Your Guide to the Latest British Slang - Anglophenia Ep 33 

Never heard of peak as a positive term, and I'm from East London where a lot of this slang comes from. Usually means unlucky or generally bad. E.g "I just lost my job" "Aww mate that's well peak" Also bare is just a general modifier. Can also be used with peak, piff and jokes as well as a way of saying 'many' or 'lots of'. E.g "Oi mate there's baaaare traffic bruv innit"

I was scrolling to see how foreigners would react to the slang... It's only us Brits watching this video 😂😂😂

"Reem" is the worst word ever coined. Anyone who uses it outside Essex deserves a punch in the face. They also need to get a life, being influenced by the trashiest of trash TV

She ain't bovered.

MAN SHE'S CUTE!

Half of these words I've actually never heard anyone use, apart from well jell, and bare jokes. Reem is pretty old and no-one really uses anymore... Things like 'banter' 'cheeky nandos' and 'hench' (rather than Dench) should be up there as well, I hear them being used all the time!

Most vulgar British insult: "Sir, I am thoroughly appalled by your condescending demeanor"

How about some cheeky Nando's?

i'm from the town where towie is film and legit no one says 'reem' at all. also everyone here hates the towie lot

I'm 25 and haven't heard of half of these. "What are these whippersnappers on about?!" *shakes fist*

Must be southern slang. I know of some of these words, but I never hear them.

Some of these are wrong for example Dench means strong/muscley, peak means harsh - From your local 17 year old ;)

Where's banter?

Please don't use these terms unless you want to sound like a drug dealer from Brixton...

Kate could actually make up any word she wants, and I would buy it. She is so... convincing.

Noone says 'fresh' are you alright?

Peak is when something bad happens to someone else "that's peak fam "

I'm from London and I've never heard dench being used that way, me and everyone I know use it for someone that's physically fit/ strong but not necessarily fit looking, although the they usually are

I'm British, but I moved to America when I was 16. When I came back at 18 for uni, I had to ask what "peak" meant in context, because everyone was saying it and I had no idea why. That one cropped up pretty fast.

i barely knew any of those words and my friends speak in skang. alot. and i live in england

British people are thought of as well spoken and posh, but the opposite is true....

I live in Aberdeen and everyone I know uses the word shan. It can mean good or bad depending on the tone. and It can be used as both an adjective or expression.

I barely know any of these slang terms thankfully

I love this series so much! Very educational! Thanks! You look great, btw! Love ya! :D

Hi from Brazil! your accent is the best, learning a lot with you. More videos, please!

I have never heard a real person say any of those words. But here are a couple of variants of one well used slang term that means Good/Great/The Best. In its crudest for it is The Dogs Bollocks, nodding to the Reverend Spooner it becomes The Bog Dollocks, moderating slightly for polite society it shifts to being The Dogs Danglies and making it 'youth speak' friendly it is reduced to simply The Dogs.

Kate is just too much cuteness for me to handle...

you always upbeat and got a charisma, bless you!!:)))

A few other ones for you Gassed=hyped/excited/happy mandem=males gyaldem=females roadman=gangster skeng=weapon peng/buff/piff= goodlooking or sexy butters = ugly man like *insert name here* = is used to congratulate someone I rate you = I like you Bangs = when something is good or popular Snaked = done something bad behind someones back Eazii = thanks(manchester) Safe = thanks Alie = agreed (snm)Say no more = okay, I gotcha / agreed creps= shoes garms = clothes (comes from the word garments) Rave = party Skeen = understood / alright Wagwan = How are you? / What's going on? Shout = party(Manchester) Bell =call Riddim = music Man = this is the most confusing as it can be used to describe yourself e.g 'I don't care' = 'Man don't care' can be used to describe someone else e.g 'He doesn't care' = 'Man doesn't care'

What about Banta? Or wasn't that around yet bc I know Banta was a massive thing

Dear Americans, I got as far as the first two and so far, no, no, just no. Please don't say 'Reem' that term is not used anymore, it passed away and is pushing up daisies. Also no one says Dench anymore either.

I am British and I've never heard any of these...

I like Kate and all, but I wish she could do more diverse topics. So far, most of her videos are about food/drinks and vocabulary.

I'm Dominican and find anglophenia lovely as you British would say I enjoy it to much

Holy hell that girl has a gorgeous smile .. I don't even know what you're talking about ..

She hypnotizes me with her look and her accent. God...

I love the way you say, “Innit?” for “Isn’t it?.”

I love the way she gyrates when she reads the Riot Act

Reem is a popular female name in Arabic and is a name of a kind of Arabian deer too

Can't wait for more episodes...

Kate is gorgeous.

I could hear her talk all day! That voice, combined with that accent! Damn!

Bumbaclart.

Lol, we've used the term "bare jokes" in Barbados for ages and in the same context. Actually, we use "bare" before lots of words, as to indicate the level or quantity of something.

What happened to Siobhan?

Reem is weird to me as an american. Here getting "reemed" is synonymous with getting chewed out or basically yelled at by a superior, usually your boss.

From California, I'm digging the posh use of "Oy"! Unintentionally HILARIOUS!

I am an American. And I find your British slang just peachy. Hope there is more like restaurants, motor cars and trucks including apartments. Using another countries slang here in the US people tend to think had too much Ale. OK, on the other hand Kate you are one good looking lady without the harsh deep Brit accent. I know I know not a chance in the world ; ) it's okay though.

she didn't get the definition of peak right. Peak originated in London from when the tubes would be at 'peak' time making it more expensive and crowded. From this the word evolved in to meaning 'sad' 'shame' or 'bad', you would generally use it when something bad or annoying happens. 'oh that's peak'. It is also regularly used in a jokey mocking way. 'haha peak' 'peak times for you mate'

Only subscribed like 10mins ago and already love your videos kate

yeah um now its more like peng

I'm a British teen and I still love watching all these videos 😄😂

We say a lot of these in Canada, or at least we used to. "Bare jokes" was probably the most common, but I haven't heard anyone say it in a while,

Living in Essex we use all of these everyday!

