted an adult (so not a subaltern) between Sergeants and Captains but deliberately pronounced it differently/anglicised the pronunciation so as to hide the fact we’d copied a French idea.

'He bought it" quite a lot of double meanings packed into that one. In a war "he bought it" means he got killed. But Blackadder takes it as meaning he has to pay

German spy. Within 20 seconds the other patient speaks german. 🤣

"I'm full of spunk right now..." I had to laugh there, as spunk is British slang for....well, male ejaculate...

'Bought it' i.e. to buy something. Blackadder thought she wanted paying for sex

Expectorant is something that helps loosen mucus, so there are cough syrups and honey that are expectorants.

Ha I love your interventions they are sometimes funnier than the stuff you are watching 😅

Hull is in the east riding of Yorkshire it's pronounced 'Ull by the locals i worked there for three years

"leftennant" is Lieutenant. It's an American thing to pronounce it "loo-tennant". It's pronounced "lef-tennant" by Brits, Kiwis and Aussies (except some younger people who've grown up watching American films and shows, unless they actually serve or are born into a military family)

Stephen Fry is the undisputed star of Blackadder.. outstanding actor and National..World Treasure ❤❤.

Lieutenant is the correct pronunciation of 'lootenant'. We say it with an F because Us used to be Vs. It literally means a tenant in lieu.

This was set in WW1 where even medical professionals were advocating smoking as a healthy thing to do. The coughing was getting rid of toxins, took them years to realize the cigarettes were the cause of the toxins in the first place.

Everyone else answered the other stuff, but it seemed like you didn't totally get the ending. Because there was no acknowledgement you were wrong. The Nurse wasn't THE spy. She was only A spy that Blackadder accidentally outted. George and his letters was the spy all along as setup and called back with the Walrus-face line. So all the celebration that you guessed who the spy was early on. Nope, you didn't.😛

'Bought it', meaning killed. Blackadder misunderstands, and assumes he has to pay for the sex.

The nurse is Miranda Richardson, who also plays Elizabeth I in Blackadder 2.

Lieutenant is a french word, which means 'place holder', i.e position/rank, which got absorbed into the English language and we corrupted the pronunciation into lef-tenant which is how it's been said here since at least the 14th century. One theory is that in old french it was sometimes spelt leuftenant, but nobody knows for sure. In the US it's pronounced close to the original french, this goes back to Webster and his bastardised corruption of our beautiful language, (may he rot in hell!😁). Webster was very nationalistic and therefore anti British, which influenced his spellings and pronunciation, so I assume he used the french pronunciation for that reason. Top tip: Never say you're full of spunk to a British audience if you make to avoid a lot of sniggers as it's slang here for sperm.😁

The pauses are awkward dude!

Most of You Tube video's, that show excerps from popular and famous TV programmes etc are subject to Compywrite fees. AND, or, are limmited to short period runs, and adverts. Also, limmited screen sizes. It's all to preserve the sales and fees of such recorded works. Nobody likes it, but most of us understand the situation, So, thank You young Sir.

Ignore people telling you what to watch or look forward to. Just enjoy the whole series like most of us did.

He bought it means he was killed. Blackadder thought she meant paid for sex.

Hull university is the butt of jokes because despite the fact it is a decent university it doesn't have the prestige of Oxford and Cambridge. Class plays into it as well - Hull is in the North you see.

Still mispronouncing the name Bernard - well, he's been "getting away with it all his life"... The idea is George would have been able to get his bean-spilling letters past the army censors just because he's privileged, in with the officer-class via Melchett (see eps 1 and 6) He raised the spectre of German women with cut-glass English accents - one the one hand that brings to mind Hitler's favorite opera diva, but one prefers to remember a certain dazzling beauty who might be found bound to a wheel...or under a fountain

McJIBBIN, I have to say I laughed when you came out with a 'FECAL error' - that WAS amusing... 😅 😂 🤣 Also Lieutenant is how 'you' Yanks pronounce it, while we Brits say 'LEFTtenant' because of the French Norman influence (when the English aristocracy spoke French for just over 300 years) and why so many words and phrases are French in origin.

Pause away bro.... That's why we're here
