In performance circles, theater, film, etc., telling someone good luck became a taboo. Wishing someone good luck before a performance became synonymous with wishing someone the exact opposite, therefore if you are competitive with someone and wish them to perform badly, you wish them good luck as a form of jinx or hex. As a result, wishing someone ill, as in break a leg, actually became a wish for them to do well.

"Break a leg" in American vernacular came from stage plays and theatre. It's always been considered bad luck to wish someone good luck or anything positive before a stage performance. Therefore, the opposite is said, as in "I hope you break you leg.", and that's understood to mean the opposite, as in "Do well." James Gordon Bennett was an American publisher and journalist. He started the New York Herald and helped shape American news journalism as we know it today.

The slang terms discussion was great fun! They should have explained to the Australian girl that Dope had a wider meaning of describing illegal drugs, and like Sick, it only recently had a positive meaning spin. Bae came from a shortening of baby, and also BAE (Before Anyone Else). Badass was another term that went from bad to good. The person was literally a Bad..Ass, meaning intimidating and mean. But then it turned into describing someone who was determined, and not to be messed with, in a strong and positive way. Break a leg came from theater where people were superstitious and thought that wishing someone success would jinx them, so they said the opposite. Gordon Bennett was a controversial writer in the 1800s who pushed social convention and got rich, and his son James Gordon Bennett Jr. was wild and extravagant, spending his fortune with an outrageous lifestyle. The "Life of Riley" is a similar slang term. I remember Codswollop from Harry Potter. A Dish was the term for a pretty girl from the 1920s forward, like a special treat or dessert dish. I had always heard nosh, like to chow down on tasty food. Years ago we had Devo, meaning de-evolution, like the punk band. This would also be a fun show to do with people from non-English speaking countries, where they no doubt have slang terms that we couldn't easily guess their meaning.

The word “Doping” is also used by the Australian media when a sporting person gets caught out for using illicit drugs - it’s always termed a “doping scandal” - but anyone under like 40 would generally know that dope means great/cool/awesome as well.

I'm sure this has been said in the comments previously, but "nosh" is Yiddish. Just like many other Yiddish words it has made it's way into common slang use. It's found it's way into many languages as well. It means food like snacks, anything not a main meal. It's usually something served at a social gathering.

Dishy kinda makes sense. In older American English (I think 1930s-50s) there was a phrase like "Oh, ain't she a dish?" Or "She's quite a dish!" Usually men used it to describe a hot woman. I feel like I've heard it a lot in black and white movies

That Gordon Bennett one got me so curious I actually had to look it up. Apparently it is based off someone from late 1800s to early 1900s. "Gordon Bennett!" is an expression of incredulity which alludes to the outrageous behaviour of the American sportsman, publisher and all-round hell-raiser James Gordon Bennett Jr.

The saying "Break a leg" came from the idea that if an actor is about to go on stage and you tell them good luck, that might jinx them so instead you say something purposefully malicious sounding to not jinx them. It's kind of like an inside joke that just became a common saying now that I think about it.

I love these series. In my country (Poland) we use some of these slang words/phrases too! Like "break your leg" = połamania nóg ;)

According to my research: The idiom has its origins in theatre - which is a highly superstitious profession - where they shy away from saying positive things before a performance. Those in the theatre industry believed (and probably still do), that well wishes or kind words before a show or performance was bad luck. Thus, instead of uttering words of kindness, it became common to wish an actor, actress, dancer, musician or performer, bad luck. “Breaking a leg,” would be a horrible thing for a performer, so it became the preferred way to say, “good luck”.

break a leg is an ironic term also used in suppositious situations where people think deliberately asking for something good will instead give you a bad outcome for being like greedy.

"Break a leg" - we have sth. similar in German to wish luck: "Hals- und Beinbruch" meaning "neck and leg break". But it came from Yiddish and was just the wrong German sound comprehension of "hatslokhe un brokhe" ("Luck and blessing"). The meaning though is right: I wish you luck.

