This is part two of Tony in Sheffield. Check out part one here:
• Talking to people in S...
Glossary:
1 - 'more wilder' is incorrect, it should be 'wilder'.
2 - 'bits and bobs' is a phrase for lots of small things. In this case he is probably meaning that he has been going out to small events here and there, and but not really big nights out.
3 - 'DIY' means Do It Yourself.
4 - 'rough' in this case means 'aggressive'.
5 - 'day bird' would be someone who prefers to do things in the day rather than in the evening or night.
6 - 'wankers' is an offensive term for... hmm... not very nice people! (This comes from the slang verb 'to wank', which is 'to masturbate' - so a wanker would more literally be someone who masturbates, but the insult is not literatal in its usage.)
7 - it is common in English to call someone 'love', regardless of if you even know them, nevermind how much affection of have for them. Although it is more common for females to say when addressing both sexes, and males to say when addressing women, some men with strong Yorkshire (and maybe other, I don't know...) roots will also address other males as 'love'. Just for interest, 'duck' is also commonly heard in Sheffield.
8 - Tony is not addressing just sports fans, and the quiy isn't a sports quiz, but for some reason 'sports fans' has become a phrase - if anyone knows the origin behind this I'd be interested to know!
9 - 'Ta' is a common word for 'thank you'.
10 - 'mate' has become a really common way of informally addressing people, regardless of if the person is a friend or not.
11 - This woman had already ruled out Michael Jackson but was undecided between the other two options. Therefore Tony is saying she had a 50% of getting the answer right when guessing.
12 - 'tough' in this case means 'difficult'.

Thanks for your comment, I'll make sure to distinguish between British and American English next time! I read on the internet that some people thought 'ta' is 'bye', but I have never heard this before, only as a way of saying thanks. However, I have heard 'tara' as a way of saying 'bye'!

I live in Sheffield, and have done since I was born, but yes ta often means thanks, but it can be used for saying goodbye (as I myself use it in that context) as well as ta-ra for goodbye (:

I've lived in California my whole life, for context, in the Bay Area. I would definitely assume 'ta' (or ta-ta, emphasis on the second ta otherwise you get a different word) meant 'goodbye' as in the phrase "ta-ta for now" or ttfn, in chat speak. Where I live it is not commonly used and would seem antiquated or sort of silly/joking. I would more likely say "Goodbye" "See ya" or "Bye". I'd love to do an American English version!

Great videos, both parts have been interesting and really made me laugh. Footnote 7 - I've never heard a guy call another guy "mate". Maybe it's just your social circle. :P Or mine, at that.

@simbrack1195 10 жыл бұрын

In England we call each other 'mate' all the time, even if we don't know people very well at all really. It's just a common expression to refer to someone as a friend really or someone you vaguely know. Or you could say "sorry mate" if you accidentally bump into a complete stranger, if they're male of course. Men say it to other men.

@HashimAziz1 10 жыл бұрын

S Brack I know, I'm from Sheffield. :P Sorry, that was a typo - what I actually meant in my original comment was that I've never heard a guy call a girl "mate", or even a girl call a girl it - it's not done, and I mentioned it because point 10 in the description makes no distinction between gender. That could give the target audience of this video (presumably international/ESOL students) the impression it can be said to both genders, by both genders, so just felt that needed to be corrected.
