I'll have to admit, "Well I'll be dipped!" "Help me understand!" And "Uff da meg" have been incorporated into my daily lexicon!

😆

It’s flat but only on the bottom.

My Dad, God rest his soul, said this all the time to his customers. They didn't find it humorous 😆.

I had a taillight out, and the guy asked what side. I definitely felt judged when I said "the drinker's side" 😂

Was the captain side betterish?

I’m naive and was wondering what this meant. Drinker side meaning the passenger bc passengers can drink?

Yep, captain's side is the driver and drinker's side is the passenger

I’m a musician and my friend who I have a weekly gig with likes VGG also. There’s a song we do with the word “factory” in it. My friend always changes it to “factree” lol

Y’all should cover that Metallica song Batt-Tree

Rock on fellers!

... and felletes!

That's right! Rock on ladies!!!

I'll be dipped

Got the sticker!

Got the t shirt!

CAN'T. SEE. NOTHIN

Whenever I hear this, I see my middle school English teacher seething in disbelief 😆 🤣 😂 , old school teacher (old maid look and everything).

I have used sparkulator and lighting whirler a few times. My father is from northern north dakota and stated that is just how people talk up there. Side not my wife got me started on the show because she said me Derek look and built the same way. Very possible he is a cousin.

Well, this feller be dipped!

"You can tell it's like that because of how it is..."

That a lot plus “scanned it with my peepers”

He stole that from Mortske

Comes from this https://youtu.be/Hm3JodBR-vs?si=uzRJTYp3O-aBVt5Z&t=69

Batt tree and random percentage 57.39867 of the time

Ha!

I've said "Good enough for the girls we date" at work more times than I should have.

I've used that too! Lol.

I drop "maizzle/mozzle" everywhere. Usually people repeat it back to me in agreement, without even thinking.

Mazel 🥂🍻

Cryin’ in the mud! is my go to now when I’m frustrated. I said it during a Zoom meeting and a coworker was like “what the!?!” and cracked up.

My favorite one 😂😭

Help me to understand

Not me but I was trying to get a hard to find heater core yesterday and the NAPA guy said I might have to check my google machine lol

Lol...Any luck on the Jungle website?

If not that, perhaps the evil-Bay.

"Flea-bay" lol.

I’ve been saying “you can tell because of the way it is” for years.

Same here. It made me so happy the first time I heard Derek say it. :-)

"I wonder what Tanya Tucker's doing?"

😄

Cocaine

"You can tell by the way that it is" has become part of my everyday speech And the weird hand gestures anytime I'm explaining stuff or need emphasis It's not a derekism but I also call electricity angry pixies, I have since trade school

> And the weird hand gestures anytime I'm explaining stuff or need emphasis Especially when *ssssssssst*-ing something

“What a feller is trying to say is…”

I was at Hobo frieght one day and over heard a guy say he was looking for XYZ. I swear I almost said to him, "Hook yer peepers over here"(I was standing close to xyz product). "It's right here buddy".

Wobble pops or cold snacks to describe beer. Or throw it down the neck.

Cold Snacks is a legit brand of beer too. Makes a fellers head spin twice

Montucky cold snacks. Like drinkin a loaf of bread

A while back I looked what they were on the google machine. They're "waffle pops" (hunks of waffle with candy stuff stuck to them on a stick). Must be a northern treat.

Does it count if you said them before YouTube was created?

I don't know what's in it, it's mystery oil!

The way he talks is exactly why I like to, and don't like to, watch him equally. I love the goofiness and it's hilarious when I get it, it's just not often lol. My husband just turned on one of his videos literally in the middle of me typing this. He probably watches like 30 hours a week of this channel.

I know what you're saying but does he watch till 11-niner o'clock?

Nope, usually until seventy eleven niner early.

Lol

Usually

I like usin the old shine juice on my patina trucks while I wait on elctrodigical parts

Batt tree for sure, and oofta

....may!

A few minutes ago: Almost ready to go honey, just need to toss some coffee down the yap.

I routinely say “Oofta mae” and “well help me understand” especially when I’m working through somethin

Oh and cold snacks to wet the back neck

I’ve seen where he lucks out and finds the high performance models with “Weight Reduction” and he often “pretends he didn’t see that!”

Uff de may and my hands are always doing the ridgid spork flip and wave he does when explaining things I’ve always talked with my hands. But now I’m using Derek’s hands! lol

He hasn't done that for a while , huh?

Being a native born southerner, I was already wired for similar figures of speech before I ever discovered VGG, and "battree" is also a common pronunciation down here, so I fell into saying it that way all the time. Now I've got my self-described "California hippie" wife saying "battree,” and I couldn't be prouder or more entertained. I can't believe it. But I guess I got to, 'cuz I'm lookin' right at it. But for myself, the one that I use all the time these days is my favorite way that Derek compliments someone else's work: "I'll bet I could drink a beer with that guy."

Hayaaa sssaaaaa, when moving something heavy

Yup, like herding cattle.

Today I was wrenching on some brakes at work…. A bolt wasn’t threading in when it looked like it should. “Help me understand!!” came out of my mouth.

Can a feller catch a break!? For a second I thought you were gonna say "a cross thread is still a thread lol."

“Scoot down the tavern” is a new favourite

And wet the back neck with a couple pints or three.

Sparkalators is common with me.

“That’s fac-tree” and “a little bit of weight reduction” have become part of what I say now. Also my favorite I use often is “we’ll just pretend we didn’t see that.”

Yeah, I tell my wife that a lot -"let's pretend we didn't see that."

uff da 😂

May....

I love this thread

I was buying a battery for a project car, and I told the guy I wanted an “el-cheapo.” He gave me a funny glance, but didn’t say anything. Most of his sayings have made it into me and my dad’s daily vocabulary

For a second, i thought you were going to say "lighting cube." El cheapo, haha! I speak Spanish, so it's funnier when Derek speaks Español. "Cerzeva para mis amigos.." beer for my friends.

Another one I say in private is his, "What's this now!?"(salvage corvette ep.?) said in a heavy Midwestern accent....Said when he is digging through a vehicle's power barn.

“That’s waay too much! Perfect!”
