What did this Briton say?



The video starts like this.

Girl 1: How are you guys?
Girl 2: Good.
Boy 1: ____________________? Pretty much the same?
Girl 2: He's still sunburned.
Boy 1: Oi, that's healthy clogger.

Boy 1 sounds like a Briton. What did he say in the blank?

Also, what does he mean by "that's healthy clogger?" if that's really what he said.

Thanks!!

I can hear "that's healthy colour of that" instead of "that's healthy clogger".

As to the blank, it is clear from the context that Boy 1 asks about some else's well being. So, there is probably the name of that person in his phrase, that's why it is not easy to tell words apart in what he is saying.

Thanks. Is it really natural to add 'of that' at the end like that?

How about "that's healthy colour there"?

Also, would you please fill in the blank if you can hear it?

The blank phrase is in Italian: Molto Bene, grazie.

By the way, Anon, except in newspapers, we rarely call British people 'Britons', and a single British person is never a Briton.

Thanks for the tip.
But other than 'Briton', I can't think of any one-word noun that refers to a British person. Is there one that I can use in this particular context?

There is no completely acceptable single word for us. I have no objection to 'Brit', and use the word myself, but some Brits are offended by it. This is one of those awkward gaps in the language. For people from Scotland (Scots) and male people from England (Englishmen), there is no problem. The others are just 'British people'.
