[00:00:00]Ah, Britain.

[00:00:03]The land of eloquence, understatement, and politeness.

[00:00:09]Where we don't say we hate people, we simply adjust our tone, and let the silence do the damage.

[00:00:19]Today, real British phrases on how to say indirectly you hate someone.

[00:00:27]Delivered with a straight face, a cup of tea, and a digestive biscuit. Do you need me to elaborate?

[00:00:37]Or can we just crack on?

[00:00:39]He's not really my cup of tea.

[00:00:43]Translation, not for me.

[00:00:46]And we'll leave it there.

[00:00:49]I'm not a fan of hers.

[00:00:52]Translation, I really don't like her.

[00:00:57]But politely put, we don't really see eye to eye.

[00:01:04]Translation, we disagree on most things.

[00:01:10]All of them, in fact.

[00:01:13]I could take or leave them.

[00:01:17]Translation, I'd be perfectly happy to leave them at Chernobyl.

[00:01:24]They're a bit much.

[00:01:27]Translation, they are too much.

[00:01:33]I'm not bothered about him.

[00:01:37]Translation, he doesn't register highly enough to matter.

[00:01:44]Or another way of putting it, Who?

[00:01:49]I'm not keen on him.

[00:01:52]Translation, I don't like him.

[00:01:56]And I can't be asked to pretend otherwise.

[00:02:03]I don't have time for them.

[00:02:06]Translation, he's not worth it, and probably never was.

[00:02:15]I'll give them a wide berth.

[00:02:18]Translation, >> [music] >> I actively avoid them like the plague.

[00:02:26]I'm not their biggest fan.

[00:02:29]Very British, often delivered with a tight smile.

[00:02:33]Translation, I really don't like them.

[00:02:38]And that's being generous.

[00:02:42]Bonus round.

[00:02:45]The quiet execution.

[00:02:49]Well, [laughter] they're something, aren't they?

[00:02:54]Translation, I have nothing kind to say about them whatsoever.

[00:03:01]Their existence is an irrelevance, an insult, and I would rather [ __ ] in my hands and clap than associate with them in any way.

[00:03:12]Boy, that escalated quickly.

[00:03:16]I mean, that really got out of hand fast. And there you have it.

[00:03:20]Real, polite, British ways to say you hate someone, without ever actually saying it.

[00:03:29]So, the next time your friend asks you about someone you're not keen on, you know what to do.

[00:03:35]>> [laughter] >> Cheers, you horrible lots.

[00:03:41]And remember, if all else fails, I'm not their biggest fan.
