I was searching for alternatives to the idioms "sweating like a pig" and "sweating bullets" (because "ladies don't sweat, they glow"), and found this. It's amusing. Your viewers comments are hilarious. Half of them are reasonable responses, half of them were written with less thought then you used to turn on the camera.
When people who are real hungry in the WESTERN or INDUSTRIALIZED world where there's abundance of food say crap like, "I'm starving." ...Right. You're emaciated, malnourished, and you probably have something of a pot belly? Please.
"The elephant in the room" Where did THAT one start? What kind of room are we talking about here? Certainly not a regular house one.
"A splitting headache"
"Can't see the forest for the trees" That one is just wordy and weird.
"We all scream for ice cream" Why? Just ask someone nicely for it or buy it yourself. Don't be some rude prick.
"I don't give a shit" That one's not so bad, but why would you give feces to someone? That's just gross. We're not monkeys in the zoo.
"Gravity-defying" ...LOL. Really? You or something went in the air for an extended period of time, and you're telling me you "defied' gravity? Yes... because we all know the laws of physics allow for NO ONE to leave the ground. Lol
@whoo689 "A totally organic experience" Yes, because it's SO HARD to say "orgasmic" on a fucking commercial. God forbid a few christian conservatives get all up-in-arms about Herbal Essences because they were blunt about it, even though EVERY THINKING ADULT knew the woman was getting a shampoo-orgasm anyway.
What does it mean when someone says a language is fucked up? What does fornicating under the consent of the king have to do at all with irregularities in a language?
Phrases like "passed away" and "gone" piss me off because it implies that whoever died actually went somewhere, and you don't know where it is. Actually, they ceased to exist, and you know exactly what happens. It also confuses things when someone actually does get lost, remains alive, but is ACTUALLY gone.
And you must have been 'bored shitless' to take the time to sit through a three and a half minute video on a subject you clearly do not enjoy, and THEN feel the dire need to comment on it.
@RiceManPro It isn't a gay request to them, but rather an assertion of their oh-so-macho dominance (usually). It is easily compared to when someone teabags your corpse in Halo, or when a strong dog faux-humps a weaker one. Males of countless species feel the need to tell other males in their communities that, "You're my bitch, bitch." Of course, saying something like, "Suck my dick," out of simple anger is likely more a random, poorly examined insult than anything, with no real meaning at all.
just watched the YTWDPWNS' video response to this , blunty dude you should really do something, man i dont care,and neither should anyone, about what this guy is talking about, your private life stuff and wife or gf whatever, but, thats not right, thats going in too deep in someone else´s personal life.
Yes they do (well to me at least). By the way = beside the general flow of conversation... A tangent if you will. I random thought that is brought about triggered by the conversation or thought pattern, but often not always relating specifically to it.
On the other hand:
If I had enough space I could rant away about biblical rubbish including goats and sheep, but fortunately for you I don't.
I'm a rambler so this will have probably made little sense.
i dont know where this comes from but it definately doesnt make sense to me "cute as a button", and another i thought of while writing this "knee-high to a grasshopper"
how about "it was 'all but' [adjective]". It means the complete opposite of what it should. "They were all but composed" should mean that they weren't composed but it means they were?
Humans didn't evolve from apes, which is true. But we shared a common ancestor which in time began to form many species of hominids (the homo sapien, homo neanderthalis and homo habilis) but all became extinct except from the homo sapiens, which as it stands were the beginnings of humans. So I concur that... yes they are.
Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel tackled a bunch of phrases to see what value they had. For example, "Bull in a China Shop". In reality, the beasts of burden avoided the china at all costs.
well ive been really interested in words specific to certain regions lately in fact blunty or anyone else you should watch a video mattg124 made about words specific to canada its really cool i didnt know we were the only ones with these words also apparently in my city powell river in BC (right across vancouver island) we are the only ones who call rope swings zungas which i did not know but zunga is a pretty kick ass word.......why do we say kick ass
"Eat my dust" - What kind of people carry their dust around anyway?
"The greatest thing since sliced bread." - What is so great about sliced bread?
"Walkin' papers" - I got fired a few times in my life. Never got any walkin' papers. Nor any "pink slip" for that matter. All I got was an angry man saying "Get the hell outta here!"
"In your own words" - My own words?
"Legally drunk" - Thank god it's legal, otherwise we might have a problem.
The word "amen" is the biggest joke. A billion people say this word everyday. It means the "secretive one" from ancient pagan days. Stupid Earthlings.
Actually it isn't Pagan, it is Egyptian, that is where the Jews were and since Moses was an Egiptian priest, saying Amen as an ending to your plea to god, the prayer is actually going to the Egyptian god A-Men Ra, more precicely it seems Moses's name in Egypt was more than likely Amenhotep. So prayers are going to both Amen-Ra the sun god and to the High Priest Moses
it comes from the old days wen if someone was injured u would put a bullet in there mouth for them to bite while u stitched or operated on them as painkillers were not available to frontline medics, probably y it has been adapted to just get it done even if you dont like what your going to have to do
i think that one comes from a magicians trick where they load a old style gun with with bullet and gunpowder then the pack it down with a metal pole but the pole is magnetised so the bullet come out with it. the magician the stand away and the assistant fires the empty gun and the magician who has put the bullet in his/her mouth acts as if he/she has been shot at then spit the bullet out.
