An American expat residing in London has humorously highlighted five British words that he believes should be “outlawed” due to their oddness.
K Jordy, who refers to himself as a “mere Yank amongst Brits”, has gained over 174,000 followers on TikTok by sharing amusing insights about the UK. His light-hearted comparisons between the two countries have been well-received.
In his most recent viral video, he focused on British slang from expletives to food-related terms that baffle him. K Jordy expressed: “First up is bloody I just don’t understand the need to say that. Every time I hear it I think of blood.
“Second we’ve got ‘bullocks’ [he means b*llocks]. When I first heard someone shout it I genuinely thought something was going down.”
He added: “Number three is the grossest in my opinion dribble. Dribble is when someone is drooling out their mouth. It just sounds so gross when they’re like ‘Oh, someone has a little dribble in their mouth’.It doesn’t really sound right or sit with me well.
“Number four is the food and it’s bubble and squeak. ‘Til this day I don’t know what the hell bubble and squeak is. I don’t wanna have dinner and someone puts down bubble and squeak on my plate.”
He concluded by saying: “And last but not least is knob it doesn’t really sound right. And you know exactly what I’m thinking when someone first tries to call someone a knob bro. I was like ‘nah, this can’t be real!”
‘The humorous footage, shared on TikTok just a few days back, has attracted over 20,400 views and a flood of comments from Brits eager to enlighten K Jordy about UK slang.
One user explained: “It’s b*llocks and it means testicles. Just for clarity. Another stated: “Bullocks is a castrated bull you mean b*llocks lad!
“This was followed by a comment: “Bubble and squeak is just leftovers from a roast dinner or Christmas dinner type thing, fried and served for breakfast. ” A fourth chimed in: “Bubble and squeak is fab! I’m making it tomorrow.”
