Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant, & Charlie Hunnam Teach You Texan and English Slang | Vanity Fair 

You are the girl who teen kids in school are always gawking at.

I mean, they didn’t have much for us on those slides. I was a bit disappointed because I feel like people only know the big phrases or words and don’t realize that a lot of our little areas in the south use massive amounts of slang but nobody uses ‘em much on the internet since they think nobody will get it.

Lmao yes he does

@@matthewhenington8139 But also, "mug" and "geezer" are Southern words Matthew could've elaborated on. "Ooh, she's got an ugly mug (face/expression)," and "Man, he's such an old geezer (cranky, elder person)."

kassy with a k Also known as me

I just died

No two of them are English

HAHAHA

But two of them are English and they sit diferently...

Lmao. Matthew is laid back and slouched. Hugh is very proper. Charlie is rather uptight and protective.

Its more of an insult at this point.

Nice of you 😘 such a sweetheart..just taking time out to reach out to my fans o love you 😍❤

And draws the same blood every time. :)

It's like when someone dresses funny or act silly , you say "God Bless his Heart " ...Lol

@@bluefamily3937 Oh yes. I've had my heart blessed. Lol

Hehe yes he sure did. That's inside knowledge, can't let that out lol

I was soooo waiting on what he would say.........and he didn’t 🤦🏼‍♀️ let’s hope the other 2 don’t use that phrase down south 😂😂

I was kinda disappointed he didn’t lol. I love using it in the north 😂😂

I was just going to comment they got it wrong. 😂

Really it’s a facetious statement here in the south 😂

MrKaje72 omg best comment so true.

True

Name them

Well,he`s a Geordie and has affected a New York accent,a working-class Southern Californian accent(Which is my natural accent,by the way),a working-class NorCal accent,a more stereotypical English accent,an Irish accent,a Southern accent and a Canadian accent in his films and shows.

Anarcha Media thanks mate

Same! 🤙

Just find your local neighborhood kid who just gets high all day

Be a Texan:-)

Just like kitty cow said: all it takes is some of that lovely ganja.

That's where the bud has marinated

That's very Texan of him to do 😏

Of course, it's Texas!

It’s a very southern thing to do 😂

I went back to rewatch that part and OMG!😂😂😂 They both were literally side-eyeing the camera! Freaking hilarious!😂😂😂 Thank you for pointing it out. I needed that laugh today.🤗👍

That’s def a Texan/beef steer phrase… don’t hear that much out in the coastal south

Matthew is like the kid in school who just changes the PowerPoint slides in a presentation and the other two do all the talking 😂😂

🤣😆

kbnj oqd Stolen comment

Never would have known! I use it in the UK but in a sincere way. Won't use it if I ever come to the USA lol!

@@Anonymous-fj2uo it's used both ways and you just have to use context clues. If someone told you their dog ran away the same day they lost their job, saying "bless your heart" would not be taken as sarcasm

I'm Texan too. Just north of Dallas. You are definitely correct about "bless your heart". It can always be used by old ladies when they see you trying to handle 3 boys in a grocery store. Or a shoe store. Or a restaurant. Or...anywhere. Yep, I heard it alot.

Brad Sudmann This comment is 100% true! Lmao 😅 I only say bless your heart when I’m throwing shade lol!

I'm a 50 yr old Texan and can't help but think that it's similar to " E for Effort".

D Clements you don’t have to be an old woman to say it, lol. Any time you della with an idiot, it works.

Basic translation "you're a moron" 🤣

His wife is Swedish.

I could picture him as Alexander Skarsgard's cousin. *lol*

Travis Fimmels' cousin

SilverFlame819 no I think their facial structure looks to different, but definitely Scandinavian.

Looks like a skinny Thor.

he's ragnar brother

Nah. Charlie is british but he's more working class British while Hugh is more upper class.

@@joemckim1183 i know that. He's a well known British actor but he's spent a lot of time in the US so he's picked up a bit of the accent

@@noahbowie5985 He's probably had just as many roles as an american as a Brit. His most well known character he plays an American so I can definitely see what youre saying.

Charlie's American accident was so off on the biker show who's name escapes me atm. Still loved him on it though

@@user-nj1zu2nf1x Sons of Anarchy

Everyone in the world didn't know what he meant. Save the Geordies.

@@mfaisalzahidi: Straight forward if you speak a Scandinavian language. 😉

Vår means our in all the scandi languages. It’s very similar to wor.

