    We definitely say "rank" and "bonkers" in the US but not often. It's like silly slang to use with friends. Also "blokes" and "blimey" are words we know of but don't use. We hear it when we watch shows with Brits in them. Or when we watch BBC America and such. That's how a lot of Americans know British words/slang. But also, a lot of the words in these videos are words that we also use in the states but Christina just may not have heard of them because of where she's from (or she just hasn't heard them much in general). - a native Floridian

    Have never heard "chirpsing" or "ting" in Britain.
    FYI: the full version of "Barney" would be "Barney Rubble". Cockney rhyming slang was all about having a rhyming phrase but omitting the second part in usage. That way the meaning is secret from people that don't know the slang (secret language).

      Two different words - "Barmy" means mad in a sort of fun way, such as England cricket fans aka the "Barmy Army". A "Barney" refers to a bit of trouble (fisticuffs or a heated argument), from rhyming slang "Barney Rubble".

For that matter, I think Lauren, personality wise and her kind, natural demeanor and lovely eyes also works.

    In the 1990s, we Americans had an animated TV show called "Bonkers" which was about a very cartoony bobcat cop doing cop things with a human in Toon Town from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I was only, like, 9, when it came out, but even then I knew that "bonkers" was a term for crazy, so the term has made its way into America a bit.
