This made me LOL. Being the massive House/Hugh Laurie fan you are, maybe you've seen this before. But just in case you haven't, I just had to share.
American vs. British accent
PS: The only British slang I knew the answer to was "chuffed to bits," and that's only because of the UK peeps on the board! ;) |

"Ba-donka-donk? We definitely don't have those in England" lmao. Thanks for posting this video!
And here's an advert it was shown in Spain last year I think. It's "his Spanish voice" (the one we hear in Spain when watching House). Don't know why it was dubbed cause if you read his lips you clearly see he spoke in Spanish :S |

I would have guessed flossing had something to do with your thong giving you a wedgie or something. I have heard Ba-donka-donk but it's not something I use regularly. I hadn't heard the last one either.
My guess for chin wag was some sort of soul patch/douche tag facial hair thing.
I was glad I knew chuffed to bits. Thanks board. |

When Ellen says 'Shawty' he seems to mishear her and says 'Shoddy'. Which is a British word something that is poorly constructed. e.g. "Thats some real shoddy workmanship there"
I've heard badonka donk butt before though! |
