As an Aussie I feel confident saying the reason we only had 2 mediocre slang words is because all the good ones would get the video De-monetized. LOL

Break a Leg is from Shakespeare's time. It actually means to take a bow because of a great performance. To brake a leg meant to bend the knee as you bow.

Please do more videos with Christina, Lauren, and Grace! Perhaps add more from other English-speaking countries such as Canada, India, Nigeria, New Zealand, and Singapore!

Love our little series so much! Thank you everyone for your support 🥰❤️

Slang is so much fun to learn 😆 Enjoyed learning lots of new slang from Grace and Lauren! ❤

Break a leg. In German you can say "Hals- und Beinbruch" (break your neck and leg) to wish somebody luck.

Me, an Asian person that studied English with English, American, and australian teacher -> died from vocabs

Their all so pretty honestly

In Australia and Britain, it would "bad arse", of course.

Just to clarify for all our UK friends: when Christina and I were experimenting with “Nosh” phrases, this was before Lauren explained the OTHER meanings of the word 😬😳🙈🤣😅 Loved filming with ma boos! - Grace 🇦🇺

The "break a leg" is also kind of used in german as : "Hals und Beinbruch". Yes we are way more extreme. We break our necks for performance.

"Break a leg" in American vernacular came from stage plays and theatre. It's always been considered bad luck to wish someone good luck or anything positive before a stage performance. Therefore, the opposite is said, as in "I hope you break you leg.", and that's understood to mean the opposite, as in "Do well." James Gordon Bennett was an American publisher and journalist. He started the New York Herald and helped shape American news journalism as we know it today.

I giggled a bit at some of the slang that the Aussie didn't know. Definitely a function of age! Dishy and break a leg used to be part of Aussie slang, but they were a bit old-fashioned when I was at school back in the 80s, so I doubt that many ppl under 35-40 would know them. Glad she included devo for devastated though - one of the many words we shorten and end with an 'o'!

As a Brit, I didn’t know any of the British slang lmao

I'm Australian, I honestly don't know how she doesn't know many of these slangs. We use practically all the American one's so often but I've never heard the British ones.

Christina looks like an anime princess from the Middle Ages

They say “break a leg” because they hope you end up in the cast. Like for a show or movie or whatever.

I have never heard anyone use "crack on" as to flirt with someone haha! That is a new one to me! Crack on is to get on with something, continue to work on a task or you bump into someone in the street and you have been small talking with them for too long and use it as an excuse to leave. "I best crack on."

Wanna see more of these three, especially Christina from USA!

The slang terms discussion was great fun! They should have explained to the Australian girl that Dope had a wider meaning of describing illegal drugs, and like Sick, it only recently had a positive meaning spin. Bae came from a shortening of baby, and also BAE (Before Anyone Else). Badass was another term that went from bad to good. The person was literally a Bad..Ass, meaning intimidating and mean. But then it turned into describing someone who was determined, and not to be messed with, in a strong and positive way. Break a leg came from theater where people were superstitious and thought that wishing someone success would jinx them, so they said the opposite. Gordon Bennett was a controversial writer in the 1800s who pushed social convention and got rich, and his son James Gordon Bennett Jr. was wild and extravagant, spending his fortune with an outrageous lifestyle. The "Life of Riley" is a similar slang term. I remember Codswollop from Harry Potter. A Dish was the term for a pretty girl from the 1920s forward, like a special treat or dessert dish. I had always heard nosh, like to chow down on tasty food. Years ago we had Devo, meaning de-evolution, like the punk band. This would also be a fun show to do with people from non-English speaking countries, where they no doubt have slang terms that we couldn't easily guess their meaning.

I was told to say, “break a leg” so I wouldn’t jinx their performance

This series is AMAZING, you LADIES are doing fantastic, LOVE LAUREN FROM THE UK 🇬🇧

I’ve been binging these videos, and there are some really awesome talents/cast members. All have been super entertaining

In Australia I use the word crack off when I’m describing someone farting 😂🤣😅

I've just fallen in love with the Aussie girl.

i love you Christina，YOU’RE THE BEST

thanks alot for good clips you made,also am very pleased from christina for her hint one and at whole tribute from all of you dears and am waiting your next clips

In France, badass is also used, for fictional characters, like in movies, anime etc. "this character is badass" means that he's powerful, with a lot of charisma

I'm sure this has been said in the comments previously, but "nosh" is Yiddish. Just like many other Yiddish words it has made it's way into common slang use. It's found it's way into many languages as well. It means food like snacks, anything not a main meal. It's usually something served at a social gathering.

