- Dad gum.
Very funny when you see it written.
- [Both] Dad gum.
[upbeat music]
- Hello, I am Charlie Hunnam.
- He would be the Geordie.
This is.
- I'm Hugh Grant.
I will be instructing you on British Slang.
- And I am Matthew McConaughey.
I will be giving you the howdys, from Texas.
So, what do we got first?
Oh, speaking of howdys.
- [Hugh] That's one of the British ones.
- Would you say that please?
- Howdy.
- Howdy.
That's it, it is one of the British ones.
The Texans stole that or did you steal that from us?
- You stole pretty much everything.
- We probably did.
- [Charlie] Wor.
- [Both] Wor.
- Is that Geordie?
- I think so.
I don't know if that's the right spelling,
but wor like wor-kid.
- [Both] What?
- Like, you say wor-kid like you would say my friend,
or my son, or my little brother would be wor-kid.
- It means our kid?
- Yeah, it means wor.
- It's very interesting, a lot of it comes from Scandinavian
because the Vikings came over to that part of the world.
- Hence, my blonde beard.
- Yeah, look how Scandinavian he looks.
- Yeah. - Looks like Bjorn Borg.
- With a great hairline.
- With a man bun.
- Yeah.
[group laughing]
- [Matthew] Clarts.
- Clarts, as in clarty, as in dirty.
Devin, bring them clarty boots in here.
- Yeah. - Really?
- [Charlie] Ha, Jack the Lad.
- [Matthew] Jack the Lad.
- Well everyone in this movie's a Jack the Lad really.
It's a villain.
- Did you know that Jack O'Connell has Jack the Lad
tattooed on his arm?
And he is a Jack the Lad.
So it works.
- Someone who, you know, a bit of wheeler dealing.
Someone might say, you know, can we trust--
- He's a wise-guy. - Roger.
I don't know, he's a bit of a Jack the Lad.
- Someone that might pick your pocket.
