05:39
water mr steve insists on buying bottled  water i don't know why but he always says  
12
339120
7600
05:46
the water is more pure if you buy it in the  bottle i'm not sure how true that is but
13
346720
7120
06:00
it's not too bad although to be honest with you  i can never tell the difference between water  
14
360320
6000
06:06
from the water tap and water from a bottle  that has been bought in a supermarket to  
15
366320
9520
06:15
be honest with you what about you do you  normally get your water straight from the tap  
16
375840
4960
06:21
is the water safe to drink where you are some  people in this country believe that water is  
17
381920
5760
06:27
dangerous if you drink it from the tap i don't  think that's true to be honest with you so i don't  
18
387680
6720
06:34
know why the the the habit of buying water in  bottles is so it's it's is so common and preferred

11:49
apologies once again for the lack of live  captions i don't know what is happening  
53
709280
6560
11:56
but i did activate them at the start of the  live stream so before i go on i have to make  
54
716560
6720
12:03
sure everything is activated and working however  i don't know why the live captions are not working  
55
723280
8400
12:11
at the moment i can only assume  that it is the fault of youtube  
56
731680
6560
12:18
and not me i really hope so hello magdalena  hello to you as well thanks for joining me today
57
738240
9040
12:29
oh by the way yes we have some comments on  water so at the start of my live stream i had  
58
749360
6000
12:35
to drink some water to soothe my throat because  i have been using it quite a lot during the past  
59
755360
6560
12:42
three or four weeks to be honest with you  i've done quite a few of these live streams  
60
762720
6000
12:49
and it does take its toll on  my throat a little bit i drink  
61
769360
6160
12:56
bottled water we often buy bottled water says  mohsen magdalena says i drink mostly tap water  
62
776640
9200
13:07
of course it is easy to assume that you  can drink the water straight from the tap  
63
787040
8560
13:15
of course not not every country is able to  do that so bottled water around the world is  
64
795600
7120
13:22
quite popular anyway however here in the  uk tap water water straight from the tap  
65
802720
7360
13:30
or the faucet is safe to drink although  there are some people who don't trust it  
66
810080
6080
13:36
i'm not sure why but some people have some  rather strange opinions to be honest with you
67
816960
7600
13:46
yes we drink bottled water no particular  brand normally mr steve chooses  
68
826640
5600
13:53
one of the the cheap brands of bottled water to  be honest with you i can't tell the difference  
69
833520
8400
14:01
palmyra says i often drink water with lemon  hmm i think that's a good idea hello also to  
70
841920
6720
14:10
sandra gonzalez alessandra nice  to see you both here today as well  
71
850400
5440
14:17
a bunny hello a bunny in my country  drinking tap water is very dangerous  
72
857760
6720
14:25
i remember when i was living in china and also  other places that i've visited in the past  
73
865920
5040
14:31
quite often they advise you or they advise  me when i was traveling there they told me  
74
871520
9040
14:40
not to drink the water from the tap because it  is i don't think it is completely safe to drink  
75
880560
9200
14:51
completely maybe you can drink it but perhaps  if you do you are taking a little bit of a risk  
76
891120
7200
14:58
christina do you like sparkling  water that is strange because i do  
77
898320
6160
15:05
if i have a drink during a meal that is not tea  or coffee quite often i will have sparkling water  
78
905600
7920
15:14
i don't know why but i i like the bubbles i  like the effervescence of the water i like  
79
914160
8400
15:22
it i like the sparkly nature of water that has  been carbonated it has the little bubbles that  
80
922560
10400
15:33
burst as you pour the water out i like  that it's almost like drinking champagne  
81
933520
6320
15:41
but without the champagne  sadly hello also to claudia  
82
941520
5920
15:48
claudia hello claudia i'm i'm happy to see  you here i hope you've sorted your problem  
83
948000
6160
15:54
out that you had i won't mention it here but i did  receive your email telling me about your problem  
84
954160
7760
16:03
has it been solved i hope it has beatrice says we  need to drink bottled water because the tap one  
85
963360
10800
16:14
or the tap water is very bad here says  beatrice so around the world maybe it is safe  
86
974160
7280
16:21
or maybe it isn't safe to drink tap water i think  here in this country i think it's relatively safe  
87
981440
8080
16:30
although there are some people who have their own  opinions about the water in this country hello  
88
990400
7600
16:38
guadalupe nice to see you here as well nice to see  you all in the live stream together simultaneously
89
998000
7600
16:47
i like that word simultaneous something that is  occurring at the same time things are occurring  
90
1007600
9120
16:57
at the same time they are happening  at the same moment simultaneously
91
1017280
7680
17:08
says in iraq we drink water  from bottles because the tap  
92
1028000
4240
17:12
water is dirty interesting i think that is  actually quite interesting we have lots of  
93
1032240
6720
17:19
what we call water treatment plants so in various  areas normally near local towns or in cities  
94
1039520
8480
17:28
or even where i live very close to where  i live there is a small water treatment  
95
1048880
7120
17:36
plant there is a place where the water or  should i say the dirty water i think you know  
96
1056000
8800
17:44
what i'm talking about all of the dirty water is  filtered and purified over a long period of time  
97
1064800
8000
17:54
vitas says we have clean and tasty water flowing  from our tap good good for you i like that i don't  
98
1074480
9760
18:04
mind to be honest if i have a cup of tea  or a cup of coffee i normally just use the  
99
1084240
5680
18:09
water straight from the tap so i'm not really all  that worried even though mr steve mr steve often
100
1089920
8320
18:20
gets rather paranoid about such things hello  tomek it's almost the end of the quick fix how  
101
1100400
8800
18:29
