"this is a family channel" while I have 'tosser' written across my screen
I mean it’s not ACTUALLY a family channel, I was kidding haha
@@DrunkTexanSays dw i got it, was a funny intro, kept me watching
@@LemonSiege ha ha ha
Wanker, knob head
That just means it's your turn to toss the coin
**sees "Todger" onscreen**
**Giggles like a six year-old**
MAN THE WHOLE TODGER BIT NEEDS TO GO VIRAL
We have no slang word in England for "tomorrow dodger".
Though we do have "coffin dodger" for old person.
Oh thats why we say codger then
Coffin dodger is an old person driving slowly and carefully
@@sebby324 I thought it meant someone is old and probably should be dead by now

I’m from Alabama, and have been living in England since 2003. These videos are heeeelarious. It’s like a step back in time.
Hahahaha I couldn't stop laughing with 'waz' being an ex-wizard 😂😂😂
As soon as you said it i hear Hagrid saying "you're a wazzock Harry"
Your reaction to Off-Licence and Tosser was priceless 😂🤣
There's even a slang term for off-licence lol. Going down to the "offy"
Thank god that wasnt one of the ones I had to guess haha
@@DrunkTexanSays It could have been worse. In Yorkshire that would be "I'm going down t' offey"
In Oz they're called bottle shops or liquor barns. The slang for them is "bottle-o".
Off Licence isn't slang.. Hence why they have signs on the shops themselves saying OFF LICENCE? 'Offie' is the slang for Off Licence! 👍🇬🇧
Lol who cares, anyone fancy a beer
An Off-license is a shop that is licensed to sell alcohol *off* the premises, as opposed to a public house or other premises which is licensed to sell alcohol for consumption *on* the premises.
Off license is a proper name, it isn't slang, I would say, "I'm going to the offie." wouldn't you?
@Stuart McCormick not any more... Between covid, 1.83333r kids and a shit job, not many chances to go to one of late.
@@iainhewitt Only 1.83333 kids did you chop off an arm?
@@craigflower13 don't know where your from but no one calls it an offie the only slang i have heard about it is boss mans shop
@@ecotic9715 I am Welsh. went to school in Forres (NE Scotland) and Hereford, now live in Fife in the Central Belt of Scotland. It was common in all of them so I don't know where you live but I have also heard it used in Manchester and by my cousin in Doncaster.
Bog standard is like "extra regular", conspicuously normal
14:49 Fuck me this is hysterical. Good job he hasn't said tosspot yet.
Re: 'grim' - we also use that word the way you use it - but in slang it can be used more widely
To me (Londoner) it usually means fuck-ugly - 'What you wana get with her for? She's grim mate!'
@@aceofspoons8382 yeah it's just disgusting really init
BECAUSE IM BRITISH I FIND THIS DEEPLY ENTERTAINING, ALSO IM NOW DRINKING ALSO I JUST REALISED IM TYPING I CAPS AND CARNT BE ARSED TO DELETE IT ALL AND RE WRITE IT. ALSO YES I SAID ARSE!
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼
I'm glad you didn't say I'm British and then proceeded to use Ass

Yes we do roughly speak the same language the problem is you left the club in 1776 and never completed your education, its like dropping out of college and how much it upsets your parents but they let you get away with it. Much the same as what happened in 1776 we let you go but we're always around to hold you hand if you need it.
More a case of 200 years of divergence rather than not completing their education. There are also differences with Australia etc.
This is my favourite... thank you! Poor yanks are trying though, bless ‘em
Shambolic really did surprise me as I didnt even know it was a slang word, but that it was genuinely part of the english landuage....
It's one of those words that has drifted into 'proper' English in recent years. The strength of the English Language is that is changes all of the time.
I’ve always thought it was derived from the shambles in York, a place that is, or was, chaotic.
@@67spoon maybe, Shambles means a butchers slaughter house....
@@tanyano9 yes I googled after commenting and it is.
Me too
He just got his todger out and started to have a waz the tosser.
What a fucking geezer
Thoroughly enjoyed this, cheered me right up. Cheers geez. 👍
Ayeee thanks man!!
