- An American living in London has revealed the five phrases he doesn’t like
An American living in London has revealed the five phrases he can’t understand since moving to the British capital.
TikTok user @Kjordy, who has over 175,000 followers on the social media platform, took to the account to share five popular British phrases that he had begun to dislike, prompting viewers to react in hilariously.
Revealing the first popular British phrase he disliked, he said “bloody” – as in an exclamation rather than an adjective.
The vlogger said he didn’t like the use of that phrase simply because it reminded him of blood, commenting: “I don’t understand the need to say that.”
Next on his list was the word b****cks, which he incorrectly pronounced as bullocks, and admitted that he didn’t even know what that word meant.

TikTok user @Kjordy, who has over 175,000 followers on the social media platform, took to the account to share five popular British phrases that he had grown to dislike.
He added: “All I know is that when they are angry, they shout ‘oh, damn it.'”
Moving on to his third favourite phrase – and the one he was most turned off by overall – the content creator revealed that he was horrified by the word ‘dribble’.
K Jordy said the word sounded ‘so off-putting’ to him after he first heard it, that every time he hears it now, it ‘doesn’t sit well with him.’
His penultimate word was on a dish that is popular with millions of Britons and a staple of traditional fry-ups.
The American said he hated the sound of bubbling and squeaking, although he confessed he did not know what the dish consisted of.
Revealing her last word, which was popular among Brits and which she failed to understand, the TikTok star said it was “k**b”.
Responding to comments to help him better understand some of the words that confused him, other TikTok users said:
‘Bubble and squeak is simply leftovers from a roast or Christmas dinner, fried and served for breakfast.’
‘Bubble and squeak is usually roast potatoes and cabbage left over from Sunday dinner and fried the next day. The noise it makes is bubble and squeak.’
‘Dribbing also means when someone talks too much. ‘Don’t believe what that man says,’ that’s why it’s so good.
‘Bubbles and squeals are dog shit!’
