Southern Woman Cracks Herself Up With All The Insults She's Learned Since Moving To The UK

An American living in England couldn't hide her amusement at some of their more unusual native insults, so she decided to share them on TikTok.

And her joy at England's unusual smack-down terminology has now been seen by over 1.7 million viewers.


@yorkshirepeach, a self described "Georgia Peach living In Yorkshire", has been taking to the social media app to share the many cultural differences she's discovered since expatriating.

And a video in which she shared her discovery of a number of British pejoratives she was previously unaware of proved particularly popular.

Titled "American in the UK: British insults I'd never heard until I moved here", @yorkshirepeach began her list with one of the Brit's most popular insults to throw, "wanker."

A term for an unpleasant or disagreeable person, wanker literally means someone who masturbates.

@yorkshirepeach immediately laughed at the very sound of the word in her quintessential southern drawl, admitting it sounded far less potent than when spoken with a clipped British accent.

"I can't get away with saying it, can I?

After saying it once again with her hard American "R" at the end, she then repeated the word in a faux British accent—sans "R"—wondering if it was more effective that way.

An insult @yorkshirepeach found even more amusing, however was "bellend" which she admitted to being initially baffled by.

"Why did it take me literally like three years to realize what it even meant?"

Indeed, many other Americans watching the video were also likely confused by this one, which is a slang term for the head of a penis.

"I never heard that before I moved here. It's funny when you think about it, innit?"
"I just never thought about what it actually means."

Even while @yorkshirepeach might still be getting used to the insults, she proved to have adapted to some British speech patterns, notably her use of "innit" as opposed to "isn't it."

Though the British insult @yorkshirepeach seemed to appreciate far above the rest, was referring to another person as a "wet lettuce," usually thrown at someone believed to have weak character.

"Maybe it's just me, but I never heard that before I moved here."
"But it's so perfect, I mean think of it, have you ever thought it through?"
"How bad is wet lettuce, has anyone ever served you a salad and it's a bit soggy?"
"There's nothing worse than a soggy salad, is there?"

People filled @yorkshirepeach's comment section with even more unusual British put-downs.

However, many claimed just about anything can be used as an insult in England, even some of the most seemingly friendly words.

The newfound information just about any word could be used in a derogatory fashion in England prompted @yorkshirepeach to post a follow-up video.

#americanintheuk

Titled "American in the UK: Wait so anything can be an insult here?," @yorkshirepeach addressed one of the comments which suggested any word could be used as an insult as long as it was preceded by "absolute."

She then invited others to share their favorite, unusual insults and people were quick to oblige.

@yorkshirepeach ended the video by adding one of her own.

"You absolute... milk carton."

@yorkshirepeach quickly laughed it off, admitting it was a less than effective insult.

But as her follow up video has since secured over 71 thousand likes, she may very well hear someone screaming "you absolute milk carton" to the telly when watching football next time she frequents her local pub.

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
