[00:00.44] Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. My name is Callum Robertson.
[00:04.66] And I'm Yang Li.
[00:06.17] Come 'ere then! Oi! Come on then! Want a fight? Who are ya?
[00:10.99] Oh, Callum! Who are all those horrible men that I can hear on my headphones?
[00:15.40] Well, Li, they are yobs.
[00:17.56] Yobs?
[00:19.11] Yes, yobs. Yob is our phrase for today. It's an informal word that refers to a man who is loud and rude and possibly rather violent.
[00:30.26] Oh, that sounds like you!
[00:32.57] What are you talking about, sounds like me? What do you mean? Are you asking for a fight?
[00:36.90] No, no, no! But do you see what I mean? You sound like a yob.
[00:41.95] Hmm, yes, OK. Sorry about that.
[00:46.60] Hmm, anyway, I chose this word because as many people will know the UK recently experienced some violence on the streets of London and other cities.
[00:57.99] 'Yob' is a word that the British press used to describe the rioters.
[01:04.43] Let's hear some real headlines from some British newspapers
[01:08.27] UK riots: 11 councils to evict 'riot yobs'.
[01:12.78] Ken Clarke blames 'feral' yobs.
[01:15.46] 600 riot yobs left DNA on windows.
[01:19.20] Riot yobs filmed attacking cop cars.
[01:22.84] Riot yobs can't hide.
[01:25.17] UK riots: young yobs back on streets despite David Cameron's pledge.
[01:30.73] Ah, I'm not sure I remember seeing this word yob on the BBC news site.
[01:36.88] Well, no. It's a very negative and judgemental word. The BBC tends to avoid this kind of language in its news stories.
[01:45.41] But this is a piece of British slang that is very common in the UK.
[01:50.60] And we also sometimes use the word yobbo.
[01:53.24] Yobbo. Hmm, but where do all these words come from?
[01:58.29] Well, interestingly, what we have here is an example of backslang.
[02:02.52] If you read the word yob backwards, what do you get?
[02:07.73] Hmm, B.O.Y., boy.
[02:10.97] Exactly. And that's what the word used to mean, but now it refers to a rude and violent man, often a young man but not always.
[02:20.80] Listen Callum, I'm sorry about earlier. I don't really think you are a yob. You are a gentleman.
[02:26.78] Oh, thanks Li.
[02:28.26] But in any case you know if we were to get in a fight I would beat you. So don't you try that again!
[02:35.66] OK.
