  • - Hi, we're Joel and Lia.

  • - And this video is British people

  • guessing Pennsylvania slang.

  • - So, we're back on the slang series.

  • We used to do lots of these.

  • Haven't done any for awhile.

  • - Back at it again.

  • - Back at it again with another slang video.

  • (chuckling)

  • - So this has been sent to us by a viewer called Nora.

  • - Yes.

  • - Thank you so much to anyone who's ever sent us lists

  • of words or phrases for us to guess.

  • - Yeah.

  • - They come in really really handy for this series.

  • - Oh definitely.

  • Nora sent us this email in August 2018,

  • so if you sent us an email and we haven't,

  • you know, done it,

  • it's not because we're not going to do it,

  • it's just because it's taking us awhile to get through them.

  • - Okay, so let's kick you off

  • with the first one, Joel.

  • - Yeah.

  • - So, the word, Buggy.

  • - Buggy.

  • I'm guessing it's not as simple,

  • in the UK, a buggy is what you push your child around in.

  • - Yeah. - That's a buggy.

  • - Yeah, it could be like a bogey.

  • - A bogey. - Like a bogey.

  • - Oh, I got a bogey.

  • - I got a bogey.

  • - I got a bogey just here.

  • - We call that a bogey, so it could be that.

  • - Yeah. I reckon a buggy is something,

  • like a golf cart.

  • Like a buggy.

  • - Oh, okay, golf buggy, golf buggy.

  • Let's see.

  • - Oh, shopping cart.

  • - Oh, it's a shopping cart.

  • We'd say shopping trolley.

  • - Yeah, we call it trolley.

  • - Yeah, get us a trolley.

  • - So, you take buggy instead of trolley.

  • - Oh, wow, that's weird. - That's cool.

  • - Is that because you can

  • put the kid in the front seat?

  • - Yeah, maybe.

  • - Like, put it in a buggy.

  • - Are there any others?

  • Do you say anything other than buggy, cart, or trolley?

  • - They don't say trolley.

  • - Yeah, they don't say trolley.

  • - Just us.

  • - Just us. Also, getting trollied

  • is something completely different.

  • - Oh, that's getting drunk. - Yeah.

  • - Yeah, that's one of our slang.

  • Okay, let's have the next one. - So, the next one, is fress.

  • So, the example she gave is

  • "stop fressing, you won't have room for dinner"

  • - Oh, it must be snacking,

  • then you won't have room for dinner.

  • - Yeah, well she said to eat

  • usually in large quantities, so maybe not snack, like fress,

  • - Oh, stop fressing.

  • - It's just to eat.

  • Like, yeah, I guess it is like constant snacking,

  • maybe then to fress.

  • Like ah I can't stop fressing.

  • - Stop fressing, you won't have room for dinner.

  • - But then she says--

  • - Why would you eat before you eat?

  • Unless you're Joel and Lia, we do that,

  • before we like go to like an event,

  • if we know there's going to be like, counter pays,

  • but like, let's just go and eat a meal somewhere,

  • otherwise we're going to be standing next to these

  • like food thingies all night.

  • - We want to look like we're not touching it,

  • and people go, "Oh, you're not eating much tonight"

  • and you're like, "yeah".

  • (laughter)

  • So, fress, some people will be like

  • I can't wait to fress tonight, to eat a lot.

  • - I fressed out.

  • - I fressed out.

  • - Why didn't you eat dinner?

  • Fressed out.

  • - Fressed.

  • - Fressed, you just say fressed.

  • - Okay, what's the next one?

  • - Grexy.

  • - Grexy?

  • I think it's when you're grumpy

  • but feeling sexy at the same time,

  • you're like ,"oh I'm so grexy"

  • - You're grumpy

  • - It's like when you're grumpy

  • but also feeling really sexy.

  • That weird feeling that you get maybe once a year.

  • - That's amazing, I wish it meant that.

  • Grexy! - I'm so grexy right now.

  • - Well, I've looked at like the next bit

  • where she types what it means,

  • if I hadn't have seen that,

  • I would say it means

  • grexy,

  • like Greek brexit.

  • I don't know why, I'm just like grexy.

  • It just keeps, like anything with an X

  • just reminds me of brexit, exit,

  • It means cranky.

  • - Cranky?

  • - So, it means the baby is grexy.

  • - So, half of mine is correct, grumpy

  • - No, oh yeah, grumpy, but not the baby,

  • and it's not sexy. - The baby is really grexy.

  • But it's not just for babies then, is it for everyone?

  • - Cranky? Yeah, it must be. I don't know if they

  • - Feeling grexy

  • - The example is obviously, the baby is grexy

  • - Ah, ignore her, she's being grexy.

  • - Grexy.

  • - Grexy.

  • Cool, that's a good one.

  • - Well, that's a new thing,

  • yeah we'll probably forget that by tomorrow, won't we, Joel?

  • - Yeah, probably.

  • In one ear, out the other.

  • But, we'll try to learn.

  • - Yeah.

  • - The next one is Brutzin.

  • - What?

  • - Brutzin.

  • - Does it mean when you're like

  • swanning around town shopping?

  • - Well the example is,

  • Quit your brutzin.

  • - Oh, okay. Does it mean complaining?

  • - Not really.

  • Well, it could be,

  • but it's not what she said.

  • - Okay.

  • - Well, I guess it is kind of complaining.

  • - One more guess.

  • Is it close to that?

  • - Yeah, very close.

  • - Quit your attitude?

  • - Yeah, I guess so, like they're all similar,

  • she's crying or fussing, so I guess you might say to a child

  • if they're crying or being annoying or if they're sad,

  • just be like, "Oh quit your brutzin".

  • Brutzin?

  • - Brutzin.

  • - Sounds like you saying breakfast.

  • Oh, I can't wait for my brutzin.

  • (laughter)

  • - I realize that's where I got it from this holiday

  • - Where?

  • - It's because your aunt can't say it either.

  • - Oh really? Breakfitz.

  • - Yeah, she says, breakfitz.

  • She says breakfast.

  • And I'm like, "you've given that to me".

  • - That's so funny.

  • - I'm like say it. She's like 'breakfitz'.

  • - Breakfitz.

  • - That's the wrong way.

  • - Yeah, you added an extra 't' in there.

  • - She can't say it. That's where I got it from,

  • her or my grandma.

  • - See, people be careful with your parenting.

  • You could end up with mistakes like this.

  • - Breakfitz.