has it been for you mr duncan well i've  enjoyed it i have to be honest with you  
102
1109200
5040
18:34
in fact i must say over the past week so  when i was doing it last week and this week  
103
1114880
6960
18:42
i was actually starting to feel  quite relaxed about doing it
104
1122640
4000
18:49
and i'm reminded of all of the comments  i received a couple of weeks ago  
105
1129920
6320
18:56
from people saying mr duncan please do it every  day can you please do it every day forever  
106
1136240
5600
19:03
but i'm not sure how i feel about that because  you know what life is like life is unpredictable  
107
1143360
7840
19:11
things can suddenly happen maybe my situation  changes maybe something happens that i have to  
108
1151200
6880
19:18
attend to and i won't be able to join  you so it has been fun i must admit  
109
1158080
6640
19:26
i i feel rather excited in the morning when i  wake up and i know that i'm going to be here  
110
1166320
8080
19:34
spending a little bit of time with you so yes  it's it's it's been fun i have to be honest
111
1174400
8400
19:47
hello mutas we have the cl we have the cleanest  water in saudi arabia especially in mecca it is  
112
1187200
9760
19:56
called zamzam oh i like the sound of that maybe  you can send me some of it hello navi nav neet  
113
1196960
8080
20:06
hello to you as well maria talking about  water have you heard what happened in  
114
1206880
6160
20:14
Catania yesterday we had a dramatic  flood and someone died terrible news  
115
1214480
6160
20:21
if you search on youtube you will see the terrible  images flooding has been a big problem this year  
116
1221360
8800
20:30
in many parts of the world even in places that  don't normally get flooding i know in greece and  
117
1230160
8000
20:38
across southern europe a lot of places have been  suffering badly with flooding and it does sound as  
118
1238160
9360
20:47
if it's something that is happening more often  maybe one of the things that will be discussed  
119
1247520
5280
20:53
this weekend because all of the world leaders  are coming together to once more solve  
120
1253600
8240
21:02
the climate problem the only problem is i  don't think they will so the climate problem  
121
1262720
6560
21:09
as far as i'm concerned is the fact that  the problem is no one is willing to make any  
122
1269280
8880
21:18
big sacrifices to put things right and  by sacrifices i mean big sacrifices
123
1278160
7680
21:27
if you offered the choice to a country economic  wealth or saving the environment you will often  
124
1287840
12560
21:40
find that economic wealth and stability  will come first it will come at the top  
125
1300400
7360
21:47
of the list so maybe that is part of the  problem part of the environmental problem  
126
1307760
6640
21:55
might be of the big countries around the  world the rich countries not being willing  
127
1315360
7280
22:03
to make sacrifices and by that i mean big  changes in the way we live so i think it is
128
1323680
8160
22:13
something that is not easy to solve and to be  honest with you i think these meetings these  
129
1333920
7120
22:21
conferences quite often are just a waste of time  it's just my opinion i don't know what you think
130
1341040
8000
22:31
hello to addie hello adi nice to see you here  yes we do have an anagram today a new anagram  
131
1351200
8480
22:39
on my microphone something  special is happening to me
132
1359680
5120
22:47
that is why i have an extra big smile on  my face today i think so yes well when i  
133
1367200
7680
22:54
say sacrifice i mean big sacrifices maybe we we  will have to force people to only own one car  
134
1374880
7920
23:02
per family so many families here in the  uk i'm using this country as an example  
135
1382800
7360
23:10
it is not unusual for for many households to have  two three or maybe even four cars per household  
136
1390160
11680
23:22
so maybe that's one of the things we could try and  put right but it would mean making big sacrifices  
137
1402560
7520
23:30
so you might say each household can only  have one car instead of three or four  
138
1410640
6720
23:38
so those sacrifices that i'm talking about  are ones that will change our way of life  
139
1418720
7440
23:47
make things a little more difficult or harder  
140
1427520
2800
23:51
but i don't think that's ever going to  happen and even environmentally friendly cars  
141
1431280
6160
23:59
cause their own amount of damage they cause their  own damage to the environment because of course  
142
1439440
6560
24:06
they have to be made they have to be built in  factories you see you have to use steel to build  
143
1446000
8960
24:14
the cars and you have to make the steel and a  tremendous amount of energy is used to make steel  
144
1454960
10560
24:26
and then of course you have the batteries  that are inside the electric cars and they are
145
1466240
6480
24:35
they are at the moment they can't be recycled
146
1475040
2720
24:42
and all of the chemicals that exist inside these  new batteries have to be dug up from the from the  
147
1482800
8240
24:51
earth there is one particular place in china one  of the worst places on the planet for pollution is  
148
1491040
8000
24:59
in china and it's actually the place where i used  to live when i lived in china it's the same place
149
1499040
5440
25:07
so i don't think i don't think anyone really  wants to make any sacrifices or compromises  
150
1507200
7200
25:15
but yes we do have the cop 20 is it  24 or 26 24 i think it is the cop 24  
151
1515840
8720
25:25
this weekend we will see what happens  hello to the live chat nice to see you here  
152
1525840
6640
25:33
i hope you got your notification today by  the way we're talking about something funny  
153
1533440
5440
25:39
something nice something that might put a smile on  your face especially if you are a person who likes  
154
1539680
6800
25:46
giving names to other people so when we think  about pet names what do we normally think about  
155
1546480
10480
25:56
well i think about the name that you give to  your your pet dog or your pet cat but it is also  
156
1556960
7920
26:04
possible to give names to your partner or other  people in your life so quite often we will use  
157
1564880
10320
26:15
pet names and by pet name i mean a name  that we give to a person we are close to  
158

