all hail Steven king of the lesbians.

We English like to miss out our letter T's when talking quickly and/or informally, but we don't replace them with another letter.

I love his face when he was told the meaning of shawty XD and when he said that ba-donka-donk is a "fantastic word!" XDD

SHAWTY: And hugh laurie said "SHAUTHY"

I've never heard "floss" used in that context.

I love you Hugh Laurie!

@MissEgasMoniz Funny, because the rest of the world thinks that about Americans...

@kyoujinkrista2 sorry, Australia* Our* :P But seriously we don't use those words at all.

@bobonlan We don't use those terms in Australian. Are everyday vocabulary would get an R rating in America.

No offense you guys, but America slang sounds terrible to me... :P Though it could just be the accent...

umm guys i know he's a british actor, i was joking. his last name is laurie, of course he's british.

I prefer Hugh's answers to the actual american slang, especially ba-donka-donk

@btevoxboy6835 because he's an english actor.

It feels so weird hearing his actual accent. But amazing actor irregardless

@btevoxboy6835 ...he's British...an English actor. People can change their accents. I have a friend born in England but once she came to America, changed her accent.

"I'm chuffed to bits by your badonkadonk." That's one of those sentences you GOTTA use in a conversation.

@btevoxboy6835 .... it's okay, you're a bit slow, it's okay... we're here for you young grasshopper.

why is laurie using a brittish accent? lolol

They should have done more, theres so much weird english slang now

I live in america and I dont know what half these american terms is....fuck america ^^

That had nothing to do with accents for Chrisakes..

Hey guys, here's my first video. Please watch it and comment :) watch?v=hSPWDKkvxI0 :)

@lawltaxcuts that's because it's mostly used in african-american slang

There was a guy on the street who began speaking to me. At first he was about a 6. Then the British accent came out and suddenly the 10 next to him became invisible.

cant we all just get along brits, americans, middle eastern, europeans, asians etc etc
