  • Tim Gunns vocabulary: Difficulty - Asian.

  • I love Tim, however it is sad that people don't know these words. With the exception of sturm und drang

  • Say what you want, Tim Gunn owns it! To say that his homosexuality should turn him into an overtly flamboyant man is generalizing an entire community. Gay comes in many forms and to expect the same behavior from all of them is ridiculous. Tim may come off as stern and old fashioned but to insult him for that is so disrespectful. As far as I'm concerned, he has great taste and does his work superbly. Some of you should take a page from his book!

  • I think its incredible the hate that it seems one person under multi names has for tim

  • Comment removed

  • i can't see the attraction concern Tim Dumm. I mean, he dresses like something from Richard Nixon's cabinet and never has anything important to say.

  • he is a crashing bore stuck in 1950 who goes around dishing the dirt on women's looks when he looks like crap himself/ herself

  • This is meaningless

  • Comment removed

  • Gunn is a drab bore

  • Comment removed

  • Mr. Gunn's book was not big. He just doesn't have color, flamboyance. He is just grim and conservative. I prefer what Mr. Blackwell did a few years ago. Now there was a man with style.

  • School uniforms encourage bullies not prevent them. It creates a military mindset against those who are different.

  • He's so sexy!!! I'm totally serious!

  • May i never be so alone to want to see this boring grim man on TV

  • 1 MORE DAY TILL NEW TIM!!!!!!!SEASON 9!!!!

  • Would you buy a used car from this man?

  • Gunn is out of style unless you like the George Bush look. He also oppresses gay/trans youth by advocating school uniforms, gender role drag

  • @kellygreen5556 You have no idea what you are talking about. He is an advocate for school uniforms to level the playing field in school, and to prevent things like bullying.

  • @kellygreen5556 You are right. He does advocate and promote gender rigid clothes and school uniforms. Young people have every right to express their identity and be themselves and the mentality of school uniforms creates an air of violence against those who are different. But Tim Gunn is locked in the past and looks like a 1952 Funeral Director. He should not tell women what to wear.

  • @TheBitchinbabs did you and these other bored users gather together for the sole purpose of TROLLING every video with Tim in it? You're entitled to you're opinion, but this seems overly obsessed and quite pathetic, which doesn't help you at all. It's like a religious person going to every evolution video for the sole purpose of pleasing their state of mind by trolling to everyone that science is wrong. QUIT TROLLING YOUR SPAM. I'm tired of seeing it everywhere. Thank you.

  • @umumum1 Think about how anyone would feel seeing YOUR ugly freaky picture. Take your own advice. I will post comments where ever. Too bad.

  • @TheBitchinbabs I never criticized you on anything except for your spammy obsession with hating Tim. How I look has nothing to do with anything. You've succeeded in making yourself seem even less intelligent. Back to the topic at hand, when it's the same comment over and over, it's spam. I've noticed a lot of people who have done the same thing are now removed, so don't be surprised if you suddenly have a canceled account. Spam abuse is not a hard thing to report. I suggest that you stop.

  • @umumum1 I read here that YOU contacted Babs first. So maybe YOU should stop and move on. I really don't care for the 1952 funeral director look either on Tim.

  • @umumum1 umm, that sounds like a threat to censor me but it won't work. You started with me and I thank Kelly for her/his support in turn. You are free to post your own opinions and so I am I. Cry over if you want. The world turns. I have noticed that you changed your photo since you first wrote to me. That's good and the first one could induce vomiting. But at least I applaud you for setting your own style and not following Tim Gunn's old fashioned dictates.

  • @TheBitchinbabs I only changed it because I initially forget to update it as often as I do my other profiles. But hey, thanks for STILL trying to make an irrelevant point about a stupid picture. I never said I was going to report you, but I can't guarantee no one else will, because it's still spam. Since you seem so passionate about your opinion, I hope you're doing something more productive about it in real life, because that's where it counts. Good luck and have a nice life.

