A Little Dark Humor
If you’re into dark humor, this is for you 😆🤣 And yeah, it sounds like the guy in the video is British, so understanding him can be a bit challenging. Write in the comments if you got it 👇🏻

@Mackenzie Marino haha, some accents are hard... Scottish accent is notoriously difficult to understand - and so are hard cockney accents, or liverpool accents

Eu acho que a final vai ser Espanha x Noruega porque quero ver os espanhóis — as pessoas mais grosseiras que já encontrei — terem os ovos esmagados pelo Haaland.

🤣
Brazilians have a funny but cute way of adding lots of vowel sounds to English words. Can you think of any other words Brazilians have a special way to pronounce? I’ll start: 🇺🇸McDonalds 🇧🇷 Méquidônaldis

"Facee-bookee." "Tele-fonee." When I first met my wife, she told me she had just "walk-ed" the dog. But my favorite story of my Brazilian wife happened while she was in A&P school (that's school for aspiring aircraft mechanics). For context: your grade in A&P school has two parts. One is academic, the other is practical — the hands-on portion. She was the only girl in her class. One day they had a pop quiz in sheet metal class. Every guy in the class got an A. She got a B. Naturally, they all started giving her a hard time. She wanted to make a point that she'd done very well too — so she reminded them the quiz was in English. Of course they all got A's. If the test had been in Portuguese, she'd have gotten the A, and every one of them would have failed! She also wanted to make the point that the academic score isn't what matters most — what matters most is the hands-on part. But that's not quite how she said it. She exclaimed: "What matters most is the hand jobs — and I am the BEST at the hand jobs!" Jaws hit the floor. Confused by their reaction, she doubled down and reminded them that she had the highest "hand job score" in the entire class. Her classmates then had the honor of explaining to her that... that does not mean what she thinks it means.
