Celebrities Teach You American Slang | Slang School | Vanity Fair 

I have never heard Jennifer Garner's natural accent before!

The way E-40 holds the iPad gives me anxiety

E40 explained slang with more slang.....

As a Texan, "Bless your heart" is situational. Like, Oh my dog passed away last week. "Oh, bless your heart, that's terrible!" : genuine concern and sympathy. As opposed to seeing someone walking around outside in a tank and shorts in freezing weather and turning to your friend and saying "Oh, bless their heart." : actually saying "Look. Look at that idiot." All about context.

Matthew forgot to mention that "Bless your heart" is very frequently used sarcastically & is *not * meant as a positive thought towards the person receiving the blessing.. it's all context . At least in North Carolina. Y'all will know a bad blessing when you overhear or receive one :-)

I love that their accents come out a lot more, like Jennifer Gardner and Chloe Moretz, it makes more sense because they have southern belle personalities

I never realized how thick Jennifer Gardner’s southern accent is

I feel bad for all the ppl trying to learn English then when they are out and about one day and get hit with one of these. Robber: “GIVE ME YOUR CHICKEN” English learner: “wtf”

Jennifer's southern accent is everythinggggg

Adam Devine referencing micheladas 😍 what a cultured king.

Yep...southern women are the queens of passive-aggressive. Bless their little hearts.

The way e-40 holdin that iPad make me hella nervous

Wishing there was another 'Black' actor doing the NY slang, cuz it's a whole nother level

Any time I see Jennifer Garner I hear in my head "Matty! It's Thriller!" She will always be so precious.

Bless your heart is an insult. Someone does something stupid you say “ahhh bless your heart”

I love this video, I'm gonna rewatch it quite a bit. I am American, and yet the vast majority of these slangs I didn't know. Goes to show how BIG America is, it's like a whole bunch of countries put together.

i love that the different states have their own slang

When tf did "Chicken" start meaning "money"?

Props to Vanity Fair for going to the source and getting E-40 for the California slang segment.

Sometimes I forget how strange American's and all of our silly words our 😭 It really is the perfect example of the regional linguistics I loved watching this

I love EVERY American slang and accent, especially the Southern ones (particularly Texan accents have a special place in my heart)!

While "bless your heart" can be sarcastic, it is not ALWAYS an insult. I really wish people would stop pushing that as the only definition because they don't know what they're talking about. It quite often is a genuine expression of sympathy, just like he said in the video.

I thought hip meant trendy. Lol and I thought chicken meant scared

They've been saying Bodega in New York since the 1970s you just not Latino LOL

Nebraska slang correction here: Aksarban is a debutante ball for young women in town. My mom was in one in 1962. It's a huge deal.

I'm 60, grew up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and Bodega has always been used. Just because Sandler hasn't heard it doesn't mean it hasn't been around.

JLaw: First of all, that's no way to talk about a penguin. Me: *brilliant*

Chloe is the cutest, you know I might could just like this video because of her.

no one: olivia munn's face: that eye and lip emoji that i cant produce on my laptop

"bless your heart" is also the Texas f*** you 😂

“First of all, that’s no way to talk about penguins”

When your american and don't know any of the words

As a Canadian, I was astonished by them calling a toboggan a toque!😂 Crazy!! Mind you not everyone know a toque is what others call a beanie or knitted cap worn in the winter.

i would like to thank e40 for setting the record straight that “hella” is indeed bay area originated slang.

Chloe grace Moretz... man she is something else. I smiled the whole way through. She's gorgeous.

2:30 “red beer” this is a thing in Canada too! It’s very popular to put Clamato “clam-tomato juice” in a tankard of beer like Budweiser

“Sandy, tell ‘em!” Best part of the video.

Wish they could do a segment on American hood accents. Every hood has our own slang Lol

Chloë there trying to skip saying the meaning of her words. Bless her heart

0:12 OK, that explains everything. LOL.

Nobody under 40 uses any of those words in the Bay except ‘hella’. 😂 E-40 be olddddd

'past tense of t' oooooooh I cried laughing

hahahah they’re the best!! Love you Vanity Fair ❤️

Keegan micheal key explaining different slang terms for money is giving me cory booker vibes

I could listen to Jennifer Garner talk about biscuits for hours 🤤

For sure, a toboggan is a sled, but a particular kind (flat wooden surface that curls at one end)

doctor: “you have 10 minutes and 49 seconds left to live” me:

Somebody please cast Jason Bateman in more comedys for the love of God.

Yo wtf was Key talking about lmao? That’s not at all how I interpreted those slangs

I'm very sad there was no DMV slang included here. I wanted to see Dave Grohl explain what "a brick" or "sice" means.

"bless your heart" equates to "you're an ignoramus"

I've never heard Jennifer Garner's real accent 😳 is it real?

They didn't get Bless your Heart right.

As an American this feels important for me to “pass”, though obviously some are rather regional.