Dishy kinda makes sense. In older American English (I think 1930s-50s) there was a phrase like "Oh, ain't she a dish?" Or "She's quite a dish!" Usually men used it to describe a hot woman. I feel like I've heard it a lot in black and white movies

i need more videos with these three, i love them 😭

This trio is good and have respect for each other. They make me subscribe and sure I will watch all the videos.

Love these videos ❤️

I love these series. In my country (Poland) we use some of these slang words/phrases too! Like "break your leg" = połamania nóg ;)

Badass finally understood this word. It uses everywhere but can’t found it meaning accurately thank you a lot!

That Gordon Bennett one got me so curious I actually had to look it up. Apparently it is based off someone from late 1800s to early 1900s. "Gordon Bennett!" is an expression of incredulity which alludes to the outrageous behaviour of the American sportsman, publisher and all-round hell-raiser James Gordon Bennett Jr.

These videos are the best 😊

Waiting for the Aussie girl to drop the c bomb. “We use this for pretty much everything”

Nosh is a Yiddish origin word that came into English and is used in America too. I don't know if I would call it British slang. Maybe I'm just being a schmuck though. :P

Gordon Bennett was a flamboyant personality in the late 19th-, early 20th-centuries. He excelled at polo, tennis, and yachting.

Love videos like this! I will say that a lot of US slang that’s gone viral on the media and internet come from Black and (African American Vernacular English/Ebonics) and queer communities. Examples of these are dope, bet, drip, queen, lit, fam, boo, bae, shook, slay, and more.

In the US one definition of dish is an attractive person. It is pretty old slang--Probably from the 1920's.

Grace's Break a leg break a leg... had me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

such a lit collab, gurls got swag, dat's such a glow up, hope I don't get cancelled.

love Christina, she's so sweet

Grace is just a sweetheart ♥️

The trio is charming to watch.

Yay Christina back

The saying "Break a leg" came from the idea that if an actor is about to go on stage and you tell them good luck, that might jinx them so instead you say something purposefully malicious sounding to not jinx them. It's kind of like an inside joke that just became a common saying now that I think about it.

Codswallup is used in Australia. I find that often the younger generation under 40 have become Americanised whereas those of us over 40 have many more words we use that are more British.

I've never learned these words, thanks for sharing.

Middle teacher’s expression looks so cute. Thanks for making videos for us who are watching from Bangladesh.

I love exploring cultural differences. All human, all unique 🤗

Initially I think people would say “break a leg” because they wanted the person to be cast.

Can you please make these three amazing girls fixed casts or smh?🥺🥺🥺🤧hihihi gaahh love them three soo mucchhh ❤❤ You're doing a great job, guys!❤

These 3 just bounce off each other so well :D

2:38 you're right, I heard "Boo" in that song called Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland: 🎵🎵even when i'm with my boo, you know i'm crazy over you🎵🎵

I could be wrong but Gordon Bennet is the less blasphemous form of goddamit. It’s like what the heck, Oh my gosh, geez, for pete’s sake and gosh darn it

Nosh is Yiddish, and used in the US quite a bit (mostly around New York).

As an Australian I have never heard 'Crack off' used as slang term.

Break a leg come from “do it extremely until your leg is broken” and then make it short break a leg.

The history of break a leg starts in the theater where it was bad luck to wish good luck to actors before they went on stage

Dish or Dishy has been used to describe girls too..probably longer than Lauren imagines..the word was used in the film 'Titanic' 1997..in the first 15 minutes..by Rose Dawson Calvert character..the old lady survivor..describing her teenage self in 1912.."Wasn't i a Dish?" she says..

Grace is so cheerful and funny. 😀 I like her.

Lauren is just like their mother sitting there in the middle .. Just like how things used to be 😉

"Break a leg" is such a fun idiom that many English learners love it!

i love Grace! she is so pretty!! ♥

I love this trio.

