PSA for Americans: Cheerio means GOODBYE and in my 45 years of living in England I’ve only known 1 person who said it regularly. Also Bugger means to forcefully sodomise, try to remember that when you use it at inappropriate junctures. Also Wanker is a relatively harsh insult, some of my countrymen might not take it with good cheer.
I like taking obsolete expressions (to my understanding "cheerio" is the only expression here that qualifies as obsolete) and seeing if I can make them sound natural. For years, I've been saying "How do you do?" when I meet people; no one ever bats an eye. It's all in the delivery.

I have never in all my life living in Britian heard someone say cheerio. Except maybe ironically to mock the sterotype. If they genuinely did say it, the word 'wanker' that we actually do use would come in handy
During my vacation in northern England I heard it a couple of times and never ironically. I didn't know that it is something Americans consider stereotypically British (since I'm a German speaker) and I considered it quite charming.
I'm from one of the more British-positive parts of Northern Ireland and I would say "cheerio" quite frequently. But we also call the Police "Peelers", which was Victorian slang that has since gone out of fashion over in Britain so maybe we're just behind the times a bit over here 😂
Shouting "ALLO GUVNA!!" at random cars should happen more often IRL. The rest of these people need someone in their life who is willing to tell them "That was f***ing embarrassing. NEVER do that again."
Naw go ahead, I like seeing y'all attempt them. It's not nearly as awful as what these people have done. It's really impressive when someone does an American accent that isn't Boston, New York or Southern.
Sorry but we people of the world can do an American accent way better than they can any of ours! Mostly you just have to shout-talk and say OMG OMG OMG a lot.

I'm an American who has lived in the UK for almost 6 years, and I definitely have never heard anyone but Americans say these things. It's embarrassing. I also don't know anyone here who gave a shit about anything that happened over the weekend, and we were all just happy for the long weekend. I'm convinced that everyone who actually went to the Jubilee was a tourist. I was in Central London on Saturday for something else and saw all the people wearing flags and even wigs, like Americans do on the 4th of July. You never see patriotism like that here.
I beg to disagree. I'm a former Pom, now Australian. I went back to visit family when the soccer world cup was on in Germany. In England there were St. George flags everywhere on everything. Growing up there I'd never seen the Union Jack dismantled so jingoistically before. It made me queasy. I hate that kind of rabid American style patriotism.
I lost it when the guy yelled "HELLO GUVNA!" at the random car.

Suddenly I have an urge to throw tea in a body of water. Weird.
They got something, but it wasn't British.
I’m American and this hurt my soul.
My best British accent is basically Salad Fingers.
We fought two fucking wars for the right to not have to do this shit
I'm an American who has lived in the UK for almost 6 years, and I definitely have never heard anyone but Americans say these things. It's embarrassing. I also don't know anyone here who gave a shit about anything that happened over the weekend, and we were all just happy for the long weekend. I'm convinced that everyone who actually went to the Jubilee was a tourist. I was in Central London on Saturday for something else and saw all the people wearing flags and even wigs, like Americans do on the 4th of July. You never see patriotism like that here.
I beg to disagree. I'm a former Pom, now Australian. I went back to visit family when the soccer world cup was on in Germany. In England there were St. George flags everywhere on everything. Growing up there I'd never seen the Union Jack dismantled so jingoistically before. It made me queasy. I hate that kind of rabid American style patriotism.
During my time in Blighty, I did hear "cheerio" occasionally, but usually it's used as 'goodbye'.
That's because it actually means goodbye

Yes, I know that. As you probably didn't notice, the announcers were using it as a greeting.
@@grimftl you said “usually” rather than “always”, so they were clarifying for you
@@callistogarnet, looks like a beautiful example of British understatement to me.
These fuckin accents cause me physical pain.
