A Toff is slang for a person who is an upperclass snob. Back in the day Toffs would be a well dressed Gentlemen who would be wearing a Top Hat and carrying a Kane.

He steeped the tea almost 2 minutes longer than I would, I'm a wafter rather than a steeper. We enjoy our tea in many varied ways. We even sometimes have colour charts in workplaces to see how people like it.

I'm a 46 year old Brit and I've never heard anyone say Pied Off. Although, I'm not one of those weird southerners.

Please don't look up the phrase "teabagging". You've been warned lol. 😇🇬🇧🇺🇸💜

Im British and Ive never heard 'pied off'.

A 'Toff' is a very posh person. It's one of those words which isn't considered rude, but is used to emphasize your disdain.

I recently travelled around Italy with 40 Americans. I was the only Brit. They wanted to know how British people speak so I taught them very useful phrases that will help when they visit. Aye up mi duk = hello Arr ya didlin = how are you Fai ta mod = OK Wan sum scran? = are you hungry Wayers bog? = where is the bathroom By the time we parted they were fluent in Derbyshire. I hope they found it useful in London 😂

A good video. I'm not sure why he used a teapot but still made the tea in the cup.....

I love Jack Whitehall he is so funny love watching him with his dad as well

Not the way my Gran taught me to make tea, and its milk 1st. Grandad liked his black and referred to it a Somme Water. Shows you how old I am. Warm the Teapot, flush, add fresh hot water, add the tea, loose or bag your choice allow to mask/steep. Add milk to cup, just a tot, pour tea, use a filter sieve if loose. Add extra milk if required, the more milk the weaker the tea taste. Ideal colour a dark tan.

BOB'S YOUR UNCLE - the origins are uncertain, but a common theory is that the expression arose after Conservative Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury ("Bob") appointed his nephew Arthur Balfour as Chief Secretary for Ireland in 1887, an act of nepotism, which was apparently both surprising and unpopular. Whatever other qualifications Balfour might have had, "Bob's your uncle" was seen as the conclusive one.

'Toff' is a slang term for someone of the upper class, usually the kind of person who inherits an estate.

Good video, very good funny Jack I have never heard of "Pied off" either. I am 39 Southerner.

I like Jack Whitehall very much - his portrayal of a (not very good) young teacher in the comedy 'Bad Education' was a real scream.

Builders tea is extremely strong and sweet tea. As if it's been stewing in a thermos flask for hours...

A toff is someone very posh , when are you coming over here to live.❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

I’ve been a huge Jack Whitehall fan for a really long time. I got my husband hooked on him watching Travels with my Father on Netflix.

This bloke is accurate' Toffs is a slang word for wealthy people! Pissed on of the slang word for being drunk in the common tongue.... Great Caption..

Jack is great and you should check out A League of Their Own, in which he appeared with Jamie Redknapp (footballer) and Andrew Flintoff (cricketer). They even did a US road trip!

Pied off is an attempt to replace the far more popular pissed-off in social engineering...

I love cockles, likewise proper black pudding; its essential to like them before you know what you are eating.

Hello Ethan and Angela. Very British and amusing and interesting to see your reaction, with you having been here. He pointed out that there is not just one type of British person, which can come as news to those elsewhere. The unifying thing is generally tea, which he also covered, though I feel this opinion may be because I am from Yorkshire. I do enjoy gravy, so he got that almost right, except for things better accompanied by mushy peas with vinegar and mint sauce.

Ah poor Jack it's boiling water not boiled.

Sarah Millican said she's not a Geordie, she's a Sandancer, from South Shields.

Can’t help but notice the room you are filming this in. Is looking more and more British every day 😂 😊

Peaky blinders was a big hit here shown on the BBC , looking forward to the movie to see what Tommy does next .

The "Milk first" rule only applies when you are pouring hot tea into a bone china tea cup and likewise, the purpose of "warming the pot" all serve to prevent a bone china tea set potentially cracking from the sudden shock of boiling water pured into cold tableware. Builder's Tea is made in the mug; boiling water straight onto a teabag, preferably the punchy "Yorkshire Tea" brand. Squeeze the bag in the cup with a teaspoon until the brew looks about right, Only add milk after you're satisfied the tea has brewed and you've removed the bag. Two teaspoons of sugar into this brew complies as "NATO standard". Pouring the milk in with the teabag first ensures the milky fluid you end up with will never be hot enough to get any depth of flavour out your tea.

Yikes, it must've been a while since I saw Jack Whitehall. I remember him looking about 20

Just a slight correction: Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders' name is Pronounced Kee-lee-an 😊

Bob's your uncle. Automatic. No effort. From prime minister Robert Walpole who gave his unqualified nephew a lucrative govt job.

