18th Century Badman (Roadman Parody)

  • Brought to you by Jake Wardle at www.jakewardle.com. A parody video I made during an 18th century historical battle re-enactment event. In this parody I combine the standard British soldier from the later part of the 18th century with a 'Roadman' from the early 21st century "street" culture found in some parts of the UK today. I thought such a combination would make for a funny, interesting and absurd parody. No live ammo was used, only black powder.
    If you are not from the UK you may have never heard of this "street" sub-culture we have, let alone be able to understand it (further down I have included a translation of the slang words I used). It mainly exists in the poorer, rough "ghetto" areas of major English cities. The particular variant I did in this video is the London variant (as I am from London myself and grew up in an area where many youth speak this way) I do not however speak this way myself in my normal speech (some of you who know me and have seen my other videos already know this) but I am able to do an accurate imitation due to going to school and sixth form college where many spoke this way.
    The official linguistic name for this accent and dialect is 'London Multicultural English'
    To give you an idea of all of this, here is an example of the type of "Roadmen" that I am imitating in this video. Here is a scene from the film 'Kidulthood' which is a drama about the "street" culture: • Video
    And here is another (funny) example, a scene from an actual parody film of the street culture called 'Anuvahood': • Oh my days ! London Ho...
    Anyway, now for the translation off the slang... "Street" or "mandem/roadman" slang is a combination of mostly Jamaican patois, ghetto American and some words that seem to be unique to UK street culture. However, the accent and dialect as a whole is predominately Jamaican (due to many Jamaicans settling in the UK) which is why in my previous accent videos I had labeled it as "Jamaican influenced" it is not to be confused with an actual Jamaican accent though. Anyway here is the slang:
    Badman: tough/gangster/man who commits bad deeds and gets street cred for them
    Wagwan: a typical Jamaican greeting equivalent to "whats going on?" or "whats up?"
    Mandem/mandems: used to describe a male or group of males in the street culture
    Galdem/galdems: same meaning as mandem but for females instead
    Man/Manz: I, you or them
    Dun kno: Done already known used as a conformation of something, exitment/celebration or to gloat
    Blud/fam/cuz: man, dude, homie, mate, friend or foe etc
    Garmz: garments (clothing)
    Creps: trainers/shoes
    Reppin: representing
    Endz: area/territory/ghetto
    Brap: a kind of imitation of a gun shot that is used an expression of excitement or celebration
    Gat/gats: gun
    Screwfacing/screwface: pulling an angry or disapproving/disgusted/distasteful expression on your face
    Vexed: angry/mad/really annoyed etc
    Innit: isn't it
    Par/parred: an insult, or misfortunate event that has happened to someone
    Ting: thing
    Wifey: girlfriend/serious lover
    Buff/peng: sexy (male of female)
    Back off: sexy bum
    Bare: really, very, lots of, large quantity or size etc
    Jheeze: wow
    Pussyhole: an insult that pretty much usually means what it what its says on the tin. It is used in the same way as just calling someone a pussy.
    Shank: a knife or sharp object used for stabbing (noun) or simply to stab (verb) originated in American prisons to describe and improvised sharp melee weapon
    Jook: a verb meaning to stab
    Sket: slut, whore, bitch, overly promiscuous woman
    Sick: very good or cool
    Spit barz: rap/rhyme
    Beef: fight/fighting
    Butterz: an alternative way of saying butt ugly used to describe someone or something ugly or disgusting
    *kmt*: kiss my teeth, a "mtchew" kind of sound produced by doing just that, used to display a distasteful attitude towards something or someone.
    You can also find more detailed translations on the Urban dictionary website: www.urbandictionary.com
    Also here is some of the 18th century military terminology I used:
    Make ready: cock your musket (ready to fire)
    Present: point/aim
    Shoulder firelocks: place your musket against your shoulder supporting it from the bottom with your palm
    Huzzah: British battle cry from the 18th and 19th centuries
    Finally I would like to say a special thanks to the 'Redcoats and Rebels' re-enactment group that I have the privilege of being a part of.
    Also if you like shooting videos, my fellow redcoat cameraman 'K Fish' has a CZcams channel full of them. Check him out on CZcams (he has lots of videos firing both historical and modern guns alike)
    / @kevinofishero
    As stated in the video, the music I used was:
    Barry Lyndon - British Grenadiers (fife and drum)
    Strictly Beats Series - Hood Riddims
    Thanks for watching!

