An American in the UK shared the things she didn’t say until she moved here, and she’s one of us now

Back in 2021, American TikToker Lisa Dollan – known as @yorkshirepeach – shared the British insults she’d learnt since moving to Yorkshire. She went wildly viral.

Here’s a reminder.

It looks like Lisa’s learning curve is going really well, as she later posted this collection of other British phrases she now uses, and it’s highly relatable.

TikTok users recognised their own habits in Lisa’s list – and confirmed her status as an honorary Brit.
