dory is a boat

What does it mean when you use the word “ salty “ ?

"Manky" is a favorite of mine

Honky Dory is used in the US too

Dodgy and Hunky-Dory are common in the USA.

Dodgy means sketchy

I live in S.W. Michian USA and I Grew up with these words No confusion here ! at 75 yrs old... THe is B.S>

like dodgy mascara

Please please ...there is ENGLISH and others! We don't say French French or Spanish. Spanish (but we do say Canadian French etc) so stop saying British English its English...we invented it.

Ok not a special Anglophile but I use several of these words and understand all of them. There are a lot more difficult words and phrases Americans would not get. “Do his nut” was my favorite for a while. Found it in the British version of Harry Potter - the scholastic version dumbed it down to “go ballistic.” Such a loss!

From the US and know and have used all of them

I’m an American in the South and growing up we heard the word hunky dory. I don’t know if other parts of the country did. I also am familiar with skint. The others I know because I’ve watched a good bit of British programming.🙂

Dodgy.... Most politicians. Gutted... The UK legal voters after an election!

They'd be better off having a butchers hook at Cockney Slang, Get those lil yankee boat races smiling strong from their North and Souths... Okay the solution Butchers Hook = look Boat race = Face North and South = Mouth Rosy Lee = Tea. And'if yer wan more , Go to bloody London.

This girl is a fount of ,eh , knowledge...she'll do well

Numpty 😂

It was chuch-a-block on the road

Great words, but this American knows them all.

Btw, I've heard that the U.S. southern drawl accent is actually the closest to a true English accent if it were spoken at a faster cadence. True or False?

👏👏👏

American here... Dodgy and Hunk-dory have been used around here forever. Although, we tend to use Sketchy instead of Dodgy. Gutted and Skint I've heard on very rare occasion--mostly by people from up north. Snog? Never heard it.

What a bostin scream!! Get up Yer own end! Give us a rock Borrow us yer pencil There's loads different areas of UK, above are birmingham phrases

all slang words used in Australia except Snog

As an American I knew all but one.

Cheers means thankyou, and cheerio means goodbye. Neither mean hello!

snog??? that was different

That's not what I heard "snog" means.

skint is the only one new to the US. Thanks to Harry Potter, snogging is well known. Hunky Dory and Dodgy have been well-known since at least the 50's

Americans use all these words except "snog" all the time.

💚💚💚

Youre a norther lass

Born in the eastern end of Surrey in the early 60s, all of these were familiar, except of course, Mork and Mindy, a recent addition. Number 7 I always knew as your trouble and strife. "How's the trouble been?" Other widely used ones back in the day were Whistle & Flute, Frog & Toad an Ball and Chalk. Just poppin' on me whistle, and goin' for a ball down the frog. To the rubbedy for a pigs of course.

2 out of 5 were normal in NYC.

Dell boy it brings fools and horses too light

Bollocks.

The brits are dodgy, did I use that right?

Did you say “somethink”???

A hunky dory is a Ukrainian boat

I like it. Good idea to replace too “nice” phrases with more normal ones.

Hunky Dory is very much, or was very much, used in American English. In fact, it appears the term comes from New York street slang

Great effort Leila

Can’t believe as a Irishman I’m watching a reaction of how great the Dublin accent is I wanna dive headfirst into a shuck.

Thank you Leila! 👌👍 ❤

Really interesting video, thank you!

These expressions are not honesr

Goodness are you are beautiful wow

Should give tips for getting rid of a scouse accent, not getting one.

Lol. Hunky-dory is an Americanism that caught on in Britain.

Here’s a Scottish slang word: Coupon is a Glaswegian term for a face.
