- An American man living in London has revealed the five phrases that he dislikes
An American man living in London has revealed the five phrases that he cannot get his head around since moving to the British capital.
TikTok user @Kjordy, who has over 175,000 followers on the social media platform, took to this account to share five popular British phrases that he had grown to dislike, prompting viewers to react in hilarious fashion.
Revealing the first popular British phrase he disliked, he said ‘bloody’ – such as when it is as an exclamation rather than an adjective.
The vlogger said that he disliked the use of this phrase simply because it reminded him of blood, as he remarked: ‘I don’t understand the need to say that’.
Next up on his list was the word b****cks – which he incorrectly pronounced as bullocks – and admitted to not even knowing what the word meant.

He added: ‘All I know is when [British people] are p****d off, they shout oh b****cks’.
Moving on to his third phrase of choice – and the one that he was most repulsed by overall – the content creator revealed that he was horrified by the word ‘dribble’.
K Jordy said the word sounded ‘so gross’ to him after he first heard it, that whenever he hears it now, ‘it doesn’t sit with [him] well’.
His penultimate word was one dish that is popular with millions of Brits and a staple of the traditional fry-up.
The American said he hated the sound of bubble and squeak, while confessing that he did not know what the dish consisted of.
Revealing his final word popular with Brits that he had failed to get his head around, the TikTok star said it was ‘k**b’.
Taking to the comments to help him better understand some of the words he was confused by, other TikTok users said:
‘Bubble and squeak is just left overs from a roast dinner or Christmas dinner type thing, fried and served for breakfast.’
‘Bubble and squeak is normally roast potatoes and cabbage left over from Sunday dinner fried up the day after. The noise it makes is bubble and squeak’.
‘Dribble also means when someone talks to much. ”Don’t believe that man’s dribble” which makes it so good’.
‘Bubble and squeak is the dog’s b******s!’