  • @kellygreen5556 Translation: "Blah blah blah Political correctness blah blah blah my guilty liberal credentials are pristine blah blah blah"

  • @kellygreen5556 God, how I'd love to have a long conversation with you. I'm sure you'd treat me to a veritable feast of words like "normativity" and "hegemony" and give me a lovely survey of queer theory and Gramschi and Fanon, etc.. No doubt you'd make me understand Tim Gunn's place in the global conspiracy to undermine the gender identities of every queer young man and woman on the planet. I'm absolutely certain that Mr. Gunn's purpose is life is to undermine their self-expression.

  • Tim Gunn is harmful in many ways 1) he enforces the negative sterotype that gay men sit around dishing women's appearances 2) he supports enforced school uniforms- a mindset that promotes the culture of violence against those who are different 3) the whole idea that anyone has the right to tell others how to dress, especially when you haven't left 1949- is absurd. His qualifications? Being a Queen? Sorry, I'll pick my clothes and I like color.

  • You gotta love Tim....you simply gotta! :0)

  • Haha, I love Jeffreys expression at 0:22 ^^ . He really doesn't understand it XD

  • tim gunn is a walking dictionary

  • i love when he puts his hand to his face like he's in such deep thought lol. i love this man.

  • A wild fashion designer appears!

    Tim Gunn uses Giant Vocabulary!

    It's super effective!

  • dont mind me. I'm just looking for Tim Gunn videos. Carry on with your fashion stabbings.

  • oh i love him, i want to be like him! =D

  • It's refreshing to see someone utilizing a wider range of the english language... it gets so boring hearing people speak the same 500 words or so over & over.

  • i love that guy!

  • @ZarahLean you have a stereotypical attitude towards people who choose to be celibate. "Rigid ideas in gender roles in clothes" are advocated and practised by many sexually-active people as well.

  • @CrystallineBlue Yeah, well, maybe its because people who don't have sex have a problem, eh? Personally I feel that rigid ideas concerning gender and clothes are very passe- like 1950's. And that wasn't a time of liberation. As you can see, I am not a Tim Gunn fan. He is welcome to his opinion but not to tell women how to dress.

  • @ZarahLean

    Not having sex is not a problem - it's a choice. Same as having sex is.

    And not to be argumentative but "rigid" or traditional gender-specific clothing was around much later than the 1950s. Check out movies from the very-liberated 1970s, the women are all in skirts/dresses, even police officers.

    Gunn gives fashion advice to both women and men. For the purpose of Entertainment! not suppression.

  • @ZarahLean

    Oh get a grip you feminazi harpie.

    He has adopted a classic, not constipated style befiting someone his age.

  • @mylene97531 I love your "feminazi" insult. Whatever style he wishes for himself, however constipated, is his concern. What women wear is ours. I don't believe in rigid gender roles in clothes or scents or care for the colorless 1950's funeral home look. Tim Gunn is who he is- someone who has not had sex in 30 years and has baggage from his white bread, rigid upbringing. Follow his advice if you like. You will look boring. Bet you do already. Love, Zarah

  • @ZarahLean everyone should really come and check this out, this is a kind of youtube argument i haven't seen before. these two women are getting really passionate about tim gunn, pulling out crackers like 'feminazi' and 'i don't believe in rigid gender roles'. it's like a high school debate class, but about fashion reality tv.

  • "This is a very circuitous staircase."

  • Tim Gunn is the best ♥

  • Scuttlebucket?

  • @BabyScarecrow

    It's scuttlebutt.

    A term derived from nautical usage, refering to a cask which was on a ship with the express purpose of holding the days fresh drinking water.

    The other meaning, which is how Tim used it, is a synonym for gossip, rumor, buzz etc.

  • I wish Tim was my ELS teacher......

  • Comment removed

  • TIM GUNN!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 0:16 that's funny and cute!! XD

  • Comment removed

  • quotient.

  • love tiiiim

  • sturm und drang, i love it.

