Chuffed means like I'm happy.

- I'm dead chuffed. - [Mike] How do you say this?

- What's up, shaggers? Have you ever heard that before?

- No, I've never actually heard.

- So this is kind of new expression.

Do you say this in Aussie English?

What's up, shaggers? - Yeah.

- Would you say, call someone a shagger?

- To shag means to have sex.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- But like in a very slang way.

So if you call someone a shagger

- It means they often (clicks tongue) get it done.

- Do you have like a Japanese equivalent of saying

"sup, shaggers?"

- No, we wouldn't say that.

It's, I don't know.

It's too sexual (laughs) for a Japanese.

- [Mike] What do you say when you meet

a really really good friend?

- Yes.

- We just called their names

but we don't usually put, like,

something after the, like, greetings.

(speaking Japanese)

- Alright, the next one is scran.

Rupa, do you even know what scran is?

- No idea.

- Any idea what... Have a guess.

What do you think scran is?

(speaking Japanese)

- When you play rugby, like scrum is like, scram.

- Almost, okay, almost but that's a different spelling.

So that's scrum with a "U-M",

I'm talking scran with an "A-N".

"S-C-R-A-N" - Scran

- No idea.

- I'm hungry. I'm gonna get some scran.

- Oh, snack?

- Yeah. Some scran is your food!

Grub. Get some Grub.

- Grab?

- Grub. "G-R-U-B". "U-B" - Grab? Grab?

- [Together] Grub.

- Nah, nah, nah, no.

But you can say "grab some grub".

- What's like Japanese slang for food?

- Meshi?

(speaking Japanese)

- Let's grab, let's grab food.

(speaking Japanese)

- I like that.

What's your favorite meshi?

- Oh yeah! - Business card?

What do you mean, like "meishi"?

- Meishi! (speaking Japanese)

- Absolute madlad!

- Mad lad?

- Have a guess. What do you think madlad is?

- Mad means like angry, I'm sure. Very angry?

- It could mean angry.

- Lad is... Lad? - Yeah.

- Yeah, what's a lad?

- "L-A-D"?

Lad? Ladder or something? (laughs)

- It's a shit guess

(laughing)

but lad, you say the same in Australia.

- We say "top bloke".

- Top block?

- Top bloke.

- Top block?

- Yeah. It means madlad.

We also say mad lad or top lad.

- So, what's the meaning?

- So, a "lad" is just another word for a guy.

So again, it's kind of a masculine thing to say,

but if, let's say you're going down an escalator

but instead of going down the stairs,

you jump on the the railing

and you slide down the escalator.

You're doing something dangerous, but really fun.

Absolute madlad.

- Madlad.

- Ah, Madlad.

- So it's like a slang to say, wow,

he's doing something like, kind of crazy,

kind of dangerous, kind of stupid,

but it's kind of fun.

- Living his best life. - Like that.

- Oh, I'm thinking about the word I can say, but...

Iketerune. (speaking Japanese) - Iketerune.

- Can you use iketeru for both guys and girls?

- Iketeru? Yeah, it sounds a little bit masculine

but like we both use actually.

- And would you use it like, if someone did something crazy?

- Uh.

I think that's a kind of like, cultural difference.

We wouldn't say like (speaking Japanese)

(laughing)

- Very Japanese. Humble. Polite.

- Yeah, yeah.

For example, if you do like bungee jump or something,

like we say, (speaking Japanese)

but you guys react like, whoa! - Bro! Madlad!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but Japanese like, oh...

(soft clapping)

- You can use Mad lad as a noun.

Like, absolute madlad.

Or you could use it as a verb.

- Madladding.

- "I madladded it."

Or "I'm just gonna madlad it." So,

- Madladded?

- Let's madlad it!

On the fly. Spontaneous. Cool.

James Bond.

- Madlad.

- Madlad. - Exactly!

(laughing)

- We might use like crazy, like,

(speaking Japanese)

(speaking Japanese)

- [Mike] I, I think when it comes to Japanese they use like,

one word for a lot of stuff, so maybe-

(speaking Japanese)

- [Mike] So there's not much-

- Yabai can be like anything.

