I know it's spelt as Derby, but it's pronounced Darby. Also shire becomes sure/shur when attached to a place name.
Was just going to do the same thing 😂😂😂😂
Having reacted to Map Men on pronouncing English Place and County names, I would have thought the trap door for mispronouncing Derbyshire was wide open! 😂
@@pedanticlady9126 True, but usually said wrong by people that don't live in one (usually people from London are telling me I'm saying it wrong, then I point out the Yorkshire rose). But you've then got accents like the Liverpool and Newcastle ones where they extend their vouls, I can forgive for that. Also them using completely different vouls at the same time in every day life. But the sure/shur sound is mainly used by the people that live and have family in these places, also lived there for many generations.
also shear
@@kleptu_ Look at my comment before the one you put, it will explain some things.
"giving the bus a ticket" - the bus was for German football team Borussia Dortmund which was parked up illegally (taking up six parking spaces ) while the team played English club Newcastle United in the Champions League. £50 fine to take home with them back to Germany !
I think they parked up at Whitley bay.
That was hilarious.
Cheap parking IMHO
The horn on dat lorry is baddddd assssss!!!
Then the cat killed me… pisss take 😅
what song is it?
Love your videos! The confusion on your face is priceless! We are pretty weird to be honest! Still proud to be English, though! 😅 🏴 🇬🇧 (That girls cat was definitely taking the piss. It means, "taking the piss out of it's owner", ie. Making her pull over to give it a lift home, like she is it's taxi driver! 😂 Cat's are epic.)
Just found your channel and loving your vibe!! Your funny, witty and like us Brits a bit dry.. and must say your voice is soothing to listen to. Is really relaxing! Keep up the good work!!❤
London foxes are bold as hell, they'd saunter up like "you took your time putting the food out bruh"...
it must be difficult for you to get the heavy regional accents
scouse and brum are particularly thick
For future reference, "Derby" is pronounced "Darby" and "shire" is pronounced more like "shuh/sher". It isn't The Shire. No Hobbits live there (last I checked). :) But yeah, DAR-BE-SHER is closer to how the natives say it.
Liking your vibe of looking stuff up that you don't know instead of just saying "I don't know where that is" :)
as a scouser myself i even had trouble understanding her, shes what we call a gummy bear for the lack of teeth
She'll be handing out the best jobs in Toxteth though she carries the no teeth guarantee
The scousers weren’t hard to understand. She asked for a tenner. He said he didn’t have a penny but (can’t recall the names) had won 10k on a bet on the footie, the night before. She said she asked them already. He told her to go up there and ask for a ‘score’ and say Darren had sent her…. That was the main gist of it anyway! 😂
It's called ghost town by a top band called the Specials .I couldnot understand them at all lol
The strange guy in Birmingham playing the mobile piano, was singing along to a song called Ghost Town by an eighties band called The Specials Please give it a listen. It's an important song, it came out in1981 at the height of Thatcherism. It's culturally A VERY impotant moment for some of us. It was at number one in the charts as huge riots occured around many British cities, including the infamous Brixton riots (an area south of the river in London). By the time the second Brixton riots occured in 1985, I had moved to London and was bang in the middle of it. We had riot police at the end of the road and I watched live news reports on my tiny black and white TV being broadcast live from the end of the street. A surreal moment. The next day i went to my corner shop to buy a newspaper to read all the reports, but the shop had burnt to the ground. For those that know about these things I lived just off Coldharbour Lane.
The band themselves were from a city called Coventry, not far from Birmingham, but that area was responsible for a musical movement called Two Tone, a multi cutural music style centered around Jamaican ska, reggae and punk. Bands that were part of the movement included The Specials, The Beat, The Selecter, Bad Manners and Madness.
Agree!
I wouldn’t say 2 years into an 11 year term would have been the height of Thatcherism lol
@@liamblack2574 i agree, but the Falklands the next year defined her
I was in my local in Nottingham, when there were rumours that riots were going to take place in the city. The landlady, Beryl, insisted we stay locked in the pub until about 2am.
"Is that a human?.... oh its a little person" 😂 just the way you said it 😂
I struggled a bit with one or two of the accents too. I think the Liverpool/Scouser bit was that she wanted to borrow £10, but the person filming told her that someone they both knew had won £10,000 on a forty-bet (40/1), so the other person is who she should be asking for money. My guess is that it's not true, so he's just deflected to send her onto someone else, to bother them instead.
