The South African girl seems so sweet! I hope she becomes a regular on the channel

I remember moving from SA to Austria and writing my first English test and wrote robot instead of traffic light (not knowing that the word traffic light even existed) and causing huge confusion for my teacher.

Mia 🇭🇲and Rea 🇿🇦 have credit but i like the fact that channel views were being "normal" until Lauren 🇬🇧 came back and changed even more with Christina's return. 🇺🇸

Proud of you Rea 🇿🇦 representing us 🤗

First channel with a Black South African 👏🏾👏🏾

Learned a lot of words and phrases this time! Hope you guys learned something new too! -Christina 🇺🇸

My ex was South African so knew those ones especially the robot always amused me.

the best group so far, they are really into the purpose of the videos and seem to have fun with each other

Eejit is also used in America, probably from the Scots settled areas like certain parts of Appalachia

I'm from the US and my grandfather would say "eejit" often. I picked it up but kids at school and other people thought it was weird. My grandfather would also say "aye" instead of okay...and I picked that up also. I still get odd looks from time to time here in the US when I say certain things. If eejit originates from Scotland, it makes a lot of sense to me now. Apparently our family ancestry has a lot of ties to Scotland. I wonder how certain terms and slight accent idiosyncrasies remain in a family for so long without changing. I did grow up with my grandparents on a ranch in the middle of nowhere...so perhaps that social isolation over generations preserved those terms within our family.

Love from Togo west Africa

We say sharp sharp in Nigeria too, but it means quickly or hurry up depending on the context.

I’m a Rea 🇿🇦 stan I love her

The only reason I knew the meaning “eejit” one, was from watching Agents of Shield, and hearing Fitz talk😂

When the other people tried to guess shap shap my gosh no the pronunciation and guesses were so off 😂 Love these vids!

So this is what I've read regarding the appelation of 'Robot' regarding traffic lights. Before traffic lights were there in South Africa, the police used to control traffic with their hands in busy intersections as they still do at times. When the traffic controllers (the police) were replaced it sort of created an impression that a human job was replaced with a machine and hence the name robot. The original term was “robotic traffic controller“. When the traffic controllers (the police) were replaced it sort of created an impression that a human job was replaced with a machine and hence the name robot. A number of countries call traffic lights a 'robot'. Robot can also be a term for a vending machine. The word itself derives from the Czech word “robota,” or forced labor, as done by serfs. Its Slavic linguistic root, “rab,” means “slave.”

Thanks again guys. Love it.

Eejit is also Irish, as my Northern Irish relatives use it too.

I'm in love with the south african accent omg

I do love the banter between Lauren and Christina 🤩

Interesting how we always learn new things if these videos. I suck at slang most of the time, so I'm taking notes haha

Football means a different sport in the US, the UK and Australia. Weird that 3 different yet popular sports are known by the same name.

Shooot the shit, it's a bizaaaarrreeee phrase funny phrase chris 🤭🤭🤭🤭🍻

Dodgy has been used in the US since the 1960's

Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

I like rea cause she seems sweet and I'm also in south africa 🇿🇦 ❤

I know the dictionaries say it's British or chiefly British, but dodgy isn't uncommon in American English either. I've heard it my whole life.

Head like a half sucked mango! 😂 My Mum always says, “head like a racing tadpole” hahaha! Language is funny! 😂

I remember "hang a louie" and "toss a ritchie" from polar express

PFF... ok just because i used that too much, i remember that we have something similar to the mango one and it is like a hairstyle but thats why i love my country mexico so much

In Nigeria 🇳🇬 , Sharp sharp means like quickly or fast 😂🇳🇬

Here in America we had a long running tv show called Supernatural. In it, one particularly gruff character has this catchphrase "idgit" that pretty much meant stupid or idiot. He also used it almost like a curse word.

I wish they could bring more Africans to this channel

Love u from arab world 💜 💚 💜 💚 💜 Lauren and christen

This word, "Eejit", i've heard first time with the video with Vanille from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 , even though she is from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 , Lauren did well and knew the meaning 🇬🇧

sharp sharp in Nigeria means fast

Pretty sure soccer comes from the full name for footy, Association Football > Assoc > Soccer. In the same way that Rugby is really Rugby Football and sometimes called Rugger.

In German we also say "shoot" (Schieß los) to mean "pose your question" or "tell me".