I find it odd that we can't use the word sex like we use the word fuck. people blurt out "fuck" all the time, but they're hardly ever actually referring to sex.
Don't overanalyze it, Blunty. You'll just get a headache :) Yes, indeed, the context that gives rise to these "euphemisms, slang and colloquiel expressions" is more important than the expressions themselves. For instance, what's different about this phrase: "You can't both have your cake and eat it, too." - that's right. Most folks say "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Which was the original?
lmfao at "7 condoms" reference to last a bit longer. Also, I agree the horse one is pretty far-fetched. I think "I'm so hungry I could eat the crotch out of a dead horse" is FAR more realistic :)
i'm going to ''run'' to the store. no your not. your going to drive.i need to ''hit'' the road. no you won't cuz that would hurt. or hiting the hey or i'm going to ''crash'' both are for sleeping but come on rely just say i'm sleepy. or if you come close to dieing they say ''i almost bot the farm.'' i live in the mid west and i here that crap all the time.
"bored as hell" i mean come on if your in hell i think bordom wont realy be a problem the same as those who say fuck instead of hell, if your having sex you shouldnt be bored...
my husband always says that he has to piss like race horse. and each time I reply with " Well if you did you would be peeing as you speak and walk because race horses go when they've got to go, even while they are racing." A and he calls me a smartass for saying that.
@silentjay140 it just makes me laugh when I hear it because it would mean that a man would have a horse sized penis. Which in most cases is ridiculous!
And by the way, I was merely making an observation. There was no need for your angry finish line. Have a wonderful day!
Blind as a bat. Bats have eye site that is comparable with that of a human. Its just that tehy also utilise echolocation. Also the term "4 Eyes." Whenever someone says 4 eyes, i think jesus christ, i dont think its me that needs the glasses.
"Slept like a baby" is very applicable. Babies sleep nearly 2/3 of the day and do so with increased REM sleep. When people "sleep like a baby," they are experiencing a phenomenon called REM rebound in which they stay in REM sleep for longer periods of time because it is so vital to our sleep cycle - we naturally try to get as much as we need and make up lost REM sleep first and foremost when paying off sleep debt. Yay for Psychology!
I think that the phrase "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" came from the Crusades era. The Crusaders did a lot of traveling, and they weren't that prepared for their long journeys. They rarely encountered pit stops to resupply. When they were without food or water/wine (wine was safer to drink at the time), they would drink the blood of their horses, and if they had to, they would kill the horse and eat it.
well before this time the nomdic mongolians used to survive following the same practices, they would also make an alcoholic beverage from fermented milk.
They say "I'm so hungry I can eat a horse" because horse meat really isn't for eating at all. So when they say the phrase they are stating that they are so hungry they could eat anything just about now.
in sweden we say "ska vi va?" when we want to do something togheter and transleted to english its "Should we be?" its just so stupid really should we be.. what? What du you want to be?!
Whut. D: Do you have a spare person or something? ._. It means you have something, I think. :/
Like a stuck hog or pig. Basically, it means you're in a lose-lose situation, to me. Beating a dead horse. It's dead. Why bother? -_- On the subject, Beat around the bush. I can see how in some instances, that would be useful, but mostly, why do it in the first place? It means staying away from a certain subject, usually quite obviously, & it can be from either person in the convo.
sometimes i or people around me say "im hot as balls". this statement is also weird because balls are external in order to be less hot than the body's temperature... so balls are technically cooler than a sweaty person
Well,personally,the saying,"cool shit" has never mad much sence to me,for 1) I never personally thought as a secondary fecies as cool,and 2) it's not even cool as in temperature wise,It's stored in your body,meaning ins above room temperature.
I've thought about the meaning of our most common sayings quite a bit as well. When ppl say, 'be back in a second', I think, really, you think your that quick.
When people say "be" when they really mean "is" or when someone says something tastes like chicken. I've eaten things that are SUPPOSED to "taste like chicken" and instead tasted noodles or whatever I was eating. Honestly the only thing that I can think of that tastes like chicken that isn't chicken are frog's legs.
And whenever people don't congregate the word "is."
"We is"
"They is"
"You is"
BLEH! It's just ignorant to do that. And on purpose, no less.
I hear this one phrase from time to time: "Pay through the nose", like "When I sue those guys, they'll pay through the nose!" Obviously, it means "to pay a really big price."
I never understood that phrase- when I think of someone paying through their nose, I imagine some bloke with coins streaming out of his nostrils like he just snorted a malfunctioning slot machine.
mcdonalds is shit the only reason its hot is because somepimpley head prepubescent worm just squeezed it out his ass, also y do qlders call there beer xxxx, coz u cant put shit on the side of a can hahaha. get over yourself we all know wat shit tastes like beacause u have smelt it, to smell u must inhale a small particle of that product therefore it hits your tounge and you would know from the smell what it tastes like, so technically u have all eaten shit.
i was joking before but obviously went over the head of a few people so i had to clarify, maybe intellectual style jokes no matter how dumbed down do not belong on youtube.sorry my mistake, i will go hit my head against a wall so as all the 15yrs olds can understand me.