159
1584400

not many people want to talk about it i think so  not many people want to talk about the environment  
160
1593920
5920
26:41
i think a lot of people are bored to be honest  i think every time they turn their television  
161
1601200
5520
26:46
on someone is talking about environmental damage  however i think everyone has become a little bored  
162
1606720
8240
26:54
with the subject even though in many cases and  in many situations we might actually live long  
163
1614960

1788240
6800
29:57
so we are talking about names that we often  give to people maybe a person who is close  
187
1797920
5840
30:03
to us maybe someone we are attached to  perhaps a person we are in love with
188
1803760
9600
30:16
perhaps so today we are looking at something  that i think we've covered this before maybe  
189
1816720
7120
30:23
a couple of years ago but we are doing it today  we're looking at pet names so these are not names  
190
1823840
7600
30:32
for your cat or dog or rabbit or hamster these  are actually names that you give to your partner  
191
1832720
8320
30:41
or someone you are close to so when we talk about  pet names a pet name is a term of affection given  
192
1841040
10320
30:51
to a lover or life partner as a sign of the close  bond between them so a couple who are together  
193
1851360
8560
30:59
maybe they are married maybe they are dating maybe  they are fond of each other maybe they are falling  
194
1859920
9120
31:09
in love it is not unusual for two people involved  in a relationship to come up with names for each  
195
1869040
10640
31:19
other so besides their normal name they quite  often have a name that they give to their partner
196
1879680
8320
31:31
here's another one
197
1891120
720
31:34
love or affection is expressed through the giving  of a pet name so you give a pet name to a person  
198
1894480
8240
31:43
as a way of showing love or affection you are  expressing your love for someone by giving them  
199
1903920
7680
31:52
a pet name i like it i wonder if you have a pet  name for your partner we will find out later  
200
1912400
7840
32:00
it is often referred to as a term of endearment  endearment quite often is a phrase or word we use  
201
1920960
10160
32:11
to show affection so it is often referred  to as a term of endearment a pet name a  
202
1931840
10320
32:22
name that you give to your husband your wife your  girlfriend your boyfriend your significant other
203
1942160
6240
32:31
i like that one i love that phrase by the  way a lot of people use that nowadays i have  
204
1951040
7200
32:38
a significant other not a wife or husband  girlfriend boyfriend but a significant other  
205
1958240
9760
32:49
a person in my life who is  important isn't that nice
206
1969280
3120
32:54
we are getting some messages coming through now  oh mayuri says i found my nickname in japanese  
207
1974560
10800
33:06
it means browse so when you say browse do  you mean eyebrows do you mean the word for  
208
1986560
10240
33:16
eyebrows the things that sit above your eyes  it is often referred to as a term of endearment  
209
1996800
11040
33:29
let's have a look at some popular pet names shall  we maybe maybe in this list you will see maybe one  
210
2009520
9760
33:39