Us brits have the best humour 💓🇬🇧
"This is a family channel"
Also kids, let's play a drinking game with spirits (liquor)
I LOVEed this one. Well done. Brilliant effort. 🍻🍻👍
loving your posts brilliant keep them coming
Keep shining you crazy drunk texan. Top vids.
"We have coffee and uhhhhhh Cocoa" angry tea drinking noises!
Great video keep them coming!! Hi from uk
There is a meme that shows

Proper loving your channel. Your reactions are quality.
Your content is so good and so good on the editing, thanks man keep it up!
Just come across your channel, absolutely love the content man!
Much love from England, South Yorkshire! I'm going to take a shot everytime you get one right! Cheers!
You wont get very drunk then. I suck at this game hahaha
South Yorkshire that's where I'm from the steel city
There's one that Ricky didn't mention, and I'm slightly surprised, because it's a good one, and legend has it, is directly related to "Bog Standard". The term is "Dog's Bollocks". SPOILER ALERT: If you don't want to know what it means, don't read on.
As you heard, "Bog Standard" means "Basic, No Frills". Well, "(The) Dog's Bollocks" means the opposite:"The Ultimate, The Absolute Best". "The bomb" I suppose would be a good American synonym.
It is said that both terms are corrupted versions of what (vintage constructional toy) Meccano used to call its original two play sets. If the legend is true, they were called "Box Standard" and "Box Deluxe".
You can see how and why the first would have been corrupted. "Bog" is also slang for "toilet" after all. A deliberate and derogatory mispronunciation.
The second requires a bit of "spoonerism", (swapping the first consonant of two words); Box Deluxe > Dox Beluxe > Dogs Bollux > Dog's Bollocks. You can see the logic, and spoonerism like this was a popular bit of humourous wordplay in the old days. In fact, there was a comedian who made a whole career out of it.
Anyway, I can't confirm that it's true, I want it to be, but I hope you found it interesting.
Haha! Thats a good one and I appreciate the effort! Thanks for the comment!
@Mel Beasley I've never even heard that one. Go on...
@@DrunkTexanSays the reason a Toilet is referred to as a Bog goes back to olden days before flushing toilets as most human waste was collected into buckets and dumped into a bog for it to decompose that is also where the slang for having a poo is going for a dump comes from
I heard this explanation on QI, not sure which season or episode.
It's simply not true, I'm afraid. There's a longstanding metaphorical tradition in English, popularised in the 1920s, to compliment something by referring to an animal. Hence: "cat's whiskers", "cat's pyjamas", "cat's meow", "bee's knees". These are the ones that have most stood the test of time, but there were many others back in the day: "eel's ankle", "elephant's instep", "pig's wings", "clam's garter" - the more ludicrous the better. It was simply a humorous trend of the 1920s. "Dog's bollocks" was just a slightly cruder equivalent.
Dude, that was so funny. Thank you.
Quick correction of Ricky's assertion that we don't use 'pants' to mean trousers over here - we actually do in many areas of the country - up in the North in particular the words trousers and pants are pretty much interchangeable, with 'trousers' having more formal connotations - the word 'pants' in the north can mean underpants (if someone is 'sitting in their pants' then they are in their undies) - but a kid might go to school in new school pants and that would mean trousers. I wouldn't use the word 'trousers' for jogging bottoms, I'd call them pants - but if i were shopping for a suit I would be looking for a jacket and trousers. *
This might be changing though - as southern language forms become more normalised across the country: for instance - when i was a kid in a working class northern school we didn't have 'lunchtime' at school, we had 'dinner time' and the ladies who served it and looked after the kids were 'dinner ladies' - the midday meal was 'dinner' and the evening meal was 'tea'. In the South (and in more middle class homes in the North) the midday meal was 'lunch' and the evening meal was 'dinner. This now seems to be taking over across the country so the younger generations in the North seem to have adopted this and now schools have lunchtime not dinnertime. Though they still I think refer to the evening meal as 'tea'
Haha your reaction to todger was great.
I used to work in an Off License. As Ricky suggested, it's to do with the alcohol licence required to run an establishment like that. You need a license to sell alcohol to be consumed OFF the premises, as in to be bought there, but not drunk there.
