Reminds me of the first time a friend of mine and his dad went to London. They were both more or less fluent, though his dad less so:
My friend's dad, trying to order an extra rare steak: "A bloody steak, please"
Waiter, without missing a beat: "Certainly, sir. Would you like some fucking potatoes with that?"
Did ye aye
I mean it is kind of weird that “rare” is used to denote “barely cooked”, when it usually means “very scarce or hard to find”.
Haha this is amazing
Yeah, as a non-native speaker, I've always considered that really weird too. Same with "well done", which is apparently worse than murder if you're enthusiastic about steaks 😄
Blue or Blue-Rare are the steps above rare afaik (at least in the US, not sure about England). Any restaurant that asks "what does that mean" isn't a restaurant I'd trust to serve me meat that is cool in the middle.
Made my day
My first WTF moment with British English was walking into a restaurant & the hostess asked: “are you alright?”. “Do I have a bloody nose?” I quaked. Turns out it was just how folks say “what’s up?” as a hello there.
to which she responded, "Yes of course you have a nose, but why are you cursing about it?"
It’s more just “alright mate”, or even just “reet”.
...so they remembered a Twitter post in their dream, and posted that as if it was their joke?
Strangely enough, it's the same user. Makes it even weirder in a way
Voldemort: 😢
Wtf

This person makes dreams into reality.
Legend
bloody twat
Lando Norris be like
Hey, it won him the race.
How did a bloody nose win an F1 race?
You have to sacrifice a body part if you're not Max Verstappen (because his sacrifice was a visit to the gas station)
By being a twat, if my memory or no is is correct.
Major Kovalyov: "Am I a joke to you?"
