Hugh Laurie vs Ellen DeGeneres - English vs American slang

"Hey, shawty, I know your ba-donka-donk has you chuffed to bits, but after hearing you chin wag about it for the past hour, I really wish you'd stop flossing".

You didn't quite get much of the sentence above, right? Well, it's because it blends some American and British slangs.

The fantastically talented Hugh Laurie paid a house call to Ellen, at her "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". They played an exciting game of American slang versus English slang -- it was hilarious. Have fun and learn the slangs. Then, try to "translate" the sentence into more "conservative" English words.

Well if I heard an American say "shawty" i'd hear "shoddy" and assume they were pointing out something of questionable integrity.

Examples: That's a shoddy bike. His missus is shoddy.
