New Yorkers Guess Northern English Slang 

Like im Northern and i haven't a bloody clue what half these slang words are 🤣

Am from the the north off England and iv not used half off these words

I always thought an English accent was same throughout England, then I realised that what non-UK peeps thought was an English accent was just referring to Londoners accents, cause I moved to Bradford for uni and MANNNNN, Northern accents are so different!! It's not that easy to understand lmaoo

I’ve lived in Leeds my entire life and I’ve genuinely only heard ginnel and pillock- where are they getting all these from?

Interesting fact: African-American Culture has a large amount of cultural heritage in Northern English/Celtic Culture. From Northern English/Celtic Culture came Poor Southern American Culture, which early African-Americans were surrounded by and learned from in the South. They then brought that with them into the cities when they were freed and created Ghetto Culture. So, there's actually a direct cultural line between the culture of African-Americans, such as those with their heritage in New York and the people of Northern England. Even if they don't have the updated slang. More you know 👍

No one says beltas you say a belter

I'm from Manchester and I havnt heard or say some of these

idk half of these ... I just know Geordie (the true north of England )

There is no such thing as Northern slang. Each of the examples given here are regional, and localized to one specific area of the North of England. That's why nobody from the North of England watching this video would have known all of them, (though most were easy enough to guess - even for Southerners.) I live in East Yorkshire, and there are hundreds of words used here, that people in West Yorkshire will never have heard of. (and that's only about 60 miles down the motorway.) For instance: Ginnel - well used in West Yorkshire and parts of Lancashire, but here on the East coast of Yorkshire we'd call the same thing a 'Tenfoot' and nobody out west would know what the hell we were talking about. England may be a small country from an American point of view, but as Americans who spend any time living here will confirm, we have a much more varied social culture over such a small area.

Every video about northern accents on yt always say weird shit that no one from the north has ever said🤦‍♂️

I feel like you should actually have someone northern behind this video so that you don't get words nobody has heard of and misspellings like beltas. Why make the effort to make the video and get it so wrong.

Everyone going on saying they've not heard of half of these in spite of being from the north but there's so many unique accents and dialects in the north just to name a few there's Geordie, Scouse, Mancunian, Sheffield of course a person from Manchester won't know the Geordie slang unless they've lived there or something. It's a variety of northern slang

“Beltas” you tried 😂😂😂😂 I’m also from the north and I’ve not heard half of these. Would of been nice to have a northerner in the video for better context

From Manchester and I’ve only really heard Ginnel, Mither and pillock. Mither’s the only one I’d use often tho haha

The Girl at 4:15 is so close to another word that looks similar! Gadgie means a man (usually an older man), but a similar word, 'radgie', means someone who you definitely "don't want to bother with" because they seem violent or aggressive.

I have no clue and I've lived in the UK all my life!

The 2 Mels of the Spuce Girls are from Northern England. Mel B -Leeds & Mel C-Liverpool

Im from the UK and I only knew about 3 or 4 of these.

Nobody: Americans: iS tHiS a sExUaL tErM?

Lmaooo now i can’t unthink clamming as a sexual term

you could say it’s new york vs york

The north is Liverpool up

I'm from Leeds originally.....this is cool

Yaggaa yeet

I'm from the North and i've not heard of most of these.

LOL

As a Geordie, we don't use these.

0:36 how did she know how to pronounce Birmingham properly lol Then she got it wrong immediately after

OMG LOL

no one uses 90% of this shit in north england. Come on buzzfeed, make an effort to get slang that people actually use today instead of what people used 150 years ago. I swear whenever these type of vids come up, they just look for the ones that no one's used for 100 years on purpose.

1st

Why give them examples? That has just ruined it...
