    What you should really be watching is “Learn English with Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington”

    HE IS SO GOOD AT EXPLAINING AND DESCRIBING NOT ONLY WHAT THINGS MEAN, BUT HOW THEY ARE USED OR “FEEL IN A SENTENCE”

    We have grim… And ‘geezer’ here usually means an old person.

    Nope! Ricky got mixed up there. He meant to say, “wizz” for a pee instead of waz. “Off for a wizz in the can!” Not waz! Lol! Waz IS short for wazzock though. If that’s even the correct spelling. I wouldn’t know as it’s not a word I normally use. Mind you…neithers ‘wizz’, lol!!

    I love how they censored “American” slurs, but not “British,” as if YouTube won’t recognize other dialects, languages, other countries’ slang, etc – or the people watching this. Makes sense.

    i thought “grim” was a real word? i don’t have any proper education, so what would i know.

    Not only is he one of the funniest and wisest entertainers out there, but I just love listening to him talk. He skips over consonants in the middle of words which for some reason delights me. Just the best – innit?
