@@Nightshade17655 Ok I had to look that up but now I wonder is the goon part there related to the British English meaning ie thug/yob? So in that sense coming about as a derogatory slang for someone that buys their wine in bags that later got applied to the product itself? Just feels like I should be able to come up with similar examples that contain the word chav but can't off the top of my head, possibly as that slur went out of fashion even before I left the UK some years ago. But it kinda reads like that to me ie something that is associated with drunken yobs that hang out and generally make an ass of themselves.

In performance circles, theater, film, etc., telling someone good luck became a taboo. Wishing someone good luck before a performance became synonymous with wishing someone the exact opposite, therefore if you are competitive with someone and wish them to perform badly, you wish them good luck as a form of jinx or hex. As a result, wishing someone ill, as in break a leg, actually became a wish for them to do well.

"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.

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.

All the American words would be easily understood for everyone I know in Aus, no further explanation needed. I find in videos like this when English speakers have lived in Asian countries for a while and associated with lots of people from different English speaking countries they get confused about their own country’s slang. The word “Doping” is also used by the Australian media when a sporting person gets caught out for using illicit drugs - it’s always termed a “doping scandal” - but anyone under like 40 would generally know that dope means great/cool/awesome as well.

@superduperenglishidioms2 жыл бұрын
According to my research: The idiom has its origins in theatre - which is a highly superstitious profession - where they shy away from saying positive things before a performance. Those in the theatre industry believed (and probably still do), that well wishes or kind words before a show or performance was bad luck. Thus, instead of uttering words of kindness, it became common to wish an actor, actress, dancer, musician or performer, bad luck. “Breaking a leg,” would be a horrible thing for a performer, so it became the preferred way to say, “good luck”.

"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

I’m actually from the south and have never heard that Term. I once had a lady come into the place I worked at and talked about Shrink Plastic wrap and the fact I make pins, she told me she calls it “Shrinky Dinks” which I believe is a kids craft brand of shrink plastic wrap.
@imalwayspanicking2 жыл бұрын
@@Gamerblam That’s interesting. Never have heard of “shrinky dinks.” Though from googling it, they mostly reached height in the 80s so that’s probably why I can’t recall them. Not my era. I’m from the hollers, so you get a lot of ridiculousness like “hogwash” tossed around. Probably because we’re hicks and all that. Hogs usually go with hicks, I suppose.

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.

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.

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.