I have seen people stir the tea Anti-clockwise. Heathens.

I rarely say "Bob's your uncle" but "Job's a good 'un" frequently serves in it's place.

No. You make tea in a teapot, not the cup. Freshly boiling water and brew for 4 minutes (in the pot) before pouring the brew onto milk in a teacup.

Any word conververted to a past tense verb can be used to mean drunk. Bob refers to a real Robert - Peel a prime minister. Sarah Millican is a Sand Dancer, which iß Geordie to the uninitiated.

NO !!! You pour ^boiling^ water on the tea leaves or tea bags in the tea pot, and steep there. You put milk in the cup first, then pour in the tea. If you pour milk into hot tea it gets scalded and spoilt.

Cockles are eaten much wider than London. Most east coast places sell them. Personally i prefer pickled mussels..

Jack Whitehall went to a very expensive public school where I live. He tells a lot of stories about this area and his review of Swindon is so spot on!!!!

The lower classes use teabags we people with a sense of occasion, when drinking this after we had showered or bathed , shaved and brushed our teeth then drink tea with smoked kippers is a fish, then boiled eggs with asparagus or toast maybe back bacon never streaky bacon in which you Americans eat over done and burnt and Irish pork sausages unless we have a local farm that makes it's own sausages then with scrumble eggs placed in a pan with butter that pan must start from cold then you bring the heat up on a slow heat eggs and by bringing into the centre of the pan and moving all the time soft eggs . Has for builders tea, that's teabags and I myself have had it and it's nice,I I'm used to loose tea and it must be strong one or two sugars are the norm. But for use it's loose tea breakfast tea or earl grey these tea's can be eaten with cakes and sandwiches in the afternoon and evening or with breakfast meals . Boiling hot water poured into a teapot left for two minutes stirring twice before pouring this tea into a fine china cup then add milk full fat, milk, then if you take sugar or sugar free sweeteners then add these until your hearts content, pass this brew to guesses or have your butler or housemaid serve you. A continental breakfast may include cornflakes, bread rolls and jam or marmalade there are some superb different jam's and marmalades, peach,raspberry, strawberry, plum, damson, blackberry, mulberry jam's, lemon and lime, pear and damson, loganberry and orange marmalade all different all unique in favour and taste. Other breakfast foods are tinned tomatoes on buttered toast the same with eggs on toast and mushrooms on toast until you try it don't knock it or with a full English this is where it gets a little bit devisive black pudding or blood sausage some people just don't like it I'm one of them, but put on the plate, people eat it tinned tomatoes or fried tomatoes, the juice it's fantastic you mop up the juice from tomatoes with buttered toast or bread. Then the last thing is do rich or affluent person's does is eat fried bread it's a must with it buttered both sides and fried and with a second cup of tea. My father didn't like tea at all through his life he drunk something called coffea black the tiniest bit of sugar even in the service that's the army being a gentleman serving in the armed forces his batman would serve coffea to him every time, when at luncheon or in the field or officers mess service with other officers in rank to follow with dress code uniforms seating arrangement are senior officer then the ranks in lower order and sitting inbetween the officers ladies not wife's, all officers wife's are referred to as lady and common soldiers had the misses or the wife and we come back to tea, please try loose tea it's ten times better Love mum

Great reaction, Jack is brilliant 😀

It a teabag is involved, it's not tea. Might need a Malteser or two, but it's not tea.

When I came to the UK with my parents from South Africa in 1962, we stayed for a while with my mother's parents in Barking. They were very much Cockney, so I had a problem understanding them at first. It was a 'treat' every Sunday to buy fresh steamed cockles (as well as whelks) from a chap with a barrow down the high street. At the table, we were each given a pin to remove the 'cap' on each cockle and extrude the little chewy sea-tasting creature inside. These were served with thin slices of bread and margarine. This was so exotic to me. Recently, in my local supermarket, I discovered with delight a jar of cockles and discovered to my dismay how terrible they were, gristly and saturated with salt. Can people still buy fresh cockles nowadays? Robert, uk.

trolleys have wonky wheels and want to go off in a different direction...hense why trollied is a euphemism for being drunk.

You guys are the most wholesome lovely people. Never stop being you.

Bob's Your Uncle has nothing to do with difficulty, it's all about the completion of something.. and Bob's Your Uncle - you're finished...

Thanks for your reaction. ... ahum, I thought it was pretty average but perhaps better than I expected from him. I do sometimes like his standup and but also less keep on his acting. I think the information supplied suffered a little from some lame jokes, but he did OK with accents and was suitably humble about any weaknesses there. Peaky Blinders is VERY popular here. It's incredibly well written, produced and the acting is great. Pretty brutal. Did you know it is based on a real gang from the late 1900s who 'ruled' Birmingham. They were called the Blinders because they sewed razors into their cap brims and used them to blind their opponents. Many were young boys in their mid-teens. I think they were eventually obliterated by another gang. Violent times.