You are GORGEOUS!

Kate, I've always heard the expression "Oh, lawdy" in British English, even heard it in a U2 song. Always wondered what that might be, but never found the meaning. Is it something like "blimey"?

I'm from Nottingham, which is in the East Midlands of the UK, and the typical slang words I hear and use around here are 'Peak', 'Fam' (friend/ acquaintance) 'Piff/ Piff-ting' (good, amazing or a word for weed) butters (good body, ugly face, or just generally unattractive) and proberbly some others that I can't remember. We used to use 'Peng' or 'peng-a-leng' a lot when I was at school, which is a positive adjective for anything really, but I haven't heard it much over the past year...

"The cat that got the reem..." Trying to hold back my laughter because I see "reem" but I keep hearing "ream".

She is a great host for this show.

Slang has always been really interesting to me, but I've gotta say, watching Kate talk about it just feels, well, awkward.

These words in my opinion Dench: Yes, used often. Same meaning as hench Reem: NO, HAVE NEVER HEARD SOMEONE IRL USE THAT TERM (I live in essex) Wel Jel: Even worse than reem. Never gets used Peak: All the time but only in the context of something being bad or harsh Chirpsing: sometimes but only in the form of texting Sharking: Never heard of it

I pretty much love her face... and accent.

Am I the only person who doesn't use/like most modern slang? I usually speak using older vocabulary and I honestly get peeved when these words come into existence that have no reason to…especially thanks to some celebrity just randomly speaking gibberish…

my favorites are "innit" and "bruv" XD

Okay... but what about "pip pip cheerio?" That's still a thing, right?

"we Brits"?! Please don't make people think we actually use those words! I've only ever heard a couple of them outside of this video! (There is no denying Joey Essex!)

Dench means heavy-set or large in the north.

This episode was well good

You can also say that someone is "on the chirps someone" meaning they are flirting and may probably go out. But yeah, hearing all this slang reminds me of a friend who always talks like that and it is strange hahah

Ahahah I am just discovering your channel, this is so cool :)

These are mostly Essex words. I live there and i hear them quite a lot.

You need to try and explain what a 'cheeky nandos' is next.

These are London/Essex slang words. Chirpsing has been around for at least 25 years.

I was aware of 'peek' and 'bare', but the rest were news to me.

No one says these words anymore. A normal sentence one of the people at my school would say is "Oi did you see that mad goal i scored in football on tuesday? absolute madness bruv."

Do an episode about completely unique accents in the uk, especially Cumbrian, the Cumbrian accent is amazing

Peak means mean actually

Speaking as an 18yr old from the greater london/Essex area Dench: yes, dame meaning as hench Reem:NOPE, NO ONE USES THIS IRL ONLY JOEY ESSEX ON THE SHOW Wel Jel: Same as reem, never used in real life Peak: Used all the time but only in a negative context such as something being bad or harsh. Never hear it in a positive context Chirpsing: occasionaly heard though only through texting Sharking: Never heard of it Bare jokes: always used, to the point where I dont think of it as slang. Usually just "jokes" by itself, no "bare" e.g. "That's so jokes"

The guy who singlehandedly coined Dench is a sodding rotter.

This is the first Anglophenia I didn't finish as I could feel millions of my brain cells rapidly dying as I watched the first minute or two.

Wherever I pause the video, she still looks cute. It's the Audrey Hepburn/young Julie Andres pixie look. And her accent is posh enough to enjoy for a while. Nice video, this.

Can't say I've ever heard any of these up here in the Grim North East

Some of this hasn't reached the south west yet - this is mostly a guide to London slang

I didn't know many of these because I am old and from Lancashire.

Reem! For an Englishman living for years outside the UK, this actually helps a lot, dench!

I live in Britain and use absolutely none of these. They really are considered southern England slang more than anything and you could pretty much guess where someone was from by just by them using it. I live in the north and we don't use any of that at all. Given that Kate speaks with RP (received pronunciation) as an accent that is only used by about 2% of the population it isn't really proper representation of how we speak, slang or not!

Nice I guess this could be an interest for foreigners living in England. Regards from Syria

Brit here - don't use 'Reem' or 'Well Jel' unless you want who you are talking to to think you're an utter idiot - nobody taken seriously uses them

In my area, Dench means muscular, and it comes from bench press, if you bench you'll be Dench

I'm 19, British and I don't use any of those words! Granted I have definitely heard them all before but they're not as popular as she made out!

I'm in my early 20s and I've never used or heard of these...I work with kids and I have heard any of them say this...

Should be called l Your Guide To The Chav Dictionary

In the county of Hereford, we all say 'Sluggin' when someone is flirting with someone else... Kery Keech

What's Cheeky Nandos? -mate it's hard to explain mate it's like u r hanging out wif ur frends and u wanna hit some curry's the Spoons' but den Calum who's an absolute ledge and the bishop of banterbury is like "brevs lets get some cheeky nandos instead" and ur like "top. lets smash it"

I am British and live in Britain and I had never heard of half of those slang words.

Kate is a really good presenter.

Almost no one from Essex is like what you see in TOWIE.

I recently was in England and I heard Gordon Bennett

I ve never heard any of these in the North..possibly this video should 've been titled " New British slang that people under the age of 20 who live in or around London possibly use"

these are mainly used where i am (london)
