Bob’s your uncle, Fanny’s your aunt and Charlie your best friend.

My cousin is 5 and says everyone is named bob and calls everyone a puff 😂 (yam a puff) that’s what he says 😅 and puts his two fingers up to everyone 😂😂❤

Roberts ur fathers brother

I had a friend who was in New York for a business meeting. When they took a break he announced to the assembled Board Members that he was going out of the building "to grab a quick fag" . . . That certainly got some stunned stares.

@@sameebah That was the look on the lad's face in Walgreens.

That is hilarious 😂

When an American friend came over to the UK another friend of mine who had just ran out of tobacco asked me if he could "bum a fag". The American friend looked like he was about to have a stroke lol.

@@betagombar9022 It gets even worse if you ask someone for a cigarette. To bum means to borrow So an expression that is often used is “Can I bum a fag”

Sods Law is like if there are two ways to get somewhere, which ever rout you pick, sods law says that will be the one with the most traffic. Or if you drop your toast and marmite, sods law will make it land face down. You would only use it to describe the less important things in life. Stuff that in the larger scheme of things don't really matter all that much.

Isnt that Murphys law

That is exactly what murphy's law is, sod's law is more than likely just from someone forgetting the name of murphy's law and the replacement sods law stuck

@@TommyTipex ahh sods luck am familiar with that term from my child hood i think your right saying sods law is like an bastardised version of them both

@@skattyopt Yup, sods law is a slang for murphy's law.

Totally agree, also a bias welsh person lol. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👌

Twat waffle is one of my favourites.

Spot on!

Where does a hot bacon cold salad BLT? Where does that fall?

@@mgiles5507 a blt is normally in a baguette style so a baguette imo. if its in a bap it would be sarnie. again thats what i would say not everyone

@M Giles If the bacon is hot then the lettuce and tomato are just dressing that you've added to ruin your bacon butty!

Agreed, it could also be a sausage butty or cabbage butty or a mash butty, anything as long as its hot.

Don't forget rat-arsed!

Bob is my brother-in-law, 2 of my sisters married guys called Bob.

We like Shitfaced round here when drunk.

if Bob is your uncle... is Fanny your aunt too? Or is that hoping for a little too much?

Like brothers, try dad son relationship 😁

Good call, but it's a well known 'backronym' - just saying ! LOL

Chav originated as a police term, as you correctly noted was used to refer to an escalating situation "council housed and violent". It was intended to be used to provide context to other officers reacting to the call without further inflaming a situation. As with anything, the meaning circulated and is now widely used.

I always heard that it was a term originally used to describe someone from Chatham. Which makes sense as in my experience, it is full of chavs

In Scotland we tend to use Ned instead of Chav. It has a similar 'acronym', Non Educated Delinquent.

@@Accountforstuff It's a back acronym.

NIIIIICE! That last sentence was oddly satisfying to read! ❤️

I was lumbering my girlfriend and when my ma walked in we were so scundered. I was French kissing my girlfriend and when my mother walked in we were really embarrassed.

@@gastrickbunsen1957 lol i would take lumbering as giving her wood due to the normal use of lumbering :D french kissing .... not so much, the rest would have been fine lol

@@Gomorragh 😁 We have tree fellers not lumberjacks and timber not lumber. ps. You understood scundered?

Exactly

Thanks I didn’t know these phrases were associated, obviously here in the UK, a lot of things are ‘the business’

I don’t know if that’s true or not but it’s brilliant, so I’m going to pretend it’s definitely true 🤣

Ahhhh

That kind of sound like the premise for a good joke. An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Italian went to a business meeting...... Really cool if it's true though LOL.

Yeah i thought its from the term " its the business "meaning thats the bollocks that is 😁didn't know the italian connection though ✌️

Classic!! 😁🤣

well tinkle on the blower was the noise the phones made in the 80's and blower because so much hot air (speaking) was done through it

Or 'I am dead chuffed' , 'i am made up' = I am so happy ( these may be scouse phrases from Liverpool where I grew up) x

Its reputed that the origin of the phrase Bob's your uncle refers to Arthur Balfour becoming Prime Minister of the UK in 1902 in succession to his uncle Robert 'Bob' Gascoyne-Cecil, The Marquess of Salisbury i.e. that Balfour became either Prime Minister without any effort on his part as his uncle simply named him as the next leader of the Conservative party and thus Prime Minister when he resigned due to ill health. Or possibly a different nepotistic appointment that Salisbury made for his nephew I'm believe this is apocryphal. Balfour's succession or appointment better reflects an allegory of nepotism and corruption rather than completion of a task easily. It may simply be a case of an existing saying somewhat fitting a subsequent event that was retrospectively assumed to be the origin. In addition the full saying was at some point, though not necessarily originally 'Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt'. (Fanny being a nickname of Frances that fell out of favour due to it being later used as a British slang for the vulva). Balfour had no aunt named Frances and the full saying does not fit (though we do not know that the full saying was the original one)

Was about to type this 👌 murpheys law is science, sods law is pessimism 🤣🤣

You should also add that anything that can happen will happen, in an infinite or very chaotic system. Chance plays a big part.

We like beans

@@mick6721 i oftyen think its to do with how your stomach feels after youve eaten a lot of beans .... as the farts brew your somach rumbles and bubbles and is extremely active, like giving it the beans is go full power like the fart escaping after said tin of beans ....

That would also be helpful to others in need of specific navigation

Haaha!! Brilliant! I didn't know that 😆

Only Geordies say this! (I lived there for a few years) I can quite categorically say that in Sussex the word was used since a long time ago with a different meaning

@@holoxthegreat You been around as long as my great nanna Henshaw? She died at 92 in 2001 and she was using the word Charver when I was a bairn.

@@Alfofthyefax never said Charver wasn't a geordy word....but it's nothing to do with Chav

@@holoxthegreat The word chav used in the way it is here, is definitely from the Geordie word Charver. It only started being used to describe someone who partook in antisocial behaviour in the late 90s/early 00s. The other word chav is derived from the Romany word Chavi meaning baby or youth.

Del boy says on the only fools and horses episode Its Only Rock N Roll, be quiet lads I'm on the blower

This is indeed the meaning behind the phrase.

Although, it's true that English has more words than many languages, it is really a contextual language. Many of its words have multiple, often unrelated, meanings and its phrases only really make sense in specific contexts.

The silent k gets them. Trying to explain the no and know or knew new never mind the silent s Viscount. Lol

english is hard to learn because a distance of 20 miles in the uk can change phrases a lot .... mate can be a happy greeting in one town, while in the next it can be a threat ..... pal friend and various other friendly terms are the same ... then theres Derby with Hows mi duck? meaning how are you doing? but 6 month of living there made me resort to "i have no effing ducks!"

I was under the impression it always meant sodomy as is buggery as in you're a pest

@@aporkpiepizza no, buggery is what you and many others think sodomy is, but sodomy is general. Basically sodom was a city. Its biblical. It was destroyed by god because the people did "lude acts". So basically a sodomite is a "deviant"

Gordon Bennett was a Irish journalist who worked in New York. He was well known for doing strange things. Hence the term.

It's actually Hank Marvin who was the guitarist in The Shadows. Similar to Pete Tong (a DJ) as in it's all gone Pete Tong (wrong).

Instead of Gordon Bennett we Christ on a bike

That's a backronym. I.e. People made it up years after in came into use because the etymology wasn't clear. Like the other false or backronymic one Posh as Port Out Starboard Home.

Really annoyed high class English Burberry fashion company, the Chavs. 😎

I always thought it was Council Housed And Violent 😆