Peaky Blinders is very popular in UK because it is a UK made show

Accents: - "Isn't sir Ian McKellen, Geordie?" 11:09 - "I think that's her name, yeah.."

Jack got the tea horribly wrong, but he's right that nut juice does not work in tea.

You guys have to do a reaction video to the festival of remembrance 2023. I’m a grown man and I was in tears.

A famous Geordie is Brian Johnson from AC/DC

Cockles are like eating salty boogers. TWININGS is pronounced TWY NINGS. You can put a slice of lemon in some teas such as EARL GREY or LADY GREY. But no milk. A TOFF, short for toffee nosed, is a very posh person. A bit like Jack. Upper class.

Tea needs be Yorkshire Tea or a similar quality brand. There is no ceremony or china cup required.

He's English. Very few things are British, mostly just passports. We all come from one of the countries contained within Britain, making us all very different.

Jack did a program with his father, Who do you think you are? A program that takes various celebrities and looks at their ancestry, if you can find it on line (do a websearch) - its very interesting and surprising. One ancestor was not a very pleasant person, and was Welsh.

Cockney is one of many London accents. Most people referring to a London accent mean South London, which is not close to Cockney.

Cockney is a London accent, but there are different London accents and someone in the East End sounds different to someone from Tottenham, who sounds different to someone from Chelsea!

Lovely video. Peaky blinders man's name is pronounced Kill-ian

1:07 *Condé Nast Traveler* - An American magazine which has no idea about the Geography of the UK, just like the Ukrainian channel *Leaning Canteen.* I've only read a few articles from *Condé Nast Traveler* over the years, but they're full of misinformation, even the last ones I read which were written by a Brit about filming locations. 1:20 and 1:24 Completely false statements, as we have the best chefs in the world, most of which have visited my city for one specific reason - *Curry.* 7:47 I used to have around 10 pairs of socks, which all contained a different word for drunk, along a picture of things they were inspired by. They included *Trollied* (Trolley), *Ratted* (Rat), *Hammered* (Hammer), *Wrecked* (Shipwreck), *Mashed* (Mashed Potato), *Badgered* (Badger), *Steaming* (Steam Train) etc 10:45 A sentence taken from *Jimmy Carr.* 11:10 No, *Sarah Millican* is not a *Geordie.* She's a *Sand Dancer.* *Geordie's* are from *Newcastle-upon-Tyne,* whereas *Sand Dancers* are from *South Shields.* There's also *Mackems* from *Sunderland,* *Pitmatics* from *Northumberland/County Durham,* and *Smoggies* from *Middlesbrough* (Bob Mortimer land) among others, which all sound similar to *Geordie* but are not the same. 12:24 *Yorkshire* isn't really known for mining, albeit with have done a lot in our history. *Bradford* and *West Yorkshire* in general is known for *Wool.* *Sheffield* is known for *Steel.* *Wakefield* is known for *Coal.* The stone used to build *Manchester Town Hall* and *Bradford City Hall* was mined in *Bolton Woods Quarry* in *Bradford.* 12:27 *Gravy* on everything is more of a *Lancashire* thing than a *Yorkshire* thing. 12:32 *Duck* is used in *South Yorkshire,* however it's mainly used in the counties which surround *Yorkshire* to the East and South like *Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire* and *Derbyshire* the county where it originates. 15:00 *Peaky Blinders* got below average viewing figures until series 5, when *Award Ceremonies which are Picked by the Industry* decided to give it some awards, and *Netflix* started distributing and claiming credit for it outside the UK. However even then the increase in viewing figures wasn't that great, as it still only got a maximum of 5.87 million viewers on average for series 5, yet 7 million is the average for our most popular shows. It's a massively overrated 9/10 show, which was close to being an 8/10 as series 3 and series 6 weren't that good. Also nothing is filmed in *Birmingham* or *London.* Most of the show is filmed in *Bradford* (and *Yorkshire* in general) the world's first *UNESCO City of Film,* contrary to what most people believe. The streets are mainly in *Dudley* and *Liverpool.* The houses are mainly in *Liverpool, Knutsford* and *Port Sunlight.* Their workplaces are mainly in *Leeds, Manchester* and *Bradford.* And things like the prison, hospital, dry cleaners/brothel, hotels, port, cemetery, park, railway station etc are in *Bradford.* Other areas of *Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Derbyshire, Cheshire, North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire* and the *West Midlands* are also used, but as I said, it's mainly indoor locations in *Bradford.* 15:41 *Swindon* is a *town,* not a *city.* The clue is in the name of it's football team - *Swindon Town.*

🇬🇧 Never heard of ‘pied off’. Bob’s your uncle. Fanny’s your aunt - easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy.

