- I let ChatGPT choose the advanced vocabulary in this lesson although I did filter the results so that I only included words that we actually use and are useful in daily conversation. ChatGPT also provided the definitions. However, Ben from To The Point English was at hand to help explain the words with examples. Check out Ben's channel here @tothepointenglishwithben.

Thanks for having me on, Gideon. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My vote goes to Chat GPT! 😮
What are you doing here Ben? 😉
Thanks Ben. On the whole, your definitions where better than ChatGPT's. Some will suspect that you yourself are an AI Bot.
Were not WHERE. Greetings from Casablanca
My vote goes to you.
@@LetThemTalkTV If so, than he is The most charming version available 🥰
I'm 69yrs old. I knew and used ALL these words your discussing in junior high.
I loved reading the dictionary starting 3rd grade. ABSOLUTELY loved and aced vocabulary tests.
I find myself BEREFT over the lack of close friendships where you get together and actually visit.
As a person deeply involved in studying Tolkien's texts, I've got to say that the vast majority of the list has its place there: Gollum is naturally leering at hobbits, especially Sam, and Fёanor declares: "No other race shall oust us!", meaning mortal Men vs. High Elves)
What an excellent tandem today! Two of my favorite teachers sharing the screen again... You will never steal followers, in any case they will multiply after masterclasses like this! Great ending of the video, by the way... 🎆🎇 Hats off to both of you!
Yeah, they are masters! And not opponents for sure!
I think Chat GPT was correct in recommending use of "epistemology." We live in a time in which people living next door from one another are in completely separate "information bubbles." Consequently, I've become preoccupied with trying to figure out how it is that people determine what they believe is and isn't real. When someone expresses a belief about any current event that is contrary to my belief about the matter, I've started to ask them why it is they believe as they do. I'm almost always amazed at how diverse people are in how they reason. I think that differing epistemologies are the cause of people living in differing realities. Sorry for going off-topic and getting all serious, but I couldn't resist sharing. I enjoyed the discussion. Thanks.
epistemology is a separate field within philosophy and if such things have caught your interest you might read some philosophers who over ages specialised in this is narrow field. We even have subfields. At my unversity we had for example separate courses in "epistemology of love". Youmay also venture to learn about subfield of sociology, very prominent in US at certain point. It's called "ethnomethodology" and yes, it was an attempt to investigate how humans "negotiate the meaning of the term" to a such degree that at certain point they mean the same thing by using the same term. As for "information bubbles", yes, there is a research into social media regarding this and in essence it tells us that people inside information bubbles mostly interact with their imagined self-reflection and select out information confirming their pre-existing bias. So it should be called "anti-social media". Or "self-focused media". ;-) We also call it "balkanization of social media" since we know it breads social violent divides and conflicts, just like social tension in the Balkans region that at some point almost overnight triggered a violent war. And this is why social scientists who investigate such social media bubbles talk about "balkanization of social media" and "balkanization of modern day society".
@@agatastaniak7459 Especially love your comments on "anti-social media" and "imagined self-reflection." You have me also curious about the "balkanization" issue which I will search out additional information regarding. Thanks.
I consider both of you eminences in English teaching. You could certainly oust each other at being the best youtube English teachers. It was a real pleasure to watch. I've learned a lot and I am looking forward to another episode of you two together. You both gave good proof of a very fine sense of humour.
Guys, I love English CZcams videos, but never when they are longer than 10 to 15 minutes.
This is one is an exception!
Very very well done!
Don't hesitate to reiterate the experience :-)
And Gideon is really right: using Latin/Greek origin words as advanced voc is pretty useless for watchers whose first language is from Latin origin, so the chosen list is really "To The Point" ;-)
Thanks I'm glad to liked the (extremely long) video. Yes, there is no point in giving "advanced" words that are the same in English and most languages.
Thank you, Gideon and Ben! I think it was a great, fruitful collaboration! I've enriched my vocabulary thanks to your splendid dialogue!
Oh, I forgot Chat GPT, thanks to it too!
How I love these guys sense of humour 😂 They've got a different kind of humour each and great on their own, but fantastic when combined. Makes learning much more fun. And learn we do!
Very kind of you to say.
Nicely put. And variety is the spice of life isn't it 😊
get a room you two ! good to see our teachers having a good time
I'm not a native English speaker but last week I used the word "wistful" to good effect in a twitter dialogue. "Flabbergasted" is another word I like to use from time to time. 😁 @quiver: In German that word (second meaning) is called "Köcher" and we have the saying "noch einen Pfeil im Köcher haben" = "to have one more arrow in the quiver" when, for instance, you almost (but not quite) run out of arguments.
Interesting. I didn't know it came from German
It may not... They say Köcher.
Could it be French?
Quiver can informally be used in English to mean a set, where an owner would select from the set. For example, cyclists sometimes talk about their bikes as a 'quiver', where they have a specific bike for a specific purpose." I added a gravel racing bike to my quiver for my forest rides".
Ben - I admire your responses! Plus your sense of humour. It's kind of shy and always expressing the main idea in a delicate manner. Love it 😊
Thank you for such a pleasant guest, Gideon! Ben is a very polite, intelligent, modest and very kind person, it is felt in his every look, in every word.
I defo agree!
It’a such a pleasure to watch your videos, Gideon! And please keep the references to David Attenborough coming in, they’re hilarious!
You both are brilliant! Thanks for the outstanding content.
Thanks as you were both amusing and enlightening, a combo hard to beat. Much obliged
Thank you both💚
A thoroughly enjoyable video. Thank you!
Two dapper English teachers in the same video!!!
Is it Christmas?
I'm thrilled to see you both of my masters in English!! You are impressively amazing. Many thanks for all of your splendid videos. Cheers from Mexico!! 👋🏼🇲🇽
Brilliant teachers. So intelligent funny and generally likable.
Impressive. Well done, both of you! 🙂
I truly savored your video, my esteemed professors, especially for that unmistakable dash of quintessential British humor you embellished it with.