- [Together] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- I like that.

- Happy. Crazy. Stupid.

- Yeah. If I say like, ah man,

(speaking Japanese) what would you say?

- Madlad! - Yeah.

Yaba!

(laughing)

Yeah. There you go! - Nice.

Well done!

Thanks Mike.

- [Together] Yaba! Yaba!

- Next one. A cheeky blank.

I actually kind of hate this one because

Everyone uses it, but like, - Cheeky blank.

- Really?

- Yeah. So if, if we were like, we're working,

I'm like "do you wanna go for a cheeky pint after work?"

- Cheeky pine?

- A cheeky pint.

(speaking Japanese)

- Yes!

But what's the "cheeky"?

- Cheeky.

Cheeky?

- That is, that is your cheek.

(laughing)

But like, "let's go for a cheeky pint"?

- I don't know, that sounds sexual.

(all laughing)

- You say "no, no, no.

"After work I have to go home to feed my cat."

I'm like, "nah, let's go for a cheeky pint."

A cheeky pint.

- Ah, go easy? Something like?

- [Mike] You should go home.

But then today you had a really rough day.

- Ah, cheeky pint.

- [Mike] Yeah. So how would you say that in Japanese?

- Uh... - Something you shouldn't do

but you're gonna do it.

You're gonna be cheeky, you're gonna be naughty.

- Ah, cheeky! The cheating, (speaking Japanese)

- Kind of.

- Yeah. I think there is a word.

(speaking Japanese)

- Did "cheeky something" make its way to Australia?

- Oh, yeah, yeah. Hell yeah.

Yeah, we use it all the time.

Cheeky Nandos.

- You have cheeky Nandos!?

- Of course, of course!

- No way! - Yeah, the best.

- I thought that was just a British thing.

- Chicken and chips. Best.

- Stew, when was the last time you had a cheeky Nandos?

- [Stew] Too long ago.

- Too long.

- [Stew] No cheeky Nandos here.

- I wish! (speaking Japanese)

I wish there was some-

- [Stew] Cheeky Yakitori.

- Yeah! Cheeky Yakitori.

- Cheeky Yakitori!

Do you wanna go for a cheeky Yakitori later?

- Yeah, for sure.

But let me think, I'm thinking hard.

- [Mike] When you have a cheeky beer,

it would most likely be a draft beer, right?

- Oh no, it'd be anything. It's just-

- Yeah, yeah It could be anything.

Could be out of the can.

Could be out of a shoe!

(mutters in Japanese)(laughs)

(Mike speaking Japanese)

- For example, like, when you are like,

you know go on a diet, then you have a like,

day off the show.

- Yeah.

- [Mike] Oh, you're talking about a cheat day.

- Blah blah blah. Yeah, we definitely said,

- Blah, blah, blah.

(speaking Japanese)

- Okay. So the, the closest thing you'd have

is like cheat... Cheat something?

(speaking Japanese)

- To link the two, you can have a cheeky shag.

- Cheeky shag. Wow. - [Mike] Wow.

- What does it mean "cheeky shag"?

(speaking Japanese)

- Or to do it where you're not supposed to.

- Ah, we would say, (speaking Japanese)

(speaking Japanese)

- Ay - Noice, noice.

- Like, I got a lady last night.

(speaking Japanese)

- You did? Madlad.

(laughing)

- Madlad, madlad.

(speaking Japanese)

- Okay, this one is a very, very regional,

This is like from the northern parts of England.

You can say "owt" or "nowt".

Let me give you a clue what it means.

I haven't done owt all day.

- Gone out? Gone outside?

- Nothing? - Pronunciation...

Oh!

- Nothing.

- Oh.

- Ah, I'm so smart.

(laughing)

- Yaba! - Nice.

- Yeah. So owt means anything,

nowt, with the "N" means-

- Ah! (speaking Japanese)

- Wow, I didn't- No idea.

- Nowt.

- No? Australia, no?

- Didn't travel across the seas, you know.

- But you do have like an Australian nothing, right?
