Lily Collins Teaches You British Slang | Vanity Fair - Zábava
A British born American teaching British slang to other Americans(and Also international fans) whilst also sporting a heavy American accent the range 😂.
She’s American-born English (her dad is the English musician Phil Collins) his music is heavily in the cartoon Tarzan
Yeah duuuh... like Phil needs an introduction..
She was born in the UK not the US
She was born in the UK but raised mostly in America by her American mum
Lmaooooooooooooooooooo...I love Lily sooo much but that was exactly what I said before clicking on the video haha. Great comment.
This girl has looked 16 the last 10 years
I think she looks mature before but now she undergone facelift,eye and brow lift and cheeks. So comeplete face lift and contour. She also lost weight. Look at her brows it used to be straight but its arching upwards even without moving it. But the overall surgery did turn out well. I used to think she has sad face but now its different like she has fieceness LMAO
@@jhs3591 Sorry, but where did you see she had surgery? And please don't talk about her weight. She used to have eating disorders.
@@amandar273 Its obvious. She used to have downward eyebrows and eyes. Its not major surgery just lifts. And as I said the minor surgery looks good on her. Compare her other photos you'll see.it. I dont know much about her weight problems cause I dont know much about her personal things, I just watched some of her movies. I think her loss of weight today fits her.
These days' 16 year olds look 36
J HS wow you really are obsessed with her
Nobody in Britain says “I’m cream knackered” we say “I’m cream crackered” which means knackered
Exactly
I’m glad I’m not the only one , who’s like this is so wrong !
cockney rhyming slang, right? like calling stairs "apples and pears"
Exactly
To be clear, she didn’t choose the words. She’s just saying what it means.
For those who are confused, Lily was born and raised in the UK until she turned 6 (I think because her parents divorced?) and then moved to L.A after that. She did have a British accent but kids made fun of her, so she decided to get rid of that.
(Plus most accents disappear after living somewhere for a while. There are other celebrities that have noticeably lost their accent after living in America)
Most of the slang is incorrect lmao...
Everyone has an accent.
But she was six when she moved... she’s spent more time in LA
Poor Lily. I think British accent is very mint.
how was she able to get rid of her accent tho
It’s so weird hearing British slangs in a very harsh American accent. 😀
Basically all of these aren’t used and the ones that are have the wrong definition 💀
Exactly when she said brolly I was like wtf is that and I’m British then I realised it was brolly LMAO 😂
she was born in england.....
@@luciaagostini still doesn’t change her American accent and most of these are used wrongly or outdated.
Yeep
Any Brits here just embarrassed cos half of these aint even slang and are mostly wrong
Hi. Which ones are wrong?
@@Lommy9999
Blub = cry
Cream crackered (Cockney rhyming slang) = knackered = tired - they got the expression wrong, cream knackered isn’t a thing
Lurgy isn’t pronounced lur-jee its pronounced lur-gg-ee
Half of these aren’t slang terms, they’re just names for things. And most of these are either really old school and not used or regionally specific.
@@Monkeyboy1138 Exactly, loads of them are just definitions or just names - you could say them in loads of other places and people would still understand you. Stuff like 'sorted', 'fancy', 'cheeky' - not really slang.
@@Monkeyboy1138 Interesting thank you! You should make a list or a video about actual cool slang people can learn. 📖🤸♂️
@@Lommy9999 haha, I really don’t know that much.
One thing I will add (that I didn’t before), is that Lush is mostly specific to the South West region of the UK (where I live) and normally is said with the word ‘girt’. So, it would be ‘girt lush’, meaning ‘really good/looks good/tastes good/sounds good’. If you want an idea of what people in the South West of England sound like, watch the Hobbiton parts of Lord of the Rings, then imagine one of them saying ‘girt lush’ 🤣
It's cream CRACKERED. Not cream knackered. It's cockney rhyming slang - "cream crackered = knackered"
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cream+crackered
Exactly. I was coming here to post that.
@@SeanTube2099 Same! And also to blub is to cry!!
