'I'm an American married to a Brit – these three UK phrases make no sense' An American man has shared the three phrases his British wife uses that left him the most confused.
Finally, Darrell added: “Last but certainly not least, ‘you taking the p***?’ My wife and I met online, we hadn’t been talking but a few days, we got on the phone, had been chatting for about an hour, having a great discussion and out of the blue, she just says, ‘you taking the p***?’.
This was the case for Darrell, a man from Texas, who got married to a Brit named Jen after they met online.
In a popular TikTok video, Darell said: “Confusing Americans is another thing Brits do better and I speak from personal experience as a Texan married to a Brit.
In the UK, seemingly common expressions may make perfect sense to locals but Americans may can need some extra help to deduce the meaning.