  • Tim Gunn is such a great representative of the gay community. He's intellectual and such a lovely person. It always frustrates me to see so many other gay men who have only superficial and air-headed affectations.

  • @thecritiquevirtuoso I agree with you.. I love Tim!!!!

  • @thecritiquevirtuoso Actually Tim Gunn is asexual.

  • @afertyu

    Yeah I recently read that he is (more specifically a homo-romantic asexual)

  • Everybody loves Tim!

  • i love how everyone pretends like they actually know what tim is saying

  • Tim gunn is just lovely.

  • Love Tim Gun...lolol. I wish I had his vocabulary.....

  • Lol so now maybe there's ONE reason why studying hundreds of retarded words for the SAT is useful in the future.

  • "quotient."

  • He is inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity. That is something to love. The blank looks are kinda scary really.

  • i think he does it on purpose

  • Hahah. That season was great! Tim is such a delightful gentleman, I just adore him!

  • he is pronouncing sturm und drang really weird, sorry... but other than that I LOVE HIM! He's my hero. Looking forward to Project Runway season 7!

    btw I'm German so I would know.

  • woww

    i thought i used big words

  • I couldn't stop laughing when he said "This is a very circuitous staircase", and you can just see his legs walking around the corner.

  • This was hilarious. XD I love how all the designers seem like idiots next to him, lol. Tim Gunn is awesome. :3

    -Ri

  • @ecastshiek the word is "circuitous".

  • What is the world he uses when they're climbing the stairs at 0:57-0:59?

  • circuitous - just means circular

  • @TheDeanFan Circuitous is synonymous with circular, but circuitous (having a circular or winding course) is the more accurate choice in this case.

    Back in the day when language arts were valued -- i.e. taught in the school system -- choosing the appropriate word to exactly describe what one wanted to say/write was fun!

  • i always thought i was a bit slow going huh when tim said something but im glad to see hes got others going o__O too lol

  • "He also likes to use the word caucus, which is hilarious because it always makes me think of politics." Best thing EVER.

  • I love Tim Gunn!

  • LMAOO ! I never even noticed that he uses so many words like thatt! :D Timm! <3

  • rofl. the eyes at 0:40 is the best part.

  • Um, what? These are perfectly normal words... I'm disturbed that someone would be confused by them.

  • Yeah, I think a lot of them are pretty common. I can understand someone not knowing "Sturm und Drang" or "amorphous," but otherwise...

  • Tim gunn rules

  • i love tim gunn <3

  • it's almost like he speaks another language!

    ohh man i wish i could use words like that and pull it off xD

  • lol HE IS :D

  • i could listen to his voice all day (:

  • I don't understand what Tim say from 1:00 to the end! except Congratulations! Sorry, i am from Taiwan :P but i am really hungry for what Tim say? is anyone know could type it here for me? Thanks a lot in advanced!

  • I was ambivalent about it

    You came in and placated me at least

    constructivist

    amorphous

    contrivance

    misapprehension

    egregious

    quotient

    anemic (I think this is what he says to Uli, the beginning is a bit cut off)

  • You are so nice.

  • LOL. I would totally want him to be my SAT tutor for all those words !

  • i actually use some of those word dialy like mitigate and consternation but strangely I also use "sturm und drang" because i recently have a german trauma, haha

    but hell! the fact he's gay level is so high makes it hilarious! and it wouldn't be the same if he wasn't gay =D

  • Haha, the 'sturm und drang' is a bit full on, but the others are no biggie alright.

    Egregious is a fantastic word! Love that one.

    It is all in the way he says it though, isn't it? Nobody pulls off a polysyllabic like Tim!

  • i love Tim Gunn. I watcj the show and he is the best in there. But it seems terrible to me that people don´t know what mitigate and consternation means. Those are english words, not like "faux bois"

  • Mitigate and Consternation are also French in origin which in turn developed from Latin.

  • To be honest, at least half of the words in this clip are not "3 dollar words." "Placate" is pretty common, as is "ambivalent."