By comparison, a bar, restaurant or pub needs a license to sell alcohol for consumption ON the premises. However, I have never heard the term "On license" being used, and it certainly would never be used to refer to such an establishment.
And of course many pubs had an offy hatch 😉
There's no such thing as an *Off-License* in the US or the UK, as it's called an *Off-Licence.*
There is no *S* in *Off-Licence* or any other *Licence.*
@Darth Wheazius This is true. Sometimes I forget which is which, to my eternal shame. I love the pedantry though. 😊
I played along with you when you got it right I drank and when you got it wrong I drank in Solidarity with ya brother
I felt you there in spirit my fellow drinker haha
Waz - a retired wizard 😂😂😂😂👍
Wazzock.
Harry potter waz a wizard
This made me laugh so much, your guess were so funny.
Love your content! 💕
This video had me in hysterics. You will have to let us know when get to use the word "todger". The look on your face when you heard what it meant was priceless. ❤🇬🇧
Your description of Waz is amazing 🤣🤣....you killed me. Respect from th UK👌👍
You did so well ,you had a go all the words impressed😁😁
Todger killed me! 😂😂 Much love from here in England
You did much better than I expected buddy, good job😂✌️🇬🇧✌️🇺🇸👍🍻🍻
Actually lolled, loved the drunk logic to the answers too.
Enjoyed it thanks 🏴
God, I'm sitting hear with tears rolling down my cheeks. You are a diamond geezer, Mike.
Haha thanks!!
Love your reaction,
Cheesed off by this grim, bog standard, pants day in this the shambolic start of the year. So I’m having a bevvy I bought from an Offie, to save me from going barmy.
Watching this dishy Texan, Mr Drunk geezer have a chin wag on CZcams.
It’s a family channel, so can’t speculate on whether my todger wants to turn me into a tosser, or I just need a waz.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You win the best comment award lmao
Nicely done :)
Thank you great video!
No thank YOU!
“I just got cheesed off by some bald Texan guy” 😂
That one sounds xrated
I must say, as an English girl, from Hertfordshire with a very plain English accent, that I find you FANTASTIC! This particular video had me in stitches on one of the worst days of my life, I am a mother of four, a disabled RAF veteran with PTSD and you literally lit up my day with this 😆 . I have now been watching you all afternoon and I can’t wait to find what else you have, just a normal guy, doing normal things, learning, laughing, enriching and down right loving life and if it means anything at all I thank you for it all (I’ve also subscribed)
Take it easy, keep doing what you feel and I hope you and your family stay safe and well.
Blessings to you from us.

(**TODGER** **TOSSER** a little bit of pee came out, not gonna lie!! ) LOL 😂
I just saw this comment ma'am. I hope things have turned around for you in the last year!! Thank you for the kind comment!
Hi Mike, this is Mike from UK. Loved the TOMORROW DODGER... Cool videos, congrats.
As a Brit italian living in Surrey (South East) I've subbed and binge watching all the vids. Good stuff bud 👍
Thank you!!
Mate, I love you channel. British slang is hard going.
I had fun watching this. You were close on some but so far on others haha
LOL, oh man your guess at Tosser had me roiling!!! lol
It’s funny watching you struggle with phrases I use all the time 😂 shambolic
That was funny 😆 It does make you realise how many differences there are. When I was in a Wal Mart in Florida a few years ago I wanted to get a pack of “bin liners” I couldn’t think of the right expression “trash bags”? “Garbage sacks”? Didn’t get them in the end.😏
Wait until you find out why we laugh so much at American "fannypacks". 😂
Your face at 18:59 made me laugh out loud, I'm having a blast watching these video's, I have family across the pond in 3 states and we always have fun with our same but different language....
in nottingham off licences are called beer offs
Same in Scunthorpe. I think it might be a Lincolnshire, East Midlands thing.
That was good fun. Thank you.
"C'mon man!" - had me :-)
I’ve never heard ‘dishy’ I was with you on this one 😂
Loved it!! I’d love to see you reacting to Canadian eccentricities
Loved your guess at 'TOSSER' ....... brilliant! 😆 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I swear to god I almost edited that out. But decided to leave it lol
Then it would have all gone Pete Thong.
