It’s like English was built for him to make fun of.

Ismo explaining English words from a Webster dictionary.... I JUST LOVE IT!

@poerneyinc.94 5 років тому

Knowing Ismo a little, I am honestly disappointed there were no sausages in the trunk.

He's from LA. People in San Francisco have sausages in the trunk.

@timomastosalo 4 роки тому

How do you know? Maybe there was. How long do you think they last in Ismo's hands? :) He opened the trunk, saw the sausages, went quiet for a while, and the sausages were gone. Maybe he was thinking which word tricks he coukd do about the contains of the box, maybe he did a magic trick. - but the sausages disppeared for some reason. Maybe they evaporated when he opened the trunk.

@bobosims1848 2 роки тому

Of course there were no sausages in the trunk... He's a vegan, who occasionally eats lots of sausages. That's why they're not in the trunk: he's eaten them!

@thrasherdave1428 Рік тому

Nah but there is junk in the trunk 😊

@smashgambits 5 років тому

He missed the opportunity to call the trunk a "chest" and tie that back to the human body :)

@pedrocorga 3 роки тому

hahahah that's brilliant! Man I do love the English language, so quirky and random! :D

@snehalquest 5 років тому

Superb way of teaching English words. Amazingly amazing. :)

I love ISMO and his English explaining and jokes

@disuser-lp3qv1tm8f 7 місяців тому

I didn't know my everyday thoughts could be stand-up comedy material. This is basically how I have been pondering my acquired languages over many years.

@bboypanda7776 6 місяців тому

It's not only what you say, but how you say it.. ;)

Booting a computer comes from bootstrapping, which comes from the actual boot, pulling yourself up from the bootstraps.

@cabletelcontar5440 4 роки тому

Well, that doesn't help any better than Ismo's shaking booty😊

@mikeymcmikeface5599 4 роки тому

And rebooting is restarting. The first start is booting. 😏

@dylandamianmcewan9867 7 місяців тому

I laughed so much! Love it!

This is nothing like what I thought it would be, now I remember why I subscribed

@JerrodPotter 9 місяців тому

Seriously, English (especially American English) is so unnecessarily complicated. Thanks, ISMO, for making light of this weird subject. More videos, please. :)

@philwright2480 Рік тому

George Carlin would have loved ISMO, brilliant

@AmazingPhilippines1 Рік тому

Haha! Funny guy. Love it. Watching from the Philippines.

@The1402784 Рік тому

This is actually informative. I have been studying English for years now and am studying in University, but I actually found this information useful when mentioned together. Much appriciated

@MobiusBandwidth Рік тому

sorry English is so ridiculous!

@willariza00 5 років тому

Well played Merriam Webster! I wondered why I was subscribed to your channel and I was ready to leave the building... Then I watched the content featuring Ismo I'm still subscribed and, somehow, I feel smarter ;)

@hugostiglitz6914 4 роки тому

Did anyone else think that, "Shake that booty" means something completly different!😁

@timomastosalo 3 роки тому

Most ones did... Why did you think he mentioned it? :)

@racefrazier7998 4 роки тому

A "butt dial" means you accidentally called them on the phone, A "booty call" mean, to call a "friend with benefits" and well.... you know do things.

@cyannafulgence8092 2 роки тому

To BOOT a computer is to Start it. Restart of a computer is REBOOT.

@HeadHunterSix Рік тому

Rebooting means "to boot again", not that we should have to explain that to someone watching a Merriam-Webster video of course. So rebooting is, by definition, booting. Don't take my word for it...

@mrimatt6210 5 років тому

1:58 Shake that booty. Still laughing.

@stefanjr1250 5 років тому

One day, when humans get sick of being separated by a common language, we will invent a new language, and in that language every single word will be unique, and no word will ever have a second meaning. And in this way, we will finally learn to communicate with each other properly. I am absolutely positive this will happen eventually, and there is precedent: King Sejong of Korea invented modern Korean and hangul, all by himself! And he did an amazing job, too!

@balorclub3774 5 років тому

Upload idioms of the day. Upload more videos regarding vocabulary.

@MerriamWebster 5 років тому

Thanks for the suggestion!

@looseygoosey23 4 роки тому

Make Finland great again. So pathetic to see a Finn paying a tribute to English as if there was no one else to do that in the UK or in the US&A
