I am asking for it, but in the U.S. it is expensive! I hope I can get it. I am going to watch this video over and over until I only talk in British slang. I love it!

This afternoon I was all over the place: I made a half-arsed attempt at the housework which I hadn't done for yonks, but it all went tits up. I got really mardy, gave it up and went to bed, but when I was lying there in the buff I saw your video - and now I'm full of beans! Thanks for another great lesson Tom! It was super useful 👍 I love it when you teach modern English - I learned a lot from your videos.

I was at a jobs fair this week and, talking to one of the delegates, I asked if he had any 'bumf' - mostly leaflets containing information that is sometimes useful (such as product information), but more often than not is useless or tedious (such as the flyers that suddenly appear through your letterbox). I don't know if 'bumf' is used predominantly in the North of England, as the guy with whom I was speaking was a Southerner and had to ask what it meant.

What a great lesson, Tom! Here's my example: Why aye! I did realize he was slagging me off! Not surprising coming from such a plonker! Thank you Tom and greetings from Argentina.

Tom!!!! I am absolutely loving your book! I'm learning loads of new super useful stuff, thank you so much!!

Thanks a ton for this video! I am from India. I’m a student from class 10 and I am trying to learn the British English! Your videos have helped greatly. By the way, your British Accent is so elegant! I want to speak with the same accent! Cheers!

What a useful lesson! I can't thank you enough🥰

I love slang words! Thanks for this handy video! I'd be jammy if I could get the copy of your brand-new book!

I’ve just bought your last book and I’m really enjoying it!

Amazing video as always and the best teacher ever ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Some of these have very different meanings in America! "Neck" means kissing and cuddling, while "full of beans" can mean crazy. I'd love to know the etymology behind all of these.

Perfect video that covers all that we need to know :)

I was all ready for my holiday in London this summer, but it goes tits up due to the corona virus outbreak!

I just really need this book. That's all... Thanks a lot Thomas.

I like the work Kerfuffle. We use it in Canada as well. I have also used half-assed as well.

I'm sometimes so all over the shop feeling like a right plonker, trying to remember what to do so I have to use my loaf to get stuff in order. And if I manage to do that, it makes me full of beans because things are finally looking up.

I made a half-arsed attemp to enter this contest and mine is all over the gaff, it’s utterly rubbish ! 🤣

Hi Tom. May I suggest an example for an X slang word? You didn't say "no", so it goes. XIXI. You pronounce sheeshee and it means pee. Like, when you ask your son before leaving the house before a trip. "Do you need a sheeshee before leaving?" By the way, this is Portuguese, from Portugal.

great video, Tom! I like that

Great video!!!!. Thank you very much. I' ll put some of these expressions into use next time i have guests from the UK ( i am a tour guide by the way😊). See you on your video

-He's changed..full of beans, lost weight..bought a house... -Yeah, shocking diet: does a runner from restaurants, saving money on both gym and foods.

I should be studying but instead I'm watching this, my planning is all over the gaff!

It's really interesting to see that some of these have made it into Canadian English, at least in British Columbia and Alberta.

I bet you enjoyed making this one! Didn’t realise lush is from the West Country; it’s also used in the NE

you know what i think would be Really useful ? A book with a complete list of slang/ idioims used in the UK.

There is a plonker living in my ends who does runners from the nearby hotels.

1:51 Ah, in Chinese, we have one that means exactly the same, but it's (bracketed words not spoken) "to carry a (black) wok (on one's back)".

I really wanna your book tom I love these slangs but I was knowing 13 of them from before hand 😁

"Do I want this book? Way aye man!!" Thanks for everything Tom🌻 -A full of beans fellow teacher from Greece ☃️

I remember back in the day when I first started watching Top Gear, I only understood about half of what they were saying. lol, It's crazy how different two versions of English can be.

Mangen Tak for dieses Video.

Half arsed in the UK is Half ass in the US and a Half baked cookie or just half baked in Indian English.

I told my cousins I was going to participate to win Tom's book and there was a huge kerfuffle over who I was going to lend it first if I won it. I've had many amazing english teachers but if someone asked me if Tom has been the best of them I would say: why aye man! without a second thought. Really interesting video as always, thanks for sharing 👍🥳👏

I had a kerfuffle with my mum on my birthday about the mardy mate of her. He wanted to do the runner that time. He thought I was a bell-ends. I'd fancy a copy of your book as well.

Mate, United was all over the shop against us when we played against them. Also Kane and Sonny where full of beans that day. No wonder we won 6-1. But against Antwerp our players looked a bit half-arsed. But I think we are having a great season so far. We have not been on top of the table for yonks!

If had to choose an ends to live in, I'd definitely go for one close to Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade.

My favourite accents are Liverpool ( paddy pimblet) and Cokney. Third may be Brummie

Mrs Bucket ( pronounced bouquet) is such a toff.

Lush is a “Drunk” in American English. “Neck” in American English is slang for kissing. “Loaded” also means wealthy in American English.

Hey Tom, any chance you could make & sell a t-shirt version of your UK slang map? I think that'd be great, especially on a good quality shirt, like maybe a ringer T in a natural with dark ribbing, etc.

In America I'm familiar with the phase " In The BUFF ".

I am full of beans today, so I am going to watch over again all of the videos of Eat Sleep Dream English to improve my British English ❤️❤️❤️

True story: when in Ibiza last summer, me and my bestie did a runner from the top "full of toffs" Beach Club.. Mate.. We waited yonks for the bill but never showed up 🤷🏼‍♀️well.. We were kind of forced.. Weren't we? Lushhhh😎

Love your accent a lot and I'm trying to copy yours

It was useful tahnk you so much❤❤😍😍 I hope it will be available in Iran as soon as possible🙂 I can't wait to have it❤

I wish the paperback was available in the US, but it's showing up as being around $70 rather than the $20 or so it would be in the UK :( This is a great video, thanks Tom! I wonder how Burton's feels about the slang definition of "jammy" ;)

Congratulations!

v for vex, spoken a lot in london slang,

4:19 Is it from "belly-up", as in "animals, esp. fish that died when their corpses show their bellies as they float back to the surface"?

Very interesting!! I love the bellend word🤣

I have been wanting to travel to Italy for the past 25 years and decided for my 50th birthday this year, I would go for a week but due to the virus it all went tits up

" I'll take you to the best satay kiosk in Jakarta!" Love from Indonesia!☺️

For ‘V’ how about ‘veg out’? “What you doing this evening?” “Mate, I’m just gonna stay home and veg out.” I’m pretty sure I’ve not heard that here in the US, so I guess it’s unique to us in the UK.
