Idiom Abroad I Jessica Chastain attempts to translate Scottish slang 

Yes!

He has read some! There's an interview where he has read thirst tweets with Sarah Paulson, sure it would be amazing to have him do that again!

Naaa...Jessica should. That series is hella sexist, its always men 🙄

R Baz Sorry dude but when a man thirst tweets it just comes off as predatory. It’s a double standard. You just have to deal with it.

@@rbaz9454 you think a woman receiving thirst tweets wouldn't be controversial?

I’ve got a neighbour called “Oily Jim”, and whenever there’s a wee patch of sun, he strips off and layers himself in lotion and just “cooks” himself for the few minutes he’s got

Aye, loads a peely-wally people oot DESPARATELY tryin' tae get a tan!!! lol 🤣🤣🤣

@@garyking1986 Clearly " Jims" are a thing in Scotland too. When I was living in Edinburgh there was an Organic Jim who loved nearby.

It’s literally _the exact_ same in Ireland. Any chance of sun and the tats are out

I heard Scotland had a wonderful summer this year...it was on a Tuesday this time? 😉

I was smiling and looking at Jessica the whole video.

Disgruntled Artichoke Was about to comment this

so was jessica

Absolutely same

It's that accent man!

Braw...

@@djackson006 this means its good for anyone wondering

ShelbyBaby27 I was truly shocked nobody knew that except James. I’m from the opposite side of Pennsylvania and we even say jawn

@@Kat-qr7hv I thought everyone said it 😂

Agreed

Seriously, whoever is from Philly and said 'jawn is not a thing' must be a fucking idiot

I agree with you! Hahaha

Well he does have a very weak accent so he doesn't need to change it. Someone like Kevin Bridges has to drastically change the way they speak.

@@sulphuric_glue4468 very true, but putting on a more "polite" accent is very doable for kevin too

Honestly I'm from the English midlands and I sometimes struggle with Scots.

He bloody well does by the way. Try and find Drumchapel voices and you'll see

@@thesnudge1 aye of course he's not gunna lay on a full thick Glaswegian accent, that' would be cruel

Chastain is sheltered and all her Philly friends are probably from stuck up rich neighborhoods. I've know this and I'm from the UK. There was a whole scene describing the term Jawn in Creed too.

Scarf Ace white folks be trippin & America too sensitive.

Yep, it's basically "that's my joint/thang"

@@eon001 she's not from Philly tho

@@5Waya Mcavoy is from Scotland, and I'm from England and we both knew Jawn was a thing. Chastain needs to get out more.

You can tell they were from the posh part of Philly. "It's a thing but only used by certain *types*". Yea we know what that mean ;P

@@eon001 facking hell thats outrageous

Ahh, I see the euphemism. Baserad och rödpilla

I ve heard that expression in the Creed movie with Michael B Jordan

Woaaaah some eastern PA stuff

Also, put your bank card into a fence and wonder why it's not giving you money.

You need a lot of ‘swally’ for that.

😂

Aye, in Scotland getting so drunk you suffer a stroke is what we term "3rd base" on a night out.

Yep I'm the the UK and even I knew that. Chastain has lived a sheltered life and all her Philly friends are probably posh elitists lol.

Good I’m from philly an never realized how much I say Jawn till now

your name made me laugh so hard. i just didn't expect ... lol

You too, mate, you too

@@Floral_Green Aye but to use another Scottish Phrase..She's All fur Coat but nae Knickers.

@@jamesmaclennan4525 explain

james MacLennan Might use that one when the opportunity presents itself. Thank you, friend

Same but with McAvoy

"It can't be that" looks down lmao

NAWW the Scottish people are a bit more to the point then Americans are. They dont beat around the bush like Americans do. My family is like that, but then we are of Scottish and Irish decent.

Fuck the italians right?