Hahahaha right lol

Lmao

You're probably right 😂😂 but it's ok look where he is now 😄

Yup...sometimes is an insult

🤣 🤣

The 1 Ghrol haha thanks I was wondering on the first one how Hugh didn’t know what Charlie was saying.

I love how Hugh slips so easily in and out of lower class cockney and upper british

TM Delacrush I’ve never been to England but Charlie and Hugh have very different English accents, so it’s quite possible one was doing Northern English slang and the other was doing southern English slang

@@the1ghrol theres loads more than 2 types of slang

@@the1ghrol oh yeah, Geordie is North east England, Hugh sounds more central.

Nice to see you here. Can’t wait for the “Jack the lad” video.

Kind of like an excellent man would come across

"Jack the lad" originated as one of the nick-names of Jack Sheppard, also known as "Gentleman Jack" and "Honest Jack." His life reads reminiscent of a Robin Hood film, if Robin Hood were a drunk cockney burglar who married a prostitute. He died by hanging at 22.

Jack the lad O'Connell

@@auturgicflosculator2183 probably the coolest resume i’ve ever read

Uh, what?

@@gaila.9852 He just doesn't take himself seriously, is very down-to-earth, and has been quite Insecure publicly about his acting confidence, especially in the early years and yet in roles where he is required to be diverse, he's brilliant.But most of the time he takes kind of typecast roles, and pretty much acts within himself. *Ultimately, just a very humble geezer and the best example is when he does an interview with Colin Farrell whether both talking about acting and Colin is eulogising about the skills used and Hugh pretty much just says "don't you find that people tend to over explain simple things, when there pretty much quite basic, ultimately," - he didn't put it in exactly that way and he wasn't throwing a barb back at Colin, he was just saying there's a lot less to acting than people like to give a pretext for

@@Rowlph8888 That is not at all what the OP said.

Fletch was one of the best characters, proper gentle rogue!

@Chardonnay Smith - blimey!

Professor Grant can teach me anytime he wants.

I absolutely agree :-)

He did study English, so~

That’s what an English private school education does for you.

Best comment I've seen in some time

😂😂

Its like were all meant to be lol

😁

Dont blow up for the virgins

Yep

On point! 😂😂😂😂

cylynt symphonies / yeah - I got that

On point

That's why Charlie hunnam should play green arrow! He looks the part and acts it, too. Green arrow has always been the bad boy that actually is intelligent, but refuses to put the effort.

Mona S. But so so so happy now that my life has it 😂

Hello gorgeous Thanks for the utmost love moral support

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Spreading his white male privilege germs

Omg lol! 😂😂😂

When did he? 🤔

😫🤣😭

His jax is badass tho

I have binged SO A 9 times plus original and love Jax, but throughout this video, I did not think of Jax once! The setting, beard, and accent pulled me back to reality. But did you ever notice when Jax did scenes in Ireland or with Irish his .CA accent would drift off a bit? 🤣🤣

I believe when he made Arthur he had to have a dialect coach help him sound more British because if playing Americans for so long

I was thinking the same thing! I had no idea that he wasn't American lol I never really thought about it tbh. I don't think about it often unless am accent is obvious. Or obviously being failed lol

Lindsey Lubeck you can kind of tell in the first couple seasons of SoA but after that he got it down. Now he needs help getting his British accent back lol

It's "wonga", and it means money

And here we come across the issue of defining words with words

Me 2

Not always. People don’t realize that that’s one of the meanings of it. A lot of people say it when they generally mean it.

Kieran Shae exactly. we Texans use that phrase as a weapon lol !

It’s both, it can be sympathetic or a dig in a nice way lol.

Literally

Not just women

Yep

Most audio books are actually read by serial killer Ed Kemper. 😁👻

I would be so well read! 😂 I would listen to every book ever lol

Yesssssss

Charlie needs to read a book and put me into bed🙊👀

Definitely not Tom Holland.

Agree 100%

@Free World don’t matter

@Free World Interesting. Are there some other mockney-examples like him?

@@brl987 Tom Holland might do well

Same as us Cockney's in London we use it as a term of endearment also, if not that everyone is a "Darling" 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Same here. I never use it to be ugly. Almost always to express sympathy for someone who is going through (or has gone through) a hard time.

It's same in England, people who mean it sincerely are generally over a certain age. If someone below an old age says it, they are definitely being condescending.