I;m italian and even I know that ;)
No one, in the entire history of Britain, has ever said ‘cream knackered’
This cracked me up 😂😂😂
Facts😂
My grands usually say "knackered"
I thought it was cream crackered😭
@@redmccormick2873 it is they phrased it wrong
‘Blub’ means to cry and it’s ‘cream crackered’ which is rhyming slang for ‘knackered’ which means exhausted - it’s a reference to the ‘knackers yard’ where exhausted over worked horses were sent to be made into glue. Not at all bad for someone who’s been over the pond for a while though.
They should have said over the pond!
Knackers were the Gypsies who bought old horses to cook them down into glue...thus reference to the old broken down horses they bought
I’m English, and I’m sorry to say she got so many of these wrong. Her team haven’t done her any favours with this one 🤦🏻♂️
Literally or I’ve never heard of some of these 🤣🤣🤣 of all the slang words to choose they completely missed the mark love her tho
Can you give an example?
yep, she "botched" most of them up or pronounced them incorrectly, lol, WOZZOCK , its bloody Wazzock, shes a wazzock alright
Isn't 'blub' supposed to mean crying?
@@paulwoodhouse4757 typically yes
I am still heartbroken she is engaged, as if i had a chance lmaooo, wish them the best tho
SIMP!
who's she engaged to?
Noah Sherman - Charlie McDowell
No hate I like her
But she seriously out of all people she selected Freakin Charlie McDowell??
I hope this relationship is permanent
Cyber Wick - I don’t really know much about him but people seem to have strong opinions on him and relationships
As a British person I've literally never heard half of these things
Same
Lots are regionally specific so it doesn’t make a lot sense
i live in the north west and we do use a lot of these lmao but some are the wrong definitions and some i’ve never heard of
literally!!
Some of them are northerner things. I say most of these
being born in the UK but raised and spent their whole life in America doesn't make you qualified to teach British slang i am dyingg
And then saying "we love this one"...who's we bc youre american hahaha
She lived back and forth. She spent her first few years here in the UK and then was back and forth. But her dad (I think) is British so I guess she still grew up with a lot of British slang and raised like a British kid 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ (It does sound really weird hearing British phrases with such a strong American accent 😂😂)
If you know it, you can teach it
So painful to watchhhh
@@omolayooluwadare6932 yes, Phil Collins is her father.
She sounds American so she should have opened with "I sound American but I grew up in both in the US and England as my father is English."
She’s Phil Collin’s daughter I think we all know she’s half british lol
@@demibellini6915 Nope. I had no clue who she was until I looked her up on Wikipedia. I saw she was listed as a Producer of EinP so I looked her to find out more information as to how someone who was so young could be a producer.
@@demibellini6915 you'd be surprised how many people don't know who Phil Collins is, a real shame
@@demibellini6915 No such thing! She's American-grew up in the US. Ethinicity half Enligh and Half American
@@nadiaasif6837 No! She grew up in the UK
Lol i have never heard the word Bezzle and i'm English. Swear she researched them first. Or maybe just making them up? Blub definitely means to cry and the phrase is Cream Crackered, not cream knackered.
lol, ikr. Well I did get blub and she got it wrong! It means to cry, no? Unless there are multiple meanings.
Yeah I kind of think she doesn't know half of these and is making them up or mixing them up with obscure American usage
That makes sense, I think most people are familiar with "blubbering" due to pirate films...
@@mattioli13 well it's a pretty common phrase in Norfolk (where I am), if someone is blubing and blaring, they're crying
Totally was not shouting at my screen saying "Cream Crackered" haha - its supposed to be cockney rhyming slang ...... "Cream Crackered" means Knackered :D
this is hilarious because so much of it is wrong lmao, bless her
Surely its cream crackered? No
You can really tell she hasn't been to the UK in a while
Because of the accent?
@@abc98114 That and the fact that I have never heard anyone in the uk say those words and if they do use a few it is certainly not in the content that she is saying them x
Sarah 117 you think man don’t use fancy, cheeky, leg it, nick, flog, fit and wasteman?