33:53

212
2033680
10400
34:04

213
2044080
7120
34:15

214
2055120
6640
34:22

215

10640
34:33

216
2073360
8480
34:43
so we often give pet names to people these are not  
217
2083840
4400
34:48
names that we give to animals these are names  that we give to other people who we are close to
218
2088240
13600
35:04
oh dear here's another one
219
2104240
2240
35:09
honeykins honeykins you are my honeykins my  honeykins is my only love your honeykins is also  
220
2109200
15040
35:24
a pet name a pet name for another person a person  you are in love with a person you are close to in  
221
2124240
11440
35:35
a romantic way here's another one quite often pet  names will sound childish childish or infantile
222
2135680
9840
35:47
for example shmookie hello shmookie you are my  shmookie i like to cuddle up at night with my  
223
2147680
12400
36:00
shmookie hello shmookie there is nothing worse  than listening to a phone conversation between  
224
2160080
8160
36:08
two people who are in love maybe they are dating  and quite often one we will tell the other person  
225
2168240
8000
36:16
to put the phone down because they are ending  the conversation no you put the phone down first  
226
2176240
7280
36:24
no you put the phone down no no you  hang up first no no you hang up first  
227
2184400
7680
36:34
no no you hang up first yes you go first no you  oh dear and it seems to go on and on forever there  
228
2194080
10640
36:44
is nothing worse than that have you ever done  that i think everyone is getting the wrong idea
229
2204720
9120
36:55
it's not the pen it's not the name of  pets it's the name we give to our lovers  
230
2215520
5600
37:02
so not pet names like rover or fido nothing like  that here's another one what about love a girl  
231
2222160
11280
37:13
or lover boy oh you are my lover girl you are  my lover boy hello love a girl hello lover boy  
232
2233440
10080
37:25
i'm sure it happens sometimes  
233
2245520
2320
37:29
what about honey ah you are my honey i really  love you my honey honey can i have a cup of tea  
234
2249360
12880
37:44
you might ask your partner for some favor or  something you want something you desire you  
235
2264080
7440
37:51
might say honey is it okay if if if you make a cup  of coffee for me can i have a cup of coffee honey  
236
2271520
7440
38:00
so quite often if we want  something from our partner  
237
2280640
3200
38:04
maybe we will use the pet name  as a way of getting them to do it
238
2284640
5680
38:12
hello udom hello mr duncan from  the old man in bangkok mohsen  
239
2292480
7040
38:20
says my sweetheart that's a good one  my sweetheart you are my sweetheart
240
2300080
12240
38:32
a pet name can be anything relating to the person  in question so when we say that it can relate to  
241
2312320
8240
38:40
the way a person appears or maybe a characteristic  some part of their personality so a pet  
242
2320560
7200
38:47
name can quite often relate to part of that  person's appearance personality or maybe it is  
243
2327760
10080
38:57
a secret word that only you know about quite often  in relationships especially close relationships  
244
2337840
9040
39:06
there might be a magic pet name that both  people in the relationship call each other  
245
2346880
8080
39:16
and maybe they want to keep it a secret mayor says  yes there is there is an aunt and she always calls  
246
2356400
8160
39:24
my brother honey yes i suppose in families within  families where there is a close relationship you  
247
2364560
8080
39:32
might also find that there are pet names one  of the strange pet names that i always remember  
248
2372640
6880
39:40
my my elder sister my elder sister i don't  know why but they used to call my my parents  
249
2380080
8240
39:48
used to call my elder sister fred and i i  never worked out why i never found out why  
250
2388320
8880
39:57
but my elder sister called april my  parents would often call her fred
251
2397760
6800
40:06
i i have no idea why
252
2406880
2960
40:12
a mannerism can be part of someone's  personality so maybe if your boyfriend  
253
2412960
8560
40:21
perhaps he can't sit still maybe he's always  moving and fidgeting and moving around maybe  
254
2421520
8400
40:29
you will call your boyfriend twitchy he calls  me twitchy or she calls me twitchy because i'm  
255
2429920
10480
40:40
always moving i can never sit still so sometimes  a pet name can relate to a person's mannerisms  
256
2440400
8000
40:48
or their personality the way they behave  maybe they have a habit that they keep doing
257
2448400
6560
40:58
an aspect of a person's appearance  might also be related to  
