Amberlynn Reid - 600 pound pathological liar and U-Haul lesbian moving in with her next live-in maid/nurse/girlfriend.

Omg yes lol and another gem is "what have you."
Example: "Today was so busy for me. I adulted by going to Walmart and what have you."

English isn't my first language. I don't want to sound stupid, but could someone explain "what have you" to me? I am failing to understand it.

 

[C3PBRO]

She's currently humming and ignoring questions on YouNow, get in on this shit y'all!!!!

EDIT: NM she already logged off.

That's a good question. Not a stupid question at all. It feels easy, but it's actually a challenge to describe! I'll try and give it a shot:

It's kind of similar to "whatnot", if you're familiar with that. Or the even simpler, "and such."
It's basically a lazy way of trying to sound smart instead of only using "etc." to account for any and all miscellaneous details of the sentence.

So, to many people, (I'm guilty of doing this from time to time, too), more words is better than just saying, "etc." It's a way to fill in a gap to avoid having to describe every detail, like adding water to stock.

I call it a thickening agent, because that's exactly what it acts as in a sentence. You're just stretching the flavor of what you're saying, to make it seem like you've said more, when really, you haven't.

It's not a bad thing, though! It's just lingo.

For Amberlynn, though, it's a way of making it sound like she actually does more things throughout her day. She really doesn't.

AL was just on YouNow for about 3 minutes, she said she's trying to upload a makeup tutorial and being on younow was slowing the upload speed...

I can't wait for the makeup disaster / tutorial so we can watch her not do her eyebrows

English isn't my first language. I don't want to sound stupid, but could someone explain "what have you" to me? I am failing to understand it.

"What have you" is such a strange phrase, even for a native US-English speaker. It doesn't make any grammatical sense at all. And AL's not even using it correctly here, which just adds to the confusion.

It's used in colloquial speech the way etc./et cetera is used in writing, when you don't need to specify all of the objects you're talking about. "What have you" is just a twisted way of saying, "whatever else you have."

"Making soup is really easy; you don't even need a recipe. You can use any leftover meat, vegetables about to go bad, potatoes, beans, what have you." In this case, the "what have you" could be pearl barley, lentils, turnips, mushrooms, canned corn or tomatoes--literally any ingredient that could reasonably be added to your soup pot.

So it doesn't even make sense for AL to use it when describing errands she ran or things she did; "I adulted by going to Walmart, and getting other things done" is vague, but makes sense. "I adulted by going to Walmart and what have you" is vague and makes no sense at all. But hey, we're talking about Amberlynn, here.

You don't sound stupid at all. Speaking more than one language is impressive. I mean, look at Big Al and Amy Slaton. English is their only language and neither one speaks it well. You're so much more articulate than they are.

Why would she do a makeup tutorial? Doesn't anybody want to learn how to do her shitty-ass, basic-bitch makeup.

 

[C3PBRO]

Oh shit she does it like that on purpose? Here I thought people were fan-mailing her glitter bombs.

[Sure Thing Idiot]

English isn't my first language. I don't want to sound stupid, but could someone explain "what have you" to me? I am failing to understand it.

"What have you" is an easy-out way to continue a series of something without having to describe what all the things might be in detail. For example, I have a lot of reading material in my house. Shelves of books, magazines, comics, what have you. Brenda's bed is as you'd imagine it. Bedframe, pillows, comforter, what have you. It's kind of like etc. It's not a stupid question. There's a lot of sayings in English that are really odd. As other people have already said AL wouldn't be using it correctly. Going to Walmart isn't strictly an adult thing so adding "what have you" doesn't further the series of "adult" things or give any indication of what those adult things could otherwise be. She uses the word "literally" as a way to express intense emotion, which is competely wrong, and often mispronounces words like sporadically as spearodically. She has a very limited vocabulary. I wouldn't worry too much trying to decode what she says as she says and uses half her words wrong anyways.

 

[Lyssa]

She's on younow again if anyone wants to listen to her.

 

[Barbarella]

American colloquialisms can be confusing and make no sense, especially because there are regional ones too. I'm sure there are phrases in every language that don't really make a lot of sense. Never worry about asking.

AL is the only person I've ever heard who actually says "what have you." I don't know if that's because I'm from the West or because I don't know many IRL idiots. She has the laziest speech patterns of everybody I've ever heard. She also confesses to not knowing the meaning of simple words.

Writer? Never.

Don't forget to add "Goals" to the list of Amberlynnisms. For her, goals means something she knows she'll never do.

Lymphedema is horrible and if she doesn't have it yet, she will, and that should scare the crap out of her. Even if she loses the weight, she'll still have it. It means a lifetime of compression garments, staying out of hot tubs, having difficulty flying and needing lymphatic massage. It also means that working out is harder. In the billion to one chance she got her shit together and wanted to lift weights, that could cause a flare up. Unfortunately, there are surgeries that can lead to lymphedema-removing lymph nodes because of cancer, for example. That's why you sometimes see thin people with one large arm or leg. It isn't something you want.