“Break a leg” is a phrase that is typically used before a performance as a way to wish someone good luck. In theater, the actors are typically superstitious so in order to not jinx themselves or someone else they say “break a leg” instead of something positive.

Why do I feel like I'm in love with an Australian girl even tho I'm straight? 😂 She's so pretty!

This video is fun especially the specific question that need answer and those are important to answer the question.🤣

Christina, Lauren, and Grace are the most iconic trio!🤪🤩🤣😅😃

People say “break a leg” because if you do, you’ll get put in the “cast”

"Break a leg" - we have sth. similar in German to wish luck: "Hals- und Beinbruch" meaning "neck and leg break". But it came from Yiddish and was just the wrong German sound comprehension of "hatslokhe un brokhe" ("Luck and blessing"). The meaning though is right: I wish you luck.

Im in south eastern England and we use ‘break a leg’ because when I left for school on the day of my 11+ test, my mom shouted break a leg I also use ‘crack on’ but it means hurry up

-ass is just an intensifier, but sometimes changes the meaning. "Did you see that big-ass dog?!" (= huge, enormous) "That was one stupid-ass movie" (= incredibly dumb) You can use bad-ass as a noun: "She is a TOTAL badass" (that is definitely a compliment; you're saying she's incredibly cool and brave)

Codswallop is kinda like how some people in the US tend to say “hogwash,” I guess. I don't know if everyone says it, but it's fairly common here in the South

never heard the uk ones and i live in the uk 😭 i only have heard of one which is nosh but never knew what it meant. i’ve heard a few american ones tho

I'm from America and we used nosh in my high school, but we always meant it as "to eat". So you could say we were noshing on some nosh. :)

Looked up “Gordon Bennett”. Seems he was a wealthy, accomplished man who had a controversial reputation. He also headed an ill fated sailing expedition to the North Pole. Sad story. It really never said the exact etymology of the phrase as used today.

Pretty sympathic girls. :) I wanna see more of them.

Perhaps it’s a generational thing; I’m Aussie and I knew all those British slang terms. Gordon Bennet I learned from Red Dwarf but all the others are terms that were used here when I was younger (I’m in my 40s)

Dishy is really old and nice sounding slang, I remember it from some Sinatra tune😎

Hi Grace, I love your smile!

Loving this cultural videos!!! Thank you, when are the Latinos going be represented 😉 🦋🇩🇴💞

the three girls are so nice

There’s a bunch more for US that are area specific, like good food smacks, while good music slaps, crib for house, fine is pretty, stuff like that

Dishy (someone sexy or attractive). Lauren you had the point!!!! I love U.K!!!!!!!!! (Uganda)

In ballet we would say “Break an eyelash”

All three of you are DOPE!! And I'm not even a SIMP...

lol Christina from the US reminds me of an actress on the Lucifer tv series, Lauren German...

I would love to see some aave slang or midwest/southern slang being used :))

so i've just learnt that when you're hiding and trying to scare someone you would say "boo" in English, in Vietnamese we would say "hoo" with a falling tone, quite similar, i just wonder how people from other countries say it

I dont even know who's more beautiful now!!!! All of them look like a gathering of Angels!!!

I've never been around anyone who's ever said boo or bae. But bad-ass has also been related to farting... as in Joe has some real bad-ass. or Joe rip'd one, or joe cut the cheese, or joe had a slow gas leak. Break a leg was ... a long while back, or said often around the theater department i use to work in. but other than those cases i've never heard people say that after say 1999 ish. because i really don't want anyone to get hurt i avoid saying anything like that. it would just be really horrible to say it and someone actually have gotten hurt after words. these really are fun videos.

codswallop! Haha I like that. My new favourite British word. After minging. This was gorgeous 😁 Codswallop sounds like Kuddelmuddel in German. (I found out, it it means beating a cod. Useless, right 😆)

I don't know why but I'm French and I already knew all the american words in this video ! (However, I didn't know any words from the UK and Australia x) )

I read somewhere that people say 'break a leg' when auditioning or performing so that they will be put in the Cast. And that's honestly so cool

break a leg is an ironic term also used in suppositious situations where people think deliberately asking for something good will instead give you a bad outcome for being like greedy.

Please, guys support her. Because this channel is very helpful
