Hilarious Idioms About Your Butt | British & American English Explained!

Now, to me, all of you have great butts!

Except for you! Yours is rubbish!

Looks like an old grape in a sock!

So let's talk about idioms that you can use if you have a great butt!

Okay because all of these have the word "butt" or "arse" or "ass" in them

be careful who you say them to

because they sound quite strong maybe kind of vulgar in some contexts

So just be careful who you say them to

and if they get angry you didn't learn it from me!

a big thank you to the sponsor of today's video, Blinkist!

You can hear more about them if you skip to this time

basically, it's a really cool app that I use that you can use to improve your English!

Okay before we begin your "rear", "buttocks", "posterior"

we don't use these words. That's a lie... we DO use these words, but

only in really formal situations or at the doctor's

In casual conversation we never use these so ...yeah don't!

more commonly, we use "Arse" if you're British. Pronounce it "Arse"

Americans say "Ass", it's very American

However we British people also use ass in written English and spoken English so

it's fine also "bum" and "butt" those are fine for both and they're less offensive

than "arse" and "ass" I don't know why

okay so idioms if you have a good butt, let's go!

When someone's really annoying but acting crazy or just bothering you, we say this:

"This person is a pain in the butt" You can say that, you have options!

You could also say:

if you're British "They're a pain in the ARSE"

If you're American "You're a pain in the ASS!"

or even... you could even say

"Mate you're a pain in the tits!" it doesn't matter if you actually have boobs

That's not important

but this is very very British

I don't think I've heard Americans say this expression

"You're a pain in the tits!" (with an American Accent)

oh maybe... I don't know

but the ... haha... "Butt"

The main expressions you can use "a pain in the butt", "pain in the arse",

or pain in the ass"

so you can also shorten this to:

"You're a pain! You're such a pain!"

if you shorten it to "you're a pain / he's a pain / she's a pain"

They understand

Who is a pain in the ass for you?

Let me know in the comments why are they painting the arse? why are they annoying?

or make an Instagram story tell that person hey you're a pain in the ass and this is why

also tag me at puppet teach me in your Instagram story and I will repost the

best ones if you know someone who is either

very lazy or they just spend all day sitting down or laying down it doesn't

matter but if they spend most of the day on their butt we say something like this

oh my god he just sits on his ass all day playing xbox so if you want to tell

someone hey stop being lazy to be honest it doesn't matter if they're being lazy

or not if you just want to say hey do something like do something constructive

you know or do something to help you can say this dude you've been playing xbox

all day get off your ass to be honest someone needs to tell this tip knee this

next one is extremely British Americans don't use this now maybe you've heard

the expression can't be bothered it means you don't have the energy to do

something or you're not willing to do something like me I don't want to do

this thing I can't be bothered right well we have a British way of saying

this and it's this hmm can't be asked for example we should do something today

do you want to go for a walk go for a walk I'm not a dog no I can't

be bothered I'm watching a movie come on get off your ass let's go out no I can't

be asked again though remember this is very British Americans I don't think

they use this also it's much stronger than can't be bothered much stronger but

it's definitely stronger because of the word arse so just be careful who you say

that to they might get angry with you before we continue I want to thank blink

s the sponsor of today's video this is not just a sponsor video this app can

really help you improve your English skills your listening and speaking while

at the same time learning a whole load of new stuff for me I don't have the

attention span to read a whole book I mean I do but it takes a really long

time but luckily there's an app called

blinkers which I personally use they take nonfiction books take all the main

important information that is the only stuff you remember from non-fiction

books condense it down into a fifteen minute audiobook form and they read it

to you you do have the option to read the text along with it and of course the

best part you can finish a whole book in around 15 minutes it's nuts so like I

said I use this app personally and I always recommend it to other people I

recommend it to my students and it's all in English you can read along with the

audiobook it's amazing so I contacted blinka stand they're offering the first

that you've read or listened to ok back to the lesson when someone is very

stupid but I mean like so so stupid we have an expression that guy's so stupid

he doesn't even know his ourself from his elbow

it literally means he doesn't know the difference between his elbow and his

asshole yes that is very strong and kind of vulgar so again be very careful who

you say this to or who you say this about again American English we would

just change that to ass he doesn't know his asshole from his elbow next when

someone does a half-assed job this means they they did something for

example they fixed something kind of yeah he fixed my chair but look it had a

really half-assed job you just put tape on it they didn't do

it properly they didn't do it well enough they just did it like 20 percent

effort they did a half-assed job we don't say a fast we should but we

don't have that also we could say you have asked it you have asked it just

half-assed it next when someone is acting angry towards you or just

generally very unfriendly we say they are

are see with you I know weird again Americans don't save us because you have

to change it to a C and it sounds weird so Americans don't use this British

people definitely do being RC with someone for example hey how's your day

fine how's your day why be an RC with me why are you big I'll see with me that's

you that's what you sound like again let me know in the comments when

was the last time someone was RC with you or when was the last time you were

being RC with someone else why what happened tell me everything and

the next - they kind of go together when you have someone who acts like this to

someone else when we go you're amazing you're perfect everything you do is

amazing even your mistakes they're perfect every class has one every office

has one everyone knows someone like this we have words for this when that person

always praises this person even when they do something bad

well they just suck as a human we say that this person is an ass-kisser if

you're American or ass-kisser if you're British

you could also say butt kisser you could also flip it in say she kisses her ass

or ass your choice you be creative and to be more general we say that this

person exists inside this person's ass whether it usually it's the nose

so she has her nose up her ass or ass depending if you want to speak with a

British or American style remember to try your own examples in the comments or

make an Instagram story using these examples tag me and Papa teach me and

I'll repost - the best examples seen the next class don't be an ass kisser don't

put your nose in someone's but that's just unhygenic also don't be a pain in

the butt
