Brits React to 7 Phrases I Only Heard After Moving to America 

Table goes both ways here. "Put your cards on the table" Means lets talk about them. "While table your ideas" means not talk about them right now, but maybe later..

I always took "Bye, Felicia" to be not just a conversation ender, but also usually a put down on the person that is taking to you. It's meant to shut them down and insult them some.

"Table an item" or "Table it" doesn't quite mean discard it, it more "Set this aside for later". There is usually an acknowledgment that the item may have importance or signifcance, but not at this moment. There is similarity when we say "Put in on the table", that seems to mean the same in US and UK, or "Put it all on the table"... lay it all out, give everything you got, etc. The order, completely changes the meaning.

“I appreciate you” is relatively new. I don’t think I ever heard it used before maybe a decade ago.

1. To add to the explanation of the term “Monday morning quarterback,” NFL (pro football) games are usually played on Sundays. So the sports pundits all give their thoughts on what teams should have done differently during the Monday morning sports news cycle. We also use the term “armchair quarterback” in the same way that he mentioned “armchair pundit” is used elsewhere. 2. “Shooting the breeze” is the more polite form of the term “shooting the sh!t” (i.e., the way you’d phrase it if you were around work colleagues instead of close friends), which actually matches up better with what he’s saying.

"Back seat driver" is another saying i dont think gets mentioned.

John Hancock was the biggest signature on the Declaration of Independence.

"I appreciate you" has become trendy to say over the last few years. I'm 44 years old and never heard anyone say it my entire life until a couple years ago. It's like anything else, certain words or phrases become popular for a short period of time then fade away. I remember back around 2012 all of a sudden a lot of people started saying cheers instead of thank you, it lasted a couple of years then faded away. Now everyone says I appreciate you.

I may say "Bye, Felicia" to my boss--but her name is Felicia.

The two of you are charming as all get out!!! Thank you for the vids!!!

More than that, I hear us say a lot...hindsight is 20/20"

"Bye Felicia" did originate from the movie Friday. The inside joke started when NWA was partying with several women at a hotel. Then a man came banging on the door, wanting his wife to leave immediately, and her name was, "Felicia."

In my nearly 60 years of life as an American, I can't recall ever having heard someone say "bye, Felicia," unless saying goodbye to someone named Felicia. I wasn't even aware the phrase existed. Apparently Laurence hears it as often as all get out. Maybe it's less of a thing in the Pacific Northwest. 🤷🏻 As for "I appreciate you" I more often hear just "appreciate you" or even "'preciate cha." In any case, I only hear it very occasionally, and usually only among family and friends. "Thank you/thanks" is by far more common.

Yeah anytime I interact with the public I always say "Appreciate you! Thanks!"

Oh you should do a reaction video on Friday! It is a classic

I’ve heard of “Shoot the breeze” but in my area we normally say “Shoot the shit”. Same meaning.

I say " I appreciate you " all the time

Luv you guys! America visit was epic 👍😎

I heard 'Shoot the shit' way more often than i hear 'shoot the breeze'.😂

I love the content from Lawrence. This segment was good and interesting when all of the other reaction sites did it months and months ago. Today I say that's old. Your choices.......

Monday morning quarterback is because the game is usually played on Sunday, so when someone criticizes what happened in the game the next day they’re acting as if they’re the quarterback. But they have the benefit of hindsight and they’re not the quarterback. Easy to criticize when you didn’t play in the game and it’s happened already.

i have never heard monday morning quarterback. its probably a regional thing or something only sports ppl say

I am 64 years old and I have never said "I appreciate you" to anyone for anything. I have said this, if someone did something for me or helped me I have said thank you I appreciate it, or thank you I appreciate the help. I have just never said "I appreciate you" because that is just something I would not say in those words. I rarely ever say Monday Morning Quarterback, I do say it once in a while, but very rarely, maybe once or twice a year, if that. Same with shoot the breeze, I rarely ever say that, maybe once or twice a year. I would most likely say shoot the shit, which means the same thing. I never say your John Hancock, I would just say sign this, or sign your name here. I also almost never say Bye Felicia, it was a thing a year ago or so, and I remember saying it a few times, but not any more, I do not say it now, and neither does anyone I know say it now. It was a fad that is over now. I never say "as all get out," it is just not something I would ever say for any reason. Only people in politics say table an item, I have never said it in my life. I plead the fifth, is in the constitution, you can plead the 5th to not say anything that might make you look guilty of something, so you have the right to plead the 5th if you are arrested, or you are in court. It just means you have the right to not say anything, and let your lawyer do all the talking. But let me say this, anyone who does plead the 5th might as well just admit you are guilty, because when we see someone plead the 5th, we just assume they did it and they are guilty. So when or if you ever plead the 5th, you might as well just plead guilty because everyone is going to assume you are guilty.