Taking the piss also means to try and take advantage of someone. "I know I borrowed a tenner from you but is there any chance I can get another one?" "Are you taking the piss?"
man wasnt expecting derby mention lmao. from derby myself, yes the floods were an absolute nightmare. i was already sick at the time and the bus services were completely shunted so i had to walk to work instead and it gave me pneumonia. absolutely sucked. my workplace is right on the river and has a library in it. we still have damage from it. wouldve loved a kayak instead lol
The bus that got the ticket was a bus carrying a very popular german football team, not something you see everyday in the UK 😂
Foxes are getting so bold! You used to only see them at night in the city, but now they stroll through town in the middle of the day like they're on their way to work or something!
The little girl putting her face to that guys bum is one of the players for my team Bolton Wanderers, He's called Josh Sheehan, Welsh lad. Absolute legend
I know Santa's Driver's pain, as I once drove 15 miles home from work, after my clutch cable broke. Praying that every traffic light was not going to turn red. 🤣
Neuron a typical .. typical response from Murica .. he was a worker taking down a tree with his hands …. Jeeeees…
Terry halls the singer check him out
You should do ASMR....I close my eyes and listen to your voice, so calm, so gentle. It's absolutely lovely. Love your vids x
Check out the flooding in looe Cornwall my old town were I used to live just a couple of days ago it gets flooded often but this was really bad
If you put a little person side by side with a dwarf, both of them know which one is the dwarf. 😅
Billy Connelys Dwarf on a bus joke is fantastic, please look for it.
by the way Derby is pronounced Darby
Loved your facial expressions when listening to the Scousers 😂😂
"I don't know what just happened".
Sorry, I can't help it. I'm just laughing out loud now.
That guy in Birmingham who was playing the piano was special 😂
Just been announced that February 2024 was the wettest and warmest ever recorded in the UK.
There have been lots of flooding in the UK in recent years, due to global warming.
It's was Edward Maya stereo love. And other music madness. That guy was on Britain got talent
I'd say that the better definition of "taking the piss" is more like "taking the mickey" / "leg pulling". That sort of thing.
She had to stop in the middle of the road to allow her cat to get inside the car, otherwise the cat was positions in such a way, that just driving off wouldve endangered its life.
Making her look silly to anyone watching or stood behind her in a car.
The cat was taking the piss, an absolute piss taker.
I have learnt more about My country since watching your videos 😅 thankyou ♥️ ps I love how interested you are in the UK too 😊
Someone that is taking the Piss is also said to be a Liberty Taker
also the cats takin the piss cos he wont wait till mum gets home to start mitherin her, he wants to start early before she gets home
The Birmingham clip is quite interesting. Birmingham is a city in the Midlands as you’ll probably know now, and he was singing Ghost Town by The Specials, a classic ska Two tone song from 1981 (two tone referring to the bands having mixed race members), who were a band from Coventry which is a city just down the road.
more of these , more more more!
"anyone around dErby i hope is doin well" ...... if they were they wouldve left
🤣
Piss taking, or taking the piss. In this case means to take advantage of someone, usually to their detriment. Also to be cheeky or rude in a humorous way. To take the micky.
Someone or thing that is a “piss take(r)” can be someone who is annoying/makes you go out of your way all the time. The sort of person who planning things with is complicated could be called “abit of a piss take” or some who “takes the piss” god knows why but that’s how it is.love your videos btw
8:42 lady looks like an ark character
Pornounced as Darby !
Just because you can't understand, it doesn't mean it is your fault especially when it is a bad recording.
Cat - piss-taker. This is just an English denial of emotion. She obviously adores that cat, which is why she has to insult him.
When the world's in turmoil
Get yourself some worm oil
And slap it on your gargoyle
Face.
Derbyshire pronounced Darby'sch 😂
I live about 5 mins from Derby (pronounced Darby, also shire is mostly pronounced shuh😜) that junction is by the river & the car showrooms were warned that this could happen, gonna be an expensive insurance bill.
A piss taker or someone taking the piss is someone taking the mickey or “you’re having a laugh mate”.
