Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to ''Guess the Slang''

with your host, Mr. Mitch.

Hello and welcome to a new episode of ''Guest the Slang Words'',

where contestants battle it out,

to figure out who's a right clever clogs

and who's a total twit.

Before we meet the contestants,

let's meet my fabulous assistant, Isi!

Thank you Isi!

Now, let's meet the contestants!

Hello Mitchell.

Hello, Isi.

Contestant number one, what's your name?

Where are you from?

And what do you do?

I'm Cari and I'm from Germany.

I do Easy German.

Hello Cari.

Now please test your buzzer.

Well let's hope you'll be springing to victory.

Contestant number two,

what's your name?

Where are you from?

And what do you do?

My name is Janusz.

I come from Poland.

And what do you do!?

I do Easy German.

We got there in the end, now test your buzzer.

I beg your pardon.

Now, are you ready for round one?

Here we go.

Hands on the table.

Okay, round one, question one.

Give me the definition for the noun;

git.

And you spell it?

G-I-T?

I know this word from the Yiddish language.

And it means good.

I'm so sorry Janusz, but you're incorrect.

The real definition of a ''git'',

is an unpleasant or horrible person.

Question two.

I want to know the definition for the adjective;

minted.

Minted means erm...

being kind of, dressed to kill.

Being like, erm...

clothed...

like when you dress very elegantly for some reason.

Ah!

Wrong again Janusz.

''Minted'' is to describe someone who is rich,

or has lots of money.

Okay, question three.

Please define for me, the exclamation;

ta.

Just... just taking a guess,

it means...

it's like an expression of like, surprise.

Like... or look at... look at that.

Like, wow.

Basically like, wow.

Oh, wrong answer.

It's actually a short way to say ''thank you''.

Okay, let's see if we can get a right answer with question four.

I'm looking for the definition for the noun;

loo.

Was?

What!?

Yeah, it's a toilet.

Ah yes!

I know this one!

Correct!

Janusz gets the first points on the board.

It does mean the toilet!

Okay, define the noun;

chinwag.

Someone who is overthinking things.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

The real answer is, it's a chat.

Okay now, the next question.

Define the contraction;

innit.

This is...

I saw it in your...

today, I saw a video from you, about British bands.

And the guy said innit.

innit; isn't it?

Isn't it; Innit?

I knew this!

- Yeah, yeah, watch his videos!

Then you will know!

- I knew it!

Congratulations Janusz!

You are correct.

Okay, the next word I need you to define, is the adjective;

chock-a-block.

It's kind of like, in a... in... in American English,

you say Rockafella.

Like, shock a block, shock a person.

You have a good fantasy Janusz.

You have to help yourself somehow.

So chock-a-block, so you can choke a blok...

Choke a bloke!?

Oh, incorrect again.

Chock-a-block is a way to describe a scene,

which is busy or full of people or things.

Okay, next question.

Define for me, the adjective;

wonky.

It's like crooked.

Ah, wonky.

Okay, congratulations.

Correct!

Congratulations Cari.

For another point, Okay, the last word.

I want you to define for me, the noun;

bog roll.

It's a toilet paper.

Correct!

That is right.

It's toilet paper!

Okay, that's the end of a long round one.

Isi, what are the scores?

Janusz has three, Cari has one.

Congratulations to Janusz for taking the early lead.

Let's move on to round two... after the break.

Jesus, English is crazy.

Welcome back to round two, Cockney rhyming slang.

I want you, Cari, to tell me;

what is Cockney rhyming slang for a German?

Is it;

A.

The postman.

B. Ben Sherman.

C. The Invisible Man.

Or D. Dustin Hoffman?

Wow, it's Dustin Hoffman.

Dustin Hoffman...

But why would it be Dustin Hoffman?

Or maybe not, I don't know.

Ah!

The German... but ''the postman'' doesn't make sense.

''Invisible (man)'' doesn't make sense.

Ben Sherman could be it.

- Could be.

But Dustin Hoffman is funny and Cockney is about being funny.

But then the slang, it's about...

like, something sounds like something else.

So I'd go for Ben Sherman.

Congratulations, it's Ben Sherman.

Now Janusz, the same for you.

What is Cockney rhyming slang for a Pole?

Is it;

A. China bowl.

B. Rock'n'roll.

C. A Swiss roll.

Or D. Ar***ole?

It's an er...

what was the first one?

- China bowl.

China bowl, no.

Is it As**ole, no.

Rock'n'roll, no.

What was the third one?

Swis...

Swiss roll.

Oh, it's difficult.

I would go for... for ''Ar***ole'',

but I think in... in Cockney,

you need ar***ole for ar***ole things.

So you... you know, you wouldn't want people to...

to think that you are telling about a Pole,

when you just shout at somebody; ''you Ar***ole''.

So, it's kind of difficult.

So I go for the Swiss roll.

I would have guessed the same

Congratulations to you both,

Isi, scores!

Janusz and Cari both got one point.

Okay now, let's move on to our final round.

Okay, here we go, question one.

Define to me the phrase;

waffle on.

Just talk... talking.

Angrily, yeah.

Blah blah.

It's like...

That's what Janusz always does.

He's like, waffling on and on and on.

Okay, here's your next phrase.

Are you ready?

Define;

chalk and cheese.

I think it could be kind of, a hot dog,

where you put a cheese on it,

they have hot dogs with additional cheese.

And so you would chalk a...

you know what chalk is?

It's like, what you write on...

- Oh, chalk.

Write with on a board.

- Ah.

Chalk and cheese; to describe two things

that are completely opposites.

Now I want something with cheese.

Okay, question three.

Define;

pop your clogs.

Pop your clogs.

Pop your clogs?

Yeah, maybe it is... pop your clogs.

Just... just er... put your shoes off.

Why would there be a slang for that?

Or just you... you come to my apartment and I said like;

''yeah, pop your shoe... your clogs off''.

Oh!

Pop your clogs is a way to describe dying.

Uh, no!

So somewhere, the meaning is also like, take your shoes off.

But...

Okay, the next phrase is;

full of beans.

like you...

it's a farting person.

is it like a polite way to say; ''full of s**t''?

It actually means; full of energy.

Argh!

Here we go, the next phrase is;

one in the oven.

Being pregnant.

Yeah, sure...

- Yay!

F**k sure.

That was good.

- It came from my mind!

Here we go!

Are you ready for the last question?

Okay.

What!

Our night is over?

Define the phrase;

the dog's bo***cks.

Dog's bo***cks is just er...

when something is extremely stupid and you say;

''argh, that's the dog's boll... dog's bo***cks''.

Oh, okay.

It's the latest s**t!

(On no, I stole that one away from you)

Congratulations.

No no, you... you deserved it.

That's the end of the round and tonight's quiz.

Isi, what are the scores?

... and I don't even get paid for this.

Erm...

this round;

Cari got three points, Janusz got zero.

Well done, Cari.

Are we done now?

That means that tonight's winner is...

Cari, with four points!

Congratulations Cari and commiserations Janusz!
