I’m an American living in London… here are FIVE of your favourite phrases that I cannot stand
- An American man living in London has revealed the five sentences he doesn’t like
An American man living in London has revealed the five sentences he can’t understand since moving to the British capital.
TikTok user @Kjordy, who has over 175,000 followers on the social media platform, shared five popular British sayings he no longer likes on the account, prompting hilarious reactions from viewers.
The first popular British expression he didn’t like was “bloody.” That’s when it’s an exclamation rather than an adjective.
The vlogger said he didn’t like using this phrase because it reminded him of blood. He said, “I don’t know why I have to say that.”
Next on his list was the word b****cks, which he incorrectly pronounced as bullocks. He admitted he didn’t even know what the word meant.

He added: ‘All I know is when [British people] are pissed off, they’re yelling ‘oh b****cks’.
The third sentence he said, and the one that generally put him off the most, was the content creator, who said he was shocked by the word “drool.”
K Jordy said the word sounded “so dirty” to him when he first heard it, and that when he hears it now, “it doesn’t sit right with him.” [him] Good’.
His penultimate word was a dish popular with millions of Britons and a staple of traditional fried food.
The American said he hated the sound of the bubbles and the squeaking and confessed he didn’t know what the dish consisted of.
The TikTok star revealed his latest, popular word among Brits that he didn’t realize he was using, calling it “f**k.”
Other TikTok users took to the comments to help him better understand some of the words that confused him, saying:
‘Bubble and squeak is simply the leftovers from a roast dinner or a Christmas dinner, fried and served for breakfast.’
‘Bubble and squeak is normally fried potatoes and cabbage left over from Sunday dinner and fried the next day. The sound it makes is bubble and squeak’.
“Dribbling” also means someone talks too much. “Don’t believe that guy’s dribbling,” that’s what makes it so good.
‘Bubble and Squeak are the dog’s tits!’
