Cheers 'Bare Jokes with Joel & Lia'. Mans had a bangin' time filming this collab ; )
So welcome. Our mandem are lovin it!
Love your videos 😂
We actually use the words "beef" and "bangin'" here in the U.S. as well.
And "bare" here means naked. lol BTW, Manz says Joel is just too adorable! :) lol
songbird989 NY people also used beef to dismiss someone when they something dumb. Between 2008-2015.
bare means naked too but if you were to say bare in london people wouldn’t think naked only adults would or people who don’t know slang
Im pretty sure "beef" is a US slang adopted by London via hip hop!
When I hear the word 'bangin'....I think of someone having sex with a chick. LOL If I used it in a sentence in America I would say, 'Is he bangin(g) that chick?'
I love the British London Slang, and collab with Tom from Eat Sleep Dream English and Thank you, Joel and Lia!!!
Omg!! Ive subscribed to both channels and Im gobsmacked, so ecstatic these two channels made a collab! I very much enjoyed watching it and it's real funny. Thanks for making this!
You guys are absolutely amazing.Your video is invariably fantastic.
aw thank you! So glad you liked it!
Bangin' video) You are all great!
I realise nobody gave you guys the memo or mentioned that all the Slangs are from the Jamaicans who settled in London and it became apart of the culture, the same thing happened in Toronto and that's why there are similarities in both places. So no it's not American especially "yard"...Jamaicans are known as yardies and we say yard, I hope that helps.
Yep, If you watch the whole video we mention that a lot of the words come from Patois (like Jamaican Patois)
No, yard is a US word also, and it's not a slang. It's what we call the land that our homes sit on. We do yard work, and have back yard barbecues on the weekends. Just to put it in context for you.
j nokes not trying to start an argument here but I think you misunderstood what the poster above means.
When he said yard is not an American word he means as slang.
So the definition you have given is a correct dictionary definition of a yard but as a slang word "I'm going to Tony's house" becomes "I'm going to Tony's yard" and to use the word yard as a substitute for the entire house rather than just the backyard is a slang originating in Jamaica but used in London. I hope that's not too long winded! :-)
Mik Della we used beef for fight in the US in 1978
The Yardbirds started in the 1960s. Does that come from Jamaica too?

bangin' and beef are actually american hip hop slang that you have adopted in england. in america, we also use beef as a verb, to disagree.

You lot are the BEST!
Cheers. This is a bangin' video. Thanks for that!
Amazing ;) you're catching on!
I love to see you together!
Nice. Bangin' and Beef are old American slang. Beef goes back to the 1920's, bangin' the 1980's hip-hop slang. We also say Fam sometimes but mainly to mean actual family, but sometimes friends that are like family. hahah, love when you sing "hoes in different area codes" lol. An "area code" is part of our phone numbers. So in LA we might say that someone is from the 818 - which means they are from the valley where people have 818 area codes in their phone number. Another great video :) We also say "manz", also from hip-hop slang, just short for saying "a man has got to eat" - "manz gotta eat". Really super interesting that you use "yard" for your house. We actually don't say that, but we do call our garden a yard. But it really ONLY means the garden, not the house in any way. So interesting how it developed there.
LUV IT! YOU GUYS CRACK ME UP !!!! :DDD
Thanks! ❤️
thank you
Same slang all across England? Like Newcastle where I’ll be moving in three months?
Never heard of marzipan? I don't know if I spelt that right, but what is that?
You all are priceless
I just found you guys. I love your chemistry😍😍😍
Re: Ends, my dh says, these are 'my stomping grounds'. I just say 'my neighborhood'. I've also heard 'my neck of the woods'. (We are in the Southeastern U.S.)
Lia, I laughed so hard when you said "Manz goin to his mum's house" 😂😂😂😂😂
Interesting, in Dutch we casually use the prefix 'bere' with very similar meaning. It comes from 'beer' (bear), not sure where bare comes from.
Lia is defo bangin!!! 😍😍😍
Lol
All we have to do is look into the future to vlogmas, where Lia admits marzipan is at least not evil.
Is the estuary accent the same as the cockney or not?
Very funny thank you!
Bangin!
Bare jokes with the fam ×D
I laughed so hard 😂😂😂 I love you guys
haha, thanks Anissa!
British English with Joel & Lia you're very welcome :)
Y'all are hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Area Codes by Ludacris!! I love it! In the U.S. we don't use "yard" as a way to say our home. Yard is just our front lawn or garden. We do say "fam" though! I also say "bestie" for close friend.
Have you heard the word "dude"?
I would love to know the origin or how the words became to mean these....
Only 3 years late but another one for local area is 'neck of the woods'. Not sure it's exactly slang but it's a turn of phrase and I think it's used more in UK than America.
So much of this quite strange to Aussies. But like Jamaicans we say yard' because the size of a house block includes a front yard and a back yard. The garden fits in those spaces.