258
2458400
7440
41:06
a pet name you give a pet name to your girlfriend  because she looks like a famous celebrity or maybe  
259
2466720
7280
41:14
you give a pet name to your boyfriend because he  looks like a famous celebrity she calls me brucie
260
2474000
8240
41:25
because she says i look like bruce springsteen
261
2485200
3280
41:33
you could also call him the boss i suppose  because that is actually the nickname  
262
2493600
4800
41:39
that bruce springsteen has as well so they  call him the boss you see so you might call  
263
2499040
5920
41:44
your boyfriend brucie or bruce or the boss if  he looks a little bit like bruce springsteen  
264
2504960
8880
41:53
so that can also be a type of pet name if your  boyfriend or girlfriend looks like someone  
265
2513840
6400
42:00
famous a pet name might be a version of  someone's real name so you might use a pet name  
266
2520240
8000
42:09
as some sort of version of a person's  actual real name for example he calls me  
267
2529760
9920
42:20
wren because my name is jenny you see jenny jenny  wren so maybe in a relationship if your girlfriend  
268
2540320
11040
42:31
if her name is jenny you might just call her  your wren she is my lovely wren my beautiful wren
269
2551360
12480
42:46
she calls she calls me mouse i'm not  sure if that's a nice nickname or not  
270
2566400
6960
42:54
that's not a nice pet name she calls  me mouse because my name is mickey
271
2574000
6160
43:02
well maybe perhaps she could she should call him  
272
2582560
3200
43:07
mousey mousey that would be a good name i like  that one a pet name is not the same as a nickname  
273
2587200
8400
43:15
so don't forget nicknames and pet names  quite often are different from each other  
274
2595600
6400
43:22
so they are not necessarily the same thing  a pet name is not the same as a nickname  
275
2602560
5920
43:29
as the pet name is often a term of love so maybe  if there is a nickname quite often it is given  
276
2609040
8960
43:38
between friends people who know each other but a  pet name is often given as a sign of devotion love
277
2618000
10240
43:50
or a term of endearment so it  is common for that to happen
278
2630480
4800
43:57
as i said a nickname is a sign of friendship  or familiarity so a person you know well  
279
2637440
7360
44:04
a person you work with for example it is  common in work situations to actually give  
280
2644800
7360
44:12
a nickname to your co-workers so a nickname  is often a sign of friendship or familiarity
281
2652720
11040
44:27
do you have a pet name for someone so  maybe there is a pet name that you call  
282
2667280
7120
44:34
another person in your life  maybe a person close to you  
283
2674400
3040
44:38
maybe a family member have you ever been  given a pet name a name that signifies
284
2678000
11840
44:50
friendship deep friendship love affection  closeness quite often it can happen
285
2690560
13280
45:04
alessandra says sometimes a  person can have a pet name  
286
2704960
3760
45:09
and a pet can have a person's name that is true  however when you are giving a name to your pet  
287
2709360
8880
45:19
your cat or your dog quite often you will give  names that sound more familiar as a pet name  
288
2719200
10960
45:30
for example you might call your dog rover i  know what you're going to say mr duncan that  
289
2730880
7600
45:38
is such a cliché such a cliché how can you be so  cliched maybe you call your tat your cat whiskers
290
2738480
10400
45:51
whiskers because your cat  has little whiskers you see  
291
2751200
4720
45:57
maybe you call your rabbit what  is there a good name for a rabbit  
292
2757840
5200
46:04
we used to have a rabbit called miranda it's true  i'm not joking we had this huge giant white rabbit  
293
2764160
9680
46:15
and her name was miranda i'm not joking  but yes i suppose you can give a pet name  
294
2775280
8640
46:24
to a person or i suppose to an animal as well  we can talk about that as well if you want
295
2784640
6480
46:34
sandra gonzalez says my dog is called
296
2794000
4160
46:40
simon i have to i have to be  honest i i do like that name  
297
2800240
6400
46:48
but it's it's it's not common to call your dog  simon it sounds like a person's name to be honest
298
2808480
8960
46:59
mayuri says yes now i get the difference between  a nickname and a pet name pet names are given  
299
2819840
7040
47:06
as a a sign of love affection a nickname is often  given to a friend or someone you are familiar with
300
2826880
10000
47:20
thank you for your company today by the way  a lot of people joining me i know wednesday

