01:50Basically, you're hoping to get the chance to speak with someone.

01:52It can indeed be used non-romantically as well.

01:55Do you want to go have a chat or do you want to have your tea first?

02:01My tea is always hot, honey.

02:24Are you messin'?

02:25Are you kidding me?

02:27That's what it means.

02:29There's a thing in the organic called the scouse mouse.

02:31The scouse mouse.

02:33Have you never heard of that?

02:35Oh my god, are you guys pranking me?

02:39Are you messin'?

02:40There is no such thing as the scouse mouse and they were indeed messin'.

02:46Factor 50.

02:47You like someone but you're laying it on too thick.

02:50It seems your eyes are as brown as the tree trunks.

02:56Factor 50.

02:58Oi bruv, I like her.

03:00I'm going to lay it on factor 50.

03:03Closed off.

03:04You're basically exclusive.

03:06You're not trying to date around.

03:07I mean, we ain't in a relationship, mate.

03:09I'm not closed off.

03:10You can't have closed my teas off as well, right?

03:12Do you know what I'm saying?

03:14Closed off.

03:16I don't want to be jealous.

03:18I want us to be closed off.

03:23Are you good?

03:25Turn my head.

03:27Yikes, now you have feelings for someone else.

03:29You know what I mean, I'd like to get to know everyone anyway but

03:32it would take literally someone to knock me out the park for me to like turn my head because

03:37me and Jaika literally are the doppelgangers of each other.

03:41Turn my head.

03:42I know they're closed off but maybe this old narrator could turn his head.

03:47Outside world.

03:48This is anything happening outside of the villa because they're actually trapped there.

03:53I actually added you on Instagram on the outside world and did message you.

03:57So I heard.

04:00They're cute on the show but the relationship would never work in the outside world.

04:05Banter.

04:06Having good banter or bants.

04:08That means you're easy to talk to.

04:10The talk of five hours isn't it?

04:12It's not.

04:12It was literally a bad banter.

04:14I don't want no beef.

04:16Banter.

04:17We didn't have very good banter.

04:20He just kept talking about his ex.

04:22Fanny flutters.

04:23I hear this is kind of a bad word in the UK but it surely is not in the US.

04:27So this is basically butterflies.

04:29You're feeling giddy romantic feelings for someone.

04:32Maura Higgins really coined this phrase.

04:35Oh my god they look so f***ing fit.

04:37I look better in the lab.

04:48Dick sand is a term invented and solely used by Olivia.

04:51This means basically this man is so good it's like quicksand.

04:56So it's like when you're just like carrying your own business and then you just you see like either

05:01there's loads of dicks around or it's just like a boy that you fancy and you just like fall in it.