Had seen the one by Lawrence. I can't remember who I originally watched, but subscribed to both almost simultaneously.

Never heard of " 'Bye, Felicia," before.

I have a suggestion for a reaction video. The comedian George Carlin does a bit called “Expressions and Sayings”. It’s about these things we say or used to say in our country that really don’t make sense. George brings this to light only as he can! I think from late 70’s or the 80’s live stage show. 👍

We also have a couple of phrases that's equivalent to "Armchair pundit" : "Backseat driver" or "armchair quarterback".

You have to watch the Friday series absolutely hilarious

monday morning quarterback, lived in the usa all my life never heard that must be a regional kinda saying

Interesting, I have never heard anyone say "Bye, Felicia".

The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

Lived in 3 states thousands of mile apart for 45 years, very well traveled to at least 35 states. Never once in my life have I heard }as all get out". That's gotta be localised.

you guys should definitely watch friday, but on your movie reaction channel.

I’m American and 35 and never heard that ever lol Monday morning quarterback ??

Table a debate or conversation I thought always meant to put it on hold but not discard it.

Bye Felecia? Never heard that in my part of the US.

We can not be forced to testify against ourselves. Plus we can not be forced to testify against our spouse 😊 the 5th amendment to the Constitution.

To “table” something is the opposite as something being “on the table”. We use both.

American Football is traditionally played on weekends, high schools on Fridays, colleges on Saturday, and pro games on Sunday. Thus Monday Morning Quarterback. Pro games now get played pretty much any day of the week.

I always thought table a bill kinda meant put the bill away in a table drawer and just ignore it.

You guy's should react to Independence Day for July 4th this year 😎

The Texas version is, "I appreciate cha."

Boy this video is "Out of left field!" The phrase came out of baseball in Chicago where one of the early baseball parks had an insane asylum just outside the stadium in left field, thus the meaning is it is weird, mad, and irrelevant to the main topic.

I never heard anyone in the US say, Bye Felicia. It must be regional.

to table is to pause. it's Robert's rules of order. parliamentary procedure, actually British

People have started using "I appreciate you" way too much. Saying I appreciate YOU should only be used for more personal or bigger tasks, like "I appreciate you for driving me to see my sick mother in the hospital", or "I appreciate you for spending the day helping me move into my new apartment." Saying I appreciate IT should be used for smaller tasks like leaving a tip at a restaurant. When I'm at work and someone says "I appreciate you" it sounds weird and too personal, almost like they're coming on to me or something.

"to table" something, means to set it aside to think it over and discuss it later. Often this is a phrase used when we need to give something more thought before we make a decision or the time is just not right to discuss something the term does not mean to discard or forget about it all together. If people are using it that way, are using it incorrectly

To be fair I am from America and I have never heard anyone use the phrase Monday morning quarterback either

Quarterbacks used to decide the plan for the next play until the 1970s.

Friday is the 6th day

John Hancock, in fact, signed it first and largest. Because King George didn't see well to read and Hancock didn't want him to miss it. It is not a myth or legend, it is logged in the Congressional Journal. Hancock said it when he signed it. They all knew very well what they were doing and the consequences.

PEOPLE "OVER USE THAT PHRASE, I APPRECIATE YOU !!!" I GET TIRED HEARING IT MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY !!!

monday morning quarterback = hindsight is 20/20

I'm from the US and several of these are phrases I've never heard before Laurence released this video.

We do also say “armchair quarterback”. Which, as Lawrence said, is critiquing the game in real time! It’s similar to “backseat driver”!

Hey you 3 ! 💛

Lot of sayings about sports and a lot of phrases and sayings regarding guns

Spanish people sometimes call it a Juan Handcock simply because Juan is the Spanish form of John.

Pleading the fifth. I sometimes say but I drank it. Meaning I'm going to drink a fifth of alcohol. Alcohol in America is sold in a fifth ounces. Katherine

Anybody else click like for support, but then don’t watch once they see Lawrence again? I just can’t anymore. Not sure why, but I’m so tired of him.

TALKING ABOUT NOTHING
