I don't think Wahey's mate says 'loads' as per transcript. He's asked 'do you go into women's spaces?' and he replies 'I use womens loos'.
I thought so too at first but Edge of Matrix guy replies, "You use women's loads. Right."
Even though Edge of Matrix guy was right there so I should not have reason to doubt him, I also listened to the video several times turning up the volume each time. It was only when it was much louder that I could hear that he was saying, "loads" not "loos".
The YouTube automatic transcript, screenshot by Shedmistress · 22 March 2026 08:39, analysed his speech as "loads" because it is probably more reliable than the ear and brain of a human who is attending to the YT audio filtered through speakers plus it is also unhampered by a heavy weight of prediction based on context.
Phonemic transcription:
Big Red Bloke says /'ləʊz/ instead of /'ləʊdz/
- He misses out the /d/ sound
Effect of listener prediction:
What we are likely to predict him saying in this context is "loos" /'lu:z/
In combination:
Imprecise pronunciation + Prediction = on first listening it is very easy to hear /'lu:z/ ("loos") instead of "loads".