It the heavy American accent while teaching these terms just doesn’t sit right loll
She didn't grow up in the UK as evident
Getting a Brit to explain these would make more sense if they didn’t grow up in the states for most of their younger life (particularly teen years when you tend to pick up slang)
British person here!! So many are wrong! Its cream crackered!! That was the worst one!!
Besides cream crackered and wasteman, which others were wrong? I felt like they weren't too bad except for her pronunciation of them.
Bezzle is like drugs like ecstasy and kentamine not going out for a drink
I think she meant Bevvie for drink and crying for Blub!!!
I'm sorry "cream knackered"?? Isn't it cream crackered? Like the point is that it's cockney rhyming slang for knackered which means tired, no?
It's cream crackered in my household.
Yep it’s Cream Crackered, rhymes with Knackered... never heard it any other way anywhere in the country
Kin ell kin knackered
Kin pub closed mate!
Half of these aren’t English slang at all. “Cream knackered”? It’s cream crackered isn’t it?
I like the way she always goes back to use some previous words and make sentences. Mush better and very effective way. And it shows how she is thinking and talking simultaneously. She IS quite smart and full of beans.
just FYI her father is Phil Collins.. the man that always makes me cry at every song
TARZAN SOUNDTRACK😭
soulpainter GHE BEST DISNEY SOUNDTRACK OMFG
OMG I didn't know that!! Ha.
I've grown up in the UK and I've not heard half of these before
Cream Crackered, surely? As that is rhyming slang for “knackered”.
Also, “lurgy” has a hard G, not a soft G.
“Nick” can also mean incarceration. “He’s in the nick” - police cells or prison.
Plus, 'lurgy' doesn't mean someone who's feeling sick, it means the sickness itself, e.g. "I've got the lurgy" or "Don't give me your lurgy!" (a general term for germs or infection).
And before you're 'in the nick', you can also *be* 'nicked', as in caught/arrested.
There are a few I haven't heard in my 21 years in the UK (though age may be a factor there), and others that aren't quite right or entirely thorough, but then I guess that's understandable, given that she left the UK when she was 7.
“Lippy” does mean giving backchat, but it’s also short for lipstick.
In N. Ireland I more often hear that word for lipstick.
Nah, I used to hear people saying “Don’t get lippy with me!” when I was little. It died out in the late 90s - early 2000s tbh.
Is it "lippy" = mouthy, giving back-talk; "lippie" = lipstick?
it means both depends where u live
It means both, they’re used both ways commonly
Now do american slang with Emilia Clarke's accent.
she was born in england and lived there until age 6 but no longer has an accent
@@gigi8091 she has but didn't use it while in states,
Watch Love, Rosie
@@rosie3736 Her British accent is fake. Her natural accent is what you hear in this video.
@@imouto4hire It's ridiculous how poeple think that she has a British accent.
@@rosie3736 Not real
This is offensive to Great Britain
indeed
Hahha
Drama queens
8:14 “We don’t like to be miffed. We like to be full of beans!” Sooo cute
im british & dont say any of these lmao this is slang americans think british ppl use
The term is “cream crackered” for “knackered” “our kid” is a reference to a sibling.
R KID could be to a mate aswell
Cream knackered!? Looool surely cream crackered which means knackered
I'm American and even I raised an eyebrow on that one.
Yeah ive never heard that before! It’s definitely cream crackered.
cream knackered ffs
You’re right how did she and VF get that wrong...
You can by knackered, you can be cream crackered but not cream knackered!
She’s so gorg and sweet I love seeing her in more projects
00:39 Blub actually means to cry! The same as sob.
00:50 Should actually be 'Cream Crackered', cockney rhyming slang for knackered.
she’s literally the prettiest 💕
Lilly teaching super clearly like a teacher,cool.With sentence examples,love'y
She got most right. Relax, lads and lasses. Though she definitely did some research. She left the UK too young to know more recent slang like wasteman.
So why she teaching what she doesn't know.