OMG! I also decided that in the spirit of unity, I would drink when you got it wrong AND right, but I'm such a lightweight, I need a lie down! Props to you for trying Mike. I live here, and we even have different meanings for the same word in different parts of the country! Loving the reactions. Don't worry too much. If you ever make it over here, just remember, God loves a trier, and so do the Brits! 💕👏👏
Mate you gained 200 subs in a 2 days! Well done man 👍🏻
I had 19 subs 2 weeks ago. This is ridiculous it takes me a few hours every day to catch up with comments haha
@@DrunkTexanSays Well done on 1000... keep up the good work!
Must admit it's funny watching you try work out English slang!! I'm from Yorkshire the slang is real lol
LOL glad you didn't edit the tosser part out :)
I loved this video.... I love our colloquialisms in the UK, and I love that no-one else in the word has a Scooby Doo (clue) what we’re chin wagging about.
On a side note, if you haven’t yet, please do a Cockney Rhyming Slang video. I’m currently teaching my NY residing colleague rhyming slang. He loves it when I call him my ‘China Plate’...
Ahhh shit, I wrote that before I got to ‘tomorrow dodger’... that absolutely killed me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant video!!
Great editing. Love the way you combine b&w, colour filtering and music to emphasise things. Yep, colour is spelt correctly, I'm British. 😉
Check out my newer videos I added a greenscreen to the mix!
🇬🇧very funny really enjoyed it sent a link to my American buddy in Florida to play along
A pub is licenced for patrons to drink ON the premises, an off license is for consumption OFF the premises only.
Off-license isn’t slang it’s a statement of fact. Off license is where a place has a license to sell alcohol off the premises.
Yeah when Ricky said that. Only thing I could think of was a shop. I was like off-licence as a slang 🤔. I actually started thinking do the English use it as a slang lol.
@@ashleybanner9724 maybe he doesn't know why it is that shops that sell alcohol are called an "off license" and think's that it is a slang term? it's the only reason I can think of.
The slang would be Offy.
@@antonycharnock2993 Here on Tyneside it's always been the offy.
There's no such thing as an *Off-License* in the US or the UK, as it's called an *Off-Licence.*
There is no *S* in *Off-Licence* or any other *Licence.*
In Liverpool England we say Todger , but also say Nudger, is current slang. In fact you can go into a shop selling filled rolls and ask for lets say a Ham nudger!
Where abouts in the pool do you live? Never heard that in me life 😂
I lived in Kirkdale , also in Fazackerley.i can assure you I haven't made this up.just because you haven't heard of something, doesn't mean it isn't so.
Your guess at toaster killed me
Had to look up what "spinner" meant .... totally worth it and understand your reaction
Loved the Todger reaction.
Half way through and I'm still sober ffs 😂
Hope you come to the UK one day. Places to visit - Cornwall, The Eden Project, Glastonbury, Leeds and Reading Festival, The Edinburgh fringe, Rural Scotland, The Welsh Countryside, The Lake District and London/Manchester/Edinburgh in terms of cities to check out.
I am literally just waiting for this lockdown to end then I'm heading there. Might take an entire two week trip and do it right!
@@DrunkTexanSays Awesome, will be great to have you and I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself.
Hey man love the vids. As a fan from Northern Ireland I’d love it if you’d react to “how to speak Belfast/ Northern Ireland” would be a good laugh seeing you try to understand the accent 😂
That is most definitely going on my list and I'm gonna make it extra special since I insulted yall by accident in an early vid of mine where I mixed up Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. I owe yall!
Pub crawl= Visiting at least five pubs in one night. A pint in each.
Amateur numbers dont come on one of my local beer groups trips lol
When I was a small boy one got the most basic Meccano set (what Yanks call an erector set) labelled "Box Standard"--that was in the 1950s. As the term "Bog Standard" only appeared in the early 1960s and was related to cars, especially those used for cheap motorsport, perhaps the term was just a corruptiion.
When Todger came on, the hapless guessing so far from the answer, and the reaction afterwards was worth the wait.