She also likely needs a c-pap. She complains about sleeping so much -it wouldn't surprise me if she has apnea.

At 26, she's in worse health than many 70 year olds.

Highlights so far:

What position do you sleep in? "On my side" (spoiler alert: 90% of her could be described as her sides).

Also, she's already backing out on the Monday-Friday uploads. She said at one point she was too busy, and a few minutes later that she doesn't have enough going on to make vlogging interesting. So which is it?

Also here's her most recent upload, a GRWM:

Ugh couldn't get through more than a few minutes of this, she uses dollar-store shit and applies it with her fucking fingers. I didn't know makeup application could get more retarded than Kailyn.

 

[Sure Thing Idiot]

Here's a few more AL translations

Yuh knoh! - I can't justify what I just said
It - your pet
Bae - the most important of all the trivial things in my life, which changes constantly
Walmart - high end
Yehhsss! - the food/thing I'm trying for the first time didn't disappoint me even though I say it for nearly everything, which renders the expression completely useless
Honestly - either not honestly/filler word
Cute - everything she's sees
Literally - never literal
Is life - same as Bae

Transcription from YouNow stream, part 1:

She's, like, forcing herself to eat meat. And she knows she should take a multivitamin, but like, she hates taking pills. She admits she's eating like shit, she's not here to lie to us.

Rates herself a 2.5/10.

Rates just her face with makeup a 6. Or a 5. Without makeup, a fat fucking zero.

Claims she enjoys the gym.

She likes chicken tenders if they're cooked right. Loves salmon. Might have turkey burgers tonight cuz she needs meat.

She can't do a live cooking show on YouNow because she is not wearing pants. There is no point to her putting on pants unless she's going outside. Claims her pants still fit her. Has never met anyone who wears all their clothing when they're home. Lots of YouTubers don't bother wearing pants.

Says she does not have lymphedema but she does worry about it a lot.

Feels like she has gained back some of her weight. Gets tired of people focusing on her weight and her eyebrows.

She has yet to practice driving.

She's gonna do what she wants to her body so like get off her back. It's all about what she wants to do.

 

[sailorville]

On her younow she just said whoever was in that snapchat that she took at her house this past week, with Dana and Destiny is not in fact Becky Williams but is her friend Maggie that she's not dating. Does she just blatantly lie like this for no reason at all? I don't understand why she would lie about that.

Transcription from YouNow stream, part 2:

And like, if you guys don't like the quality of her videos, then like, just go move on to someone else. She literally cannot upload from her laptop with the wifi she has. She would possibly get a Mac laptop, and the trip to the vet went amaaaazing.

And saying YouTube is not a job is just so silly. It is how she lives and pays for all her animals and shit. She pays taxes just like the rest of us. She knows it's a weird concept that people can sit on camera and get paid for it but she's not here to judge and we shouldn't either. She doesn't know what else to say about it, it's just really weird.

She's never put out good content, her content is what it is. Like why do you people want to change her now?!?! You subscribed to this, you don't have the right to ask her to do more.

Someone said she's bitchy tonight so she cut off mid sentence. Or at least it cut off that way on YouTube.

 

[Dr.Research]

AL should not be using that brownish red eye shadow. Her under eyes are naturally ("naturally") dark and discolored so there isn't much difference between the two. Wouldn't be surprised if the shadow isn't well pigmented.

I, like AL, also am shit at using makeup and usually go without, but is using your fingers really a thing? I'd imagine that you'd get uneven smudging whereas with a brush you can dust more evenly. I also know that some people swear by ELF and some of their stuff is good, but even WalMart stocks higher end makeup.

How can she be nervous doing her makeup on camera? This isn't a live steam, right? If she fucks up she can just start over or quick cut.

Using a brush to put on that foundation is re.tarded. That's what you use your fingers for. Sure, there might be a way to use a brush, but it sure ain't that.

Her using blush to contour(I guess) is useless because you can't contour a circle. I can't speak to using certain eyeshadow as highlighter, is that really a thing outside White Trash Land?

Her lip color is unflattering as well. It just makes her look sickly and drab. I think a brighter pink or red would work a bit better.

At around 9:44, she says, "Sometimes I get bored of things, and I move on to try something different."

...

Edit: So, I might just be nitpicking, but isn't it a little fucking odd that she spent about 25 minutes doing a crappy makeup job, when she could have spent that time doing oh, I dunno, ACTUAL PHYSICAL activity?! Take that shitty, fat, little dog outside for a REAL walk, for once.

 

[tentacake]

She had comment moderators on YT this time, people's mean comments were getting deleted as they were posted. Does she not realize the only reason people watch her is to talk shit in the comments?