302
2845600
3920
47:29
so i do understand that a lot of people might  not be able to join me for the live stream
303
2849520
8320
47:38
sometimes the unusual sound of your voice  can inspire a pet name yes maybe maybe  
304
2858720
7440
47:46
if a person has a deep deep voice you  might call them husky because then their  
305
2866960
9680
47:57
their voice is deep it sounds husky my boyfriend  is called husky because he has a husky voice
306
2877200
12320
48:12
hello mika mika is here in japanese if you put  chan at the end of a name it is a friendly way  
307
2892640
7440
48:20
to call someone for example duncan chan mikha chan
308
2900080
6240
48:30
a friendly way of greeting someone  so you are actually putting a  
309
2910080
3920
48:34
word or a sound at the end of a person's  name to show affection or friendship

311
2922400

48:48
my son calls
312
2928880
1280
48:55
i like that louis thank you very much for for  your comment my son calls opium to his cat
313
2935440
9200
49:07
and wi-fi to his dog i don't know why  i also don't know why very unusual adi  
314
2947280
12320
49:20
says my girlfriend calls me dear or deary  i think so yes so there's another one  
315
2960640
7520
49:28
dear deary they can be used as terms as  endearment this is an unusual subject i know  
316
2968160
9440
49:38
but i hope it has been interesting  today i hope it has been useful to you
317
2978480

