"Explain a new commerce"
If I hear correctly, guy says "explain a new commerce", meaning to explain new things, novelties. But I never heard this expression before and searching was inconclusive. Is there such an expression? 212.180.235.46 (talk) 14:48, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "Explain to the newcomers here" is what he says, and mercifully within the first two seconds of this crap. --Wrongfilter (talk) 15:09, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Wow, that was... rude. I'll give a more detailed (and, hopefully, more polite) answer.


 * Newcomers = new people coming to the channel (hence the name);
 * Veterans = people who have already played the game many times;
 * Regulars = people who have already subscribed and watched the channel for many months or even years.


 * So, the narrator is explaining an *old* trick to *new* people (i.e. newcomers). Newcomer does not mean a young person, but someone who who is neither a *veteran* nor a *regular* (i.e. who neither played the game nor visited the channel before). The trick itself (punching+jumping in Mortal Kombat) is a very know one to MK veterans and the channel regulars.


 * Hope this helps. Mdob (talk) 21:27, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
