  • I mean, I've heard people say painting.

  • I don't usually say painting myself, nor have I ever been called painting.

  • I think it's attractive in some way, usually probably females.

  • But, you know, if someone said painting to me, I guess I say thank you all to part.

  • It's all gone wrong.

  • It's really bad.

  • Not very good at all.

  • Hot would be toilet in the sense of for a kid.

  • Maybe that's it.

  • Maybe it's all depart all to put the gun down the loo.

  • Meaning just like yeah, yeah, horrible.

  • It's just bringing dead like that one.

  • I think this one is caught me rhyming slang.

  • So a butcher's hook being a look.

  • So you like.

  • Take a butcher's at something if you're having a look at something.

  • Courtney Rhyming slang originated in London in the East End on Dhe.

  • This would be like the perfect example off have a butcher's hook, something that rhymes with hook, and you're replacing it with butcher's hook.

  • But then often what happens is the actual rhyming word itself ends up being dropped.

  • So then you're just left with have a butchers, and you're like, how is this cut your own slang, but it is, I promise jamming.

  • My dad uses this one a lot.

  • Your jammy You're in luck.

  • I would definitely use it in a football game at a soccer game like the attacker doing really well and it keeps going loads of goals.

  • Then you could say the defense is at sixes and sevens.

  • They're all over the place.

  • They don't know what they're doing on your bikes.

  • Get off with you, like, piss off, go away.

  • But again, in a jokey way, I think if you're actually angry with someone and having a really argument, you wouldn't end it by screaming at the top of your voice on your bike.

  • It's kind of like, Oh, come on.

  • Like, you know, Go away, mate.

  • Thank you very much for watching this.