When you saw Jennifer Garner did anyone else immediately think about Conan roasting her?

Hella cool video. Now I’m hip to the slang.

Adam sandler doing NY slang is the biggest joke in this video. He should be doing NH slang!

meanwhile a “toboggan” (or tobogán) is a playground slide in spanish!0: aint language funny like that

I have lived in Southern Kentucky my whole life - 21 years - and I have never heard of Kentucky Waterfall. I’m 95% sure that’s bs

Masshole 😂 we love the clickah and Mahkey Mahk!

In Kentucky “bless your heart” has multiple uses... we can use it for people who are having a rough time with something, said when someone loses a friend or family member, used as either an insult or form of pity when someone is simple-minded and is slow to understand or do anything. It’s even used if someone has an accident, especially kids, like “aweee, did you fall and scrap your knee? well bless your heart!”

I only use “masshole” for Mass drivers. Because ALL Massachusetts drivers are Massholes. No exceptions. Out of the car, not so much.

I feel like idina and adam were the duo we never knew we needed

Born & raised in Chicago & lived in areas all over upper Illinois for almost 30 years now.... have NEVER heard those "slang" words Ike explained to Tiffany 😳

Wow theres alot of celebrities for 1 vid. Impressive.

Sandler is wrong - bodega has been used in NY for at LEAST 35 years.

Omg Tiffany Haddish 😂😂😂

A toboggan is a hat in KY?! Oh dear

They may have needed someone with a little bit more sauce for that Chicago bit

Usually when you say "bless their heart" you just said something negative about someone. Like "he couldn't win that spelling Bee if they held up the words in front of him. Bless his heart."

For some reason Adam DeVine, at least to me, has very similar mannerisms, facial gestures and tone of voice to Jack Black.

I loveee the Tudor’s Biscuit World shout out. I love me a little tator!! 🤩🤩

We need some Philly slang. Wader, Jimmies and the list goes on.

I love Jennifer Garner’s accent slang! 🥰😍💕❤️🌹💋🍫 so as much I 💝 Matt’s Texas accent slang & Chloe’s Georgia peach 🍑 slang. Same with Chicago slang, Boston slang, Ozark slang, & NYC accent.

When I saw "chicken" I was like "I know this this! It means coward!"…

Bless your heart depends on context, it can be a nice sentiment or an insult.

Love this! 🤪

He could totally have just made that up about "Chicken" and I wouldn't know

When Adam Devine mentions red beer my first thought was "OH LIKE A CLAMATO" and then he mentioned a mexican version and I went "yes exactly"

Love the St. Louis rep! Although, not all of us pronounce 44 that way, lol. But, I have heard it occasionally.

Jennifer garner is just a gem. She's so purdy

can confirm that is a lot of the southern slang, toboggan means like a knitted winter hat, dad gum is a nice way to curse, might could is like probably, and purdy is pretty. Bless your heart is kinda depends on the context like it can mean like I hope their ok ( like oh man that boy got hurt, bless his heart ) or it can mean like I hope things get better for that person ( like they lost all their money, bless their heart) and you can pretty much but any pronoun in there, though I've seen people use bless your heart in kinda backhanded ways too sorta walk back what they said ( like you got a girl pregnant?! bless your heart) like its a nice way to say your an idiot

What is the first song's name? It seems to be some chill pop music and it sounds pretty cool :)

Chloe is so cute 🤩🤩🤩. She looks the cutest thing ever to come out of Georgia.😘🥰😍

In Maryland we say « bless your heart » in somewhat a condescending way, for instance if someone says or does something really stupid we would respond with « bless you heart »

thank u need more vdeos

Bless ur heart in southern translates to meschugena & is the nicest insult u can get😂🤣😂

Me, watching this as an american and not knowing 99% of this: "Am I even american anymore? Is there going to be a quiz on this?"

Im happy to see jennifer lawrence again

"Yeah yeah I'm hip I'm hip" okay what Flinstone character said that? Side kick to a villain.....

Jen Garner's accent sounded like she was imitating mathew McConaughey! 🥰

Im disappointed they didn't explain the word "jagoff" during the Chi-town slang words. Maybe because it's more a midwestern thing? That's about as close to the English slang word "wanker" there is. Absolute classic.

We need a edition of Detroit Slang but then again its not alot of michigan actors in the industry... (edit) nevermind... Keegan-Michael Key nailed it

You need to do Philly!

the chicago one so accurate lol

I love Chloe and Jennifer when they aren’t acting and in real situations they are Fun. Funny. One is a very good actor..

On the west coast “Giggin’” can also refer to playing a show or concert

Totally going to try red beer.

Adam Sandler what are you talking about dude. My mother owned a BODEGA in Brooklyn in 1961. Bodegas have been around even long before that. Puertoricans have always owned bodegas since American stores did not sell the tropical products we used!

I’ve lived in NYC my whole life and never heard of bridge + tunnel