But don’t judge somebody based on the music they listen to, an adult is most likely not gonna listen to the garbage that is rap nowadays (I’m not including 21-24 on the adult scale because most people still aren’t grown by then) most adults would listen to the classics or the oldies like KRS-1, Bigge, Mobb Deep, Mos Def, or Wu-tang and that music is not garbage and most of the songs while they may not have the best message they carry a positive connotation take work by Gang Starr for example the connotation of the song is positive because he is saying I’m gonna put the work it to get where I wanna be

    By all reports this is incredibly tame for the way a British Redcoat in the 18th Century would actually talk.
    A French Officer once wrote in his journal that he was glad his men didn’t understand English because if they did he feared they might run away before a shot was fired for the terrible curses the British jeered at them. He said he would rather meet ten French conscripts down a dark alley than a single British infantryman.
    Even worse were the Highland Scots and some of the Irish regiments, who even terrified their own officers. One remarked in a letter that he was very glad there was such a good supply of Frenchmen to fight, for the Connaught men had such a love of fighting he thought they would happily turn on their Spanish allies given half a chance. He also remarked that the only problem with the Irish was in getting them to actually fire their muskets before taking the bayonet to the enemy, so eager were they for a proper brawl.
    So, all in all this is some Froggy Conscript energy right here.

      By all accounts they said much worse things than this. It was the French conscripts who would make such weak attempts at intimidation. The British Infantryman would make genuine threats that the French Officers able to speak English were absolutely certain they fully intended to carry out. It’s one of the reasons they held our troops in such high regard aside from their professionalism. The French regarded their own infantry as pretty cowardly, which is why they often used column formations to attack, and were jealous of the British for having troops able to stand in a mere two ranks deep without getting scared and running away. The ones who got within earshot usually attributed this to the apparently genuine desire of the English to fight with and kill their enemies.

      @@ChronicCheater this information comes from notes included in various books I’ve read about the Napoleonic Wars. The reference to the French Officers being glad their men couldn’t understand English is included I believe in a book called The Rifles, or possibly just Rifles. I’m afraid all the information I have gathered is in the form of books so I don’t know where you would find it online, but if you pick up a good biography of Wellington, or a general history of the Napoleonic wars, it should provide a good starting point with plenty of references for further reading.
      If you prefer something a bit lighter I recommend reading the Sharpe novels. The books are quite entertaining, the accounts of the battles are historically accurate, and historical notes about points of interest are included to provide extra insight, and good sources of further reading if you’re interested in the topic.

They had a few spare uniforms available for new members. After a while I purchased my own uniform tailor made to my measurements by someone who specialises in making historical clothing for reenactors. This video was filmed at one of the 18th century battle events in Vizile, France that our group attended along with over 1500 reenactors from groups all over Europe. You can hear other reenactors test firing their muskets at 0:46, 1:58, 2:01 & 3:35 shortly before the big battle performed in front of public crowds.

Just clock the reactions & facial expressions ALL DAY LONG, dig on THE LOOKS, and then act like anyone who has to ask you what you just said and/or asks what it means is so-far-gone, stone-cold crazy that it's disgusting & gross & you aren't even going to waste any breath explaining it to them. Turn & stroll casually away. Eyes open to yr. next spontaneous opportunity & run the same script, each & every time. Refine your delivery. Get in the rhythm through practice. Like a complicated version of "that's what she said!!", but less awkward. Always listening for the exact... right... spot. And quick on the trigger. THAT kind of chaos magic, unleashed by vast legions upon the world near-simultaneous could shatter the idea of language as a invaluable tool of communication. Maybe we'd eventually give up talking to one another altogether. If we all try REALLY hard, maybe they'll even just let us resign our position as humans & go back to being apes. That would be SICK. It was so much simpler then, up in the tree... and the cheetah your greatest fear, not the absence of logic. I'll trade ALL of my logic in for just a PINCH of base instinct. ANYDAY.
