Songs Your English Teacher Will NEVER Teach! - Vocabulary from "Savage", "WAP", and "34+35"

(upbeat music)

- Morning, everyone.

How's everyone's weekend?

- At the weekend-

- I don't care.

What do you wanna learn today?

What should we do the lesson on?

- Could you do a lesson on the song "Savage?"

- Meghan stallion?

I love that song.

Yeah, sure.

- Yeah.

- What the lyrics?

(upbeat music)

Oh no.

Yeah, no, we can't do this song.

- How about "WAP" by Cardi B?

- Oh, you saw my Cardi B video, you know, I'm a fan.

Yes, we are doing this.

All right what are the lyrics?

Uh-oh you can't say that word.

Okay canceled.

- Okay, how about "34 + 35?"

That's Arianna Grande.

- Arianna Grande.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no she's fine.

- I love that one.

- Ariana Grande's fine.

Yeah, sure.

Let me look at the lyrics just to check.

(calm music)

Okay, okay.

Nope.

- Can't you just do the safe words?

- Okay fine.

If I get canceled this wasn't my idea this was your idea.

(calm music)

(upbeat music)

This lesson is not for kids.

If you're a kid, stop watching.

If you are a teacher who uses my videos in class,

without checking, don't get mad at me for this one,

I'm warning you.

And if you are my mom, please stop watching.

I love of you and thank you, but just don't watch this one.

Ah, okay let's do this I guess.

"WAP"

Oh God okay so again, mom, if you're watching,

please, I beg you please stop.

Ah, where do we begin?

Okay pussy.

It means vagina, but it's very, very strong slang.

If you have a medical problem with your vagina

don't call it a pussy in front of your doctor,

it will sound very weird.

But also people use this word to describe someone

who is weak or scared of something small.

- You're a pussy.

- Oh God.

- I don't recommend that you use this,

but you definitely will hear it, so those are the meanings.

Now, you know.

If you watch my videos, you probably know what wet means.

Great.

But if we use an adjective with ass

or in British pronunciation arse, that acts like a modifier.

Would you like some papa coffee?

No, I don't want any of your boujee ass coffee.

An adjective like boujee expensive or wet.

This makes the adjective much stronger.

It emphasizes that adjective your boujee ass coffee,

this face makes it sound bad.

But wow Allie is a good ass teacher.

That ass or arse makes it sound like a good thing.

So it really depends how you say it

and what the adjective is.

So she has a wet ass pussy,

now, you know what that means?

Next one is.

♪ Make that pull out game weak ♪

(upbeat music)

(beep) Me.

Okay so when you have sex and you don't wear a condom

you have two options for how you finish.

The way that doesn't make a baby is called withdrawing,

fuck sake, or pulling out because it's literally out.

I'm never making a video like this again.

(man groans)

That's pull out.

The next part when you talk about your something game,

you are talking about your level of skill at that thing.

Like if I talk about my skincare, okay.

I always look tired I know,

but every night I do hyaluronic acid, retinol,

moisturizer and every day SPF gotta block that sun,

very important.

So maybe I'll say my skincare game is amazing.

I want to say my skill at skincare is really, really good.

My skincare game is amazing.

So if you put all this together,

(man laughs)

wet ass pussy makes his pullout game weak,

now you understand what all of that means.

Aw still going, okay.

The next line.

♪ You're fucking with some wet ass pussy ♪

So if you say you F with someone or something

it means you like that thing, you approve of that thing,

you use that thing.

Or in the negative you don't fuck with this thing,

that means you don't like it, or you don't use it.

(upbeat music)

For example, if some one offers you spicy food,

but for you that's a no-no

because spicy food messes with your stomach,

you can say,

(calm music)

no, no, no, I don't fuck with spicy food,

I don't wanna be on the toilet all day.

And for a person, it means I like this person,

and I'm good to hang out with person.

Like, oh Kyle yeah, he is a good dude,

I can fuck with Kyle.

I've never heard British people use this expression,

it's more American.

That might change I don't know,

but for now British people don't really use this expression.

If you say this with British people

it has a different feeling which is to cause trouble

or be irresponsible with something.

Like maybe someone was irresponsible with your iPad

and now it's broken.

Why is my iPad not working,

who's been fucking with it?

And if you use this for a person,

it means to make fun of them or play a prank on them.

Maybe do something mean to them in order to be funny

like dude, I just put a snake in Ollie's car.

I love fucking with Ollie.

Look at me at him he is so angry.

Now, obviously in this song, that lyric is way more literal.

But now, you know, some other meanings

of fuck with.

This song is called "Savage."

♪ I'm a Savage. ♪

What is a Savage?

For example, do you have that friend

who has amazing insults?

Like,

(calm music)

your makeup makes you look like a circus clown.

She says exactly what she's thinking without caring

if it's appropriate or insensitive to say.

We can describe this person as

wow Maria is Savage.

Fierce, cruel, wild.

But in this case more, what you, you say not what you do.

So we can use this like an adjective,

Maria is savage.

Also as a noun Maria's a savage.

Both ways are fine.

Do you have a friend like Maria?

I do.

I feel like we all do.

So what has your most Savage friend ever said

when it wasn't appropriate?

♪ Classy, boujee, ratchet ♪

Okay then classy, boujee, ratchet,

three great adjectives.

But what do they mean?

Let's start with classy.

Is it the same as posh?

Yes, not exactly, but it is similar

and it means sophisticated, stylish, high class.

But it's more about the look or behavior of someone

or something.

So a classy person, they know what good manners are,

and how to be polite in front of people.

For example.

- Welcome back to Dating With Becky.

Today's tip don't fart in front of a guy on the first date,

be classy, wait until the third, maybe fourth date

then have fun with it.

Bye.

- The next word boujee.

This word is becoming more common.

It's boujee, it's something which only people

with a lot of money can afford.

And maybe it's pretending to be way better

or classier, fancier than it really is.

Like, oh, how was your date last night?

Where did you go?

- He took me to this really boujee bar in Soho.

Cocktails are like 25 quid each,

but we saw Russel Brand in there, so must be good.

- Oh, and then ratchet, this one's fun.

Ratchet means rude, disrespectful, loud,

maybe not stylish.

Like the opposite of stylish.

(upbeat music)

When could you use this?

You are wearing leopard print and no shoes to a funeral?

They're so ratchet.

Yet this one can be behavior, but also appearance.

That's why this song is awesome.

Classy, boujee, ratchet, and savage?

That's a complex person.

Wow this song actually has loads of really good adjectives

to boost your vocabulary.

Just don't sing the bad words when you sing this song.

And when I say bad words, we both know exactly

which words I'm talking about.

Okay we're nearly there.

Ariana Grande.

♪ You can hit it like a sidechick ♪

♪ Don't need no sidedick ♪

When you have a boyfriend or girlfriend

and you kiss another person that verb is to cheat.

That person who you cheat with they are your,

your side chick.

You might also hear the word side piece,

this one is more gender neutral.

But if the other person is a guy it's side dick.

What would be a formal version of this?

I guess the formal way of saying side dick or side piece,

other guy, other fella.

Have you seen her other guy?

Her other fella?

Other woman, that's fine too.

But mistress is the more formal version of that.

I can't say this enough, please be careful

with all of today's vocabulary, except classy and boujee.

Those are fine.

Obviously today's lesson is not my ebook

but it's still fun, so get it.

Ah, I'm gonna regret asking this

but is there a song you want me to do in a future lesson?

Let me know in the comments and I'll see you next time.

Bye.
