    Josh and Jase are a British duo who’ve become famous on social media for documenting their travels across America and sharing what they’ve learned about each region's unique culture.

    “Originally, I thought we’d appeal to the British audience, and they’d find it interesting. But actually, it’s gone more the other way, and Americans say that they appreciate their country a little bit more because we go to these cool places that usually a lot of people don’t go to,” Jase told KRQE.


    Recently, the pair traveled to Texas, and Jase quickly learned that the Lone Star State has its own phrases that you won’t hear often, if ever, in the UK. So, he decided to share them with his audience while trying out his American accent, which sounds a lot like Matt McConaughey.

    How did i do? 😂

    1. “Y'all” —"No one says, 'you all," it's y'all."

    2. “Bigger'n Dallas” — A term Texans use to describe something "really big."

    3. “Bless your heart” — This means that someone feels "sorry for you" or it's a "hidden insult." Jase is still learning the difference.

    4. “Broke bad” — A person raised by a good family but winds up becoming a "naughty individual."

    5. “Come hell or high water” — A saying that means "to do something, regardless of what's in your way."

    6. “Corn-fed” — This is a term to describe someone who is "really big."

    7. “Dag gum it” — A kinder way of saying, "Goddamn it."

    8. “Fixin’ to” — To plan to do something.

    9. “Might could” — Basically, it's the same as saying could: "They might win the game if they had their regular quarterback fit."