49:48
an ironic or offensive nickname might be given  to a person as a joke so maybe if you work in a  
318
2988960
9440
49:58
place where there are lots of people maybe lots of  men so men quite often will give nicknames to each  
319
2998400
8320
50:06
other if they work in an environment maybe they  are working in a garage where they repair cars  
320
3006720
8160
50:14
and maybe there are five or six men working  together you will often find that the men will  
321
3014880
5920
50:20
all give each other nicknames and sometimes  they can be ironic or in some cases offensive
322
3020800
10560
50:35
perhaps a bald man a man with no hair  might be given the nickname curly  
323
3035920
8080
50:45
you see because he has no hair  he's bald so his friends at work  
324
3045840
6000
50:52
call him curly even though he has  no hair so sometimes we can actually
325
3052400
6560
51:01
we can actually give a name to  someone a nickname to a person  
326
3061600
4480
51:06
but the name is actually ironic it is the opposite
327
3066080
4480
51:15
here's another one this might be offensive  in fact i think it would be a fat person  
328
3075040
7200
51:22
might be called slim oh here  comes slim he's late again slim  
329
3082240
7760
51:30
he's always late for work have you seen slim today  he's not in a very good mood slim so maybe there  
330
3090000
8080
51:38
is a person you work with who is overweight they  are fat and they might be called slim ironically
331
3098080
11760
51:50
a lazy or slow person might be  called speedy because they're not  
332
3110800
5920
51:57
speedy they're slow and sometimes lazy so  maybe the nickname will be given to them  
333
3117280
7520
52:06
and it will be speedy because that person  never moves fast and they are often lazy  
334
3126080
6480
52:14
finally and here is one that used to be used  
335
3134400
4400
52:18
but is no longer used because it is  offensive so i'm going to include this  
336
3138800
6320
52:26
but it is no longer used but i think it is a  good example of how sometimes nicknames can  
337
3146640
9600
52:36
be very offensive in the past a black man  might have been given the nickname chalky
338
3156240
9600
52:47
needless to say these days that is not done  
339
3167120
3440
52:51
so that is highly offensive but it was  not unusual especially in the workplace  
340
3171120
7680
52:59
especially if there were many men working  together you might find that if there was a  
341
3179360
4960
53:04
colleague or a person working with them who  was black they would often call them chalky
342
3184320
9920
53:14
not anymore you do not do that anymore it  is highly offensive incredibly offensive
343
3194240
9120
53:27
eric says in my family they usually call  me arizo which in english is hedgehog  
344
3207280
9760
53:38
a rizzo eriso is hedgehog well maybe perhaps  your hair maybe it was a reference to your  
345
3218800
9760
53:48
hair maybe your hair was spiky maybe  your hair would stick up on your head
346
3228560
7280
54:01
yes opium is a very strange name to call your  animal your cat very strange opium of course a  
347
3241920
8640
54:10
type of drug which we won't be talking about today  because we talked about that a lot last sunday  
348
3250560
7600
54:20
maria says in the past in sicily ironic nicknames  were given to all the members of the family  
349
3260160
5760
54:26
yes so maybe if a person is is very tall you  might call them shorty because they're really tall  
350
3266480
9760
54:36
so the nickname is ironic because it is  the opposite to what they actually are  
351
3276880
6880
54:44
so quite often yes you might call a person by
352
3284720
3600
54:51

359
3335120
15280
55:50
you wrote i think you said my brother is  called almond because of the shape of his eyes
360
3350400
11440
56:03
or was it something else i didn't see it properly  but i think you said almond because of the shape  
361
3363600
7280
56:10
of his eyes it may have been something else  i'm not sure i didn't see it completely
362
3370880
6080
56:19

3387680
3120
56:32
on youtube i don't know if that's a good thing or  a bad thing is it a good thing i'm not sure really  
365
3392400
7120
56:40
i am going in a moment but but of course  oh i see my brother is called chinese  
366
3400880
7040
56:49
for the almond shape of his eyes  well maybe i don't want to sound  
367
3409840
7200
56:57
too politically correct but maybe that might not  be something that a lot of people would agree with  
368
3417040
7520
57:05
especially these days 2021 everyone  is so sensitive to everything  
369
3425120
7680
57:14
so maybe some people would not see the funny  side of that i will be going in a moment