It’s “cream crackered” rhyming slang for “knackered” i.e tired, exhausted, worn out.
She seems so happy and satisfied after the engagement . Wish her the best
It's 'cream crackered' not 'cream knackered'. They presented some of this slang incorrectly to Lily but but she was very sweet about it and just rolled with it.
I am not familiar with Lily and after I heard her American accent I was like 'Whaaaaat? I thought you were British' and then did a quick Google check lmao
Sameeeeeee
Well, to put it simply, she is a UK-born, US-raised, dual-citizen English-American.
lmao the definition of a wasteman being lazy...i think it's a bit more than that.
Doesn’t even mean lazy
It means a complete idiot . Right ?
@@samlal3618 It's more like a wannabe gangster/loser.
@@XyPhEr5 but people change the meaning of words over time and make them slang
a man who wastes your time
Omg!!!
I love her sooo much
This made my day
she's so smart!!!! that's why i love her so much ❤
Brilliantly done, I LOVE how she started connecting them all together... Lily you are amazing, I didn't even know who you were until 2 days ago when I started watching Emily in Paris (which is brilliant) and to find out who your dad was! Well, that's just even more brilliant! I feel like "I've been waiting for this moment for all my life" but now I need to get back to my day, which could indeed be "another day for you and me in paradise" 😉🤣
“My dad used to call me” oh yea just Phil Collins telling her she is full of beans
I loved everything about this video.
she has a lovely and adorable characteristic
I became confused after seeing her strong American accent, then I remember her strong British accent in Love, Rosie.
Her life is definitely complicated. Thanks, Google. 🙂
She does not have a British accent!
@@nadiaasif6837 She do. 😀 If you watch and listen closely to her words on Love, Rosie! 🥂
*It’s Chewsday innit?*
I guess you’d say “For-toon 500 company”. And “he was cap-toored by the enemy”.
Pokimane 2.0 so cringe
LMAO
She is really good at it and really helps to memorize those slang definitions by repeating them within the context
Aww Imagine a smol Lily being called "full of beans" by Phill. So cuuuuuute
I haven't heard quite a few of these but "cream knackered"?! It's meant to be "cream crackered" which is cockney rhyming slang for "knackered" (aka exhausted).
I didn't think she got that many wrong but the pronunciation for some of the words wasn't great :D
this makes her seem like her character in Emily in Paris
This girl is sorted!! Love Emily in Paris
I frikin love her!!!
For anyone who is reading this, it’s okay to not be okay, things will get better eventually. There is always a light at the end of every tunnel, please remember you are enough! You’re beautiful, never let anyone tell you different! There’s no such thing as ugly or fat and also not being enough! Everyone is enough, your differences make you the person you are today! I hope everyone is staying safe! ❤️
thnk u so much
what a lush thing to say thankyou.. 🙂
it's not easy..
Emily in Paris ❤️
She’s already so cool and imagine if she had a British accent😍
She would make a great teacher.... Very confident and intelligent .. she could run the world
shes also giving the wrong answers/definitions so no, she would absolutely not make a 'great teacher'. What good is fake confidence if you're saying the wrong things!
@JermaineGertse She's givin out wrong information
The fact that Lily is THIS British without the accent is the best thing ever❤️❤️
But why is she
LyN3 she is the daughter of Phil Collins a famous British musician and was raised in Britain for part of her life but for a large part of her adult life had lived in America hence the accent
lmao, she aint, half of these aint british slang.. and the others are incorrect like "Cream Knackered" thats wrong... its Cream Crackered
James she is lmao 😂
James she was born in England and moved to LA when she was 6, I think it’s ok if she got some of them wrong
“you wanna be someone who’s sorted”
does she even know what she’s talking about😂
I could listen to Lily forever and not get bored 🥺😍🥰
She suggested several FANCY examples👍 I totally love it 🤪
I’m confused by her definition of ‘blub’ because ive only ever heard it used to mean ‘cry’ or ‘sob’ like if you had a ‘row’ with your partner, you might have a bit of a ‘blub’ about it. Also ive never heard anyone say lurgy with a j sound, it’s always a hard g.