I love you all!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Beef and fam we use in the states as well
Props to Lia knowing "Area Codes" by Ludacris. Area codes in the USA are 3 digits. The first 3 digits in a phone number. Slang for their neighborhood can be an area code like "I live in the 808". We also have zipcodes, which are at the end of a mailing address in the states. The most commonly known to you guys in the UK is probably "90210" because of the TV show. 90210 is Beverly Hills, Ca. Luda had hoes in area codes though, and the song is a road map. lol
These slang words are quite similar to Toronto slang! “Fam” “Bare” “Manz” “Mandem” are biggg ones here too. All your videos make me miss England/London so much!!!
Aww! Come back!
"Out and about", that's an interesting phrase. Does it mean around?
If you are out and about it just means you are somewhere
Bangin bangers and mash. We say bangin too.
Pal is such a Yorkshire word! It’s so weird that the slang in London is quite different to the slang in West Yorkshire (Halifax) xx
there's so many more
I'm Canadian and I use the word "beef" like that, and we also say "What end of the city are you from?" "I'm from the west end" or "I'm from the south end." not ends. The rest were new words to me. Except I need to clarify that I call the land just outside my house my "yard" but I definitely don't call my house a yard. Do you guys do that?
Lol we use "fam" all the time here in L.A California. My friends and I call each other fam lol.
Like Joel eluded to, Britain has kind of “taken “ many of these slang terms from Black American Hip Hop culture and Caribbean patois. Playing with slang is fun . Its also good to know where sayings originate, Kudos for pointing that out .
Have these slangs always been around the culture or they somewhat new? They sound like a British take off from the urban/ hip hop movement.
We use "beef" in the US.
Most all these we use in the States
I would love to see you guys do a collaboration with "The Chicken Coinesseur" who is also a London slang Coinesseur! Or/and Rants and Bants!
In the US, you can say I'm just joshing with ya. When you want to say you were joking. Do you say that too?
Do you have coins less than a pound, but more than a penny? Isn't there something called "A few bob"?
Bare jokes with Tom, Joel & Lia. XD
We also say music is boping or I'm boping to music and food is fire if it's really good.
you guys crack me up! So, in the US there are different area codes for little sections within each state. It is used for phone numbers. The first 3 numbers are the area code. Also, in New Jersey, we describe where we live by the exit off our major toll highway (the parkway we call it). It runs the stretch of our state from north to south. So, one person from south jersey would say their town and if someone didn't know that town, they'd say, "oh I am at exit 38." And then the other person will understand where that town is located. This description of your town is a regional thing and people from other states don't really do that.
"Fam" "Beef" are all American slang as well. Good to know I can survive in London. Although I heard that if you go up to a bird in a pub and chirps her, that she will look upon that as low class.
I have a light question, why did England back off of world colonization?
'Beef' is an old term which has been brought back into popular use. 'No worries' is an Australian term, so Australian English
Wagwan bruv, safe fam, you gud cuz? Manz linking some peng gyaldem down ends.
Could you please explain cheeky mandos?
it's Nandos, it's just a cheap restaurant chain. It's a pretty meaningless phrase popularised by a TV show. It would be like saying" let's hang out at MacDonalds"
Please do more british english lessons together..
From the American peanut gallery, I say, "bloody brilliant,"
some of these slang are used in New york
YOUTH CULTURE IM CRYING 😂😂😂😂 it’s v weird havin this guy proper explain these words like it’s a class 😂
Not to start no beef but your British slang was bangin in the here in The States in like 1990
that was a hilarious video
haha, thanks Ian! Too many laughs! 😂
Nice to learn ur accent😊
Thank you!
Bangin' is similar to popping in the states. This is poppin'
Okay, that clears up the "garden" thing. I was reading something where the British parents told their little boys to go out and play football in the garden, and thinking, "What? Why would they send little kids out to crush the flowers?" A yard often has a garden in it which is a defined space of plants and flowers. Sometimes the garden is fenced off from the yard.
Ah that's another big difference in meaning then! It's endless! haha
Gerard from Kentucky. We say I have beef or "I have some beef to talk"
Stay lit fam
In the USA we use some of these: manz gotta eat, do you have a beef with me?, fam cuz I’m too lazy to Tex family and bangin for stuff that’s awesome :)
Fam means family in america as well
"Beef" was a popular slang term (same definition) in early to mid twentieth century America. It is still used & considered a common term today. (Maybe London's just arrived a little late to this particular party- ???)
I also think your "bare" might actually be "bear" another American slang term that's been around for a LONG time.
i.e.: "It was a bear of a day!", or "I had a bear of a time getting everything done!"
"Allow that" and "Bare" seem to mean the opposite of the actual definition of the words. "Beef" is used the same way in the US. In fact, I think it has been used that way since the 1950's. I can understand how you came up with all the other slang. Although, garden and yard would not be the same thing in the US. you could have a garden in your yard. A yard is usually a grassy area around your home (front yard, back yard) and a garden is a section of your property where you plant vegetables or other food bearing plants. A yard you would relax in and a garden you would work in.
We use beef and bangin in the US. Though I heard beef more in the 90s.
Interesting. I thought allow that was an agreement. We use bangin' & beef like that.
You could explain and mention nosh and knackered. From enjoying British shows I have figured that this is related to needed to eat food. Completely British terms though.
oblio grace nosh = food; knackered = extremely tired
BEEF... Same here in American. When you have a beef with someone. "Hey! What's your BEEF???