Haha im glad! I did NOT expect that it meant a penis hahaha
To sell alcohol in UK premises ned a licence issued by a court. Pubs are licencesed to sell alcohol on site, so shops which sell alcohol to take away are off licences as you're drinking it off licencesed premises.
Take it from this British man of words, you were right about Grim. Bleak is a perfect synonym. Ricky's definitions of something "boring" or "disgusting" are valid, as it can be used that way, but I'd say he's hit the two ends of the spectrum there. Most people would mean bleak, dire, unpleasant, distressing", as in "I got some grim news about my cancer" or "It was a grim state of affairs in Washington".
Nice reference at the end there lol. It was grim for sure
I think thats the actual meaning of the word - like 'the grim reaper'. In slang it usually means disgusting, from what I've encountered.
There are on-licenses and off-licenses, which allow the sale of liquor on and off the premises respectively. Some on-licenced pubs used to have a glass cabinet in one corner which was their off-licence, so customers could buy liquor (= any alcohol) to take away. But in the 1990s they liberalised the licensing laws.
"How do we speak the same language?" - He's got a point.
"England and America are two countries separated by a common language" - George Bernard Shaw
As a Brit, this is hilarious thinking that you thought a tosser was a petit girl XD so funny.
I feel your pain! another Drunk Australian. I remember getting out of a Black cab in London with my wife, son and younger daughter following an animated narration of the different parts of London we had travelled through and my daughter who was in her very late teens turned to me and said what language was that cab driver speaking and I responded to her saying he is speaking Cockney! And her follow up question was and where is that from? My response was he was born within the sound of Bow bells ( Big Ben - incorrect) and this blank look came over her. My wife on her second trip to London just said yes, he’s a local, and he’s laying it on just a bit thick! On our previous trip I was translating for her in the same situation. You did rather well actually as I got stuck on the latter two myself. Expression do have a habit of changing over time! NSW in Oz
The bow bells are the bells of St Mary le Bow Church en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mary-le-Bow
@@shymike I stand corrected, you’re right however it still got the same blank look from my daughter regardless. NSW in Oz
Great stuff mate. What you describe as a tosser, is actually a spinner, A tosser means the same as wanker. They can be interchanged
Love the logic, definitely an anti-pants video, excellent stuff, keep it up.
Hey man, Brit here. Loving your vids, keep em coming.
How about a vid reacting to British drinks. get in a load of British beers/ales and a bunch of whiskeys and gins. give em all a review on camera! one by one, in one sitting . For bonus points drink your beer at room temp like a true brit ;)
The off-licence has a history dating back to the medieval Ale-Wives, who were ordered to obey a roster and to cooperate in brewing their small batches of Ale so that a Ville had a constant supply, but no glut. The Alehouse was marked by a wreath of barley whn she had a batch available, and the other people could purchase Ale by the quart or gallon, to take away.
More formal arrangements for travellers were the inns, where guests would eat and sleep overnight - and they also had Ale and wines available to purchase to drink on the premises. Inns eventually expanded into and morphed into a permanent 'public house' for locals to drink on the premises by the tankard or glass, (with some retaining rooms for guests to overnight either as inns or as a guest house) - the old Alehouses are functional replaced by off-licenses though most grocers and supermarkets also have an off-license aisle or corner.
Funny as hell
Oi you! Cheese off!! 😂. I’m gonna start using that one!
Hahahaha
Man I wish you had more videos 😩 react to al Murray the comedian go on about how England conquered the world it’s brilliant 🤣
Just finished recording a video! I also got a new greenscreen to help illustrate some of the random tangents I go on haha. Stay tuned there's more coming!
@@DrunkTexanSays There is a British comedy cult film called"Sex lives of the Potato men". It could be viewed as insightful of British culture in a "Shameless" kinda way. Give it a watch, not for the kids or delicate minded but Damned funny.I don't think you would do the review haha :)
Off-license refers to a license given by the local council for retail of alcohol "off the premises". I run a pub and it requires an "on-license" which means people can consume on premises but we can all retail "off" sales. Anywhere can pretty much sell alcohol, petrol (gas) stations, corner shops, supermarkets, your local food takeaway, you just need a premises license and a personal license (held by the owner of the outlet). Hope this helps 👍🏻