Next time pair James McAvoy with PETER Capaldi ~ that would be 100 times better!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

michael reader I am from Amish country and I knew what jawn meant

@@Kat-qr7hv then she moved to Philly yesterday

Weird thing, I used to drive for Uber/Lyft a lot, and most of my passengers were under the age of 30ish and hand just moved to the area less than 2 years ago. And by a lot, I mean a lot. Most came for school and decided to stay. So 1 would assume that a lot of people who live in Philly now may not know what jawn means 😱. I know, it's dreadful to even think about. Jawn is as Philly as cheesesteaks, water (wader, and I do say it like that around relaxed company) ice, and the Liberty Bell! Without out jawn, there is no Philly, there is no Liberty Bell! So rush to your phones and call the number that flashes on the screen when James makes a plea to Philadelphians to back him up!

@@benjaminmullins-spann9999 but they aren't from Philly then. And that is what they said in video

@@Framlii and this is the reason why they may have "claimed" that they're "from" Philly. Na, you not "from" Philly, you just live here now lol.

Ty Btw, Highlander is that one with Liam innit?

McAvoy spent a small amount of time in Philly filming Split and Glass and he probably heard one person using the Jawn thing.

He probably heard every person he met say it because it is such an overused slang word in Philly

lol i mean you spelling bullshit like that means you're not from Philly either

Jawn is 100% a thing, in fact it can be ANYTHING. Mad respect to McAvoy filming all those M Night movies.

Jawn is definitely a thing.

he did film two movies in Philly

I'm from the UK, and even I knew this. They said it a bunch of times in Creed, and I listen to Meek Mill and Beanie Siegel :)

Hmm, don't know them.....but that definitely means you know what your talking about.

@@eon001 I see you replying to lots of people telling them you are from the UK and that this is common knowledge and that Jessica Chastain needs to get out more. And my first thought was "This person must listen to rap music." Since jawn is apparently black slang in Philadelphia, America. And your comment here confirms my theory. Just because you happen to be from the UK, and listen to rap music does not mean that Jawn is remotely known about in Scotland, England, or the UK as a whole among the majority of people. It's an obscure slang word from a small community in a city in a state of 50 states, within America, which is thousands of miles away. You don't speak for every British person.

@@callumcowan7047 lol where did I say I was Scottish? I'm from London ffs. And what does it matter? Just a bit of banter, chill out with the essay.

@@callumcowan7047 Nah editing your comment doesn't change the fact there your still overreacting. lol :P

Scott Crosby she’s looked the same the last 8 years anyway😂

She’s the ugliest freakiest looking red haired monster in the new It movie. That’s saying a lot.

Rifle Shooter Channel have fun being a virgin

Unicorn Hunter That’s some interesting projection on your part.

Rifle Shooter Channel nah, it’s not an interesting projection. It’s just a throwaway comment and shitty opinion...just like yours

😂😂😂

lol

Word!

Not necessarily, I'll give an example conversation: Bob: I just got the new Jordans. Dug: Man, I copped them jawns last week. Here it is understood that "jawn" means the "new Jordans".

@@benjaminmullins-spann9999 right it replaces the jordans which is what i mean

@@papagritty432 you said "it's a replacement for something you don't know the word for". In that example, the word that was substituted was known. That's why I said "not necessarily".

What's so funny about a Scottish accent?

No, "jawn" can stand in for any noun, it can mean a person or animal. Joint I'd usually a just preference or place.

blood honey a thing is a noun babe. Person, place, idea or...ya know...thing

blood honey and I’ve heard joint used to refer to many things like “this joint nice” referring to a song for example. But in some west/south side Chicago accents its phonetically practically the same as jawn they would sound the same and have very similar uses. Also I’m assuming your from Chicago and you know there’s like west side south side west suburbs south suburbs all off which have similarish but still different accents so who knows maybe we’re just on different pages there

I've more often heard " gawn yer dinger " meaning raging about something.

I love Philly/ Baltimore things.