Perhaps it’s a generational thing; I’m Aussie and I knew all those British slang terms. Gordon Bennet I learned from Red Dwarf but all the others are terms that were used here when I was younger (I’m in my 40s)

I'm 19 and I knew them. But I would say I have a better idea of slang over other people my age. I do alot of community work and volunteering, so you pick up a few phrases here and there

There is a superstition in dance that if you tell somebody good luck before a performance then something will go wrong but if you say break a leg the performance will go well

I'm from America and we used nosh in my high school, but we always meant it as "to eat". So you could say we were noshing on some nosh. :)

Why do I feel like I'm in love with an Australian girl even tho I'm straight? 😂 She's so pretty!

Loving this cultural videos!!! Thank you, when are the Latinos going be represented 😉 🦋🇩🇴💞

Don’t be so needy!… This video’s about slangs from different English speaking countries!… There are lots of videos on KZread about the subjects you’re looking for so go search!

I love this trio.

Break a leg is very common in the UK, also Gordon Bennett was a new York newspaper editor in the late c19th

I read somewhere that people say 'break a leg' when auditioning or performing so that they will be put in the Cast. And that's honestly so cool

All three of you are DOPE!! And I'm not even a SIMP...

Dishy is really old and nice sounding slang, I remember it from some Sinatra tune😎

for break a leg. there is a similiar usage in my native language (Turkish). "Break the devil's leg". it is used for person who try to accomplish a difficult task or struggle against a failure.

Just imagine being able to compare the four languages you've been doing (Eng, Fre, Spa, Ger) with their regional variations across the world. And then compare with close languages like (Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Low German) with their respective variations. And more regional languages/Dialects spoken in those countries like (Frisian, Scots, Occitan, Sicilian, Catalan, Galician, Bavarian, Luxembourgish). English •England English •Scottish English •American English •Australian English •South African English French •Metropolitan French •Belgian French •Quebecois French •Maghreb French •Kinshasha French German •German (from North Germany) •German (from South Germany) •Austrian German •Swiss German •Belgian German Spanish •Spain Spanish (North) •Spain Spanish (South) •Mexican Spanish •Argentinan Spanish •Colombian Spanish Dutch •Netherlands •Belgium •Surinam Italian •Italy (North) •Switzerland •Italy (South) Portuguese •Portugal •Brazil •Angola Low German •Hamburg •Brandenburg •Low Saxon More languages/dialects •Scots •Frisian •Occitan •Sicilian •Catalan •Galician •Bavarian •Luxembourgish I know there are more dialects and languages in this region of Europe, but I try to keep a group of four, just because I like it that way and I'm just dreaming about.

Pretty sympathic girls. :) I wanna see more of them.

DOPE means so much more than cool fly, swag, (in style speaking), and depending on the subject, it also means this as well: To be a fool, or referred to as common street drugs.

Please, guys support her. Because this channel is very helpful

I dont even know who's more beautiful now!!!! All of them look like a gathering of Angels!!!

I don't know why but I'm French and I already knew all the american words in this video ! (However, I didn't know any words from the UK and Australia x) )

codswallop! Haha I like that. My new favourite British word. After minging. This was gorgeous 😁 Codswallop sounds like Kuddelmuddel in German. (I found out, it it means beating a cod. Useless, right 😆)

Best ever combo

As an English person, I refuse to believe Lauren didn’t know the meaning of ‘boo’ it was really popular like 4 years ago

"Americans" are all people who live in the American continent, not just in the United States!!

In France, we have the expression "craquer sur quelqu'un" that is the exact translation of the UK phrase "to crack on someone". It means that you have a crush on someone, so not exactly similar to the english version but I think that at some point one country copied it from the other

We do have that break a leg thing in german too... it is like "break your neck and leg" lil crazy but I never thought about saying it😂