Yes, I know what you're thinking, and you're right. I did have a little help from ChatGPT in creating this comment. 🤣"
hahah, yeah, this comment is written quite poshly.
I had read these words before but as a non- native speaker I didn’t recall the meaning of about half of them. The dia-(tria-)logue helped me towards a more in-depth understanding of the use and what might be called the “word sphere” of these words. I took some notes:
to quiver: Quakers may have quivered
a tycoon: Scott Fitzgerald: "The last Tycoon"
luddites: Manual workers who destroyed upcoming engines for fear of losing their living and were executed by the British military. In German: "Maschinenstürmer".
Great video! Especially loved the game at the end 😂
You both are amazing!!! Love it🥰
In some cases, the difficult words are synonyms of easier words, eg. dearth/lack. A classic example is hate/loathe/detest/abhor/despise. The wealth of synonyms is partly caused by the collision of English, French, Norse and Latin.
Thank you so much! Very useful lesson 👍 ❤
I have already jotted down some of those words in my word list but you have added a few to them. Love you both teachers! Amazing! Greetings from Bogotá Colombia
Great, great, great. As a subscriber of both channels, I am very happy to watch you together
Thanks ❤❤❤
Oh thanks, in littature I already met the words to ransom and to quiver... we need words like that to read more in Engish... very helpfull for a french. Thanks
Thank you. 🙋🍀🍀🍀🇵🇱
You, teachers, are wonderful !!! Special jokes from you are really helpful in diving into English. I'd like to tell my thoughts about word "hapless". It is easily could be understood and remembered for beginners if we join two not advanced words together: "happy" and "less".
Thank you so much for this enriching collaboration!! Greetings from Argentina.
Thanks Gideon and Ben! Just a curiosity: what's that platinum record behind Ben?
I love you man.
Great to see the two of you together.
Can a Catch-22 situation be a quandary?
To have a foretaste of something... to relish?

