Clutter filled walls and rooms but the cameras turned their backs on them as lights flashed and people prepared to mic up. Delilah stood, wearing a mustard top, a low neckline was visible and her black trousers were looser but professional. Mustard heels were word and jewellery hung from her ears, neck and wrist as she watched the mic clip into place.

A table was seen and a few familiar faces were recognised as Delilah was handed cards, cards she had written the majority of. The group around the table were laughing and as soon as she joined them, she joined in on the conversation. Making her smile as well. That was until the cameras started and Damien introduced the video. "What's up guys, today we are playing a fun game. That is, WTFUsay? In this game, Lemon here has come along and she has picked some of her favourite British slang and we have to try and guess what it means. And at the end, if we have time, she is going to give us a sentence or two in another language. She doesn't know about that yet but now he does. And why the F would we not pick our resident British polyglot to host this?" Damien reminded the viewers to like and subscribe violently before the cameras cut and they prepared for the rest of the video.

The cameras came back to and the first round began. Whiteboards at the ready. Courtney and Ian jokingly competing against each other as Shayne and Damien jokingly knocked the boards and pens from one another. Keith and Ify trying to stay out of trouble while Kimmy was stuck between the squabbling pairs, not sure what to do. "Okay guys, the first WTFUsay is relatively easy." Delilah began and she made sure to emphasise the last word. "Natter." The timer started and pens met boards as they started to write down what they believed it was. Everyone had managed to guess that it meant to talk to others casually.

"I'm gonna win. Easy." Courtney bragged but Kimmy puckered her lips.

"I don't know. Damien talks to Delilah the most and these are phrases she uses." Kimmy's suggestion caused daggers to be joyfully sent to Damien as Courtney pretended to threaten him.

"If you win, I will fuck you up."

"I think that you are just a bad loser." Damien's cool boy voice had surfaced and Shayne quietly laughed as he watched the pair butt heads.

"Next word...s," Delilah mused as she hoped to redirect the video. "Chin wag." The words caused uncomfortable laughs as they tried to guess what it meant. "Damien, I literally said this today. Like, five minutes ago because I forgot I was saying it in this video." Damien squashed his lips against one another as he heard her admit that while the others waited for any help he could give.

"I am sure you did but you use so many British terms that I just block it all out." Delilah's smile grew into something Damien hadn't seen before. He couldn't be sure of what it meant.

"Maybe that is why we get along so well, I speak and you don't listen." Damien nodded to her and Delilah shook her head slowly before she urged them to write. They eventually did just that until the timer rang through the room. Courtney would go first.

"So, I would first like to say that I am loving your look. And those heels are gorgeous." Delilah's eyes glanced around the room before she realised that she was the only one wearing heels.

"If you are trying to suck up, it isn't going to work. I hate heels and only wear them if I have to go to court. Like I was this morning. So, what does chin wag mean?" Courtney quietly swore before smiling again and glancing at Ian.

"I answered it with another British slang word." Delilah's eyes widened and her lips twitched up at the corners, looking hopeful. "Elevenses. I have heard you say it before and I thought that it might be right." Deliah shook her head as she saw the board and almost laughed.

"Okay, Ian what did you think?" By the time the answers got to Damien, Delilah held out no hope. Ian had guessed it to be a sexual position and Shayne thought it might have been a gag.