    I love Tim, and wish he were my life coach.

  • He's so gay that its funny

  • tim is amazing

  • B IS FOR BIATCH HAHA Angela's tshirt. PS I LOVE TIM GUNN!! HES THE CUTEST MAN EVER <3333

  • He is so adorable. :D

  • lol i love him!!

  • lol i luv tim

  • oh tim gunn. so funny that people who speak english dont even know what youre saying.

  • He seems so conservative and yet so HIP.LOL!!

  • lol I did not know a couple of those words. That guy at the 52nd mark had the funniest face!

  • looovez

  • OMG I LOVE TIM GUNN!! :D

  • lololololol

  • LOL - Aw I always loved that about Tim. He's so cool.

  • He is speaking English, it's called being articulate.

  • @Aueneye -- Thank you. I watched this and thought, if this is a sample of most Americans' command of the English language, we're fucked. Consternation? Mitigate? I am truly afraid if reasonably well-educated adults cannot recognize those words.

  • @gaia1214 I agree! With the exception of the esoteric french and german expressions the words Tim Gunn is using are not challenging to understand for anyone with what should be an Average command of english. 

  • @Aueneye not all is english... some words are german

  • @Be1smaht : Quite so.

  • @Aueneye yeah sure he is, except for when he's speaking French and German. It's called "He is speaking a foreign language".

  • @katwoody515: Yes, indeed, well spotted. *sigh* I didn't realise I had to point out the bloody obvious.o_O

  • @katwoody515 One of the reasons english has been so successful is its ability to absorb foreign-language expressions.

  • @katwoody515 What about when I use adopted words in English conversation like 'entrepreneur' or 'guardian'? Am I suddenly speaking another language. Or if I said, that is 'so passe compose' [past tense]... its an adopted expression. Unless it is not well used (so as to count as an expression in my eyes), then it should not be considered as 'speaking another language'... as expression of ideas and feelings usually transcends language.

  • @dancagurli 'cause u r a fucking dumbass

  • @JerseyPaul2292 'cause u r a fucking dumbass

  • @JerseyPaul2292 i just took a big shit in my pants. will u clean it up for me...with your tongue?

  • haha! I remembered this when it aired!!

    love it!!

  • Good God! I knew every word he said and I don't think I am a word nerd! *GASPS*

    I thought it was because I read a lot, not because I am a nerd-right?;-)*lol*

  • Bitch, stop showing off cuz you got a 1600 on your SAT verbals. *LOL*

  • Nerd moment: Sturm und Drang --> Durm und Strang --> Durmstrang! (Harry Potter fans will understand.)

  • i sure do...^_^

  • OMG I would have never figured this out on my own!

    God, I feel so stupid right now.

  • haha i love tim gunn!

  • HA HA i luv tim hes so funny

  • I think he is great! He is soo sweet! :)

  • omg! i love him! hes so smart..ahaha

  • "the whole thing looks like faux bois"

    ".....good."

    lmao!

    and at 54 secs i couldnt stop luaghing at his face!

  • i love the face at :21

  • haha

  • Gunn is the definition of classy. What a cool guy.

  • Luvs it (L)

  • ahahaha, michael's thinking face at 0:18

  • i never noticied how he used such big words

  • I LOVE Angela's face when he uses "sturm und drang"

  • oO;;;

    ....good.

    HAHA!

  • tim gunn is the best!

  • Haha Jeff is like 'good'

  • "Sturm und Drang"... I always thought he and Heidi looked good together, this must be a compromise or something. XD

  • OMG, the look on their faces when they have no freaking clue what the word means is hilarious! i think the designers were thinking of something else when tim says caucus. and it doesn't have to do with politics. teehee.

  • "Sturm und Drang"

    The look of complete confusion on the girl's face is priceless!!

  • "Sturm und Drang"

    The look of complete confusion on the girl's face is priceless!!

  • love how jefree was like...uhh, good?