Both of you were dapper and you drew
thanks. Very diplomatic
Interesting.. Even Ben has difficulties with some C1, C2 words. Overall, excellent lesson! Always learn new words in context. Will have that watched full but in small portions.
On the word bereft, there’s a sense that the thing that’s missing ought to be there. When you discussed the word Dearth it highlighted this aspect of bereft for me because dearth seems more straightforwardly a lack or absence of something, while bereft implies that there’s something concerning or wrong with the absence of a specific thing - perhaps this relates to the other way we use bereft when discussing the loss of a loved one
This is such a useful channel where you can learn advanced vocabularies and have fun at the same time.
Danke😊
On this time it is a draw I guess. You both were pretty good in the game)
Cette vidéo m'a donné le goût des mots en anglais.
I like a lot your courses. Thank you !
My problem that I don’t understand oral English without subtitles :-/
ChatGPT will never replace our favourite CZcamsrs 😉 this was another stellar video, thank you so much 😇 and you really spoilt us: nearly an hour 😍
"Rocky Tycoon" 😂😭 I’ll think of Ben everytime I’ll listen to this song for a good while!! Weirdly enough, Rocky Racoon has the name "Gideon" mentioned in it
Glad you like the video. Yes, I'm aware of the Gideon ('s bible) reference in the song. Nice one Paul.
The difference between human teacher and ChatGPT is that AI will throw at you at random all kinds of strange words whereas a living native speaker in the flesh will converse about what is relevant to you as a person and will respond to what natives would say in such a context. Language models do use entire lingustic corpus what does not mean that it's spoken register or even that it comes from a modern and common usage. Good rule of thumb? If ChatGPT suggest it but your human native speaker cannot define it off the top of their head , you probably do not have to try to memorize this word and might ask for something more useful instead.
I think epistemology is the most important discipline to know and study. I love it. Surprised it gave u the word 😮 hehe. Don't know why tho. Video is amazing thank you.
Quell has certainly softened over the centuries from "kill" to "diminish". It does still have the kill meaning for those with a historical understanding of English. For example, "to quell a riot" certainly leans to its more martial meaning, though the authorities and their lawyers (barristers? I'm American) might disagree.
Well, I use the word epistemology and ontology combined with some tautology from time to time.
Hello best teachers!! Here on this channel we are updated with the tools that can help, I'm going to play with ChatGPT, the words are really new, writing down each one of them in my notebook, Gideon you are more Advance than any app, amazing video, congratulations to the two teachers, come back here more!🤠🤓❤
We (ChatGPT and I) chose vocabulary that was advanced but useful. Ben explained things splendidly. I'm glad you liked the video
@@LetThemTalkTV I agree with you, Ben was amazing...
Ransack is indeed Norse. We still say rannsaka in Norway and Sweden, a word we find in the Edda and use in the exact same way still today.
"Att rannsaka sig själv" - "to ransack oneself", a healthy but not always comfortable self exam, is maybe the most frequent use of it today.
Fantastic! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time! Epistemology! House and book! Don't like it? Epistemology again!
You guys are really cool.
In my case is the other way around as I am a Let them talk subscriber😊
Aloof [45:55]. Socially distant with a connotation of superiority.
As a French person, To "oust" makes me think of the phrase "ouste !" which means "get out of here!" in French. My grandmother kept saying that when, for example, she wanted the cats to get out of the house or when she wanted to do the housework and wanted everybody to get out of the room she was going to clean. So, to "oust" seems even more easy to understand and remember for me. Do you think it could come from the French?
Hapless: In on of the Farseer books there appears a orphaned boy called Hap (short for hapless).
This is something new to me. I never knew there was such a thing as a an english language test...
Yeah you do get ask for one to join British university (if you aren’t British), to apply for a visa to live in the UK or to apply for British citizenship
If you're already living and studying in an English-speaking country-such as the UK, USA, Canada, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand-then I suppose it's not a big deal. Otherwise, let's say you're from a non-English-speaking country (such as India). If you want to move to an English-speaking country-for higher studies, work, or emigration-you'll most certainly have to pass an English language test. Examples of such tests are TOEFL, IELTS, CELPIP etc.
Hi guys. I m in the? 2 thirds and must say my retentjon wishes you d have started with the usage first and then followed with définitions. BTW I wish you d mention éd towards x untoward and I
knew the archer's quiver better than shiver since I played Adom. PS how the Ham came to West? Keep up the banter.
Luddite [41:56]. I associate the noun w someone willing to use violence to express his intense opposition to tech in general, or to a particular item.
Ah! The boys are back in town !
What a sensational pleasure !
I must watch this when I get to me gaff gaffers!
Not to be missed. It's a treat!
As EVER
Love UK accent
Gideon,you are my idol!
you're too kind.
I think bereft and bereaved are not exactly synonyms. Bereaved means suffering the loss of a loved one. Yes, bereft means "deprived of something", so it is used in a different context.
“you see me shiver with anticipation” (dr frank’n furter)
Thank you both for this intelligent banter, I would imagine the word "quandary" originally came from the direction to take the four compass points and it seems a little strange that we can use it to decide two choices. Just "sayin" :-)
Great- I was exposed to much of these words “in the wild” but never understood the nuances. Hapless, particularly.
Excellent video, though I think that if you do “loathe” it’s important to also do “loath” as so many people get the two confused. Obviously chat gpt did not agree.
40:32 I think I'll have to correct you on this one.
Technologies like knitting are not the least disliked by Luddites.
Technologies that replace manpower with machine power are.
The Luddites had a counterpart in France, the Jacquerie, which was more successful, for the moment, and where France to this day is more handicraft and small business friendly than England.

A list of the 10 words in a pinned comment would have well satisfied my curiosity. There's no way I'm going to spend an hour on 10 words I already know well.
44:07 distanct 🤣
Gideon, I think I know why your own viewers frequently vote against you. See, as the host, you choose the format of the competition. You know the material in advance. Your collaborator doesn't-to them, it's a surprise quiz. So your viewers-out of an inherent sense of fairness-discount your performance and award your collaborator a handicap. Now you could make it fair by bringing on a neutral third party to conduct the competition-with material that neither of you has seen before. At which point, it's no longer a friendly, low-budget podcast-we've moved into high production cost game show territory. What a quandary!
@LetThemTalk TV
Dear Gideon, dear Ben, with two great minds thinking alike, heaven is an anglistic ; )) place on earth. Strolling through this sidereal hour we couldn't be happier.

