    @anonUK, Well now I'm not sure if that was the episode I was remembering or not - watching it just now I barely remember it, though I have seen it before I'm sure. Can't remember seeing it on any of my "complete" collection of MPFC episodes, but I'm sure it must be there somewhere. Anyway, thanks for the linguistic background; I do find that stuff interesting.

  • @phthartic

    "Ecky thump" is not actually used by Northerners, it's more historic if anything, or parodic. Think of words like "Begorrah, bejaysus" for Ireland, or "Och aye the noo"/ "braw bricht moonlicht nicht the nicht" for Scotland. These are never used and if used improperly can cause offence to some. "Ooh arr" is also considered old-fashioned in the West Country, but is still used by some in the more rural areas.

    PS. The MP episode- was it watch?v=3l4g5QWEgVI ?

  • epic!!!!!!!!

    

  • @andrewking60 I don't know shit? How so? Please prove that. Also, I'm not gay, though if I was, so? You are a disgusting thuman being. Die.

  • @ThomasMFilms Hey you don't know shit. You aren't even Human. I bet you like men.

  • LOL LOL LOL!!! Just istening to the audio make me laugh!!

  • Misinformation. This isn't the scene that made a man have a heart attack from laughing. It's the scene where Tim dressed as a Scot that he found so funny, as the man was Scottish himself.

  • Irony!!!!!!!! It's an ironic view of so called North English culture. Especially funny if you've had the misfortune to have experienced first hand the Northern parochial stone age paranoia. The south is no better, think they own the place.

  • @andrewking60 Ok. This really annoys me. You think ALL British people have THE SAME sense of humour? No. Very different shows in Britain. That's like saying American like only 1 TYPE OF HUMOUR. No, though the Goodies are very outdated these days.

  • By the way, Michael Palin used the term in a MP episode, but it was so unfamiliar to my American ear I didn't even realize it WAS a phrase known to British Islanders; it just sounded like random northern England vocalizations... Only finally understood it to be a semi meaningful phrase like 30 years after hearing it on MPFC. And, yes, I know, it's not related in any way to martial arts, but I still don't know WHAT it means, assuming it does mean something.