Yeah she was the wrong candidate to do this
Amy She was a weird choice considering how american she sounds, but there were a few in the video I didn’t know off the top of my head that she seemed to know. Also, we don’t really know how much time shes spent in the uk, could be most of her life for all we know. Still a few questionable definitions in there though 😂
It’s because she wrong. She was wrong with quite a few. It’s embarrassing.
Vanity Fair has been doing this "variety of slang introductions" for awhile. And never have I felt more taught than this! She explained it sooo well with the examples and all… 👍💜💜💜 BRAVO!! 👏
but some are wrong
@@futuramabender2078pretty much all of them are wrong
a lot of those words are also used here in South Africa like sorted, lash, fancy and others ❤️
I love just watching her
She 100% googled these or got props before. I’m a Geordie/British person and the way she’s explaining them especially ‘mint’ has me floored 😂 she pronounced lurgy waaaay wrong too. she’s lived in America WAAAY longer than she lived in the UK the concept for this interview is WILD hahaha
Even if she grew up in the UK and lived in the US longer she would have known.
I’m English and I’ve never heard anyone say they’re going for a bezzle 😂 Bevvie, maybe.
The way she said _"i know that i do"_
Sorry, but so many of these are wrong!
I’m British and haven’t heard of most of these lol
Is this a joke? Your slang videos are usually so on point.
Lily is the best✨😍
she is a great teacher!
Some of these are wrong
It may happen with Millie Bobbie Brown after a few years living in the US.
She grew up in the UK lol, so it's impossible for her to lose her British upbringing.
“Blub” means to cry.
I can watch her speak all day.
why does it feel like she is making it up as she goes along 😂😂
I see Lily i click
NOT HER EXPLAINING WASTEMAN😭
What does it actually mean?
@@neptune_2002 idiot,dickhead etc
Waste of space, useless
AND EXPLAINING IT COMPLETELY WRONG😭
Chat up is also used in the USA, with the same meaning.
I didn’t even know she was British.... 🤷🏼♀️ she has such a strong American accent! You learn something new everyday. 💕
Because she is american. Shes born and raised in the US just like her mom. Its just her dad is british. Shes half british but mostly american.
Why am I watching this? I’m British and I already know what nearly all of these mean.
well i am brazilian and every time that something has to do with brazil in this kind of videos we watch. i understand.
AND HALF OF THESE ARE WRONG
How about "can't be arsed" or "can't be bothered" those are my favs cuz there's no American equivalent.
Yes , & Thank You Teacher Lily Collins! 🌷🌿🌎💖🇬🇧
She is delightful
can someone pls list all the ones she got wrong.. and the correct definition. I’m a genuinely curious American, I wanna learn lol
And it’s lurgy with a hard g, not a soft ‘gee’ - strictly you’d describe the illness as a lurgy, not the ill person.
Blub is to cry, its cream crackered, no idea what a bezzie is, and it's waz zock not w.e she said haha. The rest are close enough
@@2462bf2 thank you sm! I really appreciate it
The pronunciation of ‘waz-zock’ .... no baby no
it’s bc of her accent
love her
She is the most beautiful human being
shes basically american i havent heard most of these in my entire life this makes me want to cry.
Isn’t this the woman who doesn’t know how to speak french when she’s in Paris 🙊🙊
She actually speaks French in real life
@@melaniesalphabetgirl you must be the fun of the parties🥴
Nere Corral joke’s on you I’m never invited
Alphabet Girl haha sameeeeee. Um Netflix > awkward social interactions any day
I learnt US English at school, but got so used to British TV that I was quite surprised that so many of these are not used in the US... Like "Row".
How she said lurgy got me 😂
Most of these I’ve never heard before
i’m in love w this girl. She’s stunning ❤️
i think ana de armas is more stunning
So proud of my baby 🥺
She’s gorgeous she’s smart she’s fun and full of life
