Talking to Google about eavesdropping - the irony!

I like how you put a sheet of paper over the apple logo. You should have written "SHAME" on it as well :)

One of my grandfather's (1905-1993)favorite sayings was: "For the time being" and as kids we were curious about this ''Time Bean'' and what was its relationship to our activities? It was further explained in an angry tone that ''We have to wait for the 'Time Bean','' This Bean was almost always, in our little minds LATE! And it was invisible. Like Linus' Great Pumpkin, the Time Bean would come and go and we never actually saw it. You guys let me know if you've ever seen it, don't leave me hangin!😉

Is it possible for me to adore SD any more than I already do?! Legend. 🙏🏻

Wait, wait, what? The remarkable Susie Dent, whom I have watched for ages on Cats Does Countdown did a Talk at Google? As a computer scientist who loves British panel shows and is quite interested in languages...... This hits home

Great talk. Very interesting to hear about the different words and phrases people use. Susie is delightful as always. Thanks for filming this.

Why did google not provide a glass of water? It was quite obvious that she needed one from about 20 mins into her great presentation.

Its great to see someone give a talk without using whiteboards, and especaily Powerpoint. She appears also not to use an autocue.

This is fascinating and quite soporific. Jimmy is right. I can totally see the city that never sleeps nodding off when Susie visits.

Love, thanks many times for this gift.

Let's cover up the Apple sign, Pahahaha.

its quite brilliant to have such a relaxing but interesting talk

Very interesting. Thank you, Susie.

I simply love this sort of thing, from Susie Dent!

I wonder what laptop she's using

I really enjoyed this talk. It did make me think about some of the tribal language I have used over the years. The only one I could think of was "There we are then" as an acronym for an awkward or particularly unpleasant customer.

Very interesting, well worth a look

Very interesting talk by Susie.

I would like to quote a favorite "eaves-dropping" from the BBC radio 4 program "Quote - Unquote" where each episode was concluded with a panelist quoting an interesting thing that they had overheard. The one that sticks in the memory was overheard on a bus where a lady said to her companion "Oh, he said, its "oh" is it? - yes he said "It is Oh!""

Absolutely beautiful ;)

writing loads of notes you just can't chuck out, I get that too!

Good to see that Susie is keeping herself busy in between Countdown and Cats... And thankfully, not visiting any glory holes.

The irony of asking Google if they were aware that "eavesdroppers are everywhere".

A true national treasure.

Apparently, the more refined train spotter refers to themselves as a Ferroequinologist.

I have long known the term "camper" as it pertains to the restaurant world, but I've only recently learned of its meaning in the world of online video games. Much of the tribal speak of this world tends to be derogatory, such as the aforementioned "camper". That is a term for someone who sits in one spot, waiting for enemy players to come around the corner. Groups may have a policy of no "squeakers" (young children, particularly those who tend to talk a lot). Solo players wanting to join a team activity may try an "LFG" (Looking For Group) post on a website, and then complain about having to play with "randos" (random, unfamiliar players). They get annoyed when someone is "AFK" (Away From Keyboard"). Most interestingly, though: Everyone is either a "scrub" (a player perceived to be unskilled, a/k/a anyone you feel isn't as good as you), or a "sweat" (someone with no life who does nothing but play the game, a/k/a anyone better than you). Playing video games can be frustrating when you are losing, so I suppose that it isn't surprising that so much of the tribal speak in that community serves as an outlet for that frustration.

Hi again. I'm part of the skydiving tribe but also an Engineer, tool maker. "Rack of the eye" measuring thing with the eye.

Oh how I wish I'd attended a Catholic convent when the gorgeous Susie was there. ❤

I see you're done drinking your milk.

In Scotland and maybe elsewhere, train crew refer to passengers as punters. Riding a train in the UK is a bit of a gamble after all. Messrooms are Bothy's.

Just a quick point - there is no 'British language'. In Scotland alone, we have Scots, Gaelic, English languages and also Nordic influences. I will watch it through to see if they feature!

I have always understood secret languages in a tribe to be called a "Term of Art". As a Police Officer we used DRT, "When I got here that guy was DRT" (Dead Right There).

I was a butchers boy in my teens, I well remember being told to evatch e kool at the gels on the elrig!

Hi Susie. You should look into the Skydiving Tribe. Try the word "whuffo" x

I was told as a teenager that pig Latin , is when you take the 1st letter of a word & place it at the end of the word then add an A. Examples. Isspa ffoa kantssa reatheba ,. Witch means, piss off skants breathe. Skants being a word that covers all under garments. IE underpants, knickers, boxer shorts, thongs , another word for under wear. I never wear underwear so I can never be called that. I think the word skants comes from skid marks. Skids in the skants. Or as I would say in pig Latin. kidssa nia heta kantssa.

I love how Susie does not realise Twitch is a competing platform to the incumbent/sponsor.....

How did nobody else know this? I've seen the ad vir tize ment.Iam sorry advertisement. DHB.

"Ruler" is just a 15th century variation of "rule," which comes, via French, from Latin "regula," which meant a measuring stick, a diminutive derived from "regere," to straighten, lead, or guide. The word "rule," comes from the same source, but is more metaphorical

Rick Wakeman is a member of the Freemasons? For some reason, that's a surprise to me . . .

Love Susie Dent. Corneggs erm I mean Eggcorns. Reminds me of the dyslexic who walked into a bra.

of concern you used the term "a lot", a lot is a plot of ground.......replace the burial site:) love ya

Ha ha, Susie told us all that people who work in an industry don't think that they have a special jargon, and then shrugs as she says she doesn't think 'we' have a secret language in TV !! (LOLz of course you do). And the male and female plug and socket thing of the sound engineers is completely universal as is for instance the word 'Cock' meaning a tap! Oo Mrs. (Dent).

She is one intelligent, interesting and great looking women.