This is so stupid but I laughed so much.

😂

I think I'd've actually understood that lol.

My personal favourite is "y'all'll" as in "you all will"

I've been trying to say this for the past minute lmao

Me 2. Excellent Movie

Same

Now now... what you should have said was, "It would be absolutely wonderful to partake in his teachings!" All us Englishmen can take you through it. 🤣🤣

He has taught classes in movies, too. In ‘The Rewrite,’ he plays a professor at my alma mater, Binghamton University.

He almost did become one. After graduating with honors at Oxford he was offered another scholarship and was heading for a life in academia... but he was hired by Merchant Ivory to star in Maurice and that was it.

"Ganna tak' wor kid doon tha' pork for a reet canny kickaboot"

@@stephensaunders1984 Alreet divvent gan on aboot it hinny.

Lmao I felt exactly how they did 😂😂😂 and when he said his accent was coming back I'm pretty sure that word did it! Lol I was so confused. I'm glad you guys literally spelled it out 😂

@@alisonsmith4801 Why aye it was proper belta leek!!

I still have no idea what he was saying lol

In the black community, this is a compliment.

@@taylorsee864 In the Southern community this is a compliment. God, I hate MM. 🤢

I've always heard it referring to girls who are thick, but in a good way. 🤷‍♀️

@@jl-carter he is right tho, being "corn-fed"/fat slob, is not pretty nor healthy

Well I feel “mugged off” with the corn fed woman comment being spoken negatively..am I the only one?

So cute 🥰 🤣🤣🤣

I read this at the exact same time he said it. Very cute.

Haha very true

Love this comment

I agree!!!

This made me laugh so hard.

Dude. This comment. So eye opening. Like...Duuuuuuuude...YES...EXACTLY!

Very

Amazing isn’t it?! People getting old ... sheesh

I honestly think he looks better than ever. Silver fox!

🤢 I kindly disagree!

Zoe Skylar same I was thinking that too. And I think Matthew thought the same thing cus he looked confused

I never see it spelled that way. I guess I never see it spelled out at all, we just say it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ We like to use, “dog’gon et” or my mom’s favorite, “DAD’LAM IT!” (South Carolina) 🤣

Zoe Skylar or Dad Gummit in Texas

Daggumit

Daggone or doggone

Notting Hill was 20 years ago. Wow

Lol same. I was a bit taken aback.

I know!!!! Seen him on Graham Norton the other week im like whose the old guy 😂

To be fair the very bright lights here are doing him no favours at all. He's nearly sixty and aged fairely well and without surgery.

You have got to see him in Paddington 2. An aging actor who does dog food commercials and whose house is littered with pics of his younger, handsomer self. Anyone who can find humor in the aging process knows how to age gracefully.

dadgummit, dadnabbit, ummmm,

His accent is terrible, 'posh geordie' just doesn't sound good!

@@StabbyMcBlade I think he did canny TBH like. Bless his heart. ;)

@@loobylouboti haha don't get me wrong, i do like him, just can't stand to hear it well spoken, it sounds less offensive in its true common form, just like me...😂

What is geordie?

@@tiffany_adventures_2659 North East accent

Marcus Hedlund oooh! Makes more sense then. I'm so out of the loop☺️

@Marcus Hedlund one of his wife's, he has children with two or three woman and maintains separate families I think he just had another baby with an Oriental lady.

North East England, have you ever heard the Geordie accent, old English with a Scandinavian slant to it.

The north east of England is little Scandinavia thank you Vikings

He has a house in Torekov (almost Denmark 😉)...

I wonder how it got to be a compliment though. It didn't start out that way. Here is the etymology: geezer (n.) derisive word for an old man, 1885, according to OED a variant of obsolete Cockney guiser "mummer" (late 15c.; see guise) It seems like British people use it without respect to the personality or age of the person being identified as a geezer. I wonder why it changed to just mean a "person".

Well they didn't get that one wrong.

Lol, no it's not! Its never been a compliment. Greeting term maybe, but deffo not complimentary.

I wouldn't say it's a compliment in England. Maybe in the more 'low-brow' communities, but anyone more upper class would consider it an insult. A geezer would be a compliment of the context of one of the lads doing something extremely dumb in Ibiza with the other lads, who think it was hilarious

chessu it’s more like god help him he’s an idiot,

Omg yes

They really should have ! - Four geezers would've been a great 'Dish' !