May thanks. I'm so pleased you liked it.

He quivered uncontrolably when he came face to face with a bear in forest and discovered there were no more arrows in his quiver.
Hello Gideon!
Erik here from Sweden. Just had to comment on "to ransack" ("att rannsaka" in Swedish (pronounced run with a rolling r + sark (silent r) + a short ah! 😊). In Swedish "rannsaka sig själv" (to ransack oneself) is often used, especially in Christendom. When you do this you dig deeply within yourself, soul-searching, to try to find out if you have behaved badly in some way. Often you have been criticised, and you are yourself unaware that you have been at fault.
Thanks for the insight. I'm not a complete newbie to Swedish but haven't known this one yet. Interesting.
Listeners are the winners
These are the most advanced words? I'm just a dumb American, but I already knew these words, and some of these I don't really consider to be advanced.
Plz, don't pick apart my English. My father was Sicilian, and his family mainly lived in bayou country in Louisiana, so they had Cajun accents. My mother came from West Virginia where a lot of olden English is still expressed. I grew up in the New Orleans area, and many outsiders find my accent sounds like that of a New Yorker.
I will say this. I find your channel quite interesting! Thank you!
I've really relished watching this video.
Yes Ben, it wasn't the other commuters you were wrestling with, it was the transport system itself, was it not?
Lived in London for over 20 years and nearly 30 years in the UK. Never heard "to eke out" being said ever. "Dearth" & "leer" are also rare. It feels to me that they would only be used by someone who'd want to show off or put a particular literary emphasis in their speach. I reckon C2 level is probably higher than the language of many native speakers. I've heard you saying in passing "West Ham is a bit of an undetdog". Good word - "underdog". Would it be also a C2 level?
People quiver but there voices quaver.
I guess, the word 'untoward' is also used in regard with a personality, and does have some negative hue in it
The place had been ransacked thoroughly if not expertly. Drawers stood out, their contents strewn on the floor; the bed had been stripped of clothing, ... Dashiell Hammett, Nightmare Town
Thanks for the quote. It certainly seems appropriate in a crime scene context
I am Czech and from several examples of translation to my language I understand the word loathe more like despise. Am I correct? Thank you.
Loathe means hate, as they said. Despise has the added meaning of feeling contempt.
Loathe is often used as "I absolutely loathe something" and it is much stronger than "despise". Loathe signals "I have aversion towards it", "I avoid it at all cost". Or " I feel repulsion towards it". And repulsion can even make you throw up, so "loathe" signals even a violent physical negative response to something.Whereas "despise" is more about moral judgement. It means very strongly that you morally or ethically disapprove it. That people who do it should meet with contempt. Compared to this "loathe" is a much stronger and more deeply rooted hatred towards people doing this. It's like you can say "I despise racists" and it's a moral judgement- it is wrong and I disapprove it. But when you say " I absolutely loathe racists" than you say "I feel deeply rooted hatred towards them/ I hate them guts/ I feel like throwing up whenever I see a racist". The word "racist" used as an example of any social phenomenon that humans may feel strongly about. Both "loathe" and "despise" can be used to refer to anything or anyone. So both to things and humans and other living creatures.
By the way, Gideon was the winner this time.
I thought quiver indicated a physical movement whereas someone's voice would quaver...

quell, dampen

I don't relish the thought is also quite common I think
This is Regarding your difficulty with making ChatGPT give you the specific answer you seeked.
While ChatGPT will have memory of what you asked before, it is not always the best at using that information and thus can turn into a loop like you experienced, if I am not getting exactly what I want I will make a completely new sentence and will list the things ChatGPT shouldn't do separated by commas. this is what I told ChatGPT:
"Make me a list of 20 advanced C1 and C2 words, do not include any latin and greek words, only give me Anglo-Saxon words."
And the result was this:
"Acquire
Belligerent
Circumspect
Defiant
Eloquent
Ferocious
Gracious
Hesitate
Indignant
Jovial
Keen
Lament
Melancholy
Noble
Obedient
Persevere
Quaint
Resilient
Serene
Tremendous"
Now I'm not sure if all these words are actually C1 or C2 level, and uppon asking ChatGPT about this it said that it can't be sure about this and a professional should be asked.
Grapple = wrangle?
I feel like untoward is somewhat contrary...
In a bowl, add the diced avocado, camembert cheese and boiled eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the crushed cornflakes and Oreo cookies in another bowl. Put a handful of the cornflake and Oreo mixture on a plate. Add the avocado, camembert cheese, and boiled egg mixture on top of the cornflake and Oreo mixture. Serve and enjoy!😋