Christina and Lauren I like you so much so awesome and pretty woman for me🇺🇲🇬🇧💖

Great video! Eejit was my favorite. Good job Lauren.

cristina and lauren i love you friend🙂🤭

I'm german but grew up in south Africa. I always heard 'sharp-sharp' but I only saw it written down after many years, I always thought they were saying 'shupshup'.

Christina did a dance that we in the USA call the robot. My friend does the robot when we are at the club and I’m like 🤦🏾‍♀️ 😂

This was interesting.

Christina's socks are in other level...

Bus a lef, bus a rite 🇯🇲 Take a left, take a right🇯🇲

As an Australian that doesn’t see much Aussie content it’s amazing to see this but I say chuck a uiy

In Australia we also call rugby footy too.

In south africa dodgy also means scaly.

They greeted like Teletubies 🤣🤣🤣

I really like "sharp-sharp". :D

I remember a British MP called David Cameroon, Dodgy Dave..

In Ghana we say Sharp too But just one sharp ..but means the same thing ...Mostly used amongst friends

LMFAOO we use something similar to eejit in jamaica

I associate "eejit" with Ireland -- but of course it makes sense it would be Scottish, too.

Fun Fact: In America we look at tea as fish food for sea creatures in The Boston Harbor

I got the hang a luey from the polar express

Footy is the discount rugby :)

We do actually call sandwiches sarmies here in South Africa

The slang Sharp-Sharp in Nigeria means to do something "quickly"...

SLAYY ROBOT

In Florida, we would normally not say swimsuit. That's a fancy term for what we call a bathing suit.

I’m Canadian and I’ve NEVER heard of hang a Larry or hang a Louie

Oh "bang a uey" In Australia it's like that, tho it's "chuck a uey"

Rea was right with the word “Dodgy” bc we also use it in the US. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I would love have to friend from U.K

Sarmie is sandwich, Rea was incorrect about that but right about it’s cultural use

Fun fact: in south africa the robot when there is not one but you would think there is the is a picture of a robot with a cross in it

Okie dokie.

I’m Irish and we say eejit too lol

im from australia (nsw) and NEVER ONCE heard the slang "half sucked mango" where is that from lmao

MORE OF THIS SERIES 🇺🇲🇿🇦🇦🇺

Bruh I’ve never heard someone say hang a Larry in canada

I'm bad at English but I'm trying to learn

The "Head like a half sucked Mango" reminded me of a friend's old favourite: "head on 'em like a bulldog chewing a wasp."

Dodgy is used in South Africa

When they said sharp aharp it was kind of weird but i know is as shap shap

I thought footy was an Australian word meaning the ball used to play rugby 🏉

I hope you can do a video with Arabic

Dogdy is definitely sketchy.. sus is more shady

I knew footy. I’ve heard/said “hang a Louie” (not Larry) and “hang a u-ey.”

4:50 lmao

my brother says flip a ricky when we means to turn right and we are american

Half-sucked mango needs world wide usage.

I thought Eejit must know a lot of people after the sitcom ‘Father Ted’. This was the first place I heard it a long time ago.

Why was tsek! not there?

I thought it was slops for the shoes

In south africa a sarmie is a sandwich depending on the person who uses it

i have never in my life heard about the half sucked mango in my life and i’ve lived in australia my whole life 😭

In scotland a sandwich is a piece

I'm from south africa

Here in America, I never heard it pronounced "eejit" but "idjit" instead...close enough I knew instantly what it meant.

Footy. Would've said no show sock.

I'm American, and I've heard "dodgy" being used here my whole life. But I've generally heard it in the context of like, "He's being dodgy." and not so much in a sentence like "a dodgy situation" that Lauren said for the UK.

Dang why they separate Christina and Lauren in the seating arrangements though? Lol

I think of "shoot the sh!t" as something you do with acquaintances or semi-buddies, or randos at a bar. With friends you talk, with randos you "shoot the sh!t". It's not a forever classification. I have many good friends I met in a bar and started out just swapping anecdotes with.

Eejit is Irish and I'm Irish so I would know

I like descriptive slag, there's a lot of that in Yorkshire. One of my favourite is she looks like she's had her face set on fire and someone put it out with a shovel. There's also stuff like put wood in't 'ole

Uiiiiiiijjjii

I'm glad I understand those slang words. :D