Joe McKim He’s busy becoming Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin for The Batman.

@@MikeRiderOOO That will be amazing, Colin is just such a fun actor to watch. In Bruges is my favorite movie of his.

Joe McKim Yes my man!

Hello gorgeous Thanks for the utmost love moral support

Yep, rare I can say I love all of them ❤️

Might wanna visit the OBGYN.

Yeas! Omg! Dont know where to look at 😮😍

They’re all so perfect 💜

@@lauralunaazul Charlie

Not sure he does either 😂

its his father in the story. everyone referrs to him as Gaffer Gamgee.

Or peace even lol

@@philrowe9205 Epic LOL. Thanx 😃

love the term 'naugh-ee boys'

"ta ta ta ta ta"

come in peace or come for the peas?

Absolutely

He's very southern English. His type is not common across the UK

@@bl00dhoney yeah but then he's not common people; I think that's what makes him stand out even more

@@rafisadia1281 he is a common type in London or Sussex. But not in Anglesey or Aberdeen or Accrington. There's a huge amount of diversity in Britain and to call Grant "the epitome" of Britishness is highly problematic and classist.

@@bl00dhoney he's the ideal posh Englishman... there. Happy?

Totally Agree

This!

And Travis Fimmel pretty please?

Karla Grace Miro YES

Dude.... brilliant. Just saw this movie and its charlie’s best....

@@jordynhaynes4578 Yes, yes ohhhh yes! 😂

In all fairness, they didn't have much for American slang on this. :-(

Matthew disappointed with his answers. I hate it here.

@@hayleybrown1910 Uh, they hardly gave him any slides.

@@jannelaineeleodinmuo2442 That's because most american slang is English lol

Hello gorgeous Thanks for the utmost love moral support

Yep. Just Eric AGREED

Definitely

I agree except for the guy who played Matthew. I thought he was a weak actor, especially compared to the rest.

Distman Clarts also got me thinking if it could be related to the Swedish word ‘kladdig’. Wouldn’t be too far off, considering language will adapt quite a lot over time.

@@Nana_S_T Could be. Hard to say. According to Oxford dictionary Clart is a fairly new word; late 17 century. But still, words can exist for a long time before they bloom into the common tongue.

Also means "Spring" in norwegian.

Distman means the same in Norwegian, and probably danish as well, so it’s universally Scandinavian I guess.

@@Feral.Fables In Danish it would be 'vor' (or more modern 'vores'). So you're right 👍

Welcome to the club, love

Yes welcome to the club......I’ve been here a while! 😂

@@alle6621 It’s a fun club to be fair! 😂

I think I’ve had a crush on Charlie since Sons Of Anarchy.. Jax 😍

Who doesn't????

I was thinking Charlie and Travis Fimmel could play brothers!

he looks exactly like the dude on the tv show

Yes he looks like my cousins.

Yes!

Nicole Tunis He’s actually been kicked out of a bar once because Fimmel got in a bar fight in there, the owner thought they were the same person. Honestly, in my head canon, Vikings and Sons of Anarchy are in the same universe, Jax is a descendant of Ragnar. Considering Ubbe seems to be visiting America next season, it’s all just falling together. 😏

😂 I am pregnant. Due in April 🙈 this made me howl🤣

Hahaha

😂

Who’s the daddy?

@@zaulaa Charlie. And I've been through menopause....

We’d use “Ah,bless his cotton socks” in the same mixed way

Exactly

He meant it in a dear way. A Gentleman

I've always found it more condescending than anything else

The phrase in the condescending way like that, is still actually British

Thank you! I'm a Texan and wasn't sure what it meant.

I always hear it as in high cotton not tall cotton.

Tbh, we don't say it much in Texas. It's a Southern expression, not a Texan one. Plus Texas was never a cotton-producing powerhouse like The South. Cotton isn't so important to our culture like it is to Southerners.

South Carolinian here. The phrasing is actually “high cotton” for my area. But yes, that’s essentially what it means. Prosperous, in any sense.

I’ve always heard it used “hes shittin’ in tall cotton”

Jake Roark innit, it’s just kind of like a reconfirmation. You’re not really asking isn’t it or don’t it, I guess it’s kind of like “you know what I mean?” It’s just a casual, attempt at involving you more in the conversation innit

@Private Horler 4th Somerset yup basically aha