Your videos have become a time of day to look forward to me so thank you & keep em coming!
I don't think he is familiar with either of those terms, "are you kidding me?" would be more familiar to him.
Someone from Birmingham is a mad Specials fan with Ghost Town. Love a bit of Ska
I live down the road from Derby, which is pronounced like Darby, like with an R sound for the e.
The River Derwent flows through the city, which flows down from the High Peaks of the Peak District National Park, when it rains it flows down the river and the city around the river becomes like one big bathtub.
I live next to Derby in Nottingham it's bad we have canals and rivers close by.no casualtys thank goodness ❤
That was one of Germanys main football teams Borrusia dortmund. That's the team bus playing away in England
you should react to any of the videos of british comedians on panel shows (any of them. would i lie to you or 8oo10cdcd or task master are current fave shows of mine)
its DARBY.. I'm safe thanks. Happens every few years aha, don't worry we'll be rate.
The trunk you didn't get. Was the musical horns
I know a million people have already told you, but it's said "Darby", even if it's spelt "Derby".
I'm sure there's a Map Men video about it somewhere.
Birmingham , my home town loll
Nottinghamshire derby
"Ghost Town" by The Specials !👻👻👻
The song is from The Office haha
It's alright mate I'm British and didn't understand half of them either
I’m English and also had trouble understanding that scouse clip.
are you secretly daily dose of internet because you really sound like him
No clue what the scousers were saying 😂
I wonder if he means Sahūr the 'pre-dawn meal' eaten during Ramadan (everybody looks like that in midsummer)
You would pronounce that Darby, and Darbysheer.
I know... insane, right?
All the counties ending shire are pronounced sheer - although "the Shire" like in the Hobbit, is actually said exactly like that!
"PIss-taker" the cat was taking the piss = taking liberties.
You can also take the piss out of someone which was more the description you got from Google.
I also do not know what was happening in the Scouse one.
except the ones prounounced "shuh"
Im a Brit and I didnt understand some of those either.
Darrr bee .. shire is also pronounced sha/shur :)
That wasn't scouse that was mumbling
man, I am from the UK but even I have a problem understand some of them dw about it ;)
Darby.
Shock an island can flood! Lol Americans
I think the South African one should have said “he’s” white not “his” white
get well soon, dUrbyshYre
please, if any place has "shire" in the name, its pronounce "sheer", not "shire"
but good video nonetheless
Derby is pronounced Darby.
Lovely good wishes for the people of Derby- but it's pronounced Darby.
That was a much better compilation (on the whole) than many I've seen, which are just not funny or interesting.
Scouser here,, she seems to be a local who everyone will know it’s a common thing on council estates,, she said “have you got a tenner to lend me” (ten pounds) he says “I’ve not had a penny for about 2 years I can’t even go for a pint” he then proceeds to throw his mate under the bus by saying “you know mark an Jodie around the corner? They won ten grand last night go knock now an say Darren said lend me a score” (twenty pounds),, mark an Jodie didn’t win anything he’s just sending the local idiot to knock around at their house an ask for money,, he’s winding her up!!!
Hi…😊
It’s pronounced Darby not durby
oh i see you still ripping on our accent , lovely. what's the point , couldn't imagine doing that every time i hear an American speak....low
czcams.com/video/fq2ArsiSdHo/video.html
HEREFORD MENTIONED, RAHHHH
"Little Person" is quite American. Brits usually use "dwarf", and "dwarfs" but never "dwarves".
Though "dwarves" is the correct plural of the noun.
When his publisher insisted on printing dwarfs in the Hobbit etc JRR Tolkien is supposed to have replied It''s Dwarves. I know because I write the dictionary
@@michaelprobert4014 Only in fantasy.
The last clip said it's like golf balls. They've just panned the window in (Glaswegian for broke). He then says who plays crazy golf in the effin rain anyway? The accent is strong but is from near me so I understood it. My accent isn't as thick as this as I live just outside Glasgow beside Loch Lomond.
As someone living in Derby, we're all fine here. The river Derwent which runs straight through the city burst its banks due to to rainfall, which is what you see in the clip. It only lasted a day amd was cleared quickly.
Also ita pronounced D-ar-bee. Not D-er-bee.
Hi…😊