When making my wife's tea I let the teabag 'infuse' for a couple or three minutes.

To be British is to get drunk every weekend have fish and chips on a Friday and keep talking about the weather my late mother use to say you have the cheek of the ladd a old Nottinghamshire saying

No one in my family has ever made a cup of tea like that ! Mind you - we're from the East end of London - maybe it's a class thing !

Yea, but you two have been to various parts of England (including York where I live) and you know that there are a multiplicity of accents within the county of Yorkshire alone! The York accent is dying out now and being replaced by a more generic accent more akin to West Yorkshire (Leeds and so on): but my wife used to call people from Sheffield 'southerners' 🙂

yay he did Yorkshire. Also watched any thing with Sean Bean in it he has a Sheffield Yorkshire accent. O cool you start watching Peaky Blinders. A toff is a slang word for posh upper -class people. Hopes this helps. 😊

A Toff is slang/ a derogatory term for rich, upper class people!

Most of us know what a phrase means and use that phrase but may not know where it comes from

No one in their right mind drinks Liptons in the British Isles or Ireland. Pour off-the-boil water onto a milk sodden Liptons "tea" bag to achieve the abominable bilge that the rest of the world tries to pass off as English tea - No wonderJack travels with his own teabags.

Bob's your uncle ,Easy ,It's from a british prime minister named ,I forget ,who was more oir less handed his position by his uncle A british prime minister ,There that was easy!!!

The first time I bought tea in Germany, it tasted like Antiseptic liquid (Dettol), after one sip it was only used as an endurance/joke test

Amazing that it's about Britain but he only does English accents.

He ruined that candy for you ??? I would have thought it was more motivational in certain aspects instead hehehehehehe

I don't know why he thought he was an expert on making tea. You warm the teapot then put the tea in the teapot then add the boiling water. Pour your tea from the pot into the cup. Heathen.

Tea made in a cup tastes nothing like one being made in a tea pot! The way he made it was total crap!!........Put tea bag, or loose tea into a warmed pot, then pour on "BOILING WATER"....definitely not just "HOT" water.....and leave for at least 3 to 4 minutes, a quick stir, and off ya go!....Milk/Sugar to your own taste!

Ian McKellan is from Yorkshire. NOT a geordie

His accents are being dubbed in!

Find his who do you think you are episode. Entertaining.

Wow. Jack Whitehall doesn't know where any of the phrases come from. That's crazy, he got almost every one wrong.

It's a bit of shame that the title of the original video is "...teaches you how to be British", but then at 1:12 it literally says "Going to England", and the rest of the video is just about how it is being English and exclusively about English accents. I actually found Jack Whitehall extremely funny in this, but it *is* a bit annoying when Americans equate "British" with a posh Englishman. -They can be lovely, but they are not representative of the whole country!

Peaky blinders is massive

I didn't watch Peaky Blinders until 2019 because I live in The Netherlands and literally 90% of people would talk about it to me because of my British accent.. it's a great show

Haha, Scouse does not sound Scottish.

Pretty sure 'duck' and 'me duck' is more Nottinghamshire than Yorkshire... open to being corrected on that one.

Maltesers are delish deloo but for an American maybe not sugary enough. We know you like very high sugar sweeties over there...

Where was the west country?

Shark is acually really tasty

No no no no no no

MILK IN FIRST

Disappointed in Jack joining in on the tired, cheap and totally baseless joke about British food to pander to the Americans.

Might be RP but the word pronunciation is pro- nun -ciation. There is no o between the n's.

Very nearly any word can be used to mean drunk. Some are more codified than others - bladdered, trollied and so on - but anything will work in context. “He was totally Weetabixed.” “He’d had four bottles of Buckfast and was utterly rafted.” “He got pulled by the rozzers and turned out to be completely broomed.” “He said it was ok to microwave tea, but you can’t really blame him - he was totally clatterwazocked.”

Swindon is a joke, spaghetti junction and the five ways roundabout in Birmingham is just as bad if not worse. Swindon claim to fame is the worse designed roundabout as it actually rotates in two different directions if I recall rightly, from inner to outer. Which doesn't strictly identify it as a roundabout, more a contraflow system...

His attude about our food is not true

He isn't very good at the Geordie accent. 😂

Who the hell uses the word ‘Trollied’ to describe getting drunk? I’m a 51 year old English man and I have never heard anyone say that. Pied off that’s a new one on me. It must be a Millennial saying. That was a poor video for people outside of the U.K. to learn about the U.K. Jack did a poor job.

Please stop insulting the Welsh, if you hang a flag use the correct orientation.