I've always wondered about the term "jimmy-rig". I don't know if you guys say it over there, so the basic definition is something like this:
Let's say you have a pencil that broke in half. If you put tape around it and say it's fixed, then it has been "jimmy-rigged".

my husband always says that he has to piss like race horse. and each time I reply with " Well if you did you would be peeing as you speak and walk because race horses go when they've got to go, even while they are racing." A and he calls me a smartass for saying that.

hung like a horse makes since cygnus
ur cock hangs down
a horses cock hangs down
Hung is a term used to talk about ur penis
so if u say hung like a horse ur saying ur penis is of equal size to that of a horse
So stop being fucking stupid
silentjay140 2 years ago
@silentjay140 it just makes me laugh when I hear it because it would mean that a man would have a horse sized penis. Which in most cases is ridiculous!
And by the way, I was merely making an observation. There was no need for your angry finish line. Have a wonderful day!

Blind as a bat. Bats have eye site that is comparable with that of a human. Its just that tehy also utilise echolocation. Also the term "4 Eyes." Whenever someone says 4 eyes, i think jesus christ, i dont think its me that needs the glasses.

gheo9670 2 years ago
"Slept like a baby" is very applicable. Babies sleep nearly 2/3 of the day and do so with increased REM sleep. When people "sleep like a baby," they are experiencing a phenomenon called REM rebound in which they stay in REM sleep for longer periods of time because it is so vital to our sleep cycle - we naturally try to get as much as we need and make up lost REM sleep first and foremost when paying off sleep debt. Yay for Psychology!

I think that the phrase "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" came from the Crusades era. The Crusaders did a lot of traveling, and they weren't that prepared for their long journeys. They rarely encountered pit stops to resupply. When they were without food or water/wine (wine was safer to drink at the time), they would drink the blood of their horses, and if they had to, they would kill the horse and eat it.

They say "I'm so hungry I can eat a horse" because horse meat really isn't for eating at all. So when they say the phrase they are stating that they are so hungry they could eat anything just about now.

On your/my person
Whut. D: Do you have a spare person or something? ._. It means you have something, I think. :/
Like a stuck hog or pig. Basically, it means you're in a lose-lose situation, to me. Beating a dead horse. It's dead. Why bother? -_- On the subject, Beat around the bush. I can see how in some instances, that would be useful, but mostly, why do it in the first place? It means staying away from a certain subject, usually quite obviously, & it can be from either person in the convo.

"You"
Use of the word "you" to mean 'some hypothetical person' has always kind of weirded me out. eg'
"And then you went and stuck your face right in the".. "wha? What the hell, no I didn't!"
Another one is where a married woman is sometimes refered to by her husbands full name, such as, "Mrs Darren Jenkins".

sometimes i or people around me say "im hot as balls". this statement is also weird because balls are external in order to be less hot than the body's temperature... so balls are technically cooler than a sweaty person

Well,personally,the saying,"cool shit" has never mad much sence to me,for 1) I never personally thought as a secondary fecies as cool,and 2) it's not even cool as in temperature wise,It's stored in your body,meaning ins above room temperature.

When people say "be" when they really mean "is" or when someone says something tastes like chicken. I've eaten things that are SUPPOSED to "taste like chicken" and instead tasted noodles or whatever I was eating. Honestly the only thing that I can think of that tastes like chicken that isn't chicken are frog's legs.
And whenever people don't congregate the word "is."
"We is"
"They is"
"You is"
BLEH! It's just ignorant to do that. And on purpose, no less.

I hear this one phrase from time to time: "Pay through the nose", like "When I sue those guys, they'll pay through the nose!" Obviously, it means "to pay a really big price."
I never understood that phrase- when I think of someone paying through their nose, I imagine some bloke with coins streaming out of his nostrils like he just snorted a malfunctioning slot machine.
