Can someone help me with these lines? I couldnt catch what he says in this video. I would be very grateful if you could help me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyv7btGEI2E&t=149s At 5:09 to 5:12; The guy who got pushed off the bed "Pull ! Not yank but (???) pull ?" At 9:48 "I wanna go home, (then what?)" At 3:38 "Is that a (splute)??"

For the first one I hear "gently" pull. For the second I have no idea. I don't even hear "I wanna go home". I heard "I have bits of carrot in between my toes and now I am getting mint sauce poured all over my face". I didn't watch the whole video. Just those parts you asked about.

I once again urge you to look up the definition of "uncouth". I repeat: you are using it incorrectly. Uncouth people do not object to foul manners (as I have objected). Rather, uncouth people are the sort who find foul manners and immature horseplay amusing. People who are slightly more refined merely find them childish and tiresome. By the way, it is not very good form to insult people on italki (such as I) who take the time to help you with your English.

Anne, I think your comment once again shows that you are the perfect definition of "uncouth", or maybe one more word that you've just reminded me of─"snob". I am terribly sorry that you do not earn as much money as those YouTubers do.

Hi Eileen! I recommend that you don't use a word if you don't understand its meaning properly yet. "Uncouth" means rude specifically in a vulgar way; somebody who is without class, uncivilised, common, or crude. My comments were neither vulgar nor lacking in class. Nothing I said was "uncouth", so "uncouth" is not the right word to use to describe me. It's good that you want to copy words native speakers use, but if you don't use them in the correct context, then you fail. If you feel that I am looking down on the uncouth people in the video, I will teach you a word you could use to describe me (or anyone who is criticising uncouth people): you could have said to me "you are being a snob". (I do not agree. I do not think that I am being a snob at all. However, apparently, you do, so I am merely trying to teach you some better vocabulary if you wish to criticise my comment from your perspective). I hope this helps. :) By the way, your question didn't make me come across this video. I (like most British people) am already keenly and painfully aware of the likes of Zoella, Casper, Zoella's uncouth brother, et al. They are very well known in Britain for becoming rich and famous for doing absolutely nothing.

Thank you for answering my question. I am sorry that my question made you come across this video that in a way offended you. I am not trying to improve my English through his videos, I watch it simply because I enjoy watching it. I can tell you do not appreciate what he does in the video and that's okay because everyone has his/her preference and opinions, but I don't think it's necessary to use those derogatory terms to describe him and his videos, because in doing so it makes you more uncouth. Anyway, I appreciate your help
